Drops from: Raid Boss 2 (Vorath the Unmade) in Raid Tier 2. Drop rate: 1-2% (community-reported).
Plan a 30-60 minute farm session at this drop rate. The most efficient route is to run the boss back-to-back with a fast-clear build; loot pile rolls every 6 kills on average.

Corrosive eats armored enemies and is the recommended element for Ordonite Processor and Rust Tyrant farms. Less efficient against shield-only or flesh-only mob types.
The natural fit for Shiny War Paint is Rafa's Grenadier tree (corrosive grenade synergy). Stack the relevant capstone before farming the deeper raid tiers — the build planner at /builder/ lets you preview the synergy.
A pearlescent rifle like Shiny War Paint earns its spot when the rest of your kit covers the gaps it leaves. Pair it with a close-range crowd-clear option for inevitable swarm waves. See our walkthroughs for boss-by-boss build recommendations.
