White Death impossible to get?

[LSPI]

I've farmed the dude (can't remember his name) for a ♥♥♥♥ ton of hours and there hasn't even been a hint of the White Death/Lyuda legendary sniper rifle. I've even grinded long enough to get 4-5 Veruc legendary assault rifles... WTF is this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ drop rate?

[ShinkuTear]

Between Gettel and Mobley, Veruc drops from one, Lyuda from the other IIRC.

It is possible, but RNG is RNG. You could flip a coin and get heads 10 times in a row, you could roll a a pair of dice and get 1-1 3 times in a row, you could kill a boss 100 times and have less then the 3 drops expected.

Btw, the drop rate for any loot from a designated source is around 3% on one of the playthroughs. If that is for TVHM, it is worse on Normal.

[LSPI]

Was farming TVHM. Also, good point on the Veruc-Lyuda boss difference. Still, so bloody annoying!

[Wayward]

I got two Lyuda lying around, but they're not at the kind of level you want them to be (level 9 and 10).

[LSPI]

Lol. Did you farm them or did you just get them randomly?

[Mihryazd]

Had a level 20 drop once when I was doing the mission. After that I haven't farmed for it.

They dropped a few minutes apart when we were level at the approprociate levels :-) It was random loot from random mobs in Three Horns (the place with the happy pig motel)

[Milisim]

I grind those guys alot... they drop enough for me to be happy with them.... not like the warrior or the bunker that are super tight wads with their loot

[ApeWithPC]

I've gotten half a dozen verucs and big fat nada lyudas. Sure does seem like the veruc drop rate is higher to me.

:c

I know this doesn't really help you, but I decided to make some runs at Gettle and Mobley in TVHM yesterday, with a higher level character, just to see what happened. It didn't take many runs before I got a Lyuda. I'd say around 5 or less. I think it was just 3 or 4. The Lyuda was only level 48, so not a good drop, but I did get one.

So, FWIW, it's definitely still dropping. I guess you've just been having some really bad luck (and I had some really good luck, if you ignore the fact that it was under-leveled).

[LSPI]

Bad luck doesn't even begin to describe it. I've grinded it for hours on end, day after day. It's like the coding hates me or something :c. On the bright side, I found a level 50 bee shield in a locker, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

<chuckle> Well, yeah, I guess there's that. :-)

This is a long shot, but try having Steam verify the game cache. I've seen times where someone did that and it _appeared_ to fix some really weird problems.

[LSPI]

Great minds think alike. I just finished verifying the game cache. Can't wait to test it out soon!

[Waste_of_skin]

Good luck.

[LSPI]

Thanks. I get the feeling I'll probably need it
