Long time lurker, first time posting since the heat death of the previous universe.
Pretty simple question for those hip to the grind.
Where do I go these days to try to get a hold of the skullmasher?
Be warned… Unrequited desire for this thing killed me the last 277 times I played…
So if you say “son of mothrakk” I beg you to post a time-stamped notarized video as proof that he drops it… Preferably not through the floor but at this point I would probably even settle for that.
I know someone recently got his from Rakkanoth - but you need to Read-Only farm the mission (after retrieving the fireworks). I think Joltz has a vid about it.
Never have I ever gotten a S’masher from Mothrakk. It’s so cursed.
I’ve gotten the Skullmasher as a world drop and as loot from Dahl red chests so there is that if you’re interested. Edit: just checked my mule chart and I have 6 of them- 2 level 68’s, a level 67, an OP5, OP6 and Op8 so it shouldn’t be that hard to get…

I recently farmed it from Rakkanoth, using a sort of PS4 Dashboard method. I’ve been able to get it to drop about 4-5 times.
My first “farming session” was quite successful but subsequent sessions have proven to be somewhat painful.
Even with Rakkanoth the loot can be thrown out of bounds and possibly fall through the map. That said it only takes a couple of minutes to farm if staged correctly.
Again, that’s on PS4, but what I understand of PC read-only farming it’s somewhat similar.

Do you have a specific character you use for farming Rakkanoth? Also, what strategy do you use to make it as quick as possible while trying to keep the loot drop in bounds?

I use a Zer0 and a Fire Lyuda and start “The Rakk Dahlia murders” Complete the quest up to the point that you summon Rakkanoth, then save and quit.(it’s here I imagine PC players would set their file to Read-Only)
When starting back, Rakk spawns immediately and almost in front of you. I try to kill him while he is over the dropoff. If he circles around over the buildings and you kill him it’s near impossible to recover dropped loot. You definitely want it to fall down into the water. There have been a couple times I’ve been unable to find the loot. Usually, however, you can see the orange glow of the falling Skullmasher.
If you can’t find the Skullmasher, dashboard out and re-start the game and repeat the process. If he does drop it collect the goods. I give it to a mule then dashboard if it does’t have parts/prefixes I want.
I also do some USB save gymnastics but I’m not sure if that’s something that’s allowed to be discussed here. (You have to do similar things to get a set of pimpernels or sandhawks)
Hope all that made sense.
Edit: Also, while searching for the Skullmasher there are usually 2 boats that come around full of savages and they can be a pain. It’s definitely not the easiest farm, but it’s not the hardest either.
So I guess feel ashamed for having either forgotten about or never heard of rakkanoth…
I’m really glad I asked you guys because coming back from a long hiatus to suffer through mothrakk’s stingy shenanigans would have been kinda risky for me… Think coffin nails that have been bent straight…
Thrice…
But I have a path now so I am looking forward to it.
