I have SO MANY Legendaries, Why do they Drop so OFTEN?

[ChickensofDeath]

My first couple hours of bl3 i had a full inventory of Legendaries, apparently its because of a shield i got with the Super Deluxe Edition of the game, i am no longer wearing that shield (not that i even remember wearing it) and i still get CRAZY amounts of legendaries constantly. Is this for everyone or does anyone know how to lower the drop rate of legendaries?

[SlackerSupreme]

This is my main issue with BL3 that legendaries are so common that i don't get exited for finding one and i would also like to know if there's away to lower the drop rates so legendary actually feels as if you found something awesome rather than just something you don't mind leaving on the ground

...
it's... an event..
still, prior to the mayhem 2.0 update, legendaries seem to drop pretty often, which was great for farming, but personally it feels like the drop rate has been lowered, even tho there was no mention of it at all. Maybe I just have a real bad rng, but that's my experience with the most recent update.

It's insane how many legendaries drop, even by killing a badass enemy drops up to three legendaries.Is kinda overwhelming the amount of weapons that drop each time, does anybody know if there's a way to disable this limited event time thingy?

[Nite69]

it doesn't matter because most of the legendaries are trash, only select number of them are decent

Legendaries are just a category of weapons now, and not THE gear to be loking out for.

Within all of the legendaries youll find trash to completely OP and broken, also finding one with the right anointments on it (ones you can use) is still "hard", regardless of the droprate.

So yes you are bombarded with legendaries, but most of it is "trash".

[ChickensofDeath]

Wow, thats really dumb. BL2 for sure had a better drop rate system, i dont want legendaries left and right.

The Cartel event makes the cartel enemies show up (they get beamed in). They drop significant numbers of legendaries. When I disable the cartel event (from the main menu before the game starts), the cartel enemies don't show up and the legendaries drop rate falls significantly.

When you reach endgame, you'll be thankful they drop so often...because the grind for a perfect roll can take ages, even with those high droprates.

And farming that is pointless, level cap will change and all your hours of grinding for the "perfect" weapons will be a waste of time.

''shrugs'' Personally I enjoy the cycle of farming.

I don't mind it either, but doing it at this point in time is just pointless, I'll do it when the level cap is final.

Bro I was 5 hours in and my ENTIRE inventory was filled with 8 legendaries and the rest purple items. WTF, the whole point of legendaries is to grind and get attached to certain ones. Not get a legendary from a mini boss 2 hours in the game

Who told you that this was the point of legendaries? Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Most legendary items are ♥♥♥♥, just like most other items. What anoinments do your many legendaries have?

I got an O.P.Q. system in less than 5 minutes into the event and haven't used anything else since, the damage boost over all the other crap I have is insane.
