And he isnā€™t farm-able after the mission is turned in?

I didnā€™t mean to come off as condescending, I only explained it because when I first joined the forum i didnā€™t know what it meant and took whatever I did or didnā€™t get first shot, so I figured it couldnā€™t hurt to be clear in my response. But I would agree that itā€™s a pain to go through for this particular sniper. All of the ones Iā€™ve got are from the Loot Train because dashboarding on PS3 is like going to the dentist after theyā€™ve run out of novocaine and nitrous.

No, I didnt take you that way at all! Dont worry : ) For real though, I feel the same way on xbox, I have spent hours dash-boarding for stuff. Especially trying to get a perfect Sandhawk, or Rubi, or fibbers and lady fists!! HOURS. it sucks so bad, and it sucks how many tries it takes. Most of the time I give up and settle and then I am mad at myself later lol. But i just takes so damn long, its like farming the Sham or the cobra. LOL PAINFUL! At least with PC things can be a bit easierā€¦I never tried PC but I am def jealous of the people who can spawn their own Tubbyā€™s LOL. Cause that is another frustration!

Is this a PhysX-related issue? As in, if PhysX is low, weapons falling through the floor is less of a thing? Thought I heard that somewhere. :thinking:

PhysX can certainly increase this effect. I know weā€™ve talked about it in regards the Bunker and the Sanctuary FT - and this would be no exception.

However the OP is on Xbox.

You guys are not going to believe thisā€¦So crazy. So after my rant and my loot falling all over the place with Son of MR. I said screw it and started farming Terra. I figured I donā€™t have his gear yet at level 72. Itā€™s been at least a couple of hours as we all know not only is he stingy but he never drops perfect variants. Guess what he just dropped? A Sā€™MASHER!! LOL. Now mind you its the crappiest Variant there is in my book, but i still couldnt believe it. What a nightā€¦

Never underestimate the power of ranting! Sometimes it helps! :wink:

It is definitely terrible design, Iā€™m pretty sure I donā€™t have all the heads/skins he drops because itā€™s such a pain in the ass to farm, and as youā€™re saying, if he actually drops something, itā€™s probably unobtainable anyway.

Crazy luck on the Terra drop though. lol

In case anyone hadnā€™t heard: BL3 comes with a ā€œLost and Foundā€ loot box in the central hub area that will apparently collect this otherwise fallen gear for you to pick up upon return. Iā€™m not sure if weā€™ll ever see loot fall through walls/floors again, but in theory, it shouldnā€™t matter anymore.

As a software engineer lo these last 40 years, this sounds like a classic case of;
Dammit, I cannot figure out how stuff is dropping through the floor, the Unreal guys arenā€™t helping with geometry debugging, and players are constantly complaining about this.
Oh wait, I know, Iā€™ll spend a few weeks making an overly complex and usually useless new feature instead of figuring it out, thatā€™s more fun anyway!
Not that Iā€™ve ever done that. Well, more than 100 times at least.

Alternately: ā€œI can either rewrite my own physics engine from scratch that doesnā€™t have this issue (and re-train the team on how to use it), or I can just make an in-game garbage collection unit, and get on with other thingsā€.

Iā€™ve made calls like this before, and as much as I trust the decisions I made, I trust that Gearbox does the same with their own development.

So I tried to go and farm Rakkanoth instead and the game auto saved before I could dashboard. So that idea went to crap. Sooo I started SOM again. I didnt get crap yet. But I did see one glitch where if he drops at a certain area you can go through the wall and collect the loot. So Iā€™ll keep trying that. All for a freakin smasher and some skins! This farm is terrible. :frowning:

#22

I always play with PhysX on low but still his loot falls through the floor about 80% of the time

#23

Itā€™s one messed up area, for sure. For example, itā€™s one of the few spots where you can run over health and ammo and not have them auto-collect (usually in the perimeter of the circular door covering the large elevator BW rides up on.)

Jefe, I need your help. It seems no one can help me or explain this new DLC for BL2. I was wondering if maybe you can. So I have a current level 72 character that i was literally just about to head to Dig peak with, but then this DLC dropped and the level caps changed. So now, I am confused. My ultimate goal now is OP10. Should i play the new DLC at level 72 first? Level up? But doing Dig Peak 10 times with crap gear doesnt sound like fun. My ultimate goal would be to play the new DLC and farm OP 10 items, once i am OP10 i am assuming i have to reset my play through? Should I just start at OP8? I am so confused what moves to make here. if you could help, I would really appreciate it, other people seem to be not so niceā€¦
thanks,
Liz

The new base game cap is level 80. You wonā€™t be able to use your existing OP unlocks (OP1-8) until you hit level 80. After that, thereā€™s two additional OP levels (OP9 & 10).

Thereā€™s a thread with details you might want to check out here.
