New light blue weapon class?

[Rage 💀]

I just finnished soloing Digistruck Peak on OP8 with my Commando and the final boss dropped a light blue weapon. I haven't seen one of these before.

Thanks

It's a pearlescent weapon, there is a ton of them in the game.

http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Pearlescent (scroll down to the Borderlands 2 section)

[Rage 💀]

Ah I see. Are they better than Legendaries?

[LoboFH]

Some are good, others not so much, it depends, the situation, the class, the enemy, etc.

There are also pink items, the seraph items: http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Seraph

Yeah, I got a few pinks, just never got a Pearlescent before now.

wow...where have you been? Pearlescents all over the last dlc.....some are nice, some are not.If you collect......its fun, but I stick to regulars!!

[TheTwoTonHammer]

There are 13 Pearls if I remember correctly.

In my opinion, the Avenger is an awesome SMG with the built in Ammo regen, and I really want the Carnage.

That's just wierd man because I played almost all of the Assault on Dragons Keep (finnished the main quest line) and didn't get one Pearlescent item.

That's what's so bad about this game......toatally random.......and I think there's no level playing field...now people have to rely on"luck" or their local "file adjuster".......ugh

*going off memory here*

there's these pearlescents:

digistruct dlc:
carnage: a shotgun that shoots rockets, low projectile count, overall nice.(torgue)

wanderlust:a pistol that shoots backwards, then homes in on enemies, low firing speed, not very good.(maliwan)

bekah: assualt rifle, shoots one large,slow projectile that split into three smaller faster ones, kinda nice since you can hammer it. (jakobs)

godfinger: sniper rifle that penetrates enemies similar to zer0's b0re skill, overall nice.(jakobs)

all other pearlescents:

storm: shoots ball of lighting that explodes into smaller ones; shocking all enemies within it's range. high shock power, low bullet damage, overall nice.(maliwan)

avenger: smg, it can come in any element and can be thrown,also refills ammo, ok damage, high scope zoom, overall nice.(tediore)

butcher: shotgun with extremely high shot speed and randomly refilling clip, low damage, high firing speed, overall very nice.(hyperion)

unforgiven: a pistol made by jakobs, unlike ordinary jakobs weapons, this pistol cannot be hammered down as fast. ok damage, overall not too good.(jakobs)

stalker: pistol with shots that ricochet off surfaces, similar to gaige's close enough skill, ok damage, nice firing speed, overall nice.(vladof)

sawbar: assualt rifle with large bulletspread that explode on contact and after a certain bullet limit, high firing speed, nice damage, overall nice.(bandit)

tunguska: rocket launcher with one bouncing projectile, after first bounce creates large explosion, high damage, arcing projectiles, overall nice.(torgue)

bearcat: assualt rifle <iunno that much about it> overall bad.(dahl)

that's all i can remember.

This logic I have never understood. The game is completely possible to play with complete garbage loot (just look at all the people still using Infinities) but if you're lucky you might get better loot which makes the game easier. You don't have to rely on luck, just knowledge and skill. Luck is just a bonus.

edit: Also, pearlescants suck. Some are fun to play around with, but none are better than their Legendary or Unique counter-parts. Best items in the game... Mission rewards. No luck required.

Unfortunately, if you really want a certain variant of a mission reward (Fibber is the most egregious case), you do have to farm it. Still, you can usually make do with the items they give you. It won't kill you to have to use a somewhat different gun than what you wanted (unless it's the Rubi or something).

Was going to create a new thread, but I'll just ask here. Where are people farming the new pearls? I've been trying Arid boneyard and got 4 and all 4 have dropped class mods so far. Just want to hear what others are doing that may be better/faster.

@stereotypical anime character, thanks for all that info, much appreciated :)

a hard but 100% sure way to farm for pearls is going on OP8 and fighting the boss. he has a 100% chance of dropping a pearl, but it's glitched with the new ones.

I have ran the Digistruct on OP8 at least 25 to 30 times, there have been pearls drop more often than not, but there have been times when not a single pearl dropped.
