Forum:Crawmerax not dropping Pearlescent items

Forums: Index > Watercooler > Crawmerax not dropping Pearlescent items

So I've bested Crawmerax about 80+ times and what I've found interesting is that he hasn't dropped any pearlescent/cyan weapons. This is very aggravating and I've just about given up. People say they've found them the first time they've killed him. But how? Is that even possible? And sure lots of orange weapons are good (believe me I have more than I can handle) But they aren't pearlescent. I just want to find one; they look awesome and I'm sure that they are.

So my question to all of you is why is this happening-why is it so hard for him to drop just one cyan weapon? And is anyone else experiencing this problem?

So i don't know if this info matters but:

• I'm a level 61 soldier (support/heavy gunner)
• I have used modded weapons in the past (given to me by good friends) Maybe gearbox knows and is getting me back?!
• I always start with the arms when killing Crawmerax, then the eye, and then I finish with the back.
• I use the "glitched" spot
• I always solo him. I've never killed him in a group as i almost never play online.
• I've never seen a pearlescent weapon in the game. It's like i'm the only person who doesn't have one because nothing drops them!!

Any help and/or advice on this, or even your thoughts about all this would be greatly appreciated.

thank you!

One word:

RARE.

I'm currently at over 150 Craw farming runs with 0 pearlescents. --Nagamarky 16:38, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Dear anonymous,

Killing crawmerax solo is a waste of time since the difficulty and drop is reduced, when farming him make sure your team is big enough to make it profitable. We are only 2 (me and my brother) and since the first day the DLC came out we are creating fake users in our LAN to farm craw [1], maybe this is the best advice I can give. On the other hand dont waste your time with the +2 rare items mod, it's just useless better use a survivor or damage increase to help yourself and the team.M3rc3r's | talk 16:44, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Same boat as you man. I like to think I "properly" play this game i.e. don't just farm Cramerax, kill EVERYTHING, open chests etc.

Tons of AMAZING purples, good Oranges and generally cool looking weapons but not one pearlescent.

I've read that most people get there pearlescents by duping anyway so fuck those assholes.

First time I killed him I got an Omega Shield,third time an awful Tsunami.60-70 times after that and nothing.It's pure luck!The good thing about Crawmerax is that his has given me some of the best purples, which I use a lot like a glorious

massacre with almost 300 dmg and x4 fire and some Atlas Pearl Havocs.I wil keep trying I guess.Biomechanical13 17:24, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
