How to Get E-Tech Weapons

You can find these weapons in many ways.
-- You can get an E-Tech weapon from Dr. Zed's quest / mission: "Medical Mystery" from killing Doc Mercy

-- Bosses can drop E-Tech guns so farm them! Check out Borderlands 2: How to Kill Terramorphous the Invincible AND also check Borderlands 2: Vermivorous The Invincible - harder than Terramorphous the Invincible for two good bosses to kill for amazing E-Tech loot, though you can actually fight ANY boss.
-- You can find E-Tech in standard treasure chests sometimes
-- Normal enemies sometimes drop E-Tech too

And unfortunately, there is no E-Tech gun that is specifically better than the rest.
