Where to find Mimicron

Mimicron lives in the Tipping Point Order Bunker inside Idolator’s Noose, a sub‑region of the Fadefields. The bunker door starts locked, and getting to the arena is a short environmental puzzle rather than a straight run‑and‑gun hallway.

How to reach the Tipping Point arena

  • 1) Get to Tipping Point (Idolator’s Noose, Fadefields). You’ll see a locked main entrance.
  • 2) Use the vents. From the door, head left to a ventilation shaft. Crawl through to reach a side passage and a door on the right.
  • 3) Grab the explosive. Climb up, pick up the explosive device, and throw it at the bunker’s main entrance to blast it open.
  • 4) Power the console. Inside, you’ll hit another locked door. Find the nearby power capsule and slot it into the adjacent console.
  • 5) Unlock and advance. Hit the console button to open the door and continue to a tall, seemingly dead‑end elevator shaft.
  • 6) Climb to the top. Scale the shaft walls to the upper level. Mimicron waits on the top floor.

Mimicron dedicated drops

Mimicron has a tight loot pool of three dedicated legendaries. These are the items you’re farming for:

Item Type Manufacturer Legendary effect
Complex Root Sniper Rifle Maliwan Sierpinski — main projectile spawns diverging fractal shots for broad multi‑hit coverage.
Luty Madlad SMG Daedalus Homemade Ingenuity — overheats in short bursts but cools extremely fast; continuous high‑rate fire without a traditional magazine.
UAV Grenade Ordnance Tediore Death From Above — summons a homing drone that rains explosives on clustered targets.

There’s also a red chest before the purple teleport orb that respawns each attempt, offering extra rolls at world drops while you farm.

Fight overview (what Mimicron does)

Mimicron is a replicator. It spawns shielded copies that complicate sightlines and chip away while you focus the boss. The main body runs both shields and armor, so the efficient path is simple:

  • Strip its shields with Shock damage.
  • Swap to Corrosive or Cryo to chew through armor once the blue bar is gone.

Expect a multi‑phase feel as clones appear and reappear. Keep moving to avoid overlapping fire and area denial from the adds.

Efficient farming loop

Once you down Mimicron, a purple orb appears in the arena that teleports you back to the boss entrance for instant resets. Right nearby, Moxxi’s Big Encore machine lets you pay to restart the fight without leaving the bunker. Together, the teleporter, respawning red chest, and the Encore machine turn Mimicron into a compact, low‑friction farm you can run repeatedly.

Loadout and tactics that work

  • Delete the copies fast. Clear the shielded clones immediately so you can track the real target and avoid split aggro.
  • Element swap on cue. Use Shock to remove shields, then switch to Corrosive or Cryo for the armor. Don’t waste a full Shock mag on yellow bars.
  • Play corners and height. Use the bunker’s cover and vertical elements to break line of sight with clones and control angles on the boss.
  • Stay mobile. Strafing and short slides reduce chip damage from multiple sources and keep you clear of overlapping explosions.

Why farm Mimicron early

The arena is quick to reach after you learn the route, the respawn loop is immediate, and the loot table is tightly focused. Complex Root offers wide coverage from a single sniper shot, Luty Madlad shreds with aggressive uptime despite its heat, and UAV gives you a set‑and‑forget ordnance that punishes clustered mobs. If you want early, repeatable runs for useful legendaries with minimal travel time, Mimicron is built for it.

Once you’ve memorized the vent path and the elevator climb, a full clear and reset takes just a few minutes. That cadence makes Mimicron one of the simplest early anchors for gearing up in the Fadefields.
