Nerf the Legendary Drop Rate, PLEASE.

[AlastairKD]

I can honestly say I have never played a Borderlands game that throws SEVEN LEGENDARY WEAPONS at you in the SAME campaign mission. I just finished Space-Laser tag as FL4K and the game threw 7 legendaries at me during the mission. That should not happen in a Borderlands game, ever, this completely defeats the purpose of the weapon rarity.

i thought that the current spawn rates was due to an event that's going on till the thirtith.

Nah, current event is boosted drops from badasses/large enemies. A long time ago, was Loot Frenzy, making all rare spawns up full time. They kept that change in, so rare spawns will always be there after quitting and coming back in.

One of the very first enemies you fight in game, Dumptruck is an example, he only spawns once and its during a quest Ellie gives you. During which he has a random chance to drop a legendary Jakobs shotgun that only spawns from him.

if you mean the bullpup, that's a quest reward and a unique.

otherwise, conference call is a world drop.

There's oddly nothing like that in BL3 though, so would be impossible to give an example. There are certain things you will try and do to get a better item of something else though. E.I. Backup your save before getting the Pearl from Claptrap, to try and get one with good rolls. Restoring the backup to try again later.

Point being pre-sequel before patches was probably the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for drops in the series. it took them patching in one shot enemies loot tables into the sentinel to balance out.

No, the Tidal Wave is a Jakobs legendary that only he drops.

Incorrect sir. Tidal Wave is a random drop from any source. Had tons drop from Graveward, baddasses etc.

You do realize that you min/max your gear until you get the perfect one for your build/playstyle. It was like this in 1, with the droprate. Some were good, others were bad. I remember farming New Heaven for hours getting multiple Pestilence Defilers till I found the right one. 2 was more grindy in that regard.

3 is getting close to a healthy blend between 1 and 2 in regards of scaling, grinding, and what not. Still has a way to go though.

[Abysswalker]

You need these kind of droprates to farm for the right anoints. This is where the real farming begins. Main Story farming doesnt matter.

It feels like you're getting so many with how many legendaries they've added though, in solo I've been walking out with 4 or more each mission. My locker is filled with 100 from my very first run on both difficulties as Amara

For curiosities sake, did you have BA rank/luck modifiers or just running without them? atleast later on in the playthrough.

loaded dice can make quite the difference.

Start tossing ones you can't use. Compare the stats, know which ones do the most damage.
e.i. Binary Prefix on Maliwan Weapons. Anarchy Shotguns with at least x18, x20 preferred. Spooling Prefix on Projectile Recursion etc etc.
Junk ones with crap anointments. Does it have bonus damage on Phaseslam, Phasecast? 100% weapon damage on action skill end? etc.. If not, junk it, not worth keeping.


Those are the things you have to look out for. I know we got into a tiff before, but the difference between a weapon with good stats vs bad, and crap anointment vs great ones is MASSIVE. Talking 200%+ differences in damage. Something important to pay attention to once Mayhem 2.0 comes out.

No, I've been putting all my guardian tokens into that blue tree so I dont have any luck boosts that would do this.

What about Jakobs weapons? I've gotten sick of Amara and FL4K has more interesting dialogue and gameplay and everyone has been telling me Jakobs guns synergize insanely well with him

if you're using fade away (stealth, auto crit on all shots, with a mod removing the shot limit for a shorter duration on fade away), then jakobs can melt entire rooms.

was so busted fl4k was the most played on release on epic.

So it depends on the action skill then? What would work best if I used gamma burst or rakk attack?

Jakobs are still a solid choice, since fl4k has a fair number of skills that work off crits.

Fade away is just his biggest enabler for those, otherwise, fl4k doesn't specialize in any given weapon in a way like other classes.
