How to Farm the Hellwalker in Borderlands 4
To begin farming the Hellwalker shotgun in BL4, you’ll need to progress past the early game and unlock Terminus Range. Here’s the step-by-step process:
-
Defeat Idolator Sol in the Rush the Gate mission to gain access to Terminus Range.
-
Travel to the southern point of Cuspid Climb.
-
Enter the Drill Site and fight through waves of enemies until the Meathead Riders spawn.
-
Defeat them and check their loot for the Hellwalker drop.
-
If it doesn’t drop, activate Moxxi’s Encore machine and rerun the Drill Site.
Farming Tips:
- Sell extra loot to cover the Encore machine costs.
- Farm on lower difficulties (not Ultimate Vault Hunter) to make runs faster.
- If you’re running the Vex Infinite Damage build, the difficulty won’t matter since you’ll shred enemies anyway.
While the Meathead Riders are the confirmed drop source, some players suggest the Hellwalker might also drop from Rift Bosses — but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.
Hellwalker Legendary Shotgun: Unique Effects
The Hellwalker BL4 is a Jakobs shotgun that reloads quickly and dishes out devastating damage despite only holding two shells at a time. It’s locked to fire elemental damage, making it perfect for fleshy enemies but less effective against armored or mechanical foes.
Legendary Unique Effect – Soothslayer
- Every time you equip or fire the Hellwalker, it plays a heavy guitar riff, adding some rock flair to your gameplay.
- It fires a pentagram spread pattern, giving it a unique visual effect (though it’s hard to notice in close combat).
- Features an incredibly fast reload speed, letting you stay aggressive in close-range fights.
Jakobs Trait
- Critical Hits ricochet to nearby enemies, doubling down on its crowd-control potential.
- Headshots not only deal massive damage but can also take down multiple enemies at once.
Hellwalker BL4 Stats (Level 50)
- Damage: 1,026 x10
- Accuracy: 53%
- Reload Time: 1.0s
- Fire Rate: 2.0s
- Magazine Size: 2
The Hellwalker does not feature an alternate firing mode. What you get is straightforward: raw damage, fast reloads, and satisfying carnage.
Farming the Hellwalker in Borderlands 4 may take some persistence, but it’s one of the most rewarding shotguns in the game. Its mix of raw Jakobs power, flashy effects, and musical flair make it a must-have for shotgun fans.
Whether you’re farming it through the Drill Site in Cuspid Climb or hoping for a lucky drop, the Hellwalker BL4 will not disappoint.
