We’ll see what Gearbox does with all this soon, I imagine. Oh, and I hear there’s a x2 variant out there I still don’t have. This is probably the most insane, highest DPS weapon I’ve ever seen in Borderlands, which is saying something.

Ironically Fish Slap is half immune to it as he can block radiation damage, making him one of the toughest enemies to face with it (you have to hit him with direct hits, not radiation splash damage). It seems to drop with the 300% Anointment decently often, as I’ve already gotten two. I will write up my Moze build for this soon, but it drops form Fish Slap and Tyrone Smallums, and Joey Ultraviolet himself. The problem is the mode, not Yellowcake, though I expect both may end up adjusted. But even then, the Yellowcake is miles beyond all of them, and practically every other weapon in the game no longer feels viable in Mayhem 10, even with the best damage Anointments in the game. The best alternatives I’ve found are maybe a damage boosted Mayhem 10 Hellshock on elemental Amara, or a 200% damage on action skill active Mayhem 10 new OPQ AR on Zane. But I think the problem is not with the Yellowcake, but with Mayhem 10, as there are quite literally almost no other viable alternatives to farm it in a non-exhausting fashion. I am concerned that Gearbox is going to nerf the Yellowcake like the did the ION Cannon before it.
