How to get Lucky 7, ION CANNON, Boomers, Craps and other legendary Guns in Borderlands 3 Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot

There are 12 new legendary guns introduced in Borderlands 3 Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot.

Each new weapon has its own set of bonuses, effects and maybe even a special ability. Lucky 7, for example, has a slot machine mechanic, which randomly decides what effect your bullets might have.

All of these weapons, except for the ION CANNON, can be dropped randomly by any enemy within The Jackpot. This is, however, a rare occurrence and you're more likely to receive the gun by defeating the boss or mini-boss whose loot pool it's been assigned too.

The ION CANNON can found be found by defeating the Fabricator.

Below you'll find a list of all the legendary guns exclusive to Borderlands 3 Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot, including their special abilities and which enemy is more likely to drop them:

Legendary Class Mods found in Borderlands 3 Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot

There are four new class mods - one for each Vault Hunter - in Borderlands 3 Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot.

Each class mod has its own special effect and a variety of bonuses, which could be anything from increasing your Vault Hunter's Max Health to a specific type of weapon damage.

Best of all, however, each class mod will provide five bonus skill points across a set of skills. This will allow you to invest in skills that you passed up on while levelling up.

Like with the majority of the legendary guns, there is a rare chance that one of these class mods will be randomly dropped by any enemy within The Jackpot. Each class mod, however, is assigned to the Jackbot's loot pool, which is the final boss of this DLC.

Legendary Class Mods can be dropped by regular enemies.

Below you'll find a list of all the legendary class mods exclusive to Borderlands 3 Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot, including which skills each one provides bonus points for:

How to find the legendary Rico shield in Borderlands 3 Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot

The Rico shield is the only legendary shield in Borderlands 3 Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot.

You receive this shield by completing All Bets Off, the final mission of Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot.

Like the name suggests, this shield is all about reflecting the bullets and projectiles that are sent towards you. This includes both when the shield is in use and when it's not.

It will also drop Fortify Charges, which give you a 10% Damage Reduction, and returns a large amount of damage to any one who dares try to melee you.
