Well, within 20 minutes of trying to spawn Vermi in solo…he appears. Loving this 
So does it seem to be ALL varkid evolution rates? Or just UBA -> Vermi?
I’d say all of them as I definitely got a lot more SBA’s and UBA’s
Well I know what I’m doing when I get home. Time to do an OP8 Vermi and Son of Craw double raid fight with my now rebuffed Zer0. No better way to celebrate the hot fix than that.

If you genuinely care about undoing rising salt levels your last patch caused:
- Please further buff Light the Fuse, Hellfire Halitosis, Shock Storm, Death from Above, Helios and Backdraft (haven’t tested the new Blight Phoenix yet)
- Please also increase the spawn-chance for Tubbies and Ohmd-Ohmd-Ohk.
- Send me a letter of apology for breaking my heart through sheer disappointment of getting a failue of a patch on my birthday.
Before everyone keeps complaining about OOO not being mentioned… has anyone… you know… actually TRIED to summon him yet? (preferably someone who has experience with pre-hotfix spawn rates)
Then again, it’s a hotfix so you can just disconnect your internet to test pre- and post-hotfix rates.
They did boost Shock Storm, Death from Above, Helios, and Backdraft.
The issue of kunai and vermi were addressed 11 days later.
Don’t have previous experience with pre-spawn rates, but I summoned him twice yesterday playing solo. About 3 total hours of attempts, with the two spawns almost back to back somewhere in the middle. I know not grounded, but thought it might help.

Respect to Gearbox for listening to their player base. And to the team that worked so quickly on these hotfixes.
The October update was amazing, and it just keeps getting better. Maya is a lot more fun to play now.

It’s probably just my usual bad luck, but I spent four hours yesterday and four hours again today trying to get him to spawn. That’s a total of eight hours watching varkids evolving and Vermi is still a no-show. Today I didn’t even get any Ultimate Badass Varkids at all. I’m positive I have the hotfix on and I tried both the Farmhouse and Caustic Caverns.
I am so happy that Borderlands 2 is still being supported and made better by Gearbox. I hope change such as this continue to appear in the future.

That sucks - sorry to hear. I’ll give it a try tomorrow to see what kind of luck I have.
If it makes you feel any better, I have spent about a total of 7 hours trying to get Vermivorous to spawn and I have only gotten as far as a single Ultimate Badass Varkid. The fact that others are having considerably better luck spawning Vermivorous since the new hotfix has given me lots of motivation to keep trying, though!

Aww smassssss this is awesome.
I guess this means that there will eventually be another patch to make these changes permanent. D:
Thanks for the sympathy. I’m interested in seeing your results, just for the sake of comparison and to get a better grip on his new spawn rate.
Same here. I know it’s all RNG based, but the fact that some people have been getting multiple spawns in just a couple of hours while others are going for hours on end without even seeing any Ultimates is really weird. It seems too inconsistent. I’m having no trouble at all getting multiple Super Badasses, but when they reach that phase they just seem to completely stop evolving. I’m gonna try for a couple more hours tomorrow. I still believe in this hotifx.
Since my previous post about getting him to spawn within half an hour I’ve had similar bad luck, a lot of the time they aren’t evolving past badasses let alone super badasses. There’s still a marked improvement from before the hot fix though as I think in the fairly huge amount of hours I spent farming him I only ever got 1 UBA and no more than about 5 or 6 SBA’s. It’s just a case of keep going with it and eventually you will be rewarded.

What about buffing Nuke? I think that it is the last “fixed” damage skill that isnt worth, and it is a capstone!
Would be amazing if Axton could throw his turrets like a Fastball or top tier MIRV grenade. And wouldnt be OP, as we can naturally throw 10 of them. Just saying… (Also, apply grenade damage bonus to Nuke)
I only had about 90 minutes today so I started in TVHM and alternated between Tundra Farmhouse and Caustic Caverns. In all I had about 10 SBAs and 2 UBAs but no Vermi. A good many stayed as varkids or only evolved to adults. I’ll need to try it a few more times before getting a feel for how it compares to the gate trick. I’d also like to run it on UHVM but just reset my main toon’s playthru, so I’ll need to work my way back to Tundra Express before that can happen.

Vermi has less chance of spawning in TVHM, but even with that complication you still got more UBAs then I’ve been getting on UVHM. I’m gonna keep trying. Hopefully I’ll get him to spawn before reaching 15 hours without a spawn.
