How the ♥♥♥♥ increase rarity of drop in OG Borderlands?

[Buyaga Dodzyo]

My eyes physically hurt from playing Borderlands Enhanced, but in Enhanced drop rates are redicilous compare to OG game where it is now near impossible to obtain good loot without cheating. I've tryed to deal with Enhanced to deal with it inflicting real pain to my eyes - nothing helps. I've found some part of a code which supposedly do what I need, but I'm not a programmer to do it. Search of tweaking or anything - found norhing...
I'm not interrested in cheating via WillowTree and etc. Also it is real physical pain for me to play in Enhanced... Looks like I forced to search pirated older version of OG game which also are pain, because any I found are up to freacking date... Wish to do some bloody nasty things to Pitchford & Co... Because of this shіt.

You'd need the UDK to modify drop rates. Unfortunately, to get the UDK, you need a retail (disc) goty copy of the game. I'm not sure what you mean by 'good' loot, do you mean legendaries? They aren't needed, and a blue or purple will often carry you 20+ levels.

Earlier versions have an even lower chance of dropping rare weapons, I'm currently going through version 1.0


Probably many people forgot about “numplayersetter”, which emulates the number of players from 1 to 4, thereby strengthening opponents and making item drops more rare

You can try find table for the cheat engine, it’s not difficult to find, but you need to test

Best drop was something around versions 1.3-1.4. At that time it be real to found at least one perfect gun(all parts class 5 top parts) whith each armory run and full inventory of legendaries... Actually exactly same droprate was when I check it in Enhanced and now looks like it was lowered there also, but not that drastically. Yeat again my eyes physically hurt from "Enchanced" and it ain't no jocke.
Also setting player number not increase quality of loot significantly enough to evaluate ridicilous sponginess of enemies. On players nember 4 You got same amount of acceptable gear, but it be like instead of class 1-2 parts it be class 1-3 and random against You.
Found it unspeakably dumb to decrease rarity of drop in looter shooters in general. And some kind of grind trying to add in EVERY game nowadays... I'm not a gambler and I wish to do some extremely nasty things to arseholes who made games into "one handed bandits".

I am quite happy with numplayersetter, more mobs, better drops of rare ones (not everywhere, with the same containers, they are different, different loot, there are also certain places where rare loot drops better). I don't need the best loot right away, it kills all the interest in the game, I like balance.

I didn’t play version 1.3-1.4, I have no idea what the drop rate was then, if only I had time I could find patches and old versions of the games.

It's worth trying the cheat engine table, the table is called "Rarity Revealer", you can download it here https://fearlessrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?p=3946&sid=d8ddf6f52945443e0661af89fd9ed692#p3946

Never used Cheat Engine... Looks like I download all I need to make it work, but don't get how to make it work. Need to search some guides and test it, but looks like it is close enough to thing I try to do. But it be not soon enough and take a long time.

You need to install the cheat engine program, run the table, double click on Borderlands_1_RarityRevealer_v1.5_Oraz.ct, there will be a request, click on yes, the table is loaded, then you need to select the borderlands.exe process (the first icon with a magnifying glass and monitor), as soon as the borderlands.exe process is selected , switches will be available at the bottom of the program

click on the squares in front of the name to expand the menu, in other words, click on the square in front of the name Item Rarity/Chances - Enable

You intrigued me, I'll probably look for patch 1.3, 1.3.1 and 1.4, I'll try to go through the Knoxx armory, I want to compare the loot, it will certainly take time, but it's worth it

Anything I found and seen differ from this. On page with tabe written about need to change file extention from ".ct" to ".cetrainer". I've installed Cheat Engine v7.5 and just launch resulting file and it automatically opened in Cheat Enjine. However controls of table inside Cheat Engine are pain. Double M1 on a name in a table just called rename/recoment line. I tried to change some values, but not tested result yeat. Also using it mean that I every play session need launch game => tab to folder with table and launch it => posibly even change values every time and it is question if this change loot from enemies also or only from chests...
Please write if You experience any diference in those versions. If it possible also if there be real diference in loot quality from Crawmerax. Actual reason I start tread is that on recent patches in OG Borderlands loot drop quality are such a garbage that it is impossible to play with NOLA FTW Gear Pack and actual diference in drop from enemies will be more viable. Will be appreciate it.

I didn’t try this table on Krawmerax, I used an Oasis on the map, there was a map with a huge number of containers, there you could easily catch loot of any quality and rarity, I used the table for tests no more, of course

If you don’t get the same result as in the early patch, then just look for old versions of the game, because... with new updates, balancing has begun and such rare things no longer drop out that you need

Regarding the extension, I haven’t changed it, I use it as is .ct

I used the rarity revealer cheat table, it didn't bring even 1 pearlescent item
