How to Get Hellfire Weapon in Borderlands 4?
Hey vault hunters! Welcome back to another legendary weapon guide where I'll show you exactly how to get Hellfire Weapon in Borderlands 4. This awesome SMG makes a triumphant return from previous games with absolutely insane fire damage potential! Let's dive into where to find it and how it performs.
To get Hellfire Weapon in Borderlands 4, you'll need to head to the Terminus Range area on the right side of your map. The fastest route is traveling to Heritage Opus, which puts you close to the boss location. The enemy you're looking for is called Sky Spinner Crouch - a flying boss that can be tricky depending on your build but definitely worth the effort!
Finding the Boss Location
The journey to get Hellfire Weapon in Borderlands 4 involves navigating through some hidden mines. Here's the easiest way to reach the boss:
Look for the mine entrance near Heritage Opus
Use ping markers to help navigate the tunnel system
Follow the single-path rooms through the mines
Watch out for crotch enemies along the way (they hint at what's coming!)
Don't fall into any holes - they'll instantly kill you!
When you reach the boss area, look up and you'll see the wedding out platform. The boss is a flying enemy that summons minions and attacks with damage balloons that you need to shoot down. He hits pretty hard, but if you focus on taking out his drones first, the fight becomes much more manageable.
