Overview

Frangible is a mysterious Legendary SMG that's functions as an amalgamation of licensed parts. What you get will greatly vary, and you won't know how it works until you give it a try.

Everything is fully concealed upon inspection, including its damage values which are displayed at zero. It truly is an anomaly, but that's definitely a part of its appeal!

How to Unlock

Unlock Location & Farm Method:

As far as we know, Frangible does not have a designated drop location. Instead, you'll just have to farm away and hope you get it as a random World Drop.

It is also confirmed to drop in red chests, so any event that rewards multiple will increase your changes.

  • An example is the Meteorite event in Stardown Point in Carcadia Burn
