Messy Breakup is a legendary shield in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Anshin. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from GenIVIV located in Voracious Canopy on Eden-6.
Special Weapon Effects
It's complicated. – Spawns a small drone that fires at enemies. Spawns a medic drone when depleted. Chance to reflect projectiles when shielded. 15% chance to absorb bullets. Unique voice module.
Usage & Description
Messy Breakup is a shield mixing defensive capability with some limited offensive application thanks to its bullet deflection percentage. By dropping to a crouch, anyone wearing the Messy Breakup will project a defensive force screen in front of them that adds a further 20% damage reduction from attacks that penetrate the screen to strike the shield's wearer. The screen will remain in front of the wearer at all times as long as the crouch is maintained, and can be broken by damage enough to deplete the shield, by standing or jumping, or by being struck by an attack that breaks the crouching stance. As the screen is forward facing and only maintained in a crouch, the Messy Breakup is well suited to remaining on the edge of a firefight to keep enemies largely in one direction when crouched.
Notes
- The screen is projected well forward of the wearer and attacks that strike it will deplete the shield charge, even when the wearer is safely crouched behind cover while the shield is projected through into the line of fire.
- The Messy Breakup shield has synergy with Moze's Redistribution skill as shots from the drone can trigger the skill.
- The fire rate of both drones drastically increases when the shield is depleted.
