The Maliwan Blacksite scaling event is now available in Borderlands 3, making it easier for players to beat the event and farm the exclusive loot that drops from bosses such as the Valkyrie Squad and Wotan the Invincible. The exclusive loot that drops from these bosses has proven to be quite useful for other events outside of the Maliwan Blacksite, such as Circles of Slaughter or general boss slaying on Mayhem 4.
Starting the list is the Zane exclusive Antifreeze class mod. This class mod can drop only on Mayhem 4 from any boss in the Maliwan Blacksite. The Antifreeze allows for constant movement, damage buffs while sliding, increase in movement speed even while Zane is frozen. The bonus damage that this class mod generates makes it a worthwhile item to farm in Borderlands 3, as the increase in damage is substantial.
Next up is the Tiggs' Boom Torgue shotgun, which shoots meteors at the enemy. Although the meteors can be a bit wonky in terms of placement, the Tiggs' Boom has pretty solid base damage so when the meteors kick in, it makes watching enemies melt become all the sweeter. The Tiggs' Boom can drop from any suitable loot source but players can farm the legendary from Wotan the Invincible.
For the players that don't want to play on any Mayhem difficulty levels, they are in luck as the next item does not force the player to play on Mayhem in order to drop. The Moonfire is a Torgue pistol that randomly has amp shots that deal increased damage. The base explosive damage is good, but when the amp shot kicks in, the gun goes from good to fantastic as players watch enemies melt, especially when landing those critical hits.
The first Maliwan item on the list is the Kyb's Worth. The Kyb's Worth, much like the Moonfire, will drop on any difficulty from Wotan the Invincible so Mayhem is not required. This gun's effect references the Warlock healing rift from Destiny, as killing an enemy every ten seconds will spawn a circular rift that the player can stand in and get some really good healing. The Kyb's Worth offers high damage output and can switch between two elements since it is a Maliwan SMG.
Lastly on the list, during the Maliwan scaling event players should go out and try to get the legendary Redistributor. The gun can be obtained from Wotan the Invincible and the Valkyrie Squad in the Maliwan Takedown on any difficulty. The Redistributor was a campaign exclusive shock element weapon but has been reintroduced as a legendary that can drop in all elements. The high potential killing power due to the extra amp shot makes the weapon highly sought after especially now that it is even easier to obtain at the moment. An anointed variant of any of these items on the list will be preferable for maximum efficiency.
Borderlands 3 is out now for PS4, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC.
