How Do You Get the Face-Puncher in BL3?

As a seasoned Vault Hunter with countless hours spent traversing the vast and chaotic world of Pandora, I can confidently say that the Face-Puncher shotgun in Borderlands 3 is a game-changer… once you’ve leveled up and acquired the right gear. At first glance, it might seem like a lackluster addition to your arsenal, but once you start racking up those melee bonuses, watch out, enemies!

In the thrilling world of Borderlands 3, I’ve come to cherish a rather exceptional weapon – the Face-Puncher. Unlike traditional shotguns, it dishes out melee damage with its pellets instead. This legendary weapon amplifies any and all melee advantages it can get, boosting its power significantly. In other words, if you’re not running a melee-focused build in Borderlands 3, the Face-Puncher might not live up to its name, dealing far less damage.

Often, players find the Face-Puncher to be underrated. Initially, it may seem lackluster, especially for melee-focused characters. But as your Vault Hunter progresses and gathers better equipment, the enhanced melee perks allow you to strike enemies from a distance, like a massive vehicle.

In the game ‘Borderlands 3’, the Face-Puncher is a rare item that can be obtained in various ways such as defeating enemies and bosses, opening chests, using slot machines and vending machines, completing challenges, or exchanging Eridium Shards with Crazy Earl. However, since there are more than 150 unique items in the game, getting a legendary shotgun is mostly dependent on luck. The drop rate for each legendary item is low and evenly distributed, so be prepared to invest significant time into farming for it.

It’s fortunate that a specific foe in Borderlands 3, known as Muldock, the Anointed, has a greater likelihood of dispensing the Face-Puncher shotgun. During your journey through the main campaign, you’ll come across several bosses, and Muldock is one of them. In Borderlands 3, there’s about a 15% probability that Muldock will hand over the Face-Puncher weapon to you. If you wish to bypass a tough grind, activate a legendary drop booster and repeatedly battle Muldock until he bestows the weapon upon you.

Where To Find Muldock In Borderlands 3?

In the world of Borderlands 3, I’ve stumbled upon Muldock hidden within Fort Sunshine, a place nestled up north from Floodmoor Basin on Eden-6. The area boasts several fast-travel points and convenient Catch-a-Rides to ensure swift movement across the zone.

In Borderlands 3, your initial meeting with Muldock occurs during the mission known as Guns of Reliance. This involves an assault on the prison at Wainwright Jakobs’ behest to liberate the rebels. Towards the end of this quest, Troy Calypso’s twin will transport Muldock for a battle. After defeating him, simply reload and head back to Fort Sunshine prison to find Muldock reappearing as a recurring boss you can fight again.

Multidock is a mutated human character who needs a player of at least level 27 to engage in combat. He shouldn’t prove too challenging if you match his level. If you’re looking to finish the fight quickly, consider employing an incendiary weapon like the Doom Hellwalker shotgun. These weapons excel against fleshy opponents.

In Borderlands 3, Muldock often drops the exceptional Rectifier Shield. This shield significantly increases your resistance to shock damage and triggers an electric shock on surrounding enemies when it runs out.
