Soon all was lost and the survivors awoke to very different world – one without leadership. As the leaders of the city-states were picked off, surrender became more commonplace. The fight continued for days, weeks, even months as armies stood their ground or castles settled in for siege, but the spirit of the Accord of Nations was broken. The Scourge continued its advance across the land, enveloping every nation of the Accord. Then followed Drengfold’s Guardian, Jotan, the Reapers dragging him down, and one by one the objects of the Accord nation’s worship were brought low. To the horror of all witnesses, in a moment that would echo down the ages, the Castanni Guardian, Foi Mata, fell, her body swarmed over by the Scourge. The Scourge seemed endless as they filled the gaps created and as the sun set they unleashed the Butchers of Ilac – their invincible Reapers. Fired by righteous fury they rent great holes in the enemy swarm, slaying thousands. They fell on the Scourge like an avalanche from a holy mountain. As the sun rose on the second day it brought with it an army of revered Guardians, servants of their god, The Elder.

For what purpose the Scourge seek this mineral is unknown.Īt the height of the invasion when the battle hung in the balance, hundreds of priests gathered in the Basilica Annata in Ilac to perform a day-long holy ritual. It is extremely rare, and to date only a few small veins have been found. They dig for a green mineral known as Petrum. Survivors from across the continent became slaves, and The Escari set them to work gathering food or working to their deaths in a massive mine on Ilac land. On the darkest day of the Invasion the people of the capital, Ilac, were massacred, the city burned. Today they are slaves to the Scourge, overseen by their canine allies, the Escari. Once they were a mighty power in the region. The perk kicks back in again after the weapon shield is fully powered up.The Accord of Nations is an alliance of eleven city-states whose leaders have signed an ancient treaty, binding them together in fate. This pretty much doubles your damage output, making the first few shots from it hugely effective, although this stops when the shield takes damage. The main perk of the Smog is that while you are aiming down sites, and the Hyperion shield is at max capacity, you will get a bonus to the damage. The Smog can drop with any of the following elements, or with no element, making it a solid option for builds as you can simply switch the weapon for a new element type when you need to.

Like all Legendary weapons in the game, drop chances get higher as the difficulty goes up, so people playing True Vault Hunter Mode at higher Mayhem levels will have the best chance to get it.

The Smog can drop when Scourge is killed, but this is a random loot drop.

Scourge is the effective raid boss of the Takedown, so you will want to be well-armed to take him out. While you can jump straight from the campaign into the Takedown, it is advisable to level up first and farm some better weapons. Once the campaign is finished, you can go and visit Tannis in the Med Bay on Sanctuary III, and interact with the blue crystal on the shelf directly across the from the main door. You only gain access to the Takedown at the Guardian Breach after you have finished the main story. You can get the weapon as a random drop from Scourge the Invincible Martyr in the Takedown at the Guardian Breach. The Smog is a Legendary Hyperion SMG that is available in Borderlands 3.
