The hunt for legendary gear is at the heart of the Borderlands experience. In Borderlands 4, few prizes are as sought-after as the Queen's Rest, a devastatingly powerful legendary pistol known for its blistering fire rate and explosive potential. If you're looking to add this crown jewel to your arsenal, you'll need to topple a formidable monarch.
This guide provides a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough on how to find the boss that drops the Queen's Rest, strategies for defeating her, and a full breakdown of the weapon's impressive capabilities.
Where to Find the Queen's Rest: Farming Callis, the Ripper Queen
The Queen's Rest is an exclusive world drop from a specific endgame boss:
Callis, the Ripper Queen. Obtaining this weapon requires a two-phase approach, involving both the main story and post-game content.
Step 1: The Initial EncounterYour first meeting with Callis is tied to the main story campaign. You will automatically face her as the primary antagonist of the tenth story mission,
"Her Flaming Vision." Completing this mission is mandatory to progress the narrative and unlock the endgame systems necessary for farming. Defeating her here will grant your first chance at the Queen's Rest, though the drop is not guaranteed.
Step 2: Re-farming via Moxxi's Big EncoreTo farm Callis efficiently, you must use
Moxxi's Big Encore machine. This device, located in the
Moon-Called Throne on
Fallen Crown Island (within the
Carcadia Burn region), allows you to replay boss fights for a cash fee.
- Travel to the Moon-Called Throne.
- Interact with Moxxi's Big Encore machine.
- Navigate the menu to select Callis, the Ripper Queen.
- Pay the in-game currency to activate the fight and be transported to her arena.

- Keeping Your Distance: Use the arena's geometry for cover against her lunging attacks.
- Elemental Advantages: Experiment with Corrosive or Radiation damage to break through her defenses quickly.
- Add Control: Prioritize eliminating her summoned minions to avoid being overwhelmed, then focus fire on her.
