Which gun vendors sells LMG blueprints?

[Pinhead Larry]

I'm trying to play as a DAKKA DAKKA style character but I cannot for the life of me find ANY good LMG blueprints, let alone legendary ones.

I swear I've checked every single gun store on the map and none carry LMG blueprints of any rarity.

Anyone know which one I should wait-scum outside of to get one to spawn in their inventory?

Only LMG blueprint I can recall is either a rare or epic (don't remember which) blueprint for the defender that drops from the boss of one of the suspected organized crime points in watson.

Unfortunately access to the legendary Defender is limited. You probably already screwed yourself out of it.

You have to resolve the early Maelstrom mission for the Flathead bot peacefully. To do this you don't talk to the miltech woman. Buy the Maelstrom bot with your own money (10k) and do not attack Royce when he turns his back. Let the quick time event time out.

Do all the above and you'll be able to return to the warehouse and in the garage where the bossfight would happen you'll find a vendor that sells the legendary Defender.

lol calm down, first of all, there's CET and you can give yourself anything, and secondly that's not even true about buying a legendary one. You asked about blueprints not just getting one.

I'm playing a blades/annihilation solo right now, and I have found multiple legendary defenders for sale; I found one early on at that little bazaar area in Arroyo (Santo Domingo), near where the beat on the brat soldier guy is, where the food stall guy asks you to do something for him...

The city center one uebie might be talking about, I got the other one much later (~25 levels more improved) at the plaza where the NCPD robots and operator are out front, Cannery Plaza in Wellsprings (The Glen)

And I'm sure I've seen others too. Just didn't need them. As for this being a 1.6 change, I have no idea, first time I've carred about LMGs and they freakin' rock.

Still haven't found either LMG blueprint this run (does the new one have one?) but I've found all kinds of blueprints and perk points I didn't find last run, apparently they randomized the locations of stuff in 1.6? So always loot everything, everywhere.

[LaNutMeg Fairy Field ^v^]

with the current patch 1.6 it's hard to tell, it is randomised

I've waited 24 hours multiple times outside of every weapon vendor (Probably a combined 200+ times, I stopped counting after waiting 24 hrs for the 80th time) and I only ever see smart submachine gun blueprints, Nekomata blueprints, and the double barrel power shotgun blueprints. None of the shops ever cycle in any other types of blueprints.

Seen legendary Defender sold at Kabuki weapon vendor, no blueprints though.

There's a suspected crime event in wattson that drops the blue defender specs (Barry Alkin)
The vendor in kabuki sells the legendary defender. I'm doing a STR/INT/TECH build as a corpo and honestly the Blue defender with a little work just melts everything Im running into so far on very hard, aside from the cyberpsychos (haven't started doing those yet - level 22). Under annihilation: Bulldozer, Hail of bullets 3/3, Crafting: Field Technician 2/2, and slot some crit chance mods into your kiroshis, pop +damage mods into the defender and there you go. 1 belt of 100 rounds and most fights are over.

I've only seen the new LMG a couple times, haven't seen a blueprint yet though. Seems to just trade Rate of fire and mag size for more raw damage and recoil. Same animations too, might as well be a defender reskin.

Why is this the ONE GUN nobody sells crafting specs for outside of a single vendor that you wouldn't know even exists without a guide?

I screwed myself out of Lege Tech Shotgun 1st playthrough by not getting the Maelstrom merchant, thankfully the epic one with -50% charge time you can get is better.

[Bogmore]

Isn't the LMG Defender tied to your crafting level?

[Anatolius]

Should be random, i've recently looked for legendary revolver/pistol blueprint - only found epic, however i've seen at least 3 vendors selling crafting spec for same legendary SMG.

That's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wild considering I just felt like clearing all of watson of gigs and crime activity before talking to dex just because i felt like it.
