To obtain the Reflux Shotgun in Borderlands 3, you must be at or above Mayhem Level 6 and have completed the mission ‘The Family Jewel’.

This powerful shotgun can be farmed from GenIVIV, a boss located on the Voracious Canopy map on Planet Eden-6. Since GenIVIV has robust shields and armor, utilizing shock and radiation damage is essential to breach her defenses.

After defeating GenIVIV for the first time and finishing ‘The Family Jewel’ mission, return to the area to confront GenIVIV again. The Reflux Shotgun will then be available as a potential drop from this boss, although the drop rate is relatively low.

However, the effort will undoubtedly feel rewarding once you finally secure this weapon. The Reflux Shotgun will prove invaluable against waves of enemies or powerful adversaries such as the Jabbermogwai.
