Pearlescent loot explained
[p]Alongside the launch of Bounty Pack 2, we deployed a Major Update that adds Pearlescent gear to Borderlands 4, sure to make for some of the most coveted drops in the game. This new rarity will be available to everyone no matter which edition of Borderlands 4 you own, though some Pearlescent gear will require ownership of paid content like Bounty Pack 2.[/p][p][/p][p]Pearlescent gear introduces a new weapon behavior, Ordonite Infusion, which acts like an elemental override for dealing optimal damage based on an enemy's Health type. All Pearlescent gear will have an Override elemental type in addition to any baseline elemental types; whichever is most effective will be used automatically against your target.[/p][p][/p][p]For example, you might be lucky enough to find a Pearlescent weapon with Shock damage and Incendiary Override as its Ordonite Infusion. If you're trying to kill an enemy with the Flesh Health type (indicated by a red health bar), which resists Shock but is weak to Incendiary damage, the Pearlescent will automatically use Incendiary Override to deal the most lethal damage type. When fighting an enemy with the Shield Health type (blue health bar), which is weak to Shock, your Pearlescent weapon will simply deal its default Shock damage as normal and the Incendiary Override won't activate.[/p][p][/p][p]With Pearlescent gear, your weapon can do some of the elemental damage optimization on its own, instead of needing you to manually switch to a different weapon or underbarrel. This is hugely beneficial when playing on Hard mode and Ultimate Vault Hunter mode, where enemies' elemental resistances and vulnerabilities make a big difference for your overall damage output.[/p][p][/p][p]Here's a list of the three Pearlescent weapon drops introduced as part of the February 26 Major Update:[/p]- [p]Eigenburst Tediore Shotgun[/p][/*]
- [p]Conflux Maliwan Sniper Rifle[/p][/*]
- [p]Hand Cannon Torgue Pistol (requires ownership of Bounty Pack 2*)[/p][/*]
Farming Pearlescent gear with the Ordonite Processor
[p]All players will be able to farm for Pearlescent gear via the new, repeatable Ordonite Processor activity, which has set locations in the Fadefields, Carcadia Burn, and Terminus Range. Once you've tracked down an Ordonite Processor, you can activate it by spending Eridium, which will spawn multiple waves of enemies that can drop Ordonite canisters when killed.[/p][p][/p][p]By grabbing those Ordonite canisters and tossing them into the Ordonite Processor, you'll be doing your part to recycle its energy and rid Kairos of that corrupting power. After you've recycled enough canisters, you'll attract the attention of a stronger Ordonite-Infused enemy that has a chance to drop Pearlescent gear. If you can kill enemies and deposit Ordonite canisters quickly enough before the activity timer expires, you can spawn up to three Ordonite-Infused enemies each time you farm this repeatable activity.
