Psycho Stabber is a legendary pistol in Borderlands 3 manufactured by COV. It can only be obtained from Borman Nates in the Meridian Outskirts on Promethea.

Special Weapon Effects[]

Fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa fa fa... – +340% melee damage and fixed melee accessory. Fires knives that have a parabolic trajectory.

Usage & Description[]

The Psycho Stabber is the bread and butter of any melee build that isn't using the Face-puncher. It provides the highest melee damage bonus of any weapon in the game. It is especially effective with Amara's Phaseflare, vastly improving the skill.

As a gun, it is an ineffective option with its weak damage and limited projectile range.

Notes[]

  • The +340% melee damage comes from two separate melee accessories which grant +300% and +40% melee damage.
  • Due to boosting melee damage, Psycho Stabber can greatly enhance damage from the Fish Slap grenade mod and the Stinger shield's nova.

Trivia[]

  • The source, name, and special effect of the weapon are a reference to the 1960 film Psycho.
  • The flavor text is a reference to the song Psycho Killer by Talking Heads.
