About the Sledge’s Shotgun:
The Sledge’s Shotgun is a Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 3. This Jakobs Shotgun deals massive damage at close range because the damage is great but the accuracy is terrible. While the fire rate isn’t very fast it does have a big magazine size so you don’t have to reload as much. Sledge’s Shotgun is great for close combat. If you like to run/slide towards your enemies and blow up their faces at point-blank than this is the weapon for you.
Elements:
None.
Special Weapon Effect:
“The legend (still) lives”
- Fires a 2-round burst.

- The weapon’s flavor text references its return through multiple games.
