Are you starving for the legendary pistol Psycho Stabber which is only dropped from the miniboss Borman Nates? But wait! You don’t even know its location.
Borman nates is a Named Enemy which is inspired by a character called Norman Nates from the 1959 Novel Psycho by Roman Bloch. Though it was a rare spawn Gearbox Software changed its spawn rate to 100%.
I was extremely fascinated by him and was looking for this psycho miniboss. After searching for hours, I finally found him. I farmed him and was rewarded with some legendary weapons.
So, don’t skip any part as I’m going to discuss in detail everything about Borman Nates.
Where Can you find Borman Nates?
Do you know Gearbox Software has changed the spawn rate of Borman Nates from rare spawn to spawn rate 100% in Borderlands 3? All you need to know is the location where you can find this miniboss to farm him.
Here is the guideline to find Borman Nates in Borderlands 3:
You will find Borman Nates on Promethea world’s Meridian Outskirts map. This world has been sieged by the Maliwan and they have turned this beautiful world into a catastrophic warzone.
You have to spawn at Meridian Outskirts and look for a Military Nonproliferation Center. Here you will meet a character named Ziff. She will ask you to make an investigation into a murder. You have to find the people responsible for this mystery murder.
You have to visit the place where the murder incident happened. There is a bridge and the murder took place at its bottom part. You have to search for a clue or any evidence which can lead you to the killer.
After finishing the investigation, go to your supply vehicle. Two names will come into your mind.
Rax and Max are the two suspects in this mystery murder. When you will share your thoughts with Ziff, she will then ask you to kill anyone between them. Killing both will have the same impact as you won’t get any weapons or shield from them.
They can be found under the bridge. If you’re lucky, you’ll find Borman Nates here after you’ve killed them. Under the bridge, there is an elevator. You must park your supply van and climb up from here.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator because it will take longer. You must proceed forward to the upper deck once you have made your way up. Borman Nates will spawn midway through the game. You will find him in the COV camp northwest of the Fort Pissof station.
