How do you farm free radicals?

Answered by Robert Dupre

To farm the Free Radical, a Director’s Cut exclusive Legendary weapon in Borderlands 3, there are a few different methods you can try. Here’s a detailed explanation of each method:

1. Farming Beef Plissken in Karass Canyon:
– Beef Plissken is a named enemy that appears in Ava’s Murder Mystery Missions on Pandora.
– Start the mission and progress until you reach Karass Canyon. This area is accessible after completing a few story missions.
– Once in Karass Canyon, make your way to Beef Plissken’s location. He is a mini-boss who spawns near a large dam.
– Engage in combat with Beef Plissken and defeat him to have a chance at obtaining the Free Radical.
– If you don’t get the Free Radical on your first attempt, you can save and quit, then reload the game to respawn Beef Plissken and try again.
– Repeat this process until you obtain the Free Radical.

2. Obtaining from The Seer:
– The Seer is a raid boss that was added in the Director’s Cut DLC.
– This raid boss has a chance to drop the Free Radical upon defeat.
– To access The Seer raid boss, you need to progress through the Director’s Cut content and complete specific quests.
– Once you have access to The Seer, gather a group of players and take on the raid boss.
– Defeat The Seer repeatedly until you obtain the Free Radical.

3. Hemovorous the Invincible:
– Hemovorous the Invincible is a challenging raid boss in Borderlands 3 that was added in the Director’s Cut DLC.
– This raid boss also has a chance to drop the Free Radical upon defeat.
– To fight Hemovorous, you will need to have the Director’s Cut DLC and progress through the content until you unlock the raid boss.
– Gather a group of players and take on the tough challenge of defeating Hemovorous.
– Keep defeating Hemovorous until you obtain the Free Radical.

It’s important to note that farming for specific Legendary weapons can sometimes take time and multiple attempts. The drop rates for these weapons are randomized, so you may need to be patient and persistent in your farming efforts. Additionally, playing with a group of friends or using powerful builds can increase your chances of success in defeating raid bosses like The Seer or Hemovorous.

Personal experiences and situations may vary when farming for the Free Radical or any other Legendary weapon. Some players may get lucky and obtain the weapon quickly, while others may need to invest more time and effort into the farming process. It’s all part of the excitement and challenge of looter shooter games like Borderlands 3.
