For the respawnable mini-boss in Borderlands 3, see I'm Rakkman.

Rakkman is a psycho who lives in a cave with rakk after the death of his parents.

Appearances

Strategy

Rakkman is located in The Fridge and is accessible after completing the mission The Cold Shoulder. He can be found by traveling through the Rats Maze, which has been opened during the mission. There is an ECHO recording found along the way which details the ravings of a man who believes himself to be the Rakkman, and most likely killed his own parents.

Rakkman wears the corpse of a rakk as a cape and continuously claims, "I'm Rakkman." He is hostile as soon as he drops from the ceiling attacking with rakk-wing blades. When hurt, he will throw down a pellet in the shape of a rakk and become invisible. He reappears in a puff of smoke shaped like a bat, accompanied by several rakk named Pow, Bam, and Zap.
