It’s three new effervescent items. Two are dropped by sandworms and one is a mission reward. The Toothpick is an AR, the Retainer is a sheild and the Mouthwash is a relic. The first two drop from sandworms, the third is given by Lilith.
I believe they are designed to work together against Haderax.

Oh I got multiple retainers while doing the DLC.
Cool, thanks.

If you get a Toothpick, then go to the Writhing Deep(you don’t have to fight the raid boss) and you’ll basically fly all over the map.

I’ve heard that the Mouthwash is actually better than, say, a fire Bone when paired with the Toothpick. Hmmm I guess some dummy testing is in order…
(edit: whoops, I just remembered I chucked the only Toothpick I had because it got underleveled and I didn’t really see giving it to another character. Time to farm for another!)

The ar damage is additive however i heard it gives 3x damage to the toothpick which is multiplicative

My TVHM DLC tester. After last week’s fiasco where she got her butt handed to her repeatedly by Hector, we took a breath and went in again.
Jeez went into FFYL a ton going through Mt Scarab getting to Hec. But no deaths.
Right before the hector arena a Pandoran dropped an upgraded Infection Cleaner with almost 1,000 more damage per shot, and that was greatly appreciated.
BTW, if you phase lock in that last stretch of ground outside the area you will aggro Hector (red health bar appears on screen), but I could not yet find a way to exploit this for a safe place to shoot him.
In to the arena. And started throwing Electric Chairs. And killed myself. Arg.
Back up and in.
Steady spamming of the infection cleaner through his 3 phases. One helpful thing with the Cleaner is it’s reload bullet spray can kill the flowers on the blocking vines, so getting Hector un-hidden is a little easier.
And just time this time. No more deaths, just wore him through. Done.
She entered the DLC at lvl 50 and exited the Hector fight at 51, halfway to 52.
on-level Siren against Hector - NVHM trivially easy. UVHM fun but not too tough. TVHM actually posed a challenge throughout the DLC.
Now time for her to pick up a Amigo to hand to another character.
Edit: Dropped her into UVHM to get that going, and she just got a double Bonus Package drop, one from Boom and one from Bewm. In taking 160+ characters multiple times through that section (and farming once or twice) I don’t think I’ve ever gotten that before.

You are the second person today I’ve seen mention throwing Electric Chairs.
What are they?
New DLC Legendary / Effervescent grenade?

Exactly. It’s basically a Storm Front that’s easier to farm and comes in shiny colours.

And kicks more butt than a Storm Front. This from someone who has always used and farmed Storm Fronts relentlessly, the Elec Chair is Better.

I started using grenades aggressively with Krieg only toward the late levels.
Might have to give this a try. That would mean bringing him back in the rooster though.
Farmed this horrible horrible thing for a friend yesterday.
I did tried for a DP when I made it to 80. Settled for a matching grip Intense and it’s better then that thing.
I tell you this cuz he spent hours trying to get a DP.Decided to help him on my side and got … that… on my second run. Tried to tell him it wasn’t that good but he wouldn’t listen. Oh well.
Thing is I forgot to call a mule to buy it so now I’ll have to make a bunch of Pete’s run to get my tokens back. np. Wanted to tried the Amigo and Toothpick on him anyways.
Started working on a little project. If everything goes as plan I should have something to publish some time Saturday.

If I took an unplanned 3 hour nap because I did two big walks this morning and was exhausted, and my game was turned on, unpaused, with Kriegtober standing beside an ammo vending machine, doing his character’s idle patter, and my system / controller never turned off during that time because of how I have my power save settings, and Spotify was playing on low volume, does that mean Kriego took a 3 hour music appreciation seminar?

Kriegosity just organized and hosted a rather lovely tea party.
Clean up was a bitch, though.

