Splashzone is one of the many boss battles you will encounter in Borderlands 4. Splashzone is a one-handed beast of a man, wielding a giant hammer-type weapon, capable of inflicting some serious damage with each swing. It also resorts to quick sprint boosts to cover up the distance you create and land mighty blows.

In this article, we will look at how to find and eliminate the Splashzone boss in Borderlands 4.

To begin the Splashzone boss battle, you will first need to head towards Riptide Grotto, which is located at Coastal Bonescape in the region of Fadefields. This boss will appear as part of the main mission ‘Recruitment Drive’. One of the most effective weapons you can use in this battle is incendiary types. These are capable of draining out the health bar of the Splashzone boss, especially considering that it is a flesh-type enemy.

Apart from that, you can also choose to use either Kinetic, Cryo, or a Radiation-type weapon if you do not have immediate access to Incendiary ones. During the battle, just be sure not to stick in one place to avoid being dashed at by his sprint bursts. You will also have access to explosive barrels all over the area. So you can lead the boss to a barrel and trap it within the radius of the barrel’s explosion.

If you wish to, you can also replay the mission using the Moxxi’s Big Encore Machine to gain more XP and get more legendary drops.
