FearmongerHow to get it?

Bloody Harvest Event
General Farming Guidance

To collect and equip the Legendary Fearmonger, you need to own the BL3 Bloody Harvest Event.

Like all of the three Borderlands 3 events, Bloody Harvest is free and was added to the base game on June 24, 2021.
You can enable one of the three events at a time in the main menu ▸ Play.

To efficiently farm the exclusive Bloody Harvest items, follow these steps:

Accept Maurice's quest near Hammerlock's room on Sanctuary III.
Look for enemies with a yellow aura; they are possessed by a rare and rewarding Loot Ghost.
The best areas to farm Loot Ghosts and collect 25 Hecktoplasm are these enemy-dense locations:
- ‍Scraptrap Prime: The Scraptrap Nest is dense with enemies and easy to farm.
  To respawn all Scraptraps, simply stay on the outermost edge of the exit ledge for a short time.
- Voracious Canopy: You find a high enemy density at the map's entrance and by the waterfall in the Battleship Wreck.
- The Slaughter Shaft: Each round in the Slaughter Shaft spawns dozens of enemies.
Head to The Heck Hole and defeat Captain Haunt.

Note:
Enabling the Bloody Harvest event allows Terror Anointments to appear on any item.
If you don't want Terror Anoints, ensure the event is not active.
