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

what would be nice if gearbox returned to week 3 levels for a weekend or week to say thank you for contributing on the test.

Agreed. I would love to see a BL3 with TPS vendors, BL1 world drops and BL2 boss farming (at slightly less than week three rates).

I’ll give it a few more days and see if I can get lucky. The offer is appreciated though, I may get back to you in a day or too buddy.

Oh my, sounds like a bad time.

Some people have no own opinion and rather attack anything because someone else said so. Sad people.

It is certainly true that it’s not nearly as great without Craw or the Armory (the mini-armory of DLC4 is good too to get geared up quickly but that’s not the point)

Can’t remember how many double Legendaries I had found outside of Knoxx but there were some. I still have found quite a lot even just on 50 before the Awesome Level went through the roof. It’s quite awesome to find some in White Chests.
The earliest Legendary I ever found was in the first Red Chest in the Bandit Camp in The Dahl Headlands in PT1 (that’s a lot of "in"s)
But yeah, those friggin Equalizers >_<
As Mordecai, I went through Eridian Promontory with Ransack and one of the first Guardians dropped me a Volcano and the very last Guardian in the same run dropped another one.
RNG can be strange sometimes.

What the hell is going on, I seem to be getting every legendary off the warrior apart from the conference call, I just got a Logans gun now lol.

That’s the first Logans gun I’ve ever had.

got a bee from Hunter right after finish of TVHM with gauge… although it is only 48lv and guage is 50lv… finished playthough 1 with commando… not a single legendary dropped… i did stack the deck for him by loaning him all the 27 and 28 level bitches…and a good sham… so perhaps they look at what gear you have before calculating drops?

No - doesn’t matter what character you have, what gear you’re carrying, what skin & head combo you have, whether you’re wearing your lucky socks… Heck, even the VH Relic doesn’t really affect legendary drop-rates!

yea i thought is was a stupid notion too… just trying to put some order in to the system… figure out a pattern… glad to know about the relic thing though… i carry that silly thing around from level 1 thinking perhaps if i switch out right at W death… things will turn up… oh well… come 17th the loot fall will end… unless GB decides to push an update… wonder how likely that will be?

the vh relic only increases the green and blues(lessen the white drops) you get and some people say that it makes your chances to get legendary items harder due to in game balancing .

I really hope they make these adjustments permanent.
I think most of can remember how far this game has come since release and I know it’s considered an ā€œold gameā€ now but I’d like to see the adjustments continue…as long as those changes/adjustments are for the better.

I don’t think that last part is correct. In reality, while the reduced pool of whites does increase the chances of getting higher rarity items, the % improvement gets smaller as you go to higher rarity, until it’s essentially indistinguishable from normal by the time you get to orange items. It’s explained pretty well in one of the Inside the Box articles on the loot system. (Both recommended reading if you really want to know how loot in BL2 works and why it’s different from BL1.)

can you give me a link so I can read them please and I was watching a twitch stream last Friday and that’s what they came up with

I’m noticing with the warrior, between 6-10 kills he drops a legendary…granted it’s not the one I’m trying for bit still. Just had a monstrous volcano that time.

Ok that will work

7 more tries and I get a Flakker… It’s funny and frustrating all rolled into one.

The best place for me to get any legendary in this game is TRADING God forbid this game gets a better drop rate people might start thinking this fame is fun and enjoy and buy another game like it and I might complain a lot but I just think it’s crazy wen u need a shield and shotgun cause it can kill a boss fast but that’s what I thought RNG was about getting the gun you so desire no the white or green trash for hours of farming or killing the boss or llm idk I hope this change is better than the last two weeks!!!

6-10 kills? That’s pretty good! Just finished Wam Bam Island main story, and the two chest available after that coughed up an Intense UH, a Maliwan shock e-tech Railer (sniper), a couple of darts, and a bunch of blues. Sparky Flynt nothing, but it was just the initial story run. Anyone know how the repeat fights compare to the story ones? (I know you get more chests on subsequent runs)

yeah but u know how lon it takes to get the gun u want a lot of hours hundreds and besides the drop increase does not mean that they will drop the right gun but I know u had a better chance at getting a legendary u needed when week three was out! But everyone ha their own way to get drops so happy lootinng
