Baby Maker in Borderlands 3 is legendary pistol with many different players hunting for it. What the name doesn't tell you (among many things), is just how hard it is to find the weapon in the first place. If you're curious (and with a name like that who wouldn't be), read on to try and add the Baby Maker to your collection.

Borderlands 3 Baby Maker: What it Does and Variants

On paper, the Baby Maker is pretty unremarkable for a legendary weapon. Its most powerful variant is only 1169 Damage, putting it decently behind other legendary guns. What makes the weapon unique, like many other legendary weapons, is an impressive special ability. In terms of ability, each variant of the Baby Maker comes with one of two options. The first, less commonly known, causes the thrown weapon to MIRV into four projectiles that fly at enemies and then explode. Use this to clear-out tightly packed rooms and corridors or to buy space to look for better cover.

The much more impressive ability coming with some variants of the Baby Maker causes the gun, when reloaded and throw, to split into four Tediore Spider Turrets, powerful little robotic devils that will crawl around and blast enemies to bits while spouting off adorably-murderous lines. It's a sight to behold, that's for certain.

Borderlands 3 Baby Maker: How to Unlock

Sold yet? Then you probably want to know where you can find this thing, and there are two ways. The first is simple dumb luck, as the weapon has the thinnest sliver of a chance to spawn from just about any lootable object in the game world. However, given the literal billions of guns the game engine has the option to spawn, your chances aren't that high.

Those not in favor of playing the odds will be pleased to know that there is a more reliable way to unlock the Baby Maker. Completing all of the Dead Claptrap Challenges scattered throughout the game world will also reward the player with a Baby Maker. Just make sure to use it wisely, it's a devastating tool in the right hands.
