The Streamer is a unique legendary weapon in Borderlands 4, dropped from The Oppressor, and can be found early in the game.

The Oppressor can be found in Fadefields; to head to the area efficiently, you want to fast travel to the safe house Wyclef's Reprieve and then activate it to save time while you are farming.

Before you go hunting for the boss, you'll need to complete the story mission A Lot to Process.

To reach the area where the boss is, you'll need to cover yourself in meat and quickly scan into the pipe teleporter before it wears off. This will pull you straight into the boss's arena.

You'll notice that The Oppressor is a flying enemy, which makes this fight pretty challenging compared to the other bosses, as it can be more time-consuming when you factor in that flying enemies in this game have really weird hit boxes.

When you defeat the boss, you'll notice that the loot gets scattered everywhere, but you don't have to waste time going around the arena looking for scraps.

Because whenever the boss does decide to drop good loot, there will be a star on the map to indicate legendary drops. You'll want to repeat the process using the Encore Machine until you get your desired drop.

The Steamer usually deals very high damage, but it must be charged before firing, and whenever you do shoot, the project tiles will remain in place.

They'll emit a continuous beam that is capable of going through a bunch of enemies if they're aligned in a straight line.

While it is powerful, it can be difficult to use, as it takes a while to set up, and it may not be as effective against enemies that are constantly in motion.

I would recommend pairing it with the freeze effect against its bosses that don't really tend to move as much.

If used smartly and timed well, it can be a devastating tool to have in your arsenal.
