Amach Borderlands 3 Boss Guide

If you’re wanting to take down Amach, then you’re going to have to make good use of various elemental weaponry. Amach is someone who kicks about in Cursehaven in the lastest Borderlands 3 Guns, Love and Tentacles DLC, and he’s a Fareer who takes people down from afar with a powerful sniper rifle. The thing about Amach is that he has a sniper rifle, which means that you’re going to not want to give him time to prepare for your blows from afar. If he jumps the gun on you, it can really hurt, so your job is to essentially get close enough to him to take him out without also getting caught by, uh, his tentacles. 

Here are some tips and tricks to taking down Amach:

  • Watch out for his Witnesses – if you get too close, they’ll fire on you and they have weird protrusions
  • Don’t get too close – he has tentacles, which we reckon are totally terrible
  • You don’t want to give him the ability to set up for a long-range damage shot
  • Use shock weapons to take care of his shield
  • Use incendiary weapons to take out his health

Now that you have our Amach Borderlands 3 boss guide to hand, it should be a fair bit easier for you to take down this particular enemy and to ensure that you pick up the Unseen Threat. We don’t think he’s all that hard to actually take out so long as you’re someone who doesn’t get caught in the head by an errant bullet, but it’s really a game of shredding his health before he can do the same to you. When you kill him, he has a chance to drop the Unseen Threat Legendary which we reckon is a pretty decent sniper rifle.

We reckon that the Guns, Love and Tentacles DLC that Amach shows up in is pretty worth it, but if you’re not entirely sold yet then why not check out the reveal trailer below for it on the official Borderlands 3 YouTube channel? We think it’s going to be a pretty easy sell once you’ve cracked through all the cool footage, and honestly, Old Gods are pretty persuasive on their own (and we’re not talking about the Old God legendary shield which we’ve covered in this guide here).
