Yeah it’s definitely bugged. Also consecutive hits weapons. Hopefully they fix it

Must be nice. On PC, he doesnt like to spawn.
currently doing some farming in curshaven… for the lulz i do amach and kritchy…
he spawned on the first go and dropped his sniper… (second or third one i allready got from him)
he’s not that hard to farm actualy… teleport to latern’s hook, run into his spawn spot, if he spawns kill him/if not, reaload it takes about 5 seconds to see if he spawns.
DLC2 is SO easy to farm i kinda starting to feel they made some things realy rare because of it.
edit
just to be clear, i had this problem with the pherbert gun 
the first time i actualy FOUND the enemies was 3 days ago… and dropped me a pretty good version of the gun… though i didn’t realy farmed for it the times i did they just failed to spawn for me…
RNGezus, that’s all there is to it.
I farmed them and got one Old God, no anoint, at level 50, I was split screening with my son. He was amara. I was killing them to get him xp and then he would drop down after a few runs to check loot
They drop a variety of loot but 95% are garbage with no anointments, and the anoints I get, arent that good anyways.
But I have gotten Maggie’s, jackhammers, seeryuls, the SMG, woodblockers, monocle, shredifiers, tons of trainer mods for fl4k, a ton of anarchies but with no good anoints, no sappers, cutsmans, trevanators, few crappy nade mods.
Lots of loot, just nothing I am specifically after.
I’m gonna farm cursehaven and see if my luck changes.
I got 2-3 anointed Old Gods from Amach in Xbox. He ALWAYS spawns in my games at M4.
The shield is quite rare in comparison to the other dlc items.
The shield itself is quite common compared to base game shields imo, getting a god roll will be very hard though since it can have 3 additional parts.
I don’t mean this in a rude way honest question is the shield even any good?
Yes, it’s good.
What’s so good about it kinda bored with current shields looking to mess around with some new stuff
It gives you 20% bonus elemental damage (specific type) and 25% elemental damage resistance (all) along with other shield perks .
I gotta be honest - I don’t get it either. I mean 20% is nice I guess, but any ASE anoint gives 50% elemental damage and other shields like the Transformer or Stop Gap seem way more useful defensively. Having trouble understanding why people are so hoped hyped for this one, unless there’s something I am missing.
I have only gotten one of these and it had no anointment but I’m guessing the reason is that you get the 20% in addition to the ASE anoint. It’s not like you are substituting one for the other.

I haven’t tested it, but the way it is worded it likely is a multiplicative bonus. Outside of Amara and Moze (with fire only) there aren’t a lot of sources of bonus elemental damage. You can get a bit on your relic, if you’re lucky, but finding one with the right element and the prefix/suffix on it too can be pretty tough. So, Old God should give a pretty substantial DPS boost for a lot of builds.

That 50% damage is an anoint, which you can also get on this shield. What other shield gives you a 20% elemental dmg bonus and 25% all elemental damage resist?
It also comes with a good capacity and decent recharge rate the delay being similar to stopgaps. It’s other advantage is that it can roll with 3 bonus parts.
So I’ve been farming Empowered Grawn and he has dropped me exactly 2 anointed Old Gods, neither of them are good anoints, and about 4 non-anointed ones. IDK, he doesn’t really seem like a better loot source than Xom/Tom, but he dropped the only anointed Old Gods I’ve seen so I guess I’ll keep farming him.
I really wish they would give some of this gear a dedicated drop source, or at least increase it’s drop rate.
Yea, the drop rate is poor from all of them. I farmed Empowered Grawn for quite a while and didn’t really feel that he was any better although it’s been a long time since I’ve seen an anointed Old God from Tom & Xam. We need less Seeryul Killers, Oldridians, etc. and more Old Gods.

I finally received an Old God last night. First time I’ve seen one playing the DLC since day one. Also got a Sapper COM. First COM I have seen the entire DLC as well. Both came from Empowered Grawn.
The Old God is Shock, +Capacity, -Shield Recharge rate, and anointed Moze gets 75% more shield after exiting IB for 25 seconds (or something like that my exact memory is not that great).
So I think she is going to enjoy this shield.
I will be heading back to Grawn tonight to see what else I can get.
OT but I really want to try the new Zane COM. I have some ideas for it

For me that 20% is big, cryo boost combined with every gun I have being sntnl cryo annoint is just a genuine damage boost for everything. Then 25% resistance helps survivability, and it can have a very decent capacity with the right rolls on it.

If you think about it…the issue really isn’t the drop rate. The issue is the number of items that drop without an anointment. If they would just change it so that playing on max difficulty means all items have anointments you wouldn’t have a layer of non-anointed trash drops to fight through before you even get to the farming of a particular anointment.
I was farming Unstoppable for a BoS and it took me almost 100 kills to get an anointed version. The first 3 drops had no anointment. Luckily, the first anointed version was something I could use so I stopped there but if all items had anointments I would have had 4 anointed shields to choose from instead of 1.
