Festering Goliaths are a corrosive variant of Goliaths in Borderlands 3. They are first encountered at Ambermire on Eden-6.

Appearances

Strategy

Festering Goliaths act like normal Goliaths while not enraged. When enraged, they have two unique attacks:

Vomit - They will rear back and charge up before throwing up corrosive vomit.
Fart - The Goliath will fart, causing a cloud of corrosive damage to hang about in the area for a while.

Notes

In Mayhem Mode, they are renamed to Putrid Goliath.
- When enraged, they will become Raging Putrid Goliath.
In Arms Race Mode, they are renamed to Rival Festering Goliath.
- When enraged, they will become Raging Rival Festering Goliath.
