Didn’t someone crunch the numbers and come to the conclusion that Mayhem 2 is the most efficient for general farming?

no the etech shotguns were actually buffed 50%
E-tech shotguns were nerfed in the 9/19 patch, the only stated change after that was a 50% buff to tediore etech shotguns specifically.
Theoretically there should have been no changes to the interloper for months. Although they did just change the recursion which is the legendary version so idk. I don’t think I have a copy stowed away anywhere

Let there be more enemies and let them be more lethal. Let them deal a lot of damage. But they should not be bullet sponges.
I cheat becuse that is the only way to make this game fun to play. Maliwan takedown on mayhem 4 is a challenge. The enemies can often one shot me. So even though i can one shot them it is still a challenge, and i die a lot.
If i dont play on mayhem 4 then i only get crappy non anointed loot. It is like mayhem 4 is the new mayhem 3 when it comes to loot. After mayhem 4 the loot on mayhem 3 has become crappier, i believe. It seems like that anyways. I own almost no anointed gear. It is like the only give me the same no anointed loot over and over again. But even if they did give me all the best loot. The enemies would still be boring bullet sponges, i think.
Most enemies can and do 1 shot if you don’t have any passive healing upkeep on your character or you run in guns blazing. Anointed gear isn’t necessary to succeed in dealing damage so most enemies are pretty easy to tear through even on mayhem 4 if you have a good build… Mayhem 4 on the Maliwan takedown is auto set for 4 people so that might be a good thing to look into as far as modifying the game with cheats. As far as legendary drops, if you are that desperate for drops farm the Agonizer. Gives plenty of drops and is pretty quick. But what is it you want out of Borderlands as a franchise? What builds are you using? Are you even having fun?
This ■■■■ is about to get shut down…

I have playd Borderlands 1 Borderlands 2 and now Borderlands 3. And i think, the enemies have become worse with every number.
Perhaps you are right, perhaps Borderlands is not a game for me anymore.
Who cares anyways!
I think you should play on TVHM mayhem 0. And maybe post your build, gear, and guardian rank specs. I think plenty of good and fun loot drops in this game. Even when I’m not in mayhem mode.
I’ve never heard of that before,but I have entire builds going through mayhem 4 with “garbage” so I must not know much

It’s a Non Elemental Maliwan Shockwave Shotgun dropped ONLY by Mouthpiece. And it wrecks. No charge time. (You do have to press and release though). It’s freaking awesome.
So much salt, so little substance to OP.
Do you think the game should just hand you everything on a platter because you clicked a button?
You’re in for a lifetime of disappointment, I think.

Sir, you didn’t grind well enough for better gear. Or you play the game wrong.
And generally I’ve never thought of Borderlands as a one shot, one kill game. For what it’s worth. Unless I am over level. But then everything is too easy. BL1 was notoriously easy to be overlevel in. Generally, the best course to keep things at normal difficulty in any BL is to only do side missions/xp when your level is less than the campaign story mission level.
But perhaps you’d prefer playing the other way. Play every side mission as you see them and you’ll always be over level to the main mission. One shot most stuff.
Also, as i recall, there is a difficulty setting somewhere in the menus for BL3. I don’t even know what it does, but maybe you should consider using it.

And I hear that today or tomorrow they are hotfixing in better drop rates for bosses and better spawn rates for rare spawns? That might help your issue too.

this thread has spiked my sodium levels, but has been so worth reading
There is more than one way a game can be challenging. I have explaind in what direction i think the game should go. I hope the creators listen. But if not then it is just not a game for me.
OP, they’d have more to work with if you explained it in a way that is realistic rather than just saying that enemies shouldn’t be bullet sponges, and that you have to cheat to kill them. they are already in large groups and they are already lethal with high dmg output. i mean realistically what would you want to see? cause recommending larger groups of enemies and making them more lethal isn’t really, well realistic.
edit: and i mean on mayhem 1 you still get the same gear you would on mayhem 3 at a lower drop rate, but it’s the same level, and same kind of annointments. 4 has a few extra guns from a few select bosses.
Sometimes it’s okay to have a super chunky enemy.
Gross. Isn’t that what the Call of Black Ops games are for? That’s thankfully never been Borderlands.
Yeah, cheating does that. Don’t doo eet.
What? Yeah, different planet you are on.
If the guns are boring to you why bother?
Cool band name.

Oh, I am sorry you feel that way. If that is the way you feel, don’t play.
