Legendary Weapons Guide – Borderlands 2
This guide will help you obtain all legendary weapons added to Borderlands 2 with the new Command Lilith & the Fight of Sanctuary DLC.
Amigo Sincero
Let’s start with the easiest legendary weapon to obtain. Amigo Sincero is a sniper rifle that boasts 50% melee damage bonus as it comes equipped with a bayonet. Apart from that, it will give you 250% weapon damage as well. With such huge damage bonuses, whether you stick to the melee attacks, or switch to ranged combat, you will get bonuses for both.
To begin your hunt for this legendary sniper rifle, star by heading to The Backburner and speak with Brick. Brick will give you the quest BFFFs which requires you to kill four Lieutenants in different locations. All four will be marked on your map. You need to take down Tetra, Hoffman, Angvar, and Bolson.
Once you have killed all four, bring back the components to Brick. Make sure that you loot the bodies of the dead Lieutenants for the parts that you need. Return to Brick and he will ask you to deliver the present to Mordecai. Deliver the present to Mordecai and head back to Brick to get Amigo Sincero from him. This is one down.

Hector’s Paradise
You cannot obtain this legendary weapon right from the start. You must have completed Chapter 4 and you will finally get access to it in Mt. Scarab Research Center in Chapter 5. This legendary pistol comes with an added bayonet as well however it also comes with 15% Electrocute chance with which it can deal Shock damage to enemies per second. It is super effective against shielded enemies.
To start the quest, head to Mt. Scarab Research Center and while heading there, you will find a quest marker on the left side after going down the stairs. Find the dead body here and interact with its Echo that will help you start the hunt for Hector’s Paradise. With the first Echo in your hand, you are tasked with finding three more Echoes in the facility. The remaining three Echoes are located in the Candidate Detention Room, Experimentation Room, and Observation Deck.
In the Candidate Detention Room, kill all the enemies and a door to a cell will open which has the Echo in it. Collect it. Now make your way to the Experimentation Room where you will find another dead body above the meat grinder. Collect the Echo. For the final Echo, head to the Observation Deck where you must get access to a walkway. Head up the stairs and use the ladder to get to the walkway and collect the final Echo.
After collecting all four Echoes, make your way back to the Observation Room and get to the new room using the stairs. Inside this room, you will find a safe. Break it open with melee to complete the quest and obtain Hector’s Paradise, your brand new legendary pistol. Check it out in action in the video below by lil_bleachbottle.
Overcompensator
The last legendary weapon in the DLC is the Overcompensator and it is also the best one. This legendary shotgun comes with a damage multiplier along with a 4.4x weapon zoom. It is one of the most accurate shotguns in the game with an insane amount of damage and an excellent weapon zoom. It will also keep you motivated throughout the fights so fans who have played Tales from the Borderlands will remember this amazing gun.
You can only obtain this legendary shotgun once you have completed the final mission of the DLC. The quest that unlocks this gun is Chief Executive Overlord however you might need to complete a few more quests in order to make it spawn. Vaughn will give you the quest Chief Executive Overlord.

You do not have to do much for this gun as you are simply tasked with speaking with Moxxi, Ellie, Brick, Marcus, and Claptrap. In this very order. Once done, head back to Vaughn who will now task you with finding his Artifact of Power. Head to Helios Fallen and look for the washing machine at the waypoint.
