For the unique shotgun in Borderlands 2, see Tidal Wave.

The Tidal Wave is a legendary shotgun in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Jakobs. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.

Special Weapon Effects

Flee the wave, dude – Fires 2 rows of 8 slow moving projectiles in a wave pattern that ricochets off of surfaces for 5 seconds then dissipates if it does not hit an enemy.

Usage & Description

The weapon is only suitable for pointblank-range combat due to the extreme horizontal spread and slow speed of the projectiles.

Notes

The weapon shares its special effect with T.K's Wave but differs in the number of projectiles fired.
The weapon can sometimes be found as a blue rarity shotgun. This isn't permanent as the weapon's legendary rarity is restored by quitting to the main menu and reloading the character.

Trivia

The Tidal Wave is a returning weapon from Borderlands 2 but as a legendary weapon instead of unique.
