he drops nothing for me :/

He drops the Fastball, you just gotta keep trying until RNG is nice to you.

That gunzerker method is ugh. Takes specific gear to accomplish. You can just go back from frostburn canyon and go on right when you spawn inside the camp, jump over the containers and take a car, then with the car do the small jump on the right and you arrived.

The drop chance isn't too bad (UVHM). I've farmed explosive, shock and corrosive ones in one hour or two.

Btw in Normal or TVHM the chance is very low

In fact, chances are the same in normal, tvhm and uvhm.
However, in normal mode boll will drop a fastball around lvl 13, so the only way for the op to get a lvl 32+ is to move to tvhm.

"Bosses have an increased Legendary drop rate and chests have a better chance of containing rare loot."


This is also noticeable while just playing. I've never seen a boss drop their related legendary item in normal. I've had a bunch of oranges from bosses in TVHM thogugh. So the chances definitely scale up.

Never seen an orange in normal mode, that's unlucky to say the least. Just try Knucle Dragger a dozen times and you should get a hornet.

Unless i am mistaken, the article does not say anything about increased chance for assigned legendary. However, my experience suggests that the chance is the same.

Clearly says bosses, like Knuckle Dragger. From my experience it's easier to get legendaries in UVHM

My mistake, i missed the beginning of the general section.
Let's agree to disagree then :)

[ShinkuTear]

On Normal mode, enemies with specific Legendary loot have a 9% chance of dropping it. Used to be 3%. Knuckle Dragger, The Warrior, Savage Lee, The Bunker, Terramorphous... 9%, all around.

UVHM just boosts that rate even further.

After a search on gearbox sites, i found the following pages :
Inside the Box: Evolution of Loot[www.gearboxsoftware.com] which says : Bosses have a 1 in 30 chance of dropping their assigned legendary weapon (that was before the october 3x drop rate increase)
and
Does the Legendary Hotfix affect Uniques and other drops [forums.gearboxsoftware.com] which says : With this buff the chance of getting that Legendary would now be 1:10 or 10% across all modes

thanks guys

Just keep killing Boll. He's a short run and an easy kill. One of the easier farms, for sure.

Just to clear this up, the droprates for legendaries dropped by bosses are exactly the same in normal, true and ultimate vault hunter-mode!! I did a lot of farming runs in all playthroughs, and its always the same result: between 9 and 12% .
The only difference is, in uvhm the loot scales to the players level.

This applies to mini, story and raid bosses the same. As i dokumented all of my farming-runs this id not a speculation but facts!

I think i have fire,corrosive and shock fastballs. Also non elemental if im correct. Add me and you can have one
