Drops from: Divisioner (secondary) in Wireworks Bunker. Drop rate: 8-12% (community-reported).
Plan a 30-60 minute farm session at this drop rate. The most efficient route is to run the boss back-to-back with a fast-clear build; loot pile rolls every 6 kills on average.

Shock damage strips shields fastest in BL4 and chains to nearby targets via Harlowe's Voltage tree. Mediocre against fully fleshed-out raid bosses.
The natural fit for Broken Prism is Harlowe's Voltage tree. Stack the relevant capstone before farming the deeper raid tiers — the build planner at /builder/ lets you preview the synergy.
A legendary pistol like Broken Prism earns its spot when the rest of your kit covers the gaps it leaves. Cover ranged combat with a precision rifle and short-range with a Tediore reload throw. See our walkthroughs for boss-by-boss build recommendations.
