I gotta say I think this new boss drop rate is a bit too much. I also got at least one or more legendary per run. Got three in one run of Algorithm (Henchman, Firmware Update, and Pacifier).
The one thing that limits how useful they are is the shard cost though. Running with a loadout chock full of legendaries means you are unlikely to actually get to use them all, unless one is generating shards for you. Even then, it limits your ability to utilize buildables. If everyone is hauling legendary gear in to a PvP match, no one is going to be able to activate much, as you will all be hogging the shards.
Just a friendly reminder guys, the point of this thread was for people to share their results with the new boss drop rates since the hotfix, not necessarily their opinions on how they feel about the change. That sort of discussion is probably better suited on the Battleplan #8 thread.
Since I started having an interest in legendary boss drops, I have seen people on the forums express their frustration as well as time invested into farming for these things and I just wanted to create an avenue where everyone could hopefully share their positive experience so that others can see just how good the drop rates are right nowā¦and why you should be farming the crap out of your favourite/hated boss before they catch on.
Gear: Vynās Quiver
Attempts: I got it my first try. Got 2 actually out of a total of 5 runs (Iām trying for Song of Vigor)

If any of you guys run Advanced Solo The Saboteur: Who do you do it with plz?
Iāve been farming Sentinel a helluva lot lately (trying to get my Stolen Edge T.T 100 Sentinel runs and still hasnāt dropped). Of my last 25 runs (most of which were advanced hardcore; 18 Sentinel, 5 Renegade, 1 Experiment, 1 Saboteur), Iāve gotten 2 Chrono Key, 3 Guardian Shieldbreaker, 4 Song of Vigor, 1 Oath of the Sustained, 1 Vigilant Power Scouter, 1 Bolaās Target Finder, and 1 Vow of Vengeance. The fact that Iāve gotten a disproportionate number of Chrono Keys, Guardian Shieldbreakers, and Songs of Vigor is incredibly disheartening and just makes me think that the RNG enjoys taunting me (especially since, in all 3 of these cases, the very first drop was max roll, as have all but one of the duplicates).
Seriously, wtfā¦ did the changes require some update that Iām missing? Iāve played over 20 missions and still havent had a single ā ā ā ā ā ā ā drop! Goddamn you RNGesus!!! shakes fist at the sky
What difficulties were you running? Iāve seen a lot of legendaries, but I only ever run advanced and prefer to run hardcore with a friend or two. If youāre doing solo normal, that might explain it (since the devs didnāt explain exactly how they adjusted the drop rates).
I made a thread about a shard based gear loadout, and people recommended this, i have it now and i got it first try XD
I also fell to my death >3>ā¦it was an accident >3<
I got 6 new legendaries after the rate up (ones after OMās class specific legendary, gears sorted in newest first order)ā¦ Geoff dropped two web interdictors in one runā¦
It depends upon what you mean by ātwiceā. It is possible to get duplicate legendaries for all legendaries except for the character exclusive ones. This is basically required because, like all gear, legendaries are of variable quality (e.g. some instances of a given legendary will have better stats than another of that same legendary); if you couldnāt get multiple copies, youād be hosed when trying to get a max roll version of a given legendary when the first one you got had junk stats. It is incredibly annoying to get numerous duplicates of the same legendary; I have gotten no less than 6 Songs of Vigor, 5 Chrono Keys, and 5 Guardian Shieldbreakers in my time farming Sentinel (without a single Stolen Edge or Vigilance Link). The RNG just loves giving me duplicates.
While I cannot say this definitively, I do not believe it is possible to get more than one legendary drop from a single boss kill. The legendaries seem to drop in addition to the normal loot provided (you will still get a random uncommon/rare/epic in addition to the legendary; I donāt recall any cases of getting multiple random uncommon/rare/epic loot from a boss so itās not replacing anything), which suggests to me that the game checks whether the boss is going to drop a legendary and then checks the bossās legendary loot table to determine what legendary is dropped.

Can you go back into your Match History and screen cap the double legendary drop to confirm that? Because thatās the first Iāve ever heard of a single boss dropping multiple legendaries (much less 2 of the same legendary).
I am afraid that match is no longer listed in the historyā¦ But i can
confirm that i got two legendary drops from Geoff, no liesā¦ I always
go to the gear section and sort them by newest first after completing a
story mission to get rid of the useless onesā¦ and after beating
algorithm on that day i noticed there were two shield interdictors in my
inventory and sold the duplicate oneā¦ btw, this is not the first time
this has happenedā¦
