The Perfect Sham

[Lanius]

How many times have you done the Bunker before dropping the perfect sham (94%)?

[bastien]

Bunker drop rate is 10%. The loot pool contains 3 items.
So probability of getting a Sham is 3.33%.

The spawn probabilities for the parts are : 20% for maliwan body, same for battery, and 20% for hyperion capacitor.
So probability of getting a perfect Sham when one drops is 0.8%.

Combining everything gives 0.027% to get a perfect Sham per bunker kill, so around 3750 kills on average.

u will get faster sham from snowman chest then from bunker its super rare ppl who have 5k gametime got it maybe 1-2 in all that time

RNG is RNG, theorical numbers are scary but you can get one first try or you can farm 3k hours and still get nothing. The solution: Gibbed.

I have seen exactly one 94% Sham. Several 91% and lots lower than that.

My various characters have killed the BNK-3R at least a couple of thousand times. I don't really keep count, but when I do get the urge to try again one of my characters who live at the Bunker carries on, and a typical farming session will be a couple of hundred kills. The longest stretch I have done was 450 kills spread over a couple of days. Hmm. Probably a lot more than a couple of thousand times, now that I think about it.

The 94% was a drop during the normal mode story mission.
Sigh.

I still want one at OP8, just so I can remove it from the to-do list.

I farmed a 92% in 500 tries and considered myself very lucky, but if you're a stat freak, bastien's^ numbers can be counted on as accurate --- be prepared for +/- 4K tries for perfection. Have fun

Took me a year to get a perfect op8. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1179982821 Just happened at random one day decided to farm a couple hours and it just dropped after 20-25 kills. Don't remember quite how many it was.

I only go for "element" shields. I have no need for bullets, I try to stay out of heavy fire fights ... Try to play smart but the worst is the Spawning BS, The infinity pistol is OP with my badass rank ........ I guy joined me asked what I was burning everyone with. I backup my save and gave it too him , made him very happy. I just reloaded my save - still have it.
