**Jelly**, a legendary grenade in *Borderlands 4*, creates duplicates with every bounce. While chaotic in tight spaces, it excels at crowding-control when mastered. Securing and understanding this explosive early can boost your gameplay significantly.
Farming the Jelly Grenade
- Source: **Splash Zone**, a boss in Riptide Grotto.
- Farm Method: After unlocking Splash Zone, use the **Moxxi Encore** machine for rapid respawns instead of save-quitting. Costs scale with level, but runs remain quick.
- Drop Rate: Reportedly low, but fast repeated attempts offset this.
Jelly Grenade Mechanics
Its red text, “short for jellifer,” hints at its **Ripper** part, enabling grenade teleportation à la *Longbow*.
Key Traits:
- **Replicating Effect**: Duplicates spawn on bounce, scattering damage across the area.
- Cooldown: 7 seconds (at level 50).
- Scales with level for damage/radius.
- Random element: Corrosive, Fire, Cryo, or non-elemental.
- Random passive perk (e.g., cooldown reduction).
Optimal Usage Strategies
- Excels in close-quarters combat where grenades bounce frequently.
- Ideal for early-game crowd control and grenade-focused builds.
- **Caution**: Duplicates can rebound and harm you—use cover and aim carefully.
- Even non-grenade builds benefit early on before better gear arrives.
