Borderlands 4's latest Bounty Pack 1 – "How Rush Saved Mercenary Day" – drops a holiday bombshell with the Rooker, an Order-manufactured legendary sniper rifle that's rewriting endgame rules. This bad boy doesn't just poke holes; it launches homing needles from its underbarrel alt-fire that relentlessly track and shred your aim target, turning boss fights into highlight-reel executions. I've melted raid behemoths and world bosses with single critical pops – it's the sniper we've been craving since launch!
Gearbox nailed the festive Vault Card vibe, blending free challenges with god-tier loot. Snag your Rooker today and watch the loot rain.

At level 50, Rooker's packing 2,962 base damage, 85% accuracy, 15-round mag, and a snappy 2.0 fire rate for 4,473 DPS. Shock or Physical elements shine, but that alt-fire steals the show: Two homing needles lock on your crosshair enemy, dealing sustained havoc – perfect for bosses with adds.
