Drop Guide
The Bessie has a chance to drop from Badass Desperadoes. Like all pearlescents, the Bessie can also be dropped from Crawmerax and found in Crimson Lance weapon chests.

Usage & Description
The Bessie is the most powerful sniper rifle on all of Pandora. However, in true Jakobs fashion, power is valued over everything else and fire rate and magazine size suffer greatly. The Bessie has no spread when scoped in, and only misses it's mark due to user error. Thus, it lends itself to be most effective in combat by making less-frequent, but well-aimed shots, destroying the high priority targets (specifically badass enemies) before they can get within range of the Vault Hunters.

Trivia

 * The name is a reference to Davy Crockett's muzzle-loading flintlock rifle, "Ol' Bessie".
 * If the player were to initiate reloading and pause when the new rounds are being loaded into the cylinder, they would see the number "357" on the back, possibly implying that the gun shoots .357 caliber rounds.
