Borderlands 4 has to be one of the best looter-shooters right now, and part of the thrill is chasing down powerful weapons. One standout is the Phantom Flame Legendary weapon from Jakobs, which absolutely shreds enemies when you empty an entire magazine while aiming down sights.
If this weapon has caught your eye, here’s how you can get your hands on it.
Where Can You Find the Phantom Flame Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 4?
Flame Legendary weapon is a drop you can get while exploring around the world, Kairos in Borderlands 4. To get the weapon, you’ll have to defeat the boss named Pango Bango, who can be found below the Tendercage on Ripper Drill Site.
If you don’t know where that is, open your map and zoom into the Lopside region. On the top right section of the map, you’ll find a drill icon (Ripper Drill Site). Go to the location, then enter the large skull, and continue moving towards the large cave.
This place is actually a boss arena, so start fighting the enemies inside as soon as possible. After a short duration, you’ll be attacked by Pango and Bango, who have their separate health bars. The boss fight is pretty challenging because you’ll get flanked by Rippers all the time.
One of the most effective ways to defeat the boss is by constantly damaging either Pango or Bango. One defeating one, you’ll have only one goal, and that is to defeat the last alien lizard standing. Chances are, you might have to farm this boss fight because getting this Legendary weapon is a bit challenging.
There are also instances where some Borderlands 4 players have reported finding the Phantom Flame in Splashzone. However, if you want to secure the Legendary weapon with full certainty, your best bet is to farm the specific boss tied to its drop. Farming increases your chances significantly compared to relying on random world drops. If you don’t know how to farm, you can do so by replaying it from Moxxi’s Encore.
What Stats and Special Effects Do You Get With the Phantom Flame Legendary Weapon in Borderlands 4?
The Phantom Flame Legendary pistol from Jacobs is certainly amazing and has some great bonuses in Borderlands 4. The weapon deals Incendiary damage and scales with your level. Here’s the base stat you get for the pistol:
While the 58 Percent accuracy stat may push you away, that shouldn’t be the case, thanks to its passive bonuses. When aiming down sight or zooming in, the weapon locks on target over time. So if you fire after staying in this state, the weapon unleashes its full magazine without accurate aiming.
Additionally, the bullets also ricochet if you end up critically damaging your locked-on enemy. Thus, it deals additional damage to enemies who are nearby.
That was everything you needed to know about acquiring Phantom Flame Legendary in Borderlands 4. Will you grind to get the weapon, or have something else in mind? Share with us in the comments below.
