Borderlands 4: Bio Bulkhead Boss Guide - Tips, Tricks, and Legendary Loot!

So, you're tackling the Bio Bulkhead in Borderlands 4? This ain't your average armored goon. Covered in special bio-armor, this boss is immune to everything... until it isn't. This guide will give you the lowdown on how to melt that armor and grab some sweet legendary loot.

How to Find the Bio Bulkhead

You'll stumble upon the Bio Bulkhead during the "One Fell Swoop" main story mission. You're essentially raiding an Order base to sniff out intel on Idolator Sol's bioweapon. The mission area is the Dissected Plateau, and to reach the Bio Bulkhead, you'll have to fight your way through the Order base again.

Pro-tip: Once you hit the main hall, take the elevator. And if you've already finished "One Fell Swoop," just sprint past all the enemies. To make it even easier, mark the location of its dedicated Encore machine, then call out ECHO-4. It'll show you the way.

Beating the Bio Bulkhead: Locust Canisters Are Your Friend

This fight introduces Locust Canisters, throwable vials of Sol's bioweapon. The Bio Bulkhead is invulnerable until you huck one of these at it. The Locust Canister corrodes the armor, leaving it open for some good old-fashioned Vault Hunter violence.

Locust Canisters spawn in dispensers near the pillars in the arena. If you miss, just wait for a new one. Remember, the canisters only destroy armor where they hit. So, a frontal hit leaves the backside armored.

Legendary Loot: What to Farm

Like any good Borderlands 4 boss, the Bio Bulkhead drops world loot and its own dedicated goodies. Here's what you can target farm:

• Budget Deity: If you're building around the Atlas Tracker mechanic, this weapon could be decent. Otherwise, any other Tediore gun might be better.
• Waterfall Grenade: A solid choice, but make sure you have a way to avoid blowing yourself up. Safety first, Vault Hunter!
• Sho Kunai: As cool as it sounds, its uses are limited. The movement speed buff isn't significant unless you're running a movement speed-focused build. Many players will likely skip this one.

Final Thoughts

The Bio Bulkhead isn't the toughest boss in Borderlands 4, but knowing the mechanics is key. Chuck those Locust Canisters, dodge its attacks, and you'll be swimming in legendary loot in no time. Happy hunting!
