Borderlands 3 Projectile Recursion Guide – How to Get This Weapon

If you’re wondering why you might want the Projectile Recursion weapon specifically, well, we’ll break it down for you. Essentially, this Maliwan weapon is valuable because it shoots bullets that will ricochet on impact. It’s a highly accurate weapon as well, which means that it’s got to have some kind of trade-off. Here, this trade-off comes in the form of a super slow fire rate so you’re going to have to make your shots count. We won’t be chancing it by taking pot-shots from a distance here considering just how quickly things can go south if your enemy’s agile. 

The Projectile Recursion doesn’t have a particular boss or questline that it’s tied to. For better or for worse, it drops from any random loot source. We can’t say if this particular ups your chances of getting it since you can get so many bloody weapons in the game from any loot source – and we have a list if you were unsure – but it might be comforting to know that you can pick it up out of some random shack as easily as you after digging through the guts of a boss like Skrakk. If you’re wanting to go the boss farming route, we would recommend harvesting the Graveward and our guide might make that a little less painless than opening every chest in the galaxy.

Now that you’ve got our tips on how to get your hands on the Borderlands 3 Projectile Recursion weapon, maybe you might find some other tips and tricks to do with Vault Hunting helpful as well?
