Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is a legendary shield manufactured by Anshin in Borderlands 3. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source but has an increased chance to drop from Crushjaw located in Cathedral of the Twin Gods on Pandora.

Special Effects

Situation normal – When damaged, has a 25% chance to throw 3 IEDs in a spread in front of the wearer; one directly ahead and two at 45 degree angles to the left and right.

Usage & Description

The IEDs dropped are similar to the sticky mines created by some grenade mods and will explode after a fixed amount of time or when an enemy approaches too closely. The IED explosions have the same element as the shield.
