Borderlands 4 How to Unlock the Legendary Plasma Coil SMG

Plasma Coil returns from Borderlands 3 as a Legendary SMG that fires high (elemental) damage, slow moving, orb-like projectiles.

While its slow projectiles can be an issue, this is easily overcome by simply moving into close range and fighting enemies head-on. While nothing flashy, it's definitely a solid option overall.

Unlock Location:

• Progress through the story until reaching "The Timekeeper's Order" a Main Quest in Dominion area.
• You will encounter The Primordial Guardian Timekeeper, the last major campaign boss.

Farm Method:

• Defeat The Primordial Guardian Timekeeper and finish the main story mission.
• After completing the story mission, return to his arena.
• Use the Encore Machine nearby to reset the fight.
• Repeatedly defeat The Primordial Guardian Timekeeper until Plasma Coil drops.
