UAV

How to Get the UAV Grenade in Borderlands 4

  • How to Get: Farmed from Mimicron in the “Tipping Point” Order Bunker, Idolator’s Noose, the Fadefields.
  • Death From Above

The UAV won’t let players pinpoint enemies like in a competitive player-versus-player match. Instead, it lets them deploy a beacon, which sends drones flying over the target area. These drones then bombard the area with explosives and elemental damage. The blast radius is large enough to significantly damage anyone caught within the UAV’s beacon range. This makes the UAV very effective against large groups of enemies, as precise aiming isn’t required. It’s also useful against slower-moving bosses, even though the drone’s attack is somewhat slow, it still deals considerable damage.

Chaumurky

How to Get the Chaumurky Grenade in Borderlands 4

  • How to Get: Farmed from the Foundry Freaks (Hank the Welder, Sal the Engineer, Frank the Furnace) at “The Pitted Stain” Ripper Drill Site, located in Idolator’s Noose, the Fadefields.
  • Incessant – Continuously homes in on a target

The Chaumurky is a one-time-use Order grenade that’s worth waiting to recharge for. Instead of exploding, it repeatedly homes in on and damages enemies. Once the initial target is defeated, the Chaumurky will automatically find a new one, continuing to attack for a considerable duration. Essentially, you throw it, and it becomes a flying attacker, helping to deal with groups of enemies.

Blockbuster

How to Get the Blockbuster Grenade in Borderlands 4

  • How to Get: Farmed from Vile Lictor in the Umbral Foundry, Windpsear, Terminus Range. Available after the Main Mission: “His Vile Sanctum”
  • Got You Covered

The Blockbuster Grenade is a powerful weapon, but be careful – you’ll need to find cover when you use it! It bounces around and explodes five times in quick succession. This, combined with its wide blast radius, makes it great for dealing big damage to bosses and quickly clearing out groups of weaker enemies. Just watch out – the unpredictable explosions could also hit you!

explodes 5 times

Swarm

How to Get the Swarm Grenade in Borderlands 4

  • How to Get: Farmed from Sydney Pointylegs at “The Prospects” Ripper Drill Site, Hungering Plain, the Fadefields.
  • Swoosh

The “Swoosh” grenade might look simple, but it has a powerful hidden ability that makes it really effective. When you throw it, it breaks apart into three grenades. Those three then swarm towards enemies, tracking them fairly well, and *each* splits into three more. That means one throw delivers the impact of nine grenades! While the initial damage isn’t huge, it’s fantastic for taking out groups of enemies. A single grenade can either hit one enemy nine times, or spread out to damage nine different targets, ensuring significant damage.

Firepot

How to Get the Firepot Grenade in Borderlands 4

  • How to Get: Farmed from Leader Willem, located at The Excrucible in Grindstone of the Worthy, Carcadia Burn. Available after “The Mole’s Gambit”, the final Faction Mission for the Electi started with Levaine.
  • Spicy – Spawns hominh Torgue Stickies over time.

Torgue weapons are famous for their explosive power, and the Firepot grenade takes that to the extreme with fiery, burning damage. This grenade always deals fire damage, making it incredibly effective against enemies vulnerable to heat. The Firepot bounces a good distance before exploding, and while it’s traveling, it releases smaller, self-guided explosives that seek out and detonate on nearby enemies. Just one Firepot can quickly eliminate groups of enemies with its continuous burning and homing explosions. It’s not just good for clearing out hordes either – stacking Firepot and ordnance damage makes it a powerful tool for taking down even the toughest bosses.

Jelly

How to Get the Jelly Grenade in Borderlands 4

  • How to Get: Farmed from Splashzone, located in the Riptide Grotto, in Coastal Bonescape, the Fadefields.
  • Self-Replicating

The Jelly is a fantastic grenade for many reasons. It has a high number of uses, deals good damage, and can come with various elemental types. As a Ripper grenade, it teleports to the target, but its real strength lies in its special effect: when thrown, it splits into two projectiles on impact and bounces rapidly. While the bouncing can be a little unpredictable, the Jelly is well worth using because of how quickly and erratically it bounces. This allows you to quickly take out groups of enemies, and consistently apply elemental effects to larger, tougher bosses.

Slippy

How to Get the Slippy Grenade in Borderlands 4

  • How to Get: Farmed from Shadowpelt, located at the “Whistler’s Maw” Abandoned Auger Mine in Cuspid Climb, Terminus Range.
  • Swordfish – Deals Melee Damage on detonation.

Slippy is a ridiculously fun and powerful weapon. It’s literally a fish you throw to slap and launch enemies! When thrown, Slippy bounces, splits into two, then into three, creating chaotic bounces. You can even enhance Slippy with a special ability that deals melee damage when it explodes, letting you create builds that combine melee and explosive power. With the right build, throwing Slippy at enemies guarantees a hilariously embarrassing defeat at the hands of… a fish!

Waterfall

How to Get the Waterfall Grenade in Borderlands 4

  • How to Get: Farmed from the Bio-Bulkhead, located at Synthetic Nave, Dissected Plateau in the Fadefields. Available after the Main Mission “One Fell Swoop”.
  • Waterfall – Causes additional explosions when damaging targets.

Waterfall is a particularly strong grenade with effects that significantly boost its power. It can deal burst damage with its Pulsing Augment and amplify grenade damage, radius, and speed with the Nuke effect. These features combine to create a devastating area-of-effect attack, causing extra explosions on impact. Players can use Waterfall against both bosses and smaller enemies to create a large, lingering elemental blast that continues as long as there are targets nearby.
