About the Mongol:
The Mongol is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This Vladof Rocket Launcher shoots out a rocket that will shoot multiple rockets in its flight path. I think the Mongol is pretty good, however, with the current meta, it seems to be underwhelming since there are some very powerful weapons in the game. Give it a try and let me know what you think by leaving your opinion in the comments down below.
Elements:
Physical Damage is useful against everything. It has no special properties but also does not suffer weaknesses.
Fire damage is strong against Flesh and can cause targets to burn. Burning deals high damage over a 5-second duration.
Corrosive damage is strong against Armor and causes targets to melt. Melting deals high damage over a 7-second duration.
Shock damage is strong against Shields and causes targets to be electrocuted. Electrocution deals very high damage over a 3-second duration.
Cryo damage slows enemies and eventually freezing them. Cryo efficiency is the percentage of damage dealt that is applied as Cryo, at 100% efficiency, enemies will freeze at 20% health. Frozen enemies are unable to move and take 3x Melee damage
Radiation damage can cause targets to become Irradiated. Irradiated enemies deal Aura Damage to nearby enemies for 8 seconds. If an Irradiated enemy dies, they explode, Irradiating any enemies damaged by the explosion.
Special Weapon Effect:
“Man is a horde animal.”
- Consumes 2 ammo per shot
- The main projectile shoots multiple smaller rockets at random angles along its flight path. The smaller projectiles have an arching trajectory.
- Increased Splash Damage Radius

Notes:
The Mongol has finally been added to the game with the May 14, 2020 hotfix. While it was already in the game at launch you were not able to obtain it due to a bug. Now you can finally start farming for it. If you are wondering if the Mongol is worth farming for. I would say definitely pick it up. While the Mongol is not the “NEW” most powerful weapon it is fun to use and it will do a good amount of damage.
- The Mongol occasionally appears in Maurice’s Black Market.
Changelog:
- Hotfix Aug 6, 2020 – Increased weapon damage ~+10% dmg
Trivia:
- The Mongol is a returning weapon from Borderlands and Borderlands 2.
