How to obtain The Bod Legendary Shotgun in Borderlands 4.

A true Borderlands experience wouldn’t be complete without ridiculously overpowered Legendary weapons that are tough to obtain. The Bod Shotgun ranks among the top-tier arms, offering colossal damage output, perfect synergy with character builds, and an edge in challenging skirmishes. Let’s dive into securing this powerhouse.

The location of the Axemaul boss.

Obtaining The Bod requires defeating Axemaul, a boss found in Kairos’ Dominion zone, as a potential random loot drop. Accessing this area mandates finishing primary questlines in three preceding regions—a journey that might span 20+ hours based on playstyle.

After unlocking Dominion, navigate to the Abandoned Auger Mine via the Final Defiance Fast Travel Point. Descend the plaza ramp, turn left along the wall, and locate a secondary breach leading to the mine’s entrance.

Within the mine’s depths, follow northern tunnels to a cavern housing a massive drill. Utilize grapple mechanics on the Phase portal opposite, then platform across elevated pathways to reach Axemaul’s arena.

Each successful boss takedown offers a chance for The Bod to appear. Prepare for extensive farming—some unlucky vault hunters report dozens of attempts before securing this prize.

The Axemaul boss encounter.

Axemaul rarely drops The Bod—personally, I looted 15 other Legendaries before finding one. Hopefully, your farming efforts prove more fruitful. Ensure character levels align with UVHM Tier 1’s ~40 difficulty curve for optimal efficiency.

The Bod’s combat advantages

This weapon’s All-Rounder trait makes it simultaneously count as five firearm types, amplifying all related skill bonuses. Combined with adaptable firing modes and deep ammo reserves, it becomes an endlessly versatile demolition tool.

For maximum effectiveness, delay farming until reaching level 50. Repeated high-level executions of Axemaul prove less tedious than mid-game grinding for upgraded versions.
