About the Scourge:
The Scourge is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This Torgue Rocket Launcher fires a slow-moving rocket that continuously spawns smaller rockets that swirl around the main projectile. After a little while, these child rockets will home in on enemy targets. The Scourge is great for taking on bosses and will do a decent job at mobs.
Special Weapon Effect:
“Or am I?”
- Fires a slow-moving rocket that continuously spawns smaller rockets that swirl around the main projectile before homing in on enemies.
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.
How do you get the Scourge in Borderlands 3?
The Scourge can randomly be obtained as a random world drop from any suitable loot source. But you have a 10% chance by farming Brood Mother who is located at The Pyre of Stars on Nekrotafeyo. On top of that, you can also farm Alicritous Vanda who is a named enemy in the Cistern of Slaughter for the Scourge.
Notes:
- The Scourge occasionally appears in Maurice’s Black Market.
- If the initial rocket passes through Zane’s Barrier, all of the child rockets will have the damage amp.
- Zane’s ‘Playing Dirty‘ skill can spawn double the amount of child projectiles and cause massive damage.
