Monocle is a legendary sniper rifle in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Jakobs. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Demoskaggon located in The Droughts on Pandora.

Special Weapon Effects[]

One is enough.

  • +15% weapon damage. -75% spread. -50% recoil height.
  • Fixed 14.6x scope. ×3.5 critical damage when aiming down sights.

Usage & Description[]

The Monocle is designed to be used as a long-range precision weapon, as its extremely high zoom makes it difficult to use otherwise. Its zoomed-in critical boost makes it excellent for this purpose, although non-critical hits are penalized by its low damage. It also cannot be used for hip-firing as it does not gain a crit boost while unscoped.

Notes[]

  • FL4K's Fade Away synergizes worse with this weapon than what might be expected: Although "Critical!" pops up on any Fade Away hit, the damage bonus of the weapon is only applied when striking the actual critical spot.
  • A patch on August 20, 2020 increased the Monocle's base damage.
