The Jabbermogwai in Borderlands is a valuable enemy that drops specific legendary weapons upon defeat, most notably the Magnificent pistol and the Hellfire submachine gun.
Jabbermogwai Loot Pool
The Jabbermogwai is known for its exclusive drop, the Hellfire, and an increased chance at the Magnificent. The conditions for obtaining these items can vary.
| Item Name | Weapon Type | Rarity | Specific Conditions / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magnificent | Pistol | Legendary | Increased chance to drop from the Jabbermogwai. |
| Hellfire | Submachine Gun (SMG) | Legendary | Exclusive drop from the Jabbermogwai. Only drops if the Jabbermogwai is defeated by incendiary damage. The drop chance is somewhat low on Normal Mode without Mayhem Mode enabled but is otherwise guaranteed. |
The Magnificent Pistol
The Jabbermogwai offers an increased chance to obtain the legendary Magnificent pistol. This weapon is a powerful sidearm that can be a valuable addition to any Vault Hunter's arsenal. While it can drop from other sources, the Jabbermogwai serves as a good farming target for this particular weapon due to its heightened drop rate.
The Hellfire Submachine Gun
The Hellfire submachine gun is a unique and exclusive drop from the Jabbermogwai. This means that the Jabbermogwai is the only source for this legendary incendiary SMG.
However, there's a crucial condition for the Hellfire to drop: the Jabbermogwai must be killed by incendiary damage. If it's defeated by any other damage type (e.g., corrosive, shock, kinetic, cryo), the Hellfire will not drop. Furthermore, while the Hellfire is a guaranteed drop when killed with incendiary damage on Mayhem Mode, its chance can be somewhat lower when playing on Normal Mode without any Mayhem modifiers active.
To maximize your chances of obtaining the Hellfire, always ensure you finish off the Jabbermogwai with a weapon or ability that inflicts incendiary damage.
