Borderlands 4 features several strong weapons that you can make use of during your time as a Vault Hunter. One category that is really popular among players is the Shotgun category. There are several shotguns in the game, but one that really stands out is the Lead Balloon Shotgun.
A deadly shotgun with a special buff that allows you to eliminate powerful enemies with the help of its projectile attacks. The Lead Balloon legendary is dropped by a certain boss in the game as you will know down below. Make sure to play the story until you can see Splashzone.
How to Get Lead Balloon Legendary Shotgun in BL4
You can get this weapon as a drop from Splashzone. Keep progressing through the main storyline until you unlock the entire southern part of The Fadefields.
Use the Fast Travel station in Coastal Bonescape to arrive at the Riptide Grotto point of interest. Now that you are here, clear all the enemies here and reach the end to find Splashzone.
Now, kill him and respawn him from the Moxxi’s Big Encore Machine, and eventually, you will get the Lead Balloon Shotgun as a drop.
The main key to defeating the Splashzone is dodging its attacks. I suggest you take items with Cryo and Corrosion elemental damage to assist you in the fight.
The Lead Balloon Legendary Shotgun comes with the Lightweight special perk, which shoots grenade-like shells that explode and spawn three smaller grenades. Let’s take a look at its stats at level 50:
- Damage: 1153 x 3 (per bullet)
- Accuracy: 73%
- Reload Time: 1.6 seconds
- Fire rate: 2.1/second
- Magazine Size: 8
And that’s how you get the Lead Balloon Shotgun in Borderlands 4.
