Issue #18 · Published: 11/14/2026 · Week of 11/8/2026 – 11/14/2026

This is an unofficial fan-made recap and is not affiliated with Gearbox Software, 2K, or Take-Two Interactive.

Pango & Bango is the Big Encore boss this week, and the Wildcard Mission pays out Boomslang. The official post is short, so the rolls we logged on November 8 make up the back half.

Our hands-on data

These are single drops from our own character, logged on November 8. One roll does not show the full range.

ItemTypeLvLogged value
Golden GodShotgun341,302 DPS
Lead BalloonShotgun341,417 DPS
Lead BalloonShotgun341,279 DPS
FirewerksShield342,762 capacity
FirewerksShield342,485 capacity

Two Lead Balloons at the same level differ by about 140 DPS, and two Firewerks differ by about 280 capacity. If you are farming for a good roll, do not judge from a single drop. Effects are covered in our Golden God, Lead Balloon and Firewerks reviews.

Boomslang (Wildcard reward)

Our Boomslang review describes its Bullet Pollinator effect: the first critical hit after a reload ricochets a sticky projectile to up to 3 nearby enemies.

We have not logged a roll of it, so DPS and other numbers are not measured and we are not guessing at them. We will update once we have a drop on record.
