How to Grind the Skullmasher ?:
You can use the Grinder to create the Skullmasher in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel. While there is no guaranteed recipe, you can combine 2 Legendary weapons and 1 Purple Sniper to obtain a random legendary Sniper. Be sure to make it a Luneshine grind for a “guaranteed” legendary and also get a chance of getting a Luneshine buff.
Notes:
- Since this fires six pellets instead of one bullet, it can achieve multiple critical hits in one shot. This is useful for obtaining the Melon Splitter challenge faster.
