Ok, last night I finished the first part of the Ava podcast murder mystery side quest and started farming Sumo. The mission completed, the first one, and I used the New U Station right at the top of the stairs there before Sumo. I farmed him for about an hour and did not get one drop. Is this item have a low drop rate? I had no problem getting my Frozen Heart from Aurelia and my Rakk Pack from Cunning boss. Mayhem 11 by the way. Any help would be appreciated, maybe I was just super super unlucky? Did about 15 to 20 runs on him.
I think so.
Iāve found 3 in half of one hour.
If youāre on psn add me. Iāll send you one

that seems like bad luck. Iāve always had very low drops rates in both BL2 and BL3 (far below what people report is the official drop rate) but with the re-volter itās about a 25-33% rate for me. I donāt think Iāve ever gone more than 3 or 4 tries without getting one and usually get 2 or 3 consecutive successful runs.
Iād also add itās possible itās being affected by the special event. although that map location is not part of the promethea zone for purposes of this weekās event, it might be affected by it unintentionally.
How much of that farming time is spent in the loading screens and UI? I imagine 1-3 minutes from kill to spawn. I got flagged for platform wars when I discussed this elsewhere but I do think thatās an underlying issue in itself-
Players on one platform want higher drop rates, but players on PC may think the drop rates are fine because they load much faster than console players.
For instance, in my experience, any dedicated drop Iāve tried to farm has only taken 30 minutes max. Lillith boss from DLC 4, whatever she dropped was the longest in my experience.
But seeing someone say āfarmed for an hourā on console could mean they really spent 30 minutes in loading screens and 30 minutes actually playing the game.
But like Bigredtarheel mentioned, GBX hotfixes do screw with things sometimes that they shouldnāt, so. Could always just be a broken hotfix too.

I hear you on the load times, thats why I mentioned I killed him roughly 15 to 20 times. I didnt really count, I just know it was from 10 pm to 11 pm, prior to hitting the hay and listening to Last Podcast on the Left while farming. Im on Xbox one, so my load times are bad at the start but by the time itās been running awhile they are roughly 45 to 60 seconds per load screen.
I thought maybe I was farming the wrong guy or perhaps I needed to finish the complete murder mystery side quest before he drops it. But it sounds like it was per bad RNG. Ill try again tonight.
By the way, has anyone noticed a difference in drop rates from Mayhem 10 to Mayhem 11?

Revolter always took me a bunch of runs to get it to drop. Figure the drop rate was lower than published.
I got a revolter about 4 hours ago. One out of ten tries.
no hes just a lil bitch, took forever and 2 firstborns to get one with vagabond parts
He drops, but as usual dedicated drops suck really hard
I noticed that in the last week or so, Iām hardly getting any legendary drops in Mayhem 6.
I didnāt get to play last night so I didnāt get to see if he was still stubborn but I have a quick side question:
How do I get Terror Annointments? I have the Cartel event active, do I just switch that to the Captain Haunt one and re roll at Crazy Earlās or do you have to have the event active and actually farm to get a terror annointment?
My understanding is you need Bloody Harvest active. Not sure if the Terror anoints then show up in the re-roll machine or not, but they were all over the place for me while BH was on.
You can re-roll into terror annoints if the events active
Which is a good thing to remember if youāre hunting for a base game annoint so you donāt waste rolls!

Number of attempts matters, time to do it does not. If his drop probability for Revolter is 15%, and you did it 15 times, probability of not getting one is:
(1-0.15)^15 = 0.087
So, roughly 9% likelihood of not getting a drop. Unlucky, but as far as statistics go - āit happens all the timeā.

When BH is active terror anointments get the front seat 
I think you can still reroll to standard anointments (i hardly played BH, only to get a better ghastcall)
When itās not active the reroll will NOT have terror anointments in the list.
So with that, a warning for people who are using the reroll machineā¦
If you want a standard anointment, disable BH otherwise youāll be adding a ton of anointments to the list and will blow your eridium. (and i think it prioritised terror anointments)

This is correct. If BH is active, weapons with terror annointments can reroll into standard annointments using Earlās Reroll Machine. This is the only time terror annointments can be rerolled. They wonāt be selectable for reroll otherwise.

Just a quick note, go check your lost loot machine in sanctuary, often times when killed near walls (and 75% of times when you kill him as soon as he spawns) he will drop his loot inside walls so you wonāt see any items. I farmed him for 30 mins on my Moze and he wasnāt dropping anything (was 1 shotting him on spawn with Iron Bear), then I went back to sanctuary and 3 ReVolters in the lost loot machine.

Ok, I finally got to play last night and my very first fight with Sumo he dropped the Re Volter. Then on the 3rd kill he dropped another. So thanx for all the replies guys but it was just crap RNG.
Thanx again
