Jefe,
Unfortunately I am playing on Xbox. Which is more frustrating and limited. For the hammerlock one can I get it on xbox somehow or is that just for PC? this is so frustrating LOL

You can get the Hammerlock DLC on Xbox, and if you are playing the Handsome Collection you already have it. Either way, you can accomplish something similar, if more time consuming, by dashboarding (exiting to the console menu without saving) after you’ve seen that either you didn’t get the drop or weren’t happy with the one that did drop.

Paul,
I def know the dash-boarding trick LOL. I def have this DLC too, so when I have to kill him he has a chance to drop it? Not a quest reward right?

Right. 10% chance to drop. Not a reward. It takes place in the 2nd map (Scylla’s Grove) - so maybe a half hour if you zip through the first few of missions and ignore the side quests.

And he isn’t farm-able after the mission is turned in?

I didn’t mean to come off as condescending, I only explained it because when I first joined the forum i didn’t know what it meant and took whatever I did or didn’t get first shot, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to be clear in my response. But I would agree that it’s a pain to go through for this particular sniper. All of the ones I’ve got are from the Loot Train because dashboarding on PS3 is like going to the dentist after they’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 easier…I never tried PC but I am def jealous of the people who can spawn their own Tubby’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 we’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 this…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 don’t have his gear yet at level 72. It’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 S’MASHER!! LOL. Now mind you its the crappiest Variant there is in my book, but i still couldnt believe it. What a night…

It is definitely terrible design, I’m pretty sure I don’t have all the heads/skins he drops because it’s such a pain in the ass to farm, and as you’re saying, if he actually drops something, it’s probably unobtainable anyway.

Crazy luck on the Terra drop though. lol

In case anyone hadn’t heard: BL3 comes with a “Lost and Found” loot box in the central hub area that will apparently collect this otherwise fallen gear for you to pick up upon return. I’m not sure if we’ll ever see loot fall through walls/floors again, but in theory, it shouldn’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 aren’t helping with geometry debugging, and players are constantly complaining about this.
Oh wait, I know, I’ll spend a few weeks making an overly complex and usually useless new feature instead of figuring it out, that’s more fun anyway!
Not that I’ve ever done that. Well, more than 100 times at least.

Alternately: “I can either rewrite my own physics engine from scratch that doesn’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 things”.

I’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 I’ll keep trying that. All for a freakin smasher and some skins! This farm is terrible. :frowning:

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