How to Get the Penetrator Augment Knife in Borderlands 4

by

Players in *Borderlands 4* have found a powerful Throwing Knife that can defeat bosses and enemies incredibly quickly, dealing damage in the billions. Because it’s unlikely Gearbox will fix this issue immediately, players are looking for the best way to consistently find this Throwing Knife so they can easily defeat bosses. We’ve outlined the most effective farming location and the specific Throwing Knife players are after.

How to Farm the Best Throwing Knife in Borderlands 4

Getting the best Throwing Knife in *Borderlands 4* relies on luck, as it doesn’t come from a specific, farmable loot source. However, players have found that Driller Hole, a boss in the Queen’s Cradle area of Tonnage Peel, Carcadia Burn, is the most efficient to farm. You can access this boss after completing the “Unpaid Tab” main mission. Driller Hole has both armor and health, so it’s best to use Corrosive, Cryo, and Incendiary weapons to defeat him quickly. While Driller Hole drops a lot of loot, he primarily drops ordnance, including Throwing Knives. More importantly, after defeating him, a Red Chest will appear in the southeast of the room, and this chest has a higher chance of dropping the specific Throwing Knife you’re looking for. To get the knife, you’ll need to repeatedly defeat Driller Hole and open the Red Chest until it finally drops.

The Penetrator Throwing Knife isn’t always dropped by this boss, but it’s more likely to drop here than anywhere else. As with all drops based on chance, some players may get lucky and receive it more often than others.

What is the Best Throwing Knife in Borderlands 4?

Players are searching for a Jakobs Throwing Knife with two specific perks: Penetrator Augment and Damage Amp Payload. These perks create what’s considered the best possible version of the knife, allowing players to quickly defeat bosses. The key perk is Penetrator Augment, which guarantees any damage dealt to an enemy will be a critical hit for five seconds. When combined with Damage Amp Payload, which increases the damage enemies take by 15% for five seconds, this Throwing Knife effectively weakens and destroys opponents. These are the only two perks players should prioritize when looking for this powerful weapon.
