This explosive Jakobs-made sidearm in Borderlands 4 remains a fan-favorite despite recent balancing changes. While its infamous damage multiplication exploit has been patched out, the San Saba Songbird still offers formidable combat capabilities for savvy vault hunters willing to pursue it.

Acquiring the Coveted Sidearm

Vault hunters can claim this powerful weapon by defeating Rocken Roller, a formidable boss dwelling in Carcadia Burn’s Sumplands region. Access to the Trinket Crevass Mine battleground unlocks after completing the Shadow of the Mountain story mission. Combat strategies for this encounter include:

• Prioritizing sustained damage output to counter rapid health regeneration
• Targeting crystalline weak points to disable protective shielding
• Utilizing incendiary weaponry to apply damage-over-time effects

The weapon features a rare drop rate, requiring multiple attempts against Rocken Roller. Persistence proves essential for collectors seeking this prized armament.

Historical Exploit Overview

This dueling pistol’s unique mechanic temporarily doubles damage output following weapon swaps. A previously discovered bug allowed this enhancement to stack infinitely through rapid equipment cycling, enabling absurd damage values that trivialized endgame content. Developers have since implemented corrective measures, though some players attempt access through deprecated game versions – a practice strongly discouraged due to stability risks.
