BL4 Wombo Combo location and farming
This weapon is primarily obtained by targeting a boss trio known as the Rippa Roadbirds located at the Saw's Clench drill site in the Ruined Sumplands region of Carcadia Burn. To reach this boss fight, players must first clear waves of mobs that spawn before the trio appears.

The fight takes place inside an arena that is part of the Ripper Drill Site called Saw's Clench. After defeating the Rippa Roadbirds — consisting of Baby Grunt, Gruntabulous Vork, and Lil' Grunt — the Wombo Combo assault rifle has a high chance to drop. If the drops are not satisfactory, Moxxi's Big Encore machine nearby allows players to restart the fight to farm the weapon repeatedly.

The Wombo Combo fires a kinetic explosive rocket from its underbarrel every five bullets, dealing significant area damage regardless of the weapon's elemental type. This makes stacking elemental damage on the primary shots and increasing fire rate beneficial for maximizing its damage output.
How to farm Wombo Combo at Saw's Clench
Step 1: Fast travel to the Ruined Sumplands region
Start by traveling to the Ruined Sumplands in Carcadia Burn, where the Saw's Clench drill site is located.

Step 2: Locate Saw's Clench Ripper Drill Site
Head north within Ruined Sumplands to find Saw’s Clench marked as a drill site on the map.
Step 3: Clear waves of mobs to summon the Rippa Roadbirds
Enter the arena and fight multiple waves of enemies. Only after clearing these mobs will the Rippa Roadbirds boss trio spawn.

Step 4: Defeat Baby Grunt, Gruntabulous Vork, and Lil' Grunt (Rippa Roadbirds)
Focus on defeating the trio. They guard the Wombo Combo drop.

Step 5: Use Moxxi’s Big Encore machine to respawn
If the Wombo Combo does not drop, spend some cash at Moxxi’s Big Encore machine nearby to re-challenge the Rippa Roadbirds.
Step 6: Repeat the process until the Wombo Combo drops
The drop is random but with a high chance from this boss encounter, so repeat this farming loop as needed.
