Guide: 'Borderlands 2' - Unique and Legendary Weapons, Grenades, Shields, and Relics

Borderlands 2 is fairly simple. Basically you shoot enemies, they drop loot, and you pick it up. Rinse and repeat your way to the top. If that's not your style of game then you pretty much suck anyway, so your opinion doesn't matter.

For those of us out there who aren't absolute losers, the following guide will help you find the majority of the Unique and Legendary weapons. I say majority because I have yet to find all of them.

Like every other guide I have created, if you find something that isn't listed please let me know. I'll place it in the guide and give you credit. Hell, maybe I'll be feeling generous that day and throw you some swag.

Guide: 'Borderlands 2' - How to Unlock Heads

  1. Hey man, so I just ran into son of mothrakk while doing some gun runs on the preservation, and I saw in this compiled guide that he drops (or rather has the chance to drop) the skulls masher sniper rifle which is an orange weapon. I was wondering if you have confirmed this, or if someone else let you to believe this is where you can get the weapon, etc. I have killed him several times (before going to dashboard to try again) and haven't seem any weapons, let alone the skullsmaser you listed above. Any ideas? I just don't want to miss out on this chance for a legendary weapon

    1. These have all been confirmed yes. They are random however, so you may have to defeat him more times than you would like.

  19. I got a blue rocket launcher called the hive with the red text "Full Of Bees" from Saturn. But I can not confirm if he is known to have a high drop rate for it, I have killed him about 20 times now, and only the first kill got me the Hive

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I just confirmed that Saturn drops the Hive, It is a super awesome rocket launcher that when fired takes up 4 rockets, but does not explode like a normal rocket launcher. It spawns an orb that rises and spins shooting acid darts in every direction http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=99448120&insideModal=1&showComments=0

    And a relic from terra called Blood of Terramorphous, 0.5% health regen a second.

  25. I got the Feral Veruc (DAHL) from killing Molbey in the "The Good, The Bad and The Mordecai" quest. I'm not sure if this applies, but I shot Molbey into pieces with a shotgun and he dropped it.

  26. Got the "New and Improved Deliverance" shotgun from Tumbaa. It's in the Wildlife Exploitation Perserve.

    ReplyDelete
  27. The Orange Pistol "Infinity" (Vladof) can be dropped by the main target in the quest "Medical Mystery" given by zed early on in the game.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Vault Hunter's Relic is given to every character created on an account that belongs to the Premiere Club (I personally got in by pre-ordering), and the Scorpio is given by Mordecai after... someone... dies.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I mentioned its location earlier, but I noticed the Orange SMG Slagga hasn't yet been updated. It is found upon killing "Jimbo and Tector Hodunk." Here is an image link of the gun: http://s13.postimage.org/nrvmnrekn/Akurate_Slagga.png

  34. I got the Vladof Infinity (orange) pistol from killing Dr. Mercy. The quest was Medical Mystery taken from Dr. Zed.

  56. Got a shield not on your list.

    The Cradle.
    Legendary Tediore shield.

    When depleted, the shield is discarded and explodes like a tediore gun would when reloaded. It respawns, so to speak, after it is recharged. Mine is less than 300 shield strength, but has almost 400 shield regen with a 5 second delay at level 16. Got it from Henry, the stalker from the mission in the Highlands: overlook. The mother's love side mission, or w/e it was called. I would post a link to my steam screenshot, but it won't upload for whatever reason.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I'd like to ask if you can remove the name of the mission and list which enemy that dropped it instead. It would really help those of us who beat the game and are just trying to farm up some good gear to swap to as we level, or those of us who are trying to get a specific item and don't remember the missions. >_>

    I know that I've had to start like, 5 different characters just to find some of these missions again. >_<
