Flipper a legendary submachine gun in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Maliwan and is exclusive to the Bounty of Blood DLC. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Minosaur located in Bloodsun Canyon.

Special Weapon Effects

Put one foot in front of the other.

• +60% weapon damage.
• Fires multiple projectiles within a diamond pattern. Constantly firing increases projectile per shot, up to x9 projectiles.
• As a Nebula, it deals splash damage but within a minimal radius of 5, and won't hurt the user.

Usage & Description

The projectile pattern and ammo efficiency of the Flipper make it suitable for close or medium-range combat, but can be unwieldy for crit-dependent builds unless facing an enemy with a large critical hit spot. As it deals splash damage that won't hurt the user, it is a solid and safe weapon choice for Moze.

Notes

• The Flipper will fire up to 9 projectiles in a 3x3 grid.

Trivia

• The weapon's name is referencing the 1963 children's film Flipper, and its subsequent sequels.
• The flavor text is referencing a line from the 1970 stop-motion television special Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town.
