With the Revenge of the Cartels event going on now, players have been treated to new bosses, new enemies, and new loot to earn. Among the new drops is the Legendary rocket launcher Yellowcake and if you ever wanted to feel like a weapon-fueled god, here’s your chance. 

The Yellowcake rocket launcher is incredibly powerful with its projectiles in its vanilla form but it can be made truly OP by making it Anointed. If players invest their time into the Yellowcake, the rewards are immense with the most notable boon being a 3x buff to damage for the gun’s output, which makes it the best weapon to take with you against even the toughest of bosses. 

With the hilarious, and on-brand, caption of “I’m really more of a pie person,” the Melty Katetime Yellowcake rocket launcher has a high damage rate right out of the gate but as mentioned, that can be upgraded through the right perk. You can see the weapon in action at the video below provided by ‘KhrazeGaming’ to see how it handles in the game: 

With its unlimited magazine size, this thing is a beaut and one of the many reasons for Borderlands 3 players to dive into the Revenge of the Cartels event that is going on now. There are other unique rewards to earn as well, including weapon skins, Vault Hunter skins, and more!
