BL2 and BL:TPS Legendary Drop Rate Increases! (4/9 - 5/13)

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection Handsome Collection News
#446

Getting it from the Handsome Sorcerer was my original plan, but I don’t have him unlocked for farming yet. I haven’t played AODK on UVHM. I was actually about to go into it when they started doing the drop rate increase thing, so I decided to stick with just farming for a while. I never farmed the Warrior for anything, I only decided to farm him now because of the drop rate increase. Now it seemed like a good time to do it and I like the idea of going into the DLC already having most of the legendaries I want in my backpack. If I get it from the Warrior, I’ll use the Handsome Sorcerer to get a better one if I need to. I’ll probably wait until they’re done with whatever they’re doing with the drop rates before going into AODK.

EDIT: I actually got one on the second try after going back in. It’s terrible, though. Blade accessory, Jakobs stock, Bandit sight. The only thing good about it is Hyperion grip. This thing is a real eyesore. I kept going for another 13 tries, only got another Flakker and a head. I might try again tomorrow for a better one now that I saw that it’s not that hard to get. If I don’t get it, I’ll stick with this one for now and farm the Handsome Sorcerer for a better one in the future.

Digistruct Peak, first chest.

boll was suppose to drop the boncing bunny grenade but he does not gearbox never or can not fix that glitch. on point the new update is good and I hope everyone is having a good time getting all that gold .

#449

I am relizing the same . you seam to get nothing for ages then you get a flurry and it seams to cycling nothing to a furry and back to nothing ,all through I still like this week update keep hunting that gold everyone and some advice it if you are getting full already consider creating dummy or storage carraters (bl2 get them to sanctuary and tps get them to Concordia and ulitize the claptrap secret stash locker

I just did an experimental Treasure Room farm …

20 runs - 10 Oranges (not the fruit) … Not bad at all :smile:

It is much better as you progress to Lvl 72 and beyond to make orange and pearl stuff
more frequent as you really do need good gear in UVHM.

It would also be very excellent if LLM didn’t drop white items (or green, or blue) … The clue is in the name …
Legendary Loot Midgets … Not Half Arsed Useless Loot Midgets … But hey, maybe I’m being picky … :wink:

#451

I took my OP8 Sal to normal to fly through some runs to see what gives.
10 runs through Frostburn before I got a Pyrophobia
Baby Maker on the first try with Madame Von B
Nothing from Lee in a dozen tries
then
I decided to give Hyperius a try.
in about 60/70 runs I got 5 Shreddifiers, 2 Hornets, 1 Sledge’s Shotty and 2! count em, 2 Norfleets.
That’s some good return right there.

#452

I can’t do Hyperius no matter how hard I try … Just can’t get the rhythm right … Anyone else, no problem.

He is my nemesis (or whatever the right word is)

#453

I just got a Surgical Pitchfork, first kill, from Gee

#454

I don’t know if this is because of the drop rate increase or what, but after all those Storm Front runs, I decided to go farm a Lyuda and while I was doing runs behind Ellie’s garage, I kept running into the Black Queen. She spawned probably once out of every three runs I did, and her first appearance, she dropped the Nukem.

I don’t remember seeing her so often so I thought it was interesting.

#455

you can go back without a reset. The Treasure of the Sands mission will appear again on the Oasis Bounty Board

#456

he was actually supposed to drop the fastball

#457

Only once though. So, max two runs per play-through without exploiting glitches.

#458

Did another 10 Lee runs this morning, and got two Intense and one Stiff UHs. Also, a Bullymong pile coughed up a Swiss Deliverance - yowza!

Been farming the Handsome Sorcerer and had some interesting results.

First 10 runs

Transformer
Volcano
Striker
Impaler
Conference Call (fire)
Orange head

Since then, about 15-20 runs

Couple Orange heads
Impaler
NE Conference Call
Bonus Package

So, quite a start, but really slowed down since. Still pleasantly surprised so far. Never really had that type of luck with random legendary drops outside his usual loot pool.

#460

just make a save backup and use one to farm the room

#461

You don’t have to go to that much trouble :wink: Treasure room is farmable without any real shenanigans ( no more than the farmory anyway )

#462

All I have to say is–as far as farming bosses goes, drop rates are higher than they have ever been for me personally.

#463

Did some more farming. And have to say again. I think these drop rates are perfect. Not to high and not to low. Feels very satisfying

What I like best about these drop rates, is actually getting legendaries WITHOUT farming. Not a ton of course, but getting a couple during a play through of the main sort line is an awesome feeling and most certainly helps you along.

That explains the legendary weapons in the vending machines in the Campaign of Carnage DLC. Sweet
