Pearlescent drop rate in Legendary loot midgets?

[no lol]

Ok I got my first pearl from legendary loot midgets what are the chances I'll get another one?

[HiTmAn]

midgets have very big loot pool i got unforgiven from them someday

The exact drop rate is not known. However Legendary Loot Midgets have an increased chance to drop any of the first set of pearl weapons, so you'd want to keep farming them.

I'm unaware of any official statistics on this. Have heard the pearlescent drop rate in general in BL2 is about 10% the drop rate of legendaries. I have no idea if this is accurate but it seems reasonable based on personal experience. There are only 12 pearlescent guns in BL2 and it took me a few years before finding at least one of each - while I inventory them as collectors items, I've only found that half of them are useful in the game but I find these six to be far more generally useful than the legendary guns. More than that, I'm sorry but I don't have news - I really wish there had been a wider variety of pearl guns and shields in BL2 like there had been in BL1.

I've heard that the Sawbar assault rifle is pretty good in Maya's hands as well as Zer0's, if specced into "Vel0city" and "Accelerate" respectively (especially if it spawns with the Fast Bulets prefix). but heard it really shines in the hands of a Hellborn Krieg

For my Zer0 and Maya, these six have been go-to at various times: Bekah, Carnage, Butcher, Storm, Avenger, Stalker. I'm a big fan of these though most players dislike Storm (I feel it's really good for Gaige too). And most don't take the time to learn the phenomenal pistol that Stalker can be - invaluable for my OP8 Ricochet Trickster Maya build equipping Antagonist shield with 6+ points in each of Kinetic Reflection, Chain Reaction & Life Tap - Southpaw Steam Power is a perfect practice map to test the strengths of this build.

since players tend to favor the Maliwan Snider as a preferred sniper rifle, the Storm is basically an upgraded version of the Snider

Yep all three upgraded Sniders are very fine snipers: Storm, Pimpernal, Volcano but practicality limits the usefullness of Volcano's fire element due to limited long-range targets in BL2 - was a far more useful sniper for me in BL1.

yeah, the Volcano from the original game was pretty strong (maybe borderline OP). though I did enjoy using the Torgue Cobra, since that weapon almost always kills enemies in 1-2 headshots

Actually speaking of the Stalker I recently got it as my first ever pearl drop
