Doc Mercy drop

Has anyone confirmed that he can drop it or is it just because he's a boss. I got one from Captain Flynt when I first killed him at level 8. Jordan the first (talk) 23:54, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Apparently, it is the most common Jackpot reward (did a test here with cheat engine forcing jackpot. got an average of 8 infinity, most of them without any effect). Tsukiyomaru0 (talk) 05:44, October 7, 2012 (UTC)

I got one from him. Lordofduh (talk) 00:33, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Same here, got mine from doc mercy. Soyweiser (talk) 15:00, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

same here from that dude, but I'd say there are other varients in the borderlands....as there is 87 bazillion gunz it will take a long time for us to find every one

Indeed, there is at least a flame variant which information I put in the info page, but apparently someone didn't believe me, so they took it down. If I could upload images, I would glady...The gun is called a Burning Infinity,( level 39 when I got it) and I got it from Doc Mercy after about 50 fights.

Drop Chance

I've killed Doc Mercy over 200 times counting now, and he still hasn't dropped the Infinity. Does anyone know the percentage of the drop rate or something? Because in my experience it's below 1 in every 200 times. Ishi (talk) 23:45, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

In Normal Mode, it should be 1:20, but it might take 100 tries to get it, or you could get in the first time you kill him. Except, well, it would be low level. Dunno about the ratio in TVHM, but might be higher, as chances increases greatly on TVHM. Tsukiyomaru0 (talk) 03:37, October 13, 2012 (UTC)

Doesn't seem like it. Seems like every legendary has an insanely low chance to drop. I've only had 3 drop in my 2 entire playthroughs including farming the crap out of bosses. It's like trying to get a pearlescent in the first game. Ishi (talk) 13:06, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Duel-wielding Infinities?

If I recall correctly, one of the Gunzerker's skills makes his guns fire increasingly faster provided you hold the trigger down. If this is true and you duel-wield Vladof Infinities... Jordan the first (talk) 18:23, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

I do this quite often, usually if I'm low on ammo or if I feel like messing around. The max increase is 80% fire rate, but you can still keep increasing during reloads, grenade chucking or even meleeing which I sometimes use to stall and let my guns "spin up" rather than waste bullets at the lower fire rate and have the guns reloading once they reach top speed or so.

Yes, it is amazing with Sheriff's Badge (from Sheriff of Lynchwood), increases rate by 45% or so. Except, the problem is that you don't get a firing boost from Locked & Loaded. What's more fun is wielding an infinity and another pistol (hopefully high consumption/fast reload). Since reload takes ammo from the ammo pool (including the one from the infinity), there is a chance that the Infinity's magazine will become 0. The skill "Inconceivable" might trigger and as long as you hold the fire button, and every shot will grant you bonus damage from "Money Shot". (Try love thumper for higher chance of Inconceivable as well as bonus from "Out of Bubblegum"). 99.20.65.50 20:01, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

Smaller, Lighter, Faster bug. Or is it a bug?

Probably the fact of that skill breaking the gun isn't a bug but a successful nerf. Look, you are a badass, you got +1050% damage, and you have a gun which doesn't apply accuracy penalties. Man, you will be owning every single enemy you encounter! And if you take The Bee… Just imagine it.

It's none, it's the game doing its job right. The skill lowers magazine size;You can't have -1 ammo in the magazine, even if you have .99 so there's not bug/nerf there. CrackLawliet (talk) 20:03, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

With the exploit of the Evil smasher bug(reload glitch) you can cause an infinity to have ammunition in the magazine, so you can use the Infinity with Gaige. This means that you have to use a bug to circumvent a bug.Hitsito (talk) 01:54, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

Evil Smasher damage buff plus hundreds of anarchy stacks times infinity? Sounds like a great idea... Lorkn ^Talk 15:30, November 29, 2012 (UTC)
