One of the coolest shotguns in the series makes a comeback in Borderlands 4, made by Jakobs. This guide will cover how you'll be able to get your hands on the Hellwaker and what to expect.

The Hellwalker will drop from The Immortal Boneface, who happens to be a boss at the Old Scrape Drill Site around the southern side of Terminus Range.

I would recommend heading to the Order Silo, The Reliquary, and then heading down south, as it would save a lot of time.

Like any drill site, this site is also accessed as a mini slaughter arena where waves of enemies spawn until the boss appears. In this particular drill side, the boss, The Immortal Boneface, cannot be killed directly; you'll need to kill Saddleback first, the creature that's carrying him.

After Saddleback is down, you'll then be able to deal damage to The Immortal Boneface.

After the fight is over and if the shotgun does not drop, you're always allowed to exit the arena and activate the Encore Machine and repeat the process mentioned above to finally get your hands on the weapon.

Do keep in mind, the Hellwalker is a non-elemental shotgun that uses two ammo per shot and reloads one shot at a time. The shotgun always tends to spawn with the same parts and stats.

It has a legendary effect known as the Soothslayer and fires in a star-like, pentagram pattern. The gun also has a very reminiscent sound effect, which is a clear nod to Doom's Super Shotgun.

The Hellwalkers are pretty fast-firing, and they can be spammed because of their quicker load speed. But disappointingly, it's not one of the strongest legendary weapons, as a lot of its stats are comparable to purple rarity shotguns.

It is still a reliable and fun-to-use shotgun regardless, and a solid addition to anyone's arsenal.
