Borderlands 3 Farmable Bosses and Their Legendary Drop Guide

MentalMars 9 Comments

Bosses and Loot Pools

Like in previous Borderlands games, the Bosses in Borderlands 3 also have a unique legendary item assigned to them. Since Bosses respawn, they are farmable. The great thing about Borderlands 3 is that there is a checkpoint before each boss. This makes farming bosses less tedious as you can spawn just outside their doorstep when you want to defeat that boss again. Just simply go in the menu, save&quit, and hop back into the game. That checkpoint will now function as a spawn point. So you don’t have to run through entire dungeons anymore in order to farm bosses.

Change Log

  • Lootpool Update July 23, 2020
    • With the July 23, 2020 Patch, GBX spread the legendary loot pool and assigned items to other enemies/bosses.
    • Added Slaughter Domes, Proving Grounds, and more Named Enemies info to the list.
  • Added Mayhem Level 6 Items
  • Added Mayhem Level 4 Items
  • Lootpool Update November 21, 2019
    • Due to community feedback Gearbox Software assigned more legendary items to Bosses and Named Enemies. Before the update, these items could only be randomly obtained through world drops.
