Borderlands 3 — Discover the Lord of the Rings Unique Weapon

If you don't want to miss anything about Borderlands 3, then you're necessarily interested in easter egg. Here is a guide to find the unique Burning Chomper weapon that is linked to a reference to the Lord of the Rings. It's not a legendary weapon, but it makes coffee. This easter egg will show you a place that strongly resembles a setting from the first film of the saga. Then you face a boss who is not at all epic. A busy schedule awaits you, so let's go, follow the guide.

How to get it

First of all, know that you must have made a minimum of progress in the game to access this easter egg. This is happening on Pandora, in the 'Konrad Fortress' area. You will arrive in this area during the main quest 'Angels and Demons (of speed)'. So, once in the right area, go to the place indicated on our map by a purple marker. You should have a secondary quest icon available. Start this quest called 'A demon in the dark'.

Obey and follow what Wren, the kind robot who gave you this quest, asks you to do. Follow the objectives until you reach a strange room. Here, you first have to release a robot trapped in excrement. Then, the eridian runes must be unlocked.

For that nothing simpler, pull on one of the many runes on the walls, your car must cross three rings in the room to unlock one of the runes of the door. There are three shots to succeed, it's geometry, think about it and you'll get there.

Continue the quest until you reach the place of our capture below on the left. We can clearly see the reference to LOTR and more precisely a reconstruction of the setting of the Moria mines with Balin's tomb. Apart from this nice reference, there is nothing here, continue the quest to the next step.

There, a boss named 'Lagramar' awaits you, mixing references between Balrog in Lord of the Rings and Aggramar raid boss in WoW Legion. Kill the boss, he'll have a chance to drop the Binary Mocking Cutsman weapon on you. If not, complete your quest and return to the area in question as many times as necessary. Access to this area is now unlocked.

Burning Chomper

This Torgue-made pump rifle is not a legendary weapon. It's not a problem, for a rare weapon, you'll rarely have something so strong in your hands. This trick shoots 2 groups of 3 projectiles that make waves oscillating horizontally by inflicting damage to everything in their path. Add to that incendiary damage and explosions and you have in mind what the Burning Chomper does. To put in the hands of anyone!

We recovered the weapon at level 50 and it is quite strong, especially for a rare single one. You can admire the statistics below:

  • Damage: 457x6
  • Accuracy: 73%
  • Handling: 56%
  • Reload Speed: 3.0s
  • Fire Rate: 1.20/s
  • Magazine size: 5
