BONUS WEAPON
 
 
If W4R-D3N is killed with the first weapon obtained in the game (The pistol given to you by claptrap to kill bullymong) There is a mall chance that it will drop a grenade mod called "Terror-Spawner". If this mod is thrown at any badass loader, it will instantly kill the loader, and spawn 2 mini-loaders, the hostile forms of which are often encountered when opening hyperion ammo boxes. This grenade mod can only be used 4 times, after which it will be removed from your inventory without any warning.

Revision as of 18:13, 15 October 2012

W4R-D3N is a Constructor miniboss that appears in Borderlands 2. It is the first Constructor fought in the game and thus can tear apart attackers who are not prepared and are unaware of the Constructor's array of deadly attacks. It is found after locating Roland inside of the Bloodshot Stronghold during the main story mission A Dam Fine Rescue. It will grab Roland and begin to take him to the Bloodshot Ramparts, where Hyperion is waiting to take him away.

Strategy

W4R-D3N has an orange shield which reflects all bullets while it is up, however it does periodically drop. The shield will only drop if an attacker is close enough to W4R-D3N. If they are too far away, it will be permanently engaged, and W4R-D3N will be nearly impossible to destroy.

W4R-D3N's weak spot is the red eye. Players using a sniper rifle will find this an easy target to score a number of guaranteed critical hits during each cycle of shield down-time. In addition, a critical hit while warden is constructing another Loader will interrupt the process and the Loader will not spawn.

For maximum effectiveness it is recommended to use a shock weapon to deplete W4R-D3N's shields, then switch to a corrosive weapon once the shields are depleted. Doing this, W4R-D3N can be dispatched with minimal trouble.

Bloodshot Ramparts

W4R-D3N can be defeated during its first appearance at Bloodshot Ramparts, however this is timed. If it is not destroyed in time, it will escape and take Roland to Friendship Gulag.

Friendship Gulag

If it escapes Bloodshot Ramparts, W4R-D3N will be found at the far end of Friendship Gulag. The path to W4R-D3N is full of Loaders, including Badass varieties. Once a path is cleared and the player approaches W4R-D3N, it will start spawning more Loaders, sometimes spawning a Badass version. The Loaders must be dispatched quickly or they will quickly make an already tough boss fight overwhelming.
