Pearlescent Ripper SMG, the headline drop from the Subjugator and Thol raid arriving May 28, 2026. Verify element and stats in-game once live.
Card numbers (damage, fire rate, magazine) scale with your level and roll, so we don't list fixed stats for this weapon — check the in-game item card on your drop.
Drops from: Subjugator and Thol the Invincible in Endgame raid (Version 1.7). Drop rate: Pearlescent - 15% legendary chance (+2% per UVH Rank) (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.

This drop can roll with different elements (or none) depending on the instance, so confirm the element on your copy in-game. Match it to the target: shock for shields, corrosive for armor, fire for flesh.
The natural fit for Jail-Broken Gatling is Amon for crit ramp; Vex for backstab burst. Stack the relevant capstone before farming the deeper raid tiers — the build planner at /builder/ lets you preview the synergy.
A pearlescent smg like Jail-Broken Gatling earns its spot when the rest of your kit covers the gaps it leaves. Pair it with a longer-range crit weapon for ranged engagements. See our walkthroughs for boss-by-boss build recommendations.

Sourcing note. Drop source and drop-rate figures on this page come from official 2K patch notes and established community boss guides (MentalMars, Fextralife, game8). We deliberately do not publish fixed card stats or invented element rolls — those scale with your level and instance, so verify them on your own drop. See how we source drop data for details.
