The Bee is a Legendary Hyperion Amplifier Shield in Borderlands 2.

Special Weapon Effects

Float like a butterfly... - Large amount of Amp shot damage, 0 Amp Shot Drain.

Usage & Description

The Bee, while having low shield capacity, gives extraordinary amp damage with zero shield drain per shot. Thus effectively providing endless amp damage until the user takes damage from an outside source. Because The Bee applies the amp damage bonus to every shot, it can be best exploited in conjunction with high rate of fire weapons or weapons that fire multiple projectiles.

Drop Guide

  • The Bee is an uncommon drop from Hunter Hellquist or an extremely rare drop from other strong enemies or chests. He can be farmed after completing the sidequest This Just In!.

Notes

  • The Bee can be extremely powerful. Amp damage affects every round, including every pellet in weapons like shotguns. For example, using Maggie, total damage roughly comes to (50k amp + 5k pellet x 6 pellets) x 10, resulting in 1,650,000 damage per second.

Trivia

  • The weapon's flavor text is a reference to Muhammad Ali, who described his fighting style as "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
