About the Damned:
The Damned is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This is a Vladof Assault Rifle with a Hyperion Shield that reflects bullets. Therefore you don’t have any underbarrel attachments that usually come with Vladof weapons. The Damned is a solid assault rifle, it has a decent magazine size but the reload feels a bit slow. It didn’t perform great on the higher Mayhem difficulties but recently received a buff that made it more viable.
Elements:
None, Fire, Corrosive, Shock, Cryo, and Radiation.
Special Weapon Effect:
“Well, I’ll be…”
- Replaces the Alternative Fire mode with a reflective shield that activates upon aiming down sights.
- No movement speed penalty when aiming down sights.
How to get the Damned?:
The Damned can randomly be obtained from any loot source but has a high chance of dropping from Agonizer 9000 who is located in the Guts of Carnivora on Pandora.
Drop Rate:
The Drop Rate of the Damned is 5.7% on Mayhem 6+; 7.5% on Mayhem 4 and 5; 10% Otherwise
