Overview

Linebacker has a rather amusing design. If its projectiles come into contact with terrain, they will continue to bounce, causing an explosion each time.

Further bounces will increase the radius of the explosion, allowing for some creative opportunities to arise under the right circumstances.

Farm Method:

  • Defeat Skyspanner Kratch, who can drop Linebacker in addition to Hellfire.
  • Reset the fight with the Encore Machine in Lambent Mine.
  • Farm until Linebacker drops, as both legendaries share the same source.
