The Luty Madlad Legendary SMG is a powerful weapon with the “Homemade Ingenuity” effect in Borderlands 4. It overheats quickly but also cools down fast, and it always comes with a CoV-licensed magazine. To get it, you need to defeat the boss Mimicron. In this guide, we will explain how to defeat the Mimicron and get the Luty Madlad Legendary SMG in Borderlands 4.
How to Get Luty Madlad Legendary SMG
Defeating Mimicron will reward you with Luty Madlad (Homemade Ingenuity – Overheats quickly, but also cools down quickly. Guaranteed to have a CoV-licensed magazine.).
You will find Mimicron in the Tipping Point Order Bunker in Idolator’s Noose. The Tipping Point bunker in Idolator’s Noose, Fadefields, can be a bit confusing at first, but opening the door is actually straightforward. Stand with your back to the door and go right to find a giant fan.
Go inside the fan, take another right, and climb the ladder to reach a Locust station. Drop down through the hole in the floor and throw the Locust at the door to unlock it. Inside the bunker, you will need to open a few more doors by finding buttons and batteries, which are all in the same room. At the end, you face the boss Mimicron.
How to Defeat the Mimicron
Mimicron is a stealthy Order bot that relies on melee attacks and ambush tactics. It remains invisible when not directly attacking, so you will need to watch for movement or damage numbers from elemental effects to spot it. The bot uses close-range spear strikes, so it’s important to keep your distance. Dash sideways to avoid its leaping attacks and stay mobile to avoid getting cornered.
During the fight, Mimicron will periodically spawn shielded clones. These clones can distract and overwhelm you, so take them out quickly while keeping track of the main boss. Mimicron has two health bars. The first is Shield, which is best dealt with using Shock weapons, and the second is Armor. Explosive and area-of-effect attacks are especially helpful, as they can reveal Mimicron’s position and hit both the boss and its clones. For maximum damage, aim for Mimicron’s head.
