In Borderlands 3 there is a new weapon called the Yellowcake that can deal huge damage. Where can you find the currently strongest cannon?
This is the Yellowcake: The Yellowcake is a rocket launcher manufactured by the Children of the Vault. Accordingly, it does not have a magazine in the typical sense, but overheats with heavy use. However, the heavy weapon does not need too many shots.
The Yellowcake was introduced with the new update as part of the “Revenge of the Cartels” event. It fires a projectile that splits multiple times, causing extra damage – in ridiculously high numbers. The rocket launcher always comes with radiation elemental damage and distributes it thanks to its explosion radius to plenty of enemies.
The cannon is also capable of melting bosses in high Mayhem levels with a single shot – as fans have already noted on reddit:
Finding Yellowcake – where is the rocket launcher?
You can find the Yellowcake here: You can acquire the Yellowcake during the cartel event, provided that bugs are not hindering your gameplay too much.
On one hand, cartel boss Joey Ultraviolet drops the Yellowcake when you defeat him in the villa. Also, underboss Tyrone Smallums can drop the rocket launcher, just like “FISH SLAP!”, which you can also encounter outside the villa. If you’re on the hunt for the launcher, the Ultraviolet villa is the most rewarding place to search.
You can reach the Villa Ultraviolet by defeating cartel gangsters for Maurice throughout the galaxy. They drop coordinates that you can use to teleport to the villa. There, with a bit of luck, you can find the weapon.
However, it is possible that the Yellowcake will be nerfed a bit in the coming weeks. This is what happened with the “ION Cannon”, which was incredibly strong at release. However, it is still useful and dangerous – the Yellowcake rocket launcher will likely remain a powerful weapon.
