Hellwalker Borderlands 3, one of the game's newest shotguns, is both an excellent addition to a players arsenal, as well as a nice nod to one of the most important games in first-person shooter history; DOOM.

So finally got the Speedloadn' Hellwalker in Borderlands 3. If you weren't aware, it's a reference to the double-barrel shotgun in Doom.

My favorite part? It plays a Doom-like guitar riff every time you shoot it. I love this damn game. #Borderlands3 #Xbox #XboxShare ???

Hellwalker Borderlands 3: How to Get the Legendary Shotgun

Originally introduced in DOOM, where it was called the super shotgun, the Speedloadn' Hellwalker includes plenty of easter eggs and references to both the original Doom and it's 2016 remake. When equipping the Hellwalker, a metal guitar riff can be heard, reminiscent of the heavy soundtracks of Doom. Additionally, the sound effects of the Hellwalker are the exact same sounds heard when using the Super Shotgun in Doom 2016.

In order to obtain the Hellwalker, the best place to farm is the boss of Athenas, Captain Traunt. Out of any boss in the game, the reward probabilities for the Hellfire on Captain Traunt are by far the best. If you're not a fan of Captain Traunt, the The gun can also be obtained through several slot machines.

Here are the stats on the Hellwalker:

  • +57% Weapon Damage
  • +10% Critical Hit Damage
  • +35% Reload Speed
  • Consumes 2 ammo per shot
  • Highly effective vs. Flesh
