How to GET OPPRESSOR in Borderlands 4
What's up, vault hunters! Today, we're diving into how to GET OPPRESSOR in Borderlands 4 and loot his legendary weapon and item, another awesome early-game boss similar to Borderlands 2's Savage Lee. You'll encounter this guy within your first few hours of gameplay, though he can be pretty annoying to fight since he flies around constantly.
Let me show you the exact location and strategy to farm him effectively.
Best Route to GET OPPRESSOR Quickly
To GET OPPRESSOR in Borderlands 4, you'll want to trigger this specific spot on the map first. Then drive over and go through this building into the main arena area. I've hidden all my map icons to make it easier for you to see exactly where to start. We're heading over to the Dissected Plateau area to find this boss.
Along the way, you don't need to fight any enemies unless you're early game and want the XP bonuses. Here's a cool shortcut: if you grab those grapple points, you can fly through areas much faster. For the first time, you'll need to pull a lever and cover yourself in blood to access the pathway, but after that initial run, you can farm directly from a nearby spawn point.
GET OPPRESSOR in Borderlands 4: Battle Strategy and Weaknesses
The Oppressor is a flying enemy with specific weaknesses:
Week to shock damage
Vulnerable to corrosive damage
Use weapons with these elements for maximum effectiveness
When he first spawns, don't waste your ammo shooting immediately. He'll dodge around and drop annoying projectiles - just be patient and wait for him to engage properly. Sometimes he gets stuck over the arena roof, which can be frustrating, but just keep moving and avoid his attack patterns.
OPPRESSOR Legendary Loot Drops
The Oppressor has three fantastic legendary drops worth farming:

GET OPPRESSOR in Borderlands 4: Farming Tips and Recommendations
From my testing, the Asher Rise is absolutely worth farming - it melts enemies with critical hits and status effects. The Blood Analyzer is also fantastic for survivability, especially in tougher content. The Sun Streamer has its moments but feels a bit situational compared to other heavy weapons.
Remember to use shock and corrosive weapons against the Oppressor, and be patient with his flying patterns. The farm might take some time, but these legendaries are definitely worth the effort for both early and late-game content!
Happy hunting, and let me know in the comments which of these drops you're most excited to get!
