Shockwave is the title of a group of common shotguns in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Maliwan. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.

Usage & Description[]

The Shockwave must be fully charged in order to fire. Once it has been charged, it releases a large pulse of energy upon releasing the trigger that damages enemies in the area, with a high chance of making the enemy ragdoll. This pulse travels a limited distance before disappearing, making the Shockwave effectively useless at any range beyond medium.

Notable Variants[]

  • Kill-o'-the-Wisp - Legendary shock shotgun that fires a slow-moving lightning ball that damaging enemies nearby. Consumes 4 ammo per shot.
  • Mind-Killer - Legendary non-elemental shotgun that fires an amplifier bars styled energy pulse. Pulse projectiles form a "⊙" pattern when hip-firing, or a "+" pattern when aiming down sights.
