You'll find Borderlands 3 Wick and Warty in the Lectra City area of Promethea. If that name rings a bell it's because it's referencing Rick and Morty, in a cleverly hidden play on words. Kill them both and you'll be rewarded with the Borderlands 3 Redundant Savvy Phebert legendary shotgun. It's a handy weapon that returns any damage absorbed by its shield when you fire it. Here's how to find Borderlands 3 Wick and Warty bosses, and get the Redundant Savvy Phebert.

Borderlands 3 Wick and Warty location
In order to find Wick and Warty in Borderlands 3, you need to begin on Sanctuary. Over on the mission board where you can accept side missions, there's a chance a mission will appear called "Kill Wick and Warty". Subtle.
If it's not there, you simply have to play the waiting game because there's no guarantee of when it will appear. When you get it, accept it and head over to Lectra City on Promethea. Head to the quest marker to your right, and Wick and Warty should simply spawn in the vicinity.
Neither Wick nor Warty are particularly tough to kill, just make sure you avoid their warps and you'll be fine. When they die, you should get the Redundant Savvy Phebert legendary shotgun.
Redundant Savvy Phebert stats
(Image credit: 2K Games)The Redundant Savvy Phebert's unique selling point is that when aiming down the sights, any damage absorbed by the weapon shield amplifies the damage you deal. It consumes two ammo per shot but if you can absorb considerable damage, that plus the percentage damage increase means you'll be outputting some serious raw firepower.
Borderlands 3 has a lot of guns. Like, a serious amount of guns. We’re talking in the billions, apparently, even if there’s a fair bit of copy-pasting going on to bump the numbers. One weapon that packs a serious punch is the Redundant Savvy Phebert Hyperian Legendary Shotgun dropped by Wick & Warty, a pair whose name is a not so subtle Rick & Morty easter egg. First, you’ll need to kill them, though.
The mission that tasks you with killing Wick & Warty can be undertaken from the Sanctury Ship’s top-right area. You’ll find it on a Bounty Board.
Once you’ve accepted the mission it’s time to fast travel over to Lectra City, which is in Promethea. When you arrive, turn around and head up the stairs, following the ‘Contestants Only’ sign.
How to Kill Wick & Warty in Borderlands 3

First and foremost, keep your distance from the pair and stay as mobile as possible. Particularly so, given that in addition to Wick & Warty, other enemies will spawn in during the battle.
So obviously carry a few guns that can hit hard a distance. Snipers in particularly if you have good aim do a lot of damage in Borderlands 3. If it’s too chaotic to get consistent critical hits, auto rifles are a good alternative if you have a good one. Otherwise, use whatever are the best guns you got.
Importantly, you’ll notice green teleportation portal appear, and it’s essential you use them to stay mobile and out of danger. Keep your eyes peeled and be aware of where they are at all times.
You can actually tell where they will next appear by tracking where the green steak is going.
As a reward for killing Wick & Warty, you’ll get cash and the Redundant Savvy Phebert Hyperian Legendary Shotgun, but the latter will not always drop.
