Borderlands 3 How to Get the Gun Gun, Eridian Fabricator

The Eridian Fabricator is a gun that shoots other guns. Known as the Gun Gun, players can earn the gun by completing a specific challenge in the game.  Once you’ve got the Eridian Fabricator you’ll be able to use it basically outfit your entire arsenal.  Unlike other guns though, the Gun Gun requires that you use Eridium as ammunition.

You will get the Gun Gun during the Footsteps of Giants Mission

Depending on how you’re progressing through Borderlands 3 you’ll get the weapon when you around level 30+.  When you get to the story mission “Footsteps of Giants” you will meet an NPC along the course of the story that has the Eridian Fabricator GUN GUN and they will offer to use it to shoot guns out for you if you give them Eridium.

However, they will then ask you to accompany them on a mission.  After completing this mission the NPC will hand over the weapon and you will be free to equip it and use it.

This Gun fires other guns instead of bullets and requires Eridium to use

Once you’ve got your hands on the Gun Gun you’ll find that it indeed shoots guns instead of bullets, and will fire out 10 guns for every 10 Eridium used.  It requires that you have at least 10 Eridium to use it.

At this point in the story you will already have the ability to farm eridium, so you should have plenty to keep firing the Gun Gun until you’ve built up a big arsenal of weapons.
