Rowan's Call is a legendary assault rifle in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Jakobs. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source, but has an increased chance to drop from Red Rain located in Slaughterstar 3000.
Special Weapon Effects
Uh-oh!
- Fixed Gatlin' part and 20 round magazine. +300% weapon damage, -50% spread. -30% recoil height.
- Critical hits return 2 bullets to the magazine and ricochet 2 bullets at the nearest enemy.
Usage & Description
Rowan's Call is best utilized for mid-to-short range combat, as scoring successive critical hits will be easier this way. Sustained fire will cause high recoil which must be compensated for to ensure high damage and crowd control due to the enhanced ricochet effect. Multiple critical hits in rapid succession greatly increases the effective magazine capacity, potentially allowing for firing for extended periods without needing to reload.
Notes
Trivia
- The special effects (the ammo refill and the ricochet) are identical to that of Lucian's Call.
- The Rowan's Call, along with the King's Call and Queen's Call appear to be a unique brand of Jakob's weaponry with distinctly alien features, that add elemental weapon effects to otherwise non-elemental Jakobs weapons, and return ammo on critical hits.
- These weapon shares the same skin with Robin's Call.
- Despite being an assault rifle, the Rowan's Call uses the Alien SMG barrel.
- Rowan's Call is fired by rotating a hand-crank wheel on the side, similar to how real-life Gatling guns and trigger cranks work.
- The Lucian and Rowan weapons reference babies born to Gearbox employee Jett Sarrett during the game's production.[1]
