Forum:Borderlands 2 weapon drop guides

Hey guys. This might turn out like a bit of a rant, but just bear with me :D

So, I wanted to ask about the legendary weapon articles that include a drop guide. Now, it's my understanding that oranges are random drops like in the first game. But on most pages it says: "Drops from Smash Head." or "Drops from The Warrior.". Spoiler alert: they don't. They could drop, of course but should someone add it in as a guaranteed drop just because they had it happen to them? I think it's really misleading. A few of my friends that I play BL2 with have already fallen for it. "Hey man, let's go kill Mick Zaford in the clan war this time, it says on the wiki that he drops a legendary Jakobs revolver." Then, of course, Mick doesn't drop anything. "OMG THIS IS STUPID WHY DOES THE WIKI LIE IT SUCKS." Yeah.

The last example I can think of is about the Lyuda. "It is dropped by Gettle." No, it's not! I've killed Gettle 4 times already and he has only dropped whites and greens.

I realise that we probably don't know enough about the game yet to be able to say exactly how rare a certain gun is or where it's most likely to drop, at what levels etc. but should we leave in this (partially) wrong info about how guns drop?

I could be wrong though. Do bosses have an increased chance to drop a certain legendary? Let me know your thoughts on this and the topic above. Auntarie (talk) 09:03, October 23, 2012 (UTC)
