Borderlands 3: How To Get The Infinity Pistol

We take a look at the uses and stats of the Infinity Pistol as well as where to farm for it.

Given all the action and chaos that can ensue in Borderlands 3, it's crucial to be equipped with a potent arsenal of weapons. Though it's also usually a good idea to be well-stocked when it comes to ammunition. After all, the barrage of enemies and tough bosses will often require loads of ammo to spam these targets with. Thankfully, when it comes to the appealing pistol fittingly called the "Infinity," this vital resource is a non-factor.

The fan-favorite weapon, which makes a welcomed return from Borderlands 2, remains a highly coveted gun; not so much for its sheer power, but for another highly useful perk that makes it very unique and valuable. We take a look at where to find it and why you'll want it.

What Is The Infinity Pistol?

The Infinity Pistol is a legendary gun crafted by Vladof. Compact and decorated with a figure-eight infinity (or lemniscate) symbol on the side, Vault Hunters can pick off the various BL3 baddies in style with this useful gun.

The weapon's key attribute is that it does not consume ammunition, making it a great fallback option when running low on precious ammo. The gun will never run out of ammo and won't reload, no matter how long you hold down the trigger. With this useful trait as well as other characteristics, the Infinity Pistol can be both a potent and resourceful pistol to have at your disposal.

This nifty weapon is by no means universal in its usefulness, but it can be very impactful under the right circumstances. It has plenty of strengths - even when disregarding its infinite ammo perk. Though there are also a few detriments wielders should be aware of. Here are its key attributes:

The weapon has a unique firing pattern that takes the form of a lemniscate figure. This pattern converges within the center of the sights but widens as it makes its way outward. This makes the Infinity Pistol far better for firing at close and medium range rather than long-range.
There is no recoil when firing, making it reliable and accurate as long as it's kept within a fairly close range.
It deals low damage per shot
A rapid fire rate gives it a respectable DPS, despite its relatively low damage output.
It has a fixed magazine capacity of one, with no reloading.
It can come with any elemental augmentation, or without one.
- This is a random occurrence, and there's no definitive way to control or determine which elemental type you get.
It often comes with boosts to weapon damage as well as weapon zoom.
It may drop with the various reload-based Anointments (special effect bonuses)
- One example is a variant-specific to Fl4k's Gamma Burst skill, which provides a hefty 65 percent bonus radiation damage while this skill is active.

How To Obtain The Infinity Pistol

The Infinity Pistol can technically be obtained from any loot source in the game, though as one might expect, it's a pretty rare find. These loot sources include defeating enemies, opening loot chests, as well as playing slot machines.
Some have reported finding this pistol as early in their run as Level 9, but generally speaking, this weapon is found deeper into the campaign.
As the Infinity Pistol is a rare, (mostly) random drop, it can never be a guaranteed find, and can't be found in a set location. Luckily, there are a few locations and foes that bump up the odds of finding one, assuming players wish to take the time to farm one:
- Playing in Mayhem Mode will increase your chances of finding an Infinity Pistol, as this more grueling campaign offers a greater amount of rare loot. The higher Mayhem tiers will increase the odds of finding one.
- Loot Tinks are a great choice for farming since, as their name indicates, they yield a liberal amount of loot. They can be found in the Servant's Lift region of Jakob's estate on the planet Eden-6. A Loot Tink will always lurk across the small wooden bridge in this area. This location is particularly handy as there is a respawn point near this bridge, allowing for optimal farming.
- It has an increased chance to drop from an Anointed Alpha, located in The Anvil on Eden-6. This is a fairly tough miniboss, but he is respawnable, making for another nice option for farming.
  - This foe's health is made of armor, which can take some time to chip away at. He uses a number of attacks, including a rather jarring move that puts him in an invincible barrier as he summons weaker copies of himself.
  - Usually, the Anointed Alpha will saunter towards you as he charges up a laser fired from his finger. Be sure to keep your distance and whittle away at his health, ideally with a shotgun, SMG, or assault rifle. Fast-firing Torgue weapons can also be quite useful here.
  - The dedicated drop rate for the Anointed Alpha is ten percent (which includes two other rare drops).
- Other bosses that have reportedly dropped this pistol at a relatively common clip are: Troy Calypso, Katagawa Jr, and Graveward. Readers can be directed towards a Katagawa Ball guide here, as well as the best methods for farming the Graveward here.
  - Generally speaking, there are respawn points fairly close to each of these bosses, and the bosses themselves respawn. Taking advantage of these, as well as mastering the behaviors and movesets of each boss, will allow you to farm them more effectively.
