Does a level 6 to 9 infinity pistol of the corrosive type even exist?

[Sattori]

I've been farming Doc Mercy (level 10) for literally days in normal mode and he has yet to drop an Infinity pistol of type corrosive (or even shock). I've got all of the non-elemental variants as well as the burning variants to drop, but no corrosive or shock.

I'm guessing at this point that corrosive and shock variants do not exist for low level Infinity pistols.

Let me correct that, I didn't realize *where* you were farming at.
It starts dropping corrosive variations at level 32. https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/Infinity/Variant_Chart

Ah thank you for confirming my suspicion.
Kind of sucks because the level 1 hornet is still viable at level 21 in normal mode.
I would think with the higher damage and rate of fire, not to mention unlimited bullets, would do wonders.

It takes a week to get to level 32 dont fret.

Hmm... I honestly don't recall if I've ever seen an elemental one at low levels.

I don't really consider the Infinity very useful (except at groups of trash, like Varkids or Rakks).

If you really want a low level Corrosive weapon, the Hornet is a better bet. Drops from Knuckledragger, always Corrosive.

Yep, I have the hornet, and it does wonders even on level 21 mobs.
I was just wondering if a corrosive variant of the infinity drops at low level since I love the rate of fire on the infinity (and I still use it\, a level 9 vengeful, because I'm cheap on bullets).

Thanks.

Do you have the Teapot?

That's pretty decent at level, and is also always Corrosive.

A loot midget in Wildlife Preservation dropped a level 17 hornet last night.

It is OP.

[raincloud40]

Not sure on the rules for legendary weapon drops. I did have a corrosive Veruc assault rifle drop at level 19 in dust yesterday.

Excuse me for criticizing but farming for a level 9 weapon sounds like an awful waste of time, I mean, weapons in borderlands are good for only 5 levels or so and then you need to get a new one because they stop being efficient against higher level enemies. Just saying.

Sorry I do have to disagree. I just cleared the bunkers with a level 0 hornet. At level 26 the level 0 hornet is still viable, and even OP.

BTW I just got a level 33 corrosive infinity and it is really OP. I compared it with a level 33 gub, and the infinity outperforms the gub. The gub has 1.5x damage over the infinity BUT the infinity has almost 2x the firerate and thus outperforms the gub.

Not to mention infinite ammo.

Oh and btw I still use the level 9 infinity at level 26 nvhm.
