About the Cocky Bastard:

  • Critical Hits deal additional shock damage
  • Critical Hits ricochet 1 projectile

How to get the Cocky Bastard?:

The Cocky Bastard can randomly be obtained from any suitable loot source in the Guns, Love, and Tentacles DLC but has a 15% chance to drop from Eista. You can farm it in Skittermaw Basin located on Xylourgos.

Trivia:

  • The red flavor text could be a quote from Han Solo in Star Wars as the name of the gun is also a reference to this quote.
  • The name could also be a reference to the book “Strange Fascination: David Bowie: The Definitive Story”, where he describes himself as a ‘cocky little bastard’.
