A fan-adored incendiary weapon returns in Ripper‘s arsenal: the legendary Hellfire SMG now scorches enemies in Borderlands 4 with upgraded DOT capabilities. Discover actionable steps to acquire this blazing firearm below.

Veteran vault hunters should prioritize activating the Heritage Opus Safe House to enable swift access to Terminus Range. Within this volcanic region, relentless farming of Skyspanner Kratch becomes mandatory for weapon acquisition.

When navigating the mining complex, bypass non-essential combat encounters to conserve resources. A critical traversal tip: utilize your grappling gear to ascend over a lethal chasm rather than descending into instant-death territory. This vertical approach leads directly to the adversary’s lair.

Post-initial battle completion unlocks the Encore Machine, but Skyspanner Kratch remains challenging. The mechanized foe deploys swarms of shield-draining drones requiring systematic elimination. Maintain aerial mobility during combat to avoid ground-based hazards while whittling down its armor.

Upon victory, utilize the violet warp sphere for exit. While multiple attempts might be necessary, securing the Hellfire SMG delivers exceptional payoff. This hybrid weapon functions as a semi-auto charger before transitioning to full-auto devastation, with unparalleled effectiveness against organic targets unprotected by shields. Its thermite-based ammunition solidifies its status as a top-tier armament choice.
