Handsome Jackhammer is a legendary submachine gun in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Hyperion.
It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Handsome Jackie located in Skywell-27 on Promethea.

Special Weapon Effects[]

Everyone thinks they are the hero of their own story. – When reloaded, the gun is thrown like a Tediore weapon and bounces 5 times on the spot it landed, spraying bullets until the magazine is empty while releasing an explosion every time it bounces. Unique voice module that plays audio from Handsome Jack.

Usage & Description[]

While it has all the traits of a Hyperion weapon, the Handsome Jackhammer's Tediore-based reload throw gives it significantly more utility, essentially combining the traits of both manufacturers. As a Hyperion weapon, it does not suffer from inferior stats like a Tediore, allowing it to function both as an effective conventional weapon and a powerful area-of-effect pseudo grenade that can quickly cover the battlefield in explosions.

While it may be an effective grenade replacement, the unpredictable bounces of the Handsome Jackhammer can also be the user's downfall, as the combined power of several bounces can easily send the user into Fight For Your Life.

When thrown[]

  • "Ahahahaha, oh man."
  • "I'm boooounciiiing!!"
  • "Jackhoooooole~!"

Notes[]

  • The reload-throw behaves in the same way as Tediore weapons with its damage scaling up with the number of bullets left in the magazine.
  • If the Handsome Jackhammer has an elemental capacitor, its bounce explosions will be in the same element.
