Borderlands 4 is known for letting players customize builds to face bosses effectively, and Sidney Pointylegs is an excellent boss to optimize for. Given Sidney’s three distinct health bars—shield, armor, and red health—you need weapons that can consistently damage all three or a mix of weapons to cover all bases.
Jakobs guns are especially effective due to their ricochet effect—each bullet can hit multiple targets or Sidney’s weak points. This makes them ideal for both the boss and any minor enemies. Pairing this with the Beam Tosser underbarrel attachment helps maximize damage on Sidney’s large body.
Beyond weapons, it’s important to tune your character skills. For example, Rafa’s APOPHIS Lance with the First Impression skill doubles the damage of Noisy Cricket shots, turning a small pistol into a damage monster. Similarly, Amon’s Endless Bombardment enhances the Disc Jockey’s damage output for sustained fights.
By carefully selecting weapons, attachments, and skills, fighting Sidney becomes less of a chore and more of an engaging game of strategy. For anyone looking to farm Sidney effectively, building around these elements offers the most rewarding experience in Borderlands 4. You can learn more now from u4gm.com.
