There are several reasons why players can easily be convinced to spend time farming the legendary Hellwalker shotgun in Borderlands 3. Firstly, the Jakobs-manufactured shotgun has one of the highest damage and shortest reload times in BL3. Secondly, every blast has enough power to knock back enemies to keep them at a distance. Thirdly, its incendiary pellets punch through shields and eat armor to get to the flesh for increased damage. Lastly, and most importantly, the Hellwalker is an Easter egg reference to the double-barreled super shotgun from the critically acclaimed 2016 Doom reboot.
