Like any Borderlands game – it’s all about the loot, and the Legendary Weapons are the cream of the crop. Borderlands 3 features countless different Legendary Weapons that go above and beyond normal weapons with new styles, skins, and hidden effects.
Legendary guns can be found in slot machines, defeating certain bosses or baddies around the map. Or if you’re lucky, in loot chests scattered across the various Borderlands 3 planets. Legendary guns come with all the quirks and perks that we love so much from the different weapon manufacturers, plus some shiny red text and sometimes a unique firing mode. The Mouthpiece boss you face early on gives you an idea of what to expect, dropping an automatic pistol that shoots dubstep beats and can be cooled by shooting it with a water pistol. They’re crazy cool guns, essentially.
Note that Legendary Weapons and Items can be found at different levels, and the weapon damage will scale to your currently level on finding it, but other effects remain the same.
Borderlands 3 The Transformer
- Recharge Delay: 4.8
- Recharge Rate: 1,285
- Grants 100% Shock Resistance
- Coverts 100% of Shock Damage into shields
- 40% chance to absorb bullets, adding to your ammo count

This shield has a roundabout way of saying there’s more than meets your eye, and for good reason – The Transformer boasts total shock immunity, and will instead power your shields, as well absorbing some bullets into your own ammo.
