How to Get the Bee Shield in Borderlands 2

Last Updated: June 3, 2021

The Bee Shield is an extremely rare Legendary Shield in Borderlands 2 that offers high amp shot damage, improved shield recharge rate, increased recharge delay, and other features that can help protect your character. The Bee Shield is owned by Hunter Hellquist, who must be killed one or more times until his character drops the weapon.

Steps

1
Travel to Arid Nexus - Boneyard using the Fast Travel teleportation system.
2
Navigate east through Arid Nexus - Boneyard until you reach a structure called “Hyperion Truth Network.”
3
Walk over to the elevator located behind the structure. You’ll see a console with a red button and upward-pointing arrow.
4
Position your character on the elevator’s platform, then press the red button on the console. The red button will turn green, and the elevator will take you upward to the compound housing Hunter Hellquist.
5
Head to the right side of the compound and press the red button. This opens the side door to the compound.^{[1]

6
Walk into the compound and position yourself face to face with Hunter Hellquist.
7
Position Hunter’s head in your rifle scope, then shoot Hunter in the head. This kills Hunter, who will then drop one or more items, which may or may not include The Bee Shield.
- Save and quit your game after looting Hunter, and repeat steps #1 through #7 as many times as needed until Hunter drops The Bee Shield. This item is rare, and has an extremely low drop rate. You may need to repeat this particular quest 200 times or more to obtain The Bee Shield.
8
Pick up Hunter’s weapons and gear, then save and quit your gaming session. You have now acquired The Bee Shield.^{[2]
