All Sidney Pointylegs Boss Loot in Borderlands 4

Borderlands 4 has some truly strange enemies, but Sidney Pointylegs stands out. He’s a bizarre combination – a massive Psycho head mounted on a spider-like robot body. Like other major bosses in the game, defeating him rewards you with great loot.

Looking for powerful early-game legendary weapons in *Borderlands 4*? Sidney Pointylegs is a great boss to farm. This guide will show you what valuable gear he drops and how to find him.

Borderlands 4: Sidney Pointylegs Location

Okay, so I finally found Sidney Pointylegs in *Borderlands 4*. You gotta head to The Prospects, which is one of the Ripper Drill Sites. It’s located in the Hungering Plain part of the Fadefields. The easiest way to find it? Look for the Someday Rise Safehouse in Idolator’s Noose – it’s just across the bridge from there.

Okay, so I found out about this little bandit camp called The Prospects. It’s not huge, but once you clear it out for the first time, this machine called the Encore – it’s for Sidney Pointylegs, if you’re familiar – actually spawns right next to the ammo vendor near where you respawn. It’s super handy!

Farming Sidney Pointylegs

  • This boss has three health bars that uses all three health types (Shields, Armor, and regular red health).
  • If you haven’t maxed out your character yet, or if you’re yet to make a solid build for farming, we recommend using a Jakobs gun or one with Jakobs parts. Blast his huge head and let the ricocheting bullets deal with the minor enemies.
  • The Beam Tosser underbarrel attachment is fairly decent against Sidney due to his large hitbox.

Borderlands 4: Sidney Pointylegs Legendary Drops

As a longtime player, I’ve learned that Sidney Pointylegs, like most of the bosses, can drop any of the legendary items you can find in the game. But honestly, he seems to drop these three specific legendaries a lot more often than others – I’ve noticed it happening quite a bit!

Sidney Pointylegs Boss Drops in Borderlands 4
Noisy Cricket (Pistol) Order pistol that fires a single, powerful round. On impact, the projectile creates an AoE shockwave, and the gun knocks players back slightly when fired. Direct reference to the Men in Black franchise.
Swarm (Grenade) When thrown, the grenade homes in on targets. When it makes contact with an enemy, it unleashes smaller grenades that seek out and repeatedly hit targets for a short duration.
Disc Jockey (Heavy Ordnance) Heavy weapon that fires saw blades. Upon hitting an enemym, the blades ricochet towards other enemies, dealing more damage for each enemy that it bounces to.

Of all the weapons available, the Swarm grenade is likely the most helpful for most character setups. Simply throw them to greatly increase your damage output. Plus, Swarm grenades come with different upgrades that add extra effects, like healing you when they hit or dealing Radiation damage, and many more.

The Noisy Cricket and Disc Jockey are good weapons, but they perform best with specific skill setups. To maximize the Noisy Cricket’s damage, focus on the ‘First Impression’ skill from Rafa’s Lance tree and ‘Vitriol’ from the Arc Knives tree – this combination will double your shot damage. For the Disc Jockey, getting the ‘Endless Bombardment’ skill in Amon’s Crucible tree will allow you to use it very frequently.
