How to Get Mad Moxxi‘s Bad Touch SMG in Borderlands 2: The Ultimate Guide

Hello fellow Vault Hunter! As a hardcore Borderlands enthusiast and expert gamer, I‘m here to provide the ultimate guide to acquiring one of the most coveted guns in Borderlands 2 – the infamous Mad Moxxi‘s Bad Touch.

This unique corrosive SMG packs a powerful punch and melts through enemies like no other. However, obtaining it requires some specific steps. Read on for my comprehensive guide to getting your hands on this top-tier weapon!

What Exactly is the Bad Touch?

For those unaware, the Bad Touch is an exceptional Legendary SMG manufactured by Maliwan that can only be acquired by tipping Moxxi a total of $10,000 at her bar in Sanctuary. Here‘s a quick rundown of its stats:

• Highly accurate with a very fast fire rate
• Corrosive elemental effect with a high chance to proc
• Extremely high damage output – the highest of any SMG
• The red text "I don‘t need to be on top to know I‘m worth it" is a classic Moxxi innuendo

This gun is Moxxi‘s "second favorite" and for good reason. It melts armored enemies and deals insane damage numbers, especially for an SMG.

Additionally, given Moxxi‘s…flirtatious personality, it‘s no surprise the flavor text contains sexual references. In fact, "Bad Touch" itself is an innuendo, implying there‘s some naughtiness associated with how you get the gun. More on that soon!

Why You Want the Bad Touch

Simply put, the Bad Touch is an absolute beast:

• It outdamages every other SMG during the first playthrough
• The high corrosive effect chance destroys armored enemies
• It remains viable even into late/end game due to the high damage
• The accuracy allows you to efficiently land critical hits

If you want an SMG that destroys loaders, bullymongs, varkids, and other tough foes, the Bad Touch is your gun. It‘s especially effective against Hyperion enemies thanks to the corrosive element.

Additionally, given you can only obtain it once per playthrough, it‘s worthwhile grabbing the max level version each time you start TVHM or UVHM.

So in summary, the Bad Touch‘s sheer power and rarity make it a must-have weapon for any serious Vault Hunter.

How to Get Moxxi to Give You the Bad Touch

As mentioned, the Bad Touch can only be attained by tipping Moxxi. Here‘s exactly how it works:

• You‘ll find Moxxi‘s tip jar located on the counter at her bar in Sanctuary.
• You can tip her in increments of either $100 or $1,000.
• In total, you must tip Moxxi at least $10,000 before she rewards you with the Bad Touch.
• Moxxi will mail you the gun, so check your in-game mailbox to collect it.

I‘d recommend only tipping Moxxi once you‘ve reached the max level cap (50 in normal mode) to get the most powerful version. If playing in True Vault Hunter Mode, wait until level 50 again before tipping.

The reason being the gun‘s stats scale to your level when Moxxi mails it to you. You want the best possible Bad Touch, so patience pays off here!

Maximizing Your Bad Touch

Here are some tips to get the most out of Moxxi‘s naughty gift:

• As mentioned, only collect after hitting the max level cap in each playthrough.
• Equip skills that boost SMG damage like Money Shot and Close Enough.
• Use relics or class mods that increase fire rate since the Bad Touch excels there.
• Focus your skill points into gun damage rather than melee or grenades.
• Slag enemies first then switch to the Bad Touch for massive damage.

By optimizing your build, you can get the most bang, so to speak, out of this exceptional SMG Moxxi provides.

How to Farm for the Bad Touch

Given you can only obtain the Bad Touch once per character, you may be wondering if there‘s a way to farm it. Thankfully there is!

Here is the best farming method:

• Have a high level character (level 50-72) host a game.
• Join that game with a brand new level 1 character.
• Fast travel to Sanctuary and tip Moxxi $10,000.
• She will mail you a Bad Touch scaled to the host character‘s level.
• Simply repeat the process to farm unlimited max level Bad Touches!

So by utilizing a high level host, you can repeatedly farm Moxxi for Bad Touches by creating new characters. It‘s a bit time consuming but the best way to obtain multiples of this awesome SMG.

Is the Bad Touch Really Worth It?

Considering the specific steps required to get Moxxi to hand over her naughty gun, you may be wondering if it‘s worth the effort.

Let me tell you: it absolutely is!

The Bad Touch is a top-tier corrosive SMG that will carry you through the entire first playthrough and beyond. The sheer damage and accuracy make it a joy to use.

Additionally, given the quirky methods needed to obtain it, there‘s a fun metagame surrounding Moxxi‘s saucy reward. It‘s just not Borderlands without some risqué humor after all!

So in summary friend, grease Moxxi‘s palms generously in order to get her prized Bad Touch SMG. You won‘t regret it. This gun is wicked fun and demolishes enemies like no other. That‘s all my expert advice but the rest is up to you.

Now get to tipping those $100s and $1,000s! Moxxi eagerly awaits to provide her sexy SMG if you know what I mean. Good luck and happy hunting!