Didn’t want to do a Peak run tonight, so just messed about.
One round of Barroom Brawl, maybe collecting tokens for a new UH. Interestingly, while the right folks did drop tokens, no-one dropped any eridium. I don’t think I’ve ever had a BRB where no eridium dropped.
Then to the Dust to try and get an on-level shock lyuda.
9 runs, 2 Tubbies, got a OP5 Leg. Torch. Eh, I am never going to get a psycho to the OPs, gonna sell it.
OP3 Leg Cat, good! Wait, it’s 27 percentage points less damage than my lvl 77 Cat! What the heck!
One Goliath Blaster with a corrosive launcher, oh no! He actually hit me with a rocket, but whew the DOT didn’t proc!
Second tubby dropped me a OP 3 Tunguska. Thanks, might be a interesting 2nd wind gun. Of course the first thing I did with it was blow up a Buzzard 
No Lyudas, not even a Veruc.
That’s it, will do Peak stuff tomorrow evening.

Tried to Pimp Duuurp OP 10 Hyperius a few hours ago. Did not go well. I guess you need a World Burn now?

First up was TVHM Psycho Anarchist, who Fastballed his way through The Burrows and Helios Fallen, then Mount Scarab. Felt like I was going down a lot more than I should have been - those e-tech equipped New Pandoran types are a a pain. One of them dropped my Maya’s DLC head, so I think I only have one left to collect.
Uranus was a giant STINGY PITA - after much searching I found a Gub lurking almost in the scenery, but that was it for anything above purple rarity. Cassius was also a pain until I discovered a glitch spot. At least he was more generous - got a Baby Maker and a Deliverance from him.
Bailed before heading to face Hector since my backpack was stuffed. I checked to see if I had any BAR perks to assign, and discovered I’d spent the whole session with BAR turned off - I must have toggled it to force a save just before farming a mission reward last week some time!
Next on deck was Boosted Axton, also now running main story in TVHM. He did the whole ‘Rescue Roland’ thing without breaking a sweat. An explosive AR, corrosive Gwen’s Head, and none-elemental Thre-Dog did the bulk of the work throughout - most efficient! No drops to speak of, but it was a much more enjoyable run than the Krieg one.

I decided that I wouldn’t try to farm a level 80 Inflammable Hide of Terramorphus because it took too gawd-damned long to get the level 72 version. Also decided that it would be quicker to restart UVHM at level 80 and run through the story to get a new Love Thumper than it would be to level up my one remaining character who had not yet done “Best Mother’s Day Ever” from 72 to 80…
I REALLY hope there’s a way to reset specific quests or level up “special” gear in BL3. (There’s a reason certain… alternatives to mind-numbing farming… are so popular)

I experienced the same. My Duuurp was, however, only op8(but a perfect one). I was able to take him down twice from FFYL. At the old OP8 I could get two kills on Hyp per gunzerk. I was only doing it to get an op10 Evolution. Fortunately he dropped Evo’s on both of my sub par kills so I haven’t tried again since. I may try the World Burn and see how it goes, but I expect that the projectile spread will be too much. May be that we can’t cheese Hyperius anymore.
OT:
Spent a little time in Writhing Deep bouncing around with my Toohpick/Retainer combo. Ran a couple failed attempts at Haderax. I’ve come to the conclusion that @nat_zero_six is right. On console(PS4 anyway) there is no way to get to the “cheese spot” before Haderax spawns. I tried everything I could think of. I decided after a couple runs that I’ll probably be better off learning this kill at op0. I did farm the red chest in the arena for a bit and ended up with a really nice Topnea.
I switched over to my op0 Zer0 and farmed Gettle for a Lyuda. Holy Schmoly!..op0 is so nice after playing at op10 for about a week now. I actually have a chance if I get hit by a DoT. Also with the Amigo, slag is really not necessary. After farming Gettle for about an hour and coming up dry I decided to check my mules…lo and behold, I already have a perfect Gromky Lyuda at lvl80.
Next I farmed for a Chaotic Neutral Rogue at the Unassuming Docks. So far have only gotten a True Neutral. I probably have one(CN) already on one of my numerous Zer0s but I enjoy this farm so I kept at it for a while. Again, the Amigo made it a pretty fun.
I may farm a Fire Conference Call, but I do actually have a Shock w/ matching grip. At op0 this should suffice, no?
