The
Chuck is a Legendary Assault Rifle from the Tediore manufacturer that fully embraces its iconic "throw your gun" reload mechanic. Unlike other Tediore weapons, the Chuck transforms this quirk into its primary source of devastating damage, making it a powerful and build-defining weapon.
How to Get the Chuck Assault Rifle
The Chuck has a dedicated drop source from two bosses, giving you options for farming.
- Primary Farm 1: Fractis
- Location: The Crawlcroft Order Bunker in Grindstone of the Worthy, Carcadia Burn.
- How to Farm: Defeat Fractis, then use the Moxxi's Big Encore Machine near the arena to respawn the boss and repeat the fight.
- Primary Farm 2: Foundry Freaks
- Location: The Pitted Stain Drill Site in the Fadefields.
- How to Farm: Defeat the Foundry Freaks boss encounter and use the nearby Moxxi's Encore Machine to fight them again.
Both bosses have an equal chance of dropping the Chuck, so it is recommended to farm whichever boss you can defeat more quickly and efficiently.
Legendary Effect: "Pitcher"
The Chuck’s unique legendary effect, "Pitcher," makes it a build-defining weapon. Its flavor text, "Go long!," hints at its true purpose.
- Enhanced Reload Throw: The Chuck’s reload-throw deals massively increased damage compared to a standard Tediore throw.
- Homing Projectile: When thrown, the weapon transforms into a homing projectile thatactively seeks out the nearest enemy, ensuring it rarely misses itstarget.
- High Magazine Multiplier: The damage of a Tediore throw is typically based on the amount of ammoremaining in the magazine. The Chuck applies a high damage multiplier to this calculation, making a full-magazine throw exceptionally powerful.
This legendary effect encourages a unique playstyle: use the assault riflemode to deal with weaker enemies or to apply a status effect, then"reload" to throw the gun for a massive burst of damage to finish offtougher opponents. This effectively turns your ammo reserves into a stockpile of high-impact grenades.
Best Builds and Usage Tips
The Chuck rewards an active playstyle centered around the reload-throw. To get the most out of it, you need to build your character and gear around this mechanic.
- Recommended Character Synergies:
- Tediore Specialists: Any character with skills that boost grenade damage, splash damage, orTediore reload-throw damage will see phenomenal returns. Characters with skills similar to Moze from Borderlands 3 or Rafa from Borderlands 4 are ideal.
- Ammo-Regeneration Builds: Since the Chuck consumes entire magazines for its primary damage,skills or class mods that regenerate ammo are invaluable for sustainingits use.
- Optimal Gear Pairings:
- Class Mod: A mod that boosts Assault Rifle Damage, Splash Damage, and Tediore Weapon Damage. A legendary class mod like the Grenazerker can give you additional throws, further increasing the weapon's damage output.
- Shield: A shield like The Bee (if available) can add massive amp damage to each reload throw, while a Brawler Ward can provide a bonus when your shield is depleted.
- Artifact: An artifact that increases Splash Damage Radius and Grenade Damage will further enhance the weapon's destructive power.
- Pro Combat Tips:
- The Full-Magazine Throw: For maximum damage, always throw the Chuck with a full magazine.Throwing it with less than a full magazine will result in a significantdamage loss.
- Ammo Management: This weapon consumes ammo at an alarming rate. Constantly pick up ammo drops and invest in Assault Rifle Ammo SDU upgrades.
- Boss Melting: The Chuck is exceptional for burning down bosses. Fire a single bulletto proc any on-fire effects or skills, then immediately throw the gunfor massive damage. Repeat this process until the boss is defeated.
