Legendary Drops in Normal Mode.

[EspiOne]

I just started to play, actually only about 2 hours during Turkey Day.

I understand from reading the forums that farming is something that has been taken away with some Boss/Mini Boss Fights.

Can I expect any at all or not at all orange drops in normal mode??

I am currently at level 7, I believe, either way, does not matter, I have been picking up and selling most of the time, but I decided to get golden chest items, Since I had like 50 keys, (yeah, I stockpile them, from shift codes).

Any whoo.... excuse my ignorance, as I have just started the game and expect to get back to it in about three more weeks, I have some IT exams to study and take before Dec 20th.

Thanks ahead of time.

you're more likely to find them in the vendor(s). sometimes in a treasure chest. something like 80-90% of the legendaries don't drop from bosses, just the vendor and grinder loot tables.

my advice is to not worry about it. at all. if you find a lvl 11, or 24, or 38 golden gun, it'll help leveling up no doubt, but it'll be quickly obsolete.

the real loot grind is at the level cap, which is currently 50. but even lvl 50 legendaries will be obsolete when the cap is raised ...

hope that helps. :)

I'm level 50 in 2 playthroughs (completed all missions in first, only main and some side in second) and it's only taken 56 hrs, so it's possible.

As for legendary drops, they're pretty rare, I got majority of mine from either excessive farming or vending/grinder...

well , it will take them some time to realise that this legendary-system sux , but remember: a year after bl2 was released , bunker was still bugging , so.... btw vendors and iwajira ---> grinders are the most easy way 2 get legendaries. If you have 2 legendaries around the same level , double that save , grind the legendaries and put the new legendary into the chest that lets you trade btween characters and now you can make infinite legendaries! make sure to always make a save that you dont grind

Got this from RedBelly on my 1st play : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=328196903 (no exploits, no farming)
I also found Rolling Thunder gernade mod as a random drop if I remember well, sth around 20lvl so it is not that rare.

So.....basically, finding a "free"(dropped) orange is like trying to get a date with that hot chick.

50/50 %, if you try hard enough, maybe, maybe not. Or you can just settle for the less hot chick (vending machine) and everything will be fine.

Thanks for the comments. My whole time playing BL2, I only got some orange from Bad Maw, on my upteenth playthur.

at level 30 you can farm the boss for the rocket launcher and get a couple then go to the grinder and make a orange, i made like 10 of them so far

Nah, I get quite a few legendaries per run. Drop rates are better.
