Forum:Armory Loot vs Crawmerax Loot

Hey everybody. So I've been noticing a debate starting over which is a better source for loot: farm crawmerax or loot the armory. So I thought I'd open up a forum for people to share what cool stuff they have found in the armory... So far I've found some pretty good Volcanos and a shield w/ /2100 cap. 200 recharge and 40% boost. has anyone found any pearlescents in the armory? --pt217

got a PURPLE shield out of the armory, 2600 cap- puts my Brick character to 3560 fully charged-R3N3GAD3FULBLWN

I've only gotten one pearl (undertaker) out of the armory and that was on the Armory Assault armory run. Currently on It's like Christmas and have done it 6 or 7 times and still no pearls. A lot more oranges from the armory over Crawmerax however.. 68.7.179.112 18:51, February 28, 2010 (UTC) Dutchman

If you're only out for money I think the armory is better but crawmerax also gives a high amount of exp but worse drops Karamos 20:30, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

I don't expect I'll need exp though, considering you have to be max level to fight the thing. DrMadHatten 20:31, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Yo, I have currently got quite a few things from the armoury, and a pretty decent Pearlescent shield. I believe that the armoury is the better option - as it is a lot easy to farm, and it gets you way more weapons - along with the fact you still have a chance to get pearlescent equipment. However, I haven't got to crawmerax yet, so I am still undecided - Anacondas1


 * My impression is that it's best to farm the armory until you can actually take down Crawmerax. I happen to play a siren, and could theoretically beat him by myself, but my shield is horrible, so that ain't happening until I manage to upgrade. Similarly, he'll chop up anyone else pretty good in a party if they try to go in there with random junk. --68.80.48.208 03:06, March 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not true. I just killed crawmerax with whittings elephant gun from playthrough 2, a really weak orion from playthrough 1, and a sniper class mod that added 90% critical damage to sniper shots. This was all done at level 49.

Crawmearx loot is horrible. TRUST ME.ISpitch 03:30, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

I've done both crawmerax and the armory multiple times. In my situation I have found some pretty good oranges from the armory, nut i have found a couple of 9 mil weapons. Haven't found a pearlescent yet on either, but the chances with craw sounds to be a lot higher.
