How to defeat Killavolt in Borderlands 3

Choose the weapon with the most damage, useful over short or medium distance. Forgo sniper rifles for the fight. Although he protects himself with a shield, you should avoid weapons with shock damage in this fight. Killavolt is immune to them, since he attacks with shock damage himself.

One of his regular attacks is his rush. Dodge him so that he slams into the wall and is unprotected for a short time. This is the perfect time to land some direct hits on him. At this stage, you should switch to a weapon with fire damage.

Fire damage sets unarmored enemies on fire and provides long-lasting damage. For more on the elemental effects in Borderlands 3, check out the Borderlands 3 Tips Guide. His back and feet are his most vulnerable spots during the knockout phase. However, you shouldn't waste your time waiting for the perfect shot.

Even while his shield is up, he takes more damage from shots to his feet and back than from hits in other places. Heed Moxxi's words and hit him between his legs as often as possible. That's where his weakest point is. You will cause critical damage to him.

Especially efficient are weapons with area damage, which you can use to aim at his feet. Since direct hits through his shield are not possible, everything that does damage under and around him is worth its weight in gold. Also, keep placing your grenades under him to maximize your damage and finish the fight faster.
