A direct route to BNK-3R’s dedicated shield pool for players pursuing The Sham.

PC / Global, base game and released DLC

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

The Bunker in Thousand Cuts.

BNK-3R is the dedicated source to target when you want The Sham. The Bunker also has other drops, but no specific item is guaranteed. Once the story has opened the arena, save-quit resets let you fight the boss again without replaying the route through Thousand Cuts.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

Advance the main story until The Bunker is accessible.
Bring a loadout suited to a large flying Hyperion robot and its arena.

Travel to Thousand Cuts and enter The Bunker.
Follow the map route to BNK-3R’s arena.
Destroy BNK-3R and inspect the full drop pile for The Sham and other useful gear.
Collect what you want, then compare shields by level and stats before replacing equipped gear.
Save and quit to the main menu after sorting the drops.
Continue the character; the game returns you to the Bunker map for another encounter.

Farming tips

Treat The Sham as a chance-based dedicated drop, not a guaranteed reward.
Use the repeat runs to check the rest of the drop pile too, but keep the farm focused on the item you actually need.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeatable after reaching the Bunker: defeat BNK-3R, collect and sort loot, then save-quit and continue to reset.

Common mistakes

Expecting The Sham on every run; check the loot and reset if it does not appear.
Leaving the map before using the Bunker checkpoint loop; save-quit and continue to return nearby.
Keeping a lower-level shield automatically; compare its stats and fit for your build.
