Legendary Loot Midget are dropping nothing.

[poo]

I recently went into UVHM and was excited to farm for the LLM. I have done 3 runs of this already but haven't got a single legendary, yet alone a gun. When I see people on youtube farming LLM's, they get so many legendaries. Am I not farming enough or did Gearbox make it so that LLM's dont drop Legendaries anymore?

The LLM's *can* drop nice stuff. It is by no means a sure thing. Most of the time you get ammo and money (Um, yay?). In UVHM they start dropping the various Ancient relics and occasionally legendaries and pearls.

It is all down to the game RNG. If you have offended the game RNGods in some way, you will not be rewarded.

Stay with it. The LLMs do drop legendaries, but as you are learning, you shouldn't always trust what you see on YouTube gaming channels as representative of real drop rates.

For me the LLMs are still a great source for legendary weapons, although you'll certainly see relics from them on a more regular basis.

As z00t indicated as a very experienced player, it's all RNG. Sometimes you'll have multiple runs with the LLMs and will have 2-3 legendaries; then these will dry up for the next 30 runs, over which time it's all relics and cash.

The more scrupulous YouTuber's will acknowledge the efforts put into whichever endeavour they are illustrating. They'll edit out the fails, but will at least tell you about them.

For many of the rest, it's all about the views.

Thankyou Bringoutyerded and z00t for thoroughly explaning this to me. Really help :)

No problem. Your post got me interested in farming them again. Fifth try, just had a Slagga drop.

Previous four runs, all relics, mainly Blood of Ancients.

I did my 15th run just then, I only got ammo and money. I guess I just have to keep trying.

I'm farming them now at OP2. You can join me if you like, or friend and invite me to your game. Should increase the odds. Are you level 72?

[poo]

I am level 50 because I can't afford any dlc xd

[poo]

But thanks for the offer :)

Hmmm. Maybe I'm missing something. If you are level 50, having just made it into UVHM, how can you farm them at the Wildlife Preserve? You'd need to progress through the story in that mode until Tannis offers you the Doctor's Orders mission.

Are you farming them in TVHM?

[poo]

I am level 50 because I dont have the 2 +11 levels dlc's so I am stcuk being level 50 throughout my UVHM playthrough as well. And at the moment, I have just finshed kiling bloodwing in UVHM and thats why I can farm LLM's. But in the future I would like to get the upgrades so that I can become level 72 and expand on my builds :)

So I am farming them in UVHM right now.

Thanks for the explanation, it makes sense. I've been fortunate to have had all the DLC from the start, so hadn't thought of that.

It's a different experience, but have you tried farming the chest at the end of Hero's Pass? Once you get there, there's no fighting involved, but you'll need to open the chest, quit/save and repeat quite a few times before you get a legendary. Thankfully each open is very quick so you can open it many times over a short time span.

Good luck with farming the LLMs!

I've had better luck with them in Sawtooth Cauldron than the four in the boxes in Wildlife Preserve. I'll tell you though, dont get too hopeful with them. Of the maybe 50 or so that I've killed, I've gotten maybe three oranges, and one pearl. They do drop a lot of those ancient relics though, which are quite useful. I am wondering, what is RNG?
