UVHM Uranus lvl 82 drops capped lvl 79 items

[viske_]

bug or feature? How to make it drop stuff scaled to my level?

It's a feature; RNG. Enemies at max level have a chance to drop weapons down to two levels below your character's level. So at level 80, OP0, loot can drop at levels 80, 79, and 78. You can't do much except using mods. Here[github.com] is one, for example.

Yeah he drops stuff of level 78 and 79, but i've checked every single item dropped (greens,blue..) and none of them never was at 80. Cassius, meanwhile, drops straight lvl 80 items.

I don't think this is true. Uranus is where I got my level 80 (and OP8) legendary class mods.

It's true, I've been in the unfortunate situation where I get level 79 legendaries from level 80+ enemies after doing a fresh reset of UVHM at level 80. It's happened to me at least three times.

I'm OP2 and Uranus drops between level 80 and OP2 for me.

Enemies can drop gear two levels lower than your level in UVHM, don't panic.
Even if enemies are 2 levels higher than you, as long as you've hit the level cap, the game will only drop stuff as high as the level cap of your current playthrough.

If you've been getting lower leveled gear all the time for the past few attempts, RNGesus has just forsaken thee (for the time being) it's a common occurrence.

In my case, the game has not dropped a single Maliwan Plasma Caster since the Fight for Sanctuary update... But you don't see me publicly protest about it.

I've also tried enabling the UCP and opened the Badassitude Vault for guaranteed e-techs, only got Darts, Blasters, and PBFGs every time, for the past several playthrough resets... But you don't see me publicly complain about it.

If I were you, I'd take a break from farming for a while and cry myself to sleep. It helps alleviate the fatigue.
