@YIPIKIYA I play on Xbone and the Murdercane circle locations do change in my experience. It’s possible that if you are just farming gear, extracting it, and not killing the final boss (Harker?), the Murdercane circles do not change. I feel like it stays in the same place if you are just farming the chests and not the final boss, which sometimes I have done.

I couldn’t say for certain other than that I have noticed the Murdercan circles change their spawn points for me when I play on Xbone.

Awesome info! Thank you for the input but arm’s race specific gear does spawn in vendors!? Didn’t know that.

#12

Good to know. I have killed the boss on runs but only a few times. I’ll keep an eye on the map from now on. That might be my issue just doing the chest. Thanks

regular legendaries, although rare, are great in arm’s race. even if it’s just a grenade, you can breeze through everything. I once got a hellshock and not counting the short immunity phase when going from armor to health, the final boss took about 6 seconds.

what I’d really like to see done in arm’s race is auto health regen and improved reload times. I only die b/c I’m trying to reload and run out of time.

arm’s race specific gear can spawn in vending machines within arm’s race–the only issue is having enough $$ to buy it.

Yeah they can but as tarheel mentioned, they are very expensive! Have you had any more luck on your runs? I haven’t played arms race in a couple of months, may do a few runs myself.
I don’t know if you’ve beaten the boss yet but he can also drop both vanilla game and arms race specific legendaries.
Once I got a ASA 200 woodblocker and a 300/90 plasma coil at the same time

I am getting the hang of it and really enjoying it. Mostly exploring the map to memorize paths. I’ve had some decent drops and beaten the boss. He’s surprisingly not too hard to get down once you know what weapons to use. Still haven’t seen any in vendors except vanilla but no big deal. Im going to try for tizzys next. Should be a quick farm.

No farm in Arms Race is a “quick farm” in my experience. It is really tough to get good Arms Race gear with the anoint you want if you are farming it legitimately (which all my gear is legitimate and in 99% of cases farmed by me). I have played a crapton of Arms Race and am still trying to get what I would consider to be “pretty good” versions of most of the weapons I like.

Dark Army farming is especially absurd. You need the ++ prefix for the weapon to be even usable on M10, pretty much.

The tizzy’s definitely better than the plasma coil run. I just run straight to the main door the badass’s come out of and clear the area and done. But each run is its own adventure.

#19

Nice glad you’re keeping at it. I’ve still not got round to getting on it. Good luck with the tizzy. I have a conesutive hits one but have been trying to farm an ASA 200% one for months now and had no luck. Dark Army is a really good gun to get too

Having a ball with it! Not sure how long that will last lol but what element you trying to get with that anoint on the tizzy?

#21

I’ve played 80 million times and still have never gotten a level 65 fl4k mod to drop (i just want it for my collection). 90% of the drops seem to be the holy grail, deathrattle or that useless sniper.

and I don’t get chests that spawn two or three of the Res when it isn’t anointed and the stats are the same.

#22

for the boss i always look for shock, corrosive and incendiary grenades as those can take him out quickly. easier than getting lucky and finding a good legendary gun.

to me the biggest factor in success is your first chest. whenever I get a jakobs and/or torgue gun I know I’m screwed b/c generally non elemental (some torgue whites may be but usually not) and the reload times are just too slow–I usually end up dying while trying to reload. If I can get a good maliwan pistol and a tediore or atlas (other than the AX-88) it ends up being much simpler to succeed.

Are you on Xbone? I can send you a CMDLT if you want. I have a few decent ones.

#24

thanks, but no, I’m on PS.

#25

Just any element, I can make any work. I’ve thought about asking on here for a trade before but I think I might be the only BL3 player who plays on mayhem 6 instead of 10 or 11

#26

What system you on, I’m xbox.

#27

Thanks for the info. I must be doing something right, I hate those pistols too. Im finding that the beginning weapons determine my route from the start.

#28

I’m on ps4. Its cool, I enjoy the grind anyway. That dopamine hit when you finally get what you want is awesome.

Infact yeah you are totally right, I completely forgot about Atlas guns. They are so powerful in arms race.
Getting a torgue or jakobs (or both) in the first chest is grim, that has killed so many of my runs
