Borderlands 3 The Hunted Unique Sniper Rifle Guide

If you’re someone who likes to have a different weapon for each type of enemy that you encounter, well, we guess that’s just specialized murder. If you think that robots are the absolute scum of the galaxy, well, then you really can’t go wrong with The Hunted. This Unique sniper rifle is great because of its one special weapon effect called “So dead” which gives, well, a huge damage boost against robots to the tune of doing 175% increased damage on top of the base damage that the gun does. Yes, that is a huge percentage, but it also ensures that the weapon does not spawn with a scope. Despite it being a sniper rifle, the lack of the scope means that you’re really going to be wanting to go at it at shotgun range so just keep that limitation in mind. Aside from that, you can blast robots to smithereens. 

Now that you have a better idea of why you might want The Hunted, let’s crack on to how you can get it. Unfortunately, The Hunted has a chance to drop from pretty much any loot source, which means that it could be anything from a portable toilet on Pandora to popping out of a boss. If you’re wanting to farm some boss without much difficulty, we would definitely recommend the Graveward since it’s easy to take down and you can just do that as many times as you need until it spits out The Hunted. There you go! You just need some persistence. We have a guide to taking down the Graveward right here for your convenience

So, now that you have our guide to the Borderlands 3 The Hunted unique sniper rifle, you should be able to use it to take down anything that clanks about in style. Yes, we know there are probably more organic enemies than not, but this sniper rifle definitely has its place and we’re happy to guide it there. Don’t have a copy of the game yet?
