About the Brainstormer:

The Brainstormer is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This Hyperion Shotgun always has the shock element. It fires 7 projectiles in a lightning bolt pattern. The Brainstormer is great for mobbing and stripping shields. This is because of its legendary effect as it can create a chain lightning shock between enemies that are in close proximity to each other.

Elements:

Shock

Special Weapon Effect:

โ€œLet’s put our heads together.โ€

  • Alwaysย shock.
  • Fires 7 projectiles in a lightning bolt pattern.
  • Hitting an enemy has a chance to cause powerful shock bolts chaining from the target hit to nearby enemies.

How to get the Brainstormer?:

The Brainstormer can be randomly obtained from any loot source but it has a high chance of dropping from Katagawa Ball who is located in Skywell-27 on Promethea. It’s the boss at the end of the Space-Laser Tag story mission.

Drop Rate:

The Drop Rate of the Brainstormer is 13.5% on Mayhem 6+; 30% Otherwise

Notes:

  • Although the bolts’ way of dealing damage may look similar to aย Status effect, only gun damage modifiers are applied, not status effect modifiers. Thus,ย Amara’sย Animaย skill cannot increase the duration of this effect.
  • A Brainstormer with theย Redundant prefix (fires 14 pellets and consumes 2 ammo per shot) has an increased chance of causing more bolts. However, a cash infused Brainstromer with a bonus element creates about the same number of chains as a Redundant.
  • Bonus elemental damage from shields, grenade mods, or skills like Amara’sย Infusionย andย Forceful Expression, also increase the chance of causing more bolts.
  • If no enemies are nearby, no shock bolts will occur, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the weapon.
  • The Brainstormer and its chains are entirely unaffected by splash and AoE boosts.

Changelog:

Trivia:

  • The term “let’s put our heads together” is a term to pool ideas and work together. The name of the gun furthers this as toย brainstorm is to come up with new ideas.
  • The spread of the pellets is shaped like a lightning symbol
