Weāve made no changes to PvE drop rates in recent patches. This is almost certainly just bad luck. Always possible thereās a bug, but this is the first weāve heard of it. Let us know if this persists, or is happening across all player experiences.

Iāve been farming Tubbies for as long as there have been UVHM tubbies.
Never. Not once, EVER have I gotten a Carnage. Which I now have most PREFIXEs on every other gun. That is years of praying to RNGesus.
Iām not saying youāre wrong mate, as Iād be red faced if the devs came out today and said they did. All Iām saying is stranger things have happened.

You know what else would make me blush? Posting;
āI doubt the devs did this, but hell if I know!ā and being ninjaād by @Jythri.
I either type too slow or too quick.
Hope that answered everything @Rabid_Explosions.

Well Iāll be taking it as a bug or as a sign for me to step away from the game for a whileā¦
I again refuse to accept RNG as the reason to why advance missions all of a sudden only give me uncommon drops.

Let us also not forget that itās Gearbox who sets the drop rates.
Actually, it feels different to me, too, but not in the same way. as Jac said, we got three chrono binders in a period of about 24 hours, when weād been farming it daily for the previous two weeks. In fact, The Sentinel map was raining legendaries on us yesterday, but nothing today.
I wondered if maybe the devs had prevented any of those legendaries they had planned to nerf from dropping after they decided they were going to change them, just to keep them out of circulation and hopefully mitigate some of the backlash.
Sometimes I picture a really bored guy on the nightshift watching the numbers and deciding to play gamer-god, tweaking things just for his own entertainment. While I think this scenario is false, I really do believe drop rates are adjusted more than what we are told in the battleplans. Though every tweak may seem like itās too small to justify mentioning, taken all together, players really can āfeelā the changes.

Scroll up 5 posts for the official statement.
Thanks, @Psychichazard, I read it, but as @Jythri said, there still might be some sort of bug.

Ah, okay. Carry on.
I havenāt actually jumped on since Sunday but this apparently happened within the last day or so which is the polar opposite of your experience.
Some players are just more blessed by the RNG gods than others. You might get several drops in one sitting or see nothing for a month thatās just how it works.
@Derch has been looking to try out the Chrono key, but everytime we hit the Sentinel, we never got one when he was in the party. When we tried it after he left, we got our first one. Poor guy. Hopefully RNG will be kinder to us the next time we play.

Wait are you guys farming the The Old Sentinel or Guardian Vyn? Because the Chrono Key doesnāt drop from the final boss 
Um, @Gulfwulf and I are referring to the map, not the boss. We play the whole map, we donāt just get to the right miniboss and quit.
Ah my mistake, carry on 
Just lousy luck Iād say. Over 3 weeks worth of playing Iāve only ever found 2 legendaries, but yesterday found 2 in a single match of advanced Algorithm, including the poor m-pulse controller.
If anything, I feel their higher. I got 4 in the last two days. Run it with a full group so you get 5 rolls instead of one. Soloing is brutal.
Funnily enough I got 3 legendary items yesterday, 2 from a single mission and 1 from a loot pack. I was mainly observing a shift from Rares and epics to common and uncommon. RNG still hasnāt forsaken me.
Did you get the hostile takeover also by chance?
I have to echo this though, despite the voices of others, I have noticed a distinct and over bearing amount of āgreenā (can nolonger call it uncommon because it is now theeee most commonly occurring gear) in the past week of constantly farming The Old Sentinel stage. Strangest thing was the moment I went to a random match landing on The Algorithm we got two legendaries (M-Pulse & Hostile Takeover). Also 53 Jennerit packs later I have only one legendary but a ton of skins and taunts and a few 1000 credits packs (Caldarius is fully unlocked lol).
Full group is always better than solo if you were running solo
