The HellFire is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands the Pre-Sequel. This Maliwan SMG’s true strength lies in the elemental damage. The combination of the HellFire’s high fire rate, chance to ignite, and burn damage per second makes it a devastating weapon by dealing damage over time.

How to get the HellFire ?:
- Borderlands 2

How to Grind the HellFire ?:
You can use the Grinder to create the HellFire in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel.

Be sure to make it a Luneshine grind for a “guaranteed” legendary and also get a chance of getting a Luneshine buff.
Notes:
-
- The burning status effect will occasionally only inflict a single point of damage per tick.
- The HellFire’s damage is boosted by grenade damage bonuses.
