Stats and Perks

The Black Hole shield is a reoccurring item in the Borderlands universe and it returns once again for Borderlands 3.

Its stats, like most of the equipment in Borderlands 3, are randomized and leveled to your character. However, like all legendary equipment, it has some extra perks.

It has the unique flavor text perk She’s Gone From Suck to Blow, a not so subtle reference a famous quote from the classic comedy, Space Balls.

When the Black Hole shield is depleted of energy, it sends a wave of force out from around your character, pushing back anything that’s around you.

If you’re getting swarmed by enemies, this isn’t a bad shield to have equipped as it will give you some breathing room and a chance to get away if that’s what you need to do.
