We don’t know for sure, but if there one it’s small. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Mayhem 10 now has an 100% anoint rate!

Because this is gearbox, this doesn't apply to shields and maybe grenades. Might be patched soon, though.

I think the prime difference between The original Borderlands and the sequels were how the legendaries generated. In the original Borderlands the only thing that made a legendary a legendary was a single component of the gun, everything else was completely random as any other gun would be. This meant that even among the same legendary type, you would still see a huge amount of diversity. Heck, you would sometimes find legenderies with two different legendary parts on them.

I personally think an excelent solution would be bring back "Glitch" style weaponry like the ones found in the Claptastic voyage, that way any weapon could be a unique legendary taking advantage of the entire weapon pool.

BL1 also had that thing where each class was bonused for one specific type of weapon.


I still think the fire/lightning/corrosive rock/paper/scissor balance is kind of crap. At least with such a small amount of weapon slots.

either they REALLY adjusted drop rates or something is busted because I'm barely getting more legendaries from loottheuniverse areas (yes the new ones) than I did from regular farming in old M4

there'll probably be less loot on promethea than pandora because cov tends to have more badasses/anointed

I don't think so, besides scaling the difference between base mode and TVHM is altered elemental damage, and it seems that is applied in all Mayhem modes.

3 people multiplayer is when the badasses spawn very frequently. Generally you want 3/4 people to get the best drop rate and 3/4 instances of the drops using cooperation mode. 1/2 people don’t seem to spawn enough badasses to be worthwhile for anything but boss farming.

no I mean badasses are straight up not dropping legendaries basically ever

like 20-25 legendary drops per enemy dense area has gone down to 2-3, and I always play solo because I have kids that wake up a lot

I am amazed how high polygon some of these heads are and I hate every single one.

And the body stuff is just varying paint jobs. As opposed to varying outfits and clothing. Though based on the helmets they would screw up proper outfits too.

Which area? The Pandora event is over, you need to be on Promethea now. If its consistent for you log a bug with gearbox, maybe they screwed up again.

If anyone needs a M10 legendary, might not have anointment you want, but let me know I have tons to send across shift.

it's incredible, people have done nothing but complain about the heads being 1. nothing but mascot-style animal heads and 2. identical for all four characters and they are actively making progressively worse heads every time

anyway, give FL4K a flower crown. i'm still using the default on them for pete's sake!!

I'm easily getting about 10 per area gathering my decoder rings, solo on M2. Then I get half a dozen in the villa pre-Joey, and half a dozen in the Joey fight.

That will get patched out soon, so you need to always be grabbing the best of everything. The same build takes forever on Graveward because you can't get the orbs to splash through him just like the lob.

is the slaughterstar 3000 just broken? I just beat the game and wanted to go back and do some fun stuff to level to 50's, so I thought the slaughterstar would be fun, and it bugs out on round 2, wave 2 every time. There's a guy I can't see inside a floor/cieling/doorway/crate whatever and it just stops the whole thing so I have to suicide and hope it doesn't happen again, but its happened 3 times in a row... Maybe there's some kind of bug with Phasegrasp/Stillness of mind where I'm lifting a guy into a catwalk?

Also what level should I be to start love & tentacles?

There are some glitchy spawns in the arena, yes.

You're not using a Recursion, are you, cause that can gently caress up enemies on any level?

I think I actually was, it dropped for me in there, so I started using it because I was out of SMG ammo. Can it really just break the game?

It actually can, but I was more referring to the physics from its projectiles. Especially in Arenas, it'll often catapult enemies outside level boundaries/walls.

usually, leaving Cartels on is way more fun, but Slaughterstar wasn't balanced around every enemy popping out 2 bosses. At least not while I'm leveling anyway. I feel like I'm giving up if I have to turn it off though. Like I might as well turn it on super easy mode and start cheating too
