The Lead Balloon Legendary Shotgun is a Torgue gun that turns every shot into a mini firework show in Borderlands 4. It’s perfect for taking out multiple enemies at once. In this guide, we will show you the easiest way to fight Splashzone and increase your chances of getting this weapon.
How To Get the Lead Balloon Legendary Shotgun
The Lead Balloon shotgun can drop from Splashzone when you defeat him in Riptide Grotto, located in the Coastal Bonescape area of The Fadefields.
Splashzone has a flesh health bar, so Incendiary weapons work best. If you don’t have them, Kinetic, Cryo, or Radiation weapons will also be useful. Avoid Shock and Corrosive weapons they do not deal much damage to flesh. Splashzone likes to charge at you and hit you with melee attacks. The best way to stay safe is to run around the arena. Watch out for other enemies and make sure you don’t fall off the edges. Shoot the explosive barrels in the arena to deal extra damage. They’re great for taking out smaller enemies quickly or giving Splashzone damage.
If it doesn’t drop the first time, don’t worry, you can use Moxxi’s Big Encore just outside the boss arena to make Splashzone appear again. Keep in mind, the Encore costs cash, and the price goes up as you level.
Lead Balloon Legendary Shotgun in Borderlands 4
The Lead Balloon is a Torgue shotgun that uses 2 bullets per shot and comes with explosive damage on every trigger pull. It fires like a firework when you shoot. The explosive pellets float upward, then fall back down onto enemies. Each explosion also spawns additional projectiles, making it perfect for hitting multiple targets at once.
