Slipping through Your Fingers

Moxxi has prepared a legendary reward for the unparalleled heroism you showed in sucker-punching a couple of drunks. Trouble is, you apparently have to roll for everything in “Bunkers & Badasses.” When you first discover the gun, lying on a platform in plain sight in the northwest region of the Immortal Woods, a bad roll sends it slipping through your fingers, falling a short distance to the south. The attempt should generate a new spawning of skeletons. You’ll want to leave them alive and lead them to the new location, as when you pick up the gun and roll a second critical failure, your bad roll flat-out kills you.

It’s just sitting there. How hard could this possibly be?

Make sure there’s some enemy around to provide a Second Wind before you reach for the gun a second time.

The second fumble sends the gun all the way to The Forest, where it lands on the ridge just east of Aubrey, the Teenage Treant. This time, your failure somehow transforms the gun into an orc with swords for arms known as Arguk the Butcher. Hey, it happens.

Like most orcs, Arguk is not a big fan of being set on fire.

Arguk loves to leap at you, so try to keep the tree on the battlefield between you and him. He’ll still try to leap at you, get blocked by the tree, and fail, all while you’re pumping him full of bullets.
