For worst loot haul ever. I've just completed playthrough 1 of both BL & DLC3, and Playthrough 2 of BL with my new Hunter build, and I've never had such poor loot. Not one Hellfire; two mediocre Volcanos (both Level 34); 2 fairly ordinary Firehawks, neither with a decent scope; only two Defilers, and only one of them with a scope, and I didn't get that till after Old Haven in playthrough 2 - I had to do it with a Vitriolic Equalizer from DLC3, for chrissake! I found one or two other legendaries, mainly weapon types that were no use to me, and I did find a good Level 48 Scoped Hornet which got me through the Crimson Fastness stage very nicely, but all in all it's been hard going. Thank God for Trespass, or the Eridian Promontory would have been damn near impossible.
Admittedly I probably didn't do as much farming as I have in earlier builds, and I only completed the core story line missions in playthrough two, but I did at least ten Armory runs in DLC3, and I farmed the Salt Flats, The Back Door, & Crimson Fastness a few times in Playthrough 2. It got to be that every time I'd open a chest I'd be staring at two white rarity combat rifles or another white rarity launcher - it got very depressing.
There hasn't been some sort of automatic program update that has reduced quality of loot, has there? Or have I just been really unlucky? Outbackyak 08:46, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
Personally i think its no newhaven farming... you dont notice all the great stuff you get from there till they took that away.Veggienater 09:53, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
I'm playing through again as a Hunter too. Bout half way through playthrough one. No loot worth picking up yet. Opened a red chest last night, and it had nothing in it but a single crappy repeater. I think the game hates me. This is why a workbench would be nice, and also why I have WillowTree.. I like to pretend there's a workbench and swap parts onto found guns. Keeps the game moving once you've done your first char, farmed til you dropped, and started a new one. Plus there's no screwing around with guns that ought to have scopes lacking them. Although, making a Skullmasher with no scope and pretending it's a really slow shotgun it kinda funny... WhackyGordon 11:07, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
The red chest on the cliff where you do "Product Recall" will always contain a single, terrible repeater. I assume that's what you opened. --
