Accuracy and Recoil on Hyperion Weapons

Shooting Hyperion Weapons moves them from Max Inaccuracy and high kick to Max Accuracy and no kick.
Unlike other weapons, recoil does not affect the kick of Hyperion Weapons.
Having lower Recoil achieves Max Accuracy faster.
Having higher Recoil Recovery slows the loss of accuracy after shooting stops.

Farming Preparations

  1. Identify the Best Source: The Sources below are generally ranked from best to worst. Make sure to complete any required quests and be aware of Source Restrictions.
  2. Locate the Source: Make sure you have unlocked the Location.
  3. Equip Your Character: Equip your character to easily overcome enemies.
  4. Set Spawn Point: Find the closest:
    • Fast Travel Station: Save the game by toggling Badass Rank.
    • Map Entry: Make a quick round-trip through the entry to save.

Bonus Tips

  • Track Progress: Track your runs to more precisely predict drops and more clearly monitor progress. Additionally, time your runs to see how tweaks affect your farming efficiency.
  • Speed it up: Explore shortcuts and boost your movement speed to minimize travel time. Also, aim to shorten your time to kill with higher DPS or big damage bursts.
  • Realistic Expectations: Be patient and persistent when farming. Despite precise, verified drop rates, your actual runs might exceed or fall short of inferred expectations.
