In Borderlands 3, to defeat Killavolt, target his physical shield with a high-damage weapon. Once he kneels and his head is exposed, switch to incendiary weapons. Use non-elemental or radiation weapons, as he is immune to shock damage. The Transformer shield can reduce the shock damage from Killavolt's attacks.

Notes
- Naturally, Killavolt is immune to shock damage.
- Killavolt is the only drop source for the legendary 9-Volt submachine gun and has an increased chance to drop the legendary Transformer shield.
- Killavolt has a chance of dropping The Monarch at Mayhem 6 and above.
- Killavolt is often seen wielding a copy of the 9-Volt which has a much longer laser sight beam than normal variants. However, on higher Mayhem levels, he will be using The Monarch more often.
Trivia
- Shooting Killavolt in the groin will score a critical hit. Doing this will cause the word 'DICKED' to appear rather than 'CRITICAL', in an allusion to Moxxi telling the Vault Hunter to shoot Killavolt in the dick.
- Hits scored this way function in the same way as regular critical hits.
