its a piece of piss m8, as the drop rate is pretty high. Just waiting for a good drop now, i’d be happy with a 340k+ sheild.

The drop rate is pretty decent on it, yes, but as said, getting a perfect one can take some time.
But yeah good luck. And for the sake of statistics, come back to the thread and tell us how many kills it took you to get a 340k+ one, will you?
I recommend scarifying something to RNGsus, for he can be a cruel god at times…

If you have a high level alternate character, (particularly Maya) it may speed up the mobbing portion. I found that killing all of the preliminary bullymongs to make Bulwark get out of his shell was so much quicker when the Missus was farming it for me then when I had to cycle through RTBs to get it.

I wouldn’t worry about it overly much unless you’re going to be doing the OP levels. If so, I would replace it about every 2 or so with one your level. I think mine’s a little over 9 mil @ OP 8, but it has perfect parts. Still, any extra health is worth it.

I got to OP7 yesterday with my trusty 72 Rough Rider. 
But yeah to make things easier changing it every few levels is probably a good idea. I wouldn’t say every two levels but maybe once at OP4 and once at OP6.
The bonus health is awesome on OP levels to mitigate the StV self hit damage, but everything else is manageable with a Moxxi weapon for when you’re in the danger zone over 33 but under 50 % health I find.
@zub razi: hey 340k is good, I’d settle for it tbh, especially if the farm starts getting way too tedious and feeling like a chore.
Also, I’m not sure how many better variants there are between yours and a perfect one, but I’d be surprised if there was more than one. Maybe yours is second best even…

yeah thats if i can get a 340k one! best i got today, after +4hrs farming it, was a 320k shield. Its surprising how many sub 280k shields drop! so frustrating!

Oh I got that wrong, I thought you said you got a 340k one.
I know it can take ages mate, that’s why I said yours is fine. The odds of gettin a perfect or even near perfect one are ridiculous.

Sorry, I was thinking of my full health, not the shield. Yeah, it’s only 900k or so.

Gulf is on PC though if I’m not mistaken, so I’m not sure if this baby there has ever seen the Bulwark or dropped from it…

Comment with burn status effect chance. 
Not that it matters to me where it comes from by the way, just saying it’s kinda
for a drop.
But it’s a beauty. /envy

All I’m going to say is you guys can farm all you want; me, I like killing things. 
That being said, the Bulwark can drop a shield just like that if you have the patience to farm him.

With the amount of stitched up items on PS and XB I don’t think it makes a difference what platform you play on.
Also, seeing the sheer amount of time Gulf spent working up his Krieg, I’m pretty sure that was a collectors item for him. I’m 95% certain he got it legit.
