In Borderlands 4, the legendary Pacemaker rep kit is dropped by Horace, a boss that you'll be able to find in Hungering Plain in the Fadefields.

You'll be able to access him only after completing the Down and Outbound story mission.

I would recommend unlocking the Shut-Eye Keep Safe House, as it is the fastest way there.

From there, when you're on the way to the Encore Machine, it can be a bit disorienting to say the least, especially when a lot of enemies swarm you, but thankfully, most of them can just be skipped by running past.

Do keep in mind that Horace is a flying enemy who can't be frozen before activating the Encore Machine.

I'd suggest you head in with a strong enough weapon that has a consistent damage output. When defeated, make your way to the purple orb inside the arena to reset the encounter so that you can have another go if you didn't manage to get the weapon – the drop chance is around 1 in 20, so it might take you a while.

Made by Daedalus, the rep kit features burst healing abilities with added passive regeneration that adds up over time. You'll have to look out for its 21-second cooldown time, but it is balanced by its strong healing.

Because of its burst healing ability, it's really handy when it comes to clutch situations; I found the passive regeneration to be slower and less reliable in the midst of heavy combat, but it works really well in between fights.

When you consider that Horus is an early game boss, getting your hands on this kid will give you a strong advantage over other standard purple and blues.
