Every time a new Borderlands game comes out, we all frantically farm bosses in search of cool legendary guns and gear, and that’s not changed in Borderlands 4<\/a>. In fact, it’s more convenient than ever thanks to Moxxi’s Big Encore machines\u2014devices that let you retry bosses as many times as you want.<\/p>\n

Already, we’ve found the reprised iconic Doom-inspired Hellwalker<\/a> shotgun, the pleasantly-named Rainbow Vomit<\/a> that covers all your elemental needs, and the Slippy<\/a>, a fish grenade.<\/p>\n

Of all the 150-odd legendaries discovered so far, though, one has taken the cake as the most ridiculous: the Kickballer<\/a>. When paired with a Jakobs licensed part and enhancement, you can get this shotgun to infinitely bounce projectiles around the room, nuking everything on the screen. More often than not, that also includes you, which can get pretty awkward as there’s usually nothing left standing for you to kill to revive yourself.<\/p>\n

But what if I told you that there was another way? Some other shotgun that does brain-breaking damage that won’t kill you in the process, and<\/em> is somehow a random-ass purple item? Well, there is, it’s the Quincunx Stellium<\/strong>, a Maliwan shotgun. As showcased by content creator Moxsy, you’re looking for one with the energy disc alt-fire that bounces around, and a Jakobs licensed part.<\/p>\n
