What was that? You’re doing a BL2 evening?!!

Sort yourselves out. Be socialable. Use the dedicated MEWME Discord channel. MEW Multiplayer Evenings needs to become a thing again!

Looks like Gearbox is showing off the game at their E3 event tonight.

Another game with a milestone anniversary coming up… Borderlands 3 has its two-year launch anniversary in a few weeks’ time (13 September).

To celebrate the second anniversary of Borderlands 3 on September 13, 2021, we have five weeks of mini-events lined up to show our appreciation for your passion and support!

Starting August 12, the fan-favorite Loot the Universe series of mini-events that reward you with loads of Legendary loot for seeing (then shooting) the planetary sights will be back. Each week during Loot the Universe, Borderlands 3’s planets will take turns becoming a bastion of better drops, with specific types of Legendary loot having increased chances of dropping in one of that planet’s zones. And of course, you’ll get to keep all the bonus Legendary loot you find during these mini-events!

For those that haven’t played in a while, there has been a lot of bug fixes, gear balancing and drop rate adjustments. That adds up to the game being in the best state it ever has.

Drop rates are not ludicrous anymore, outside of online events, they are closer to what BL2 is. So legendary drops are satisfying again. There are dedicated enemies/gear drops, for focused farming. Anoint re-rolling means it’s not impossible to find the gear/prefix/anoint that you want or need for your build.

That all said, the Loot the Universe event with increased drop rate in specific locations, and specific gear, is more meaningful, because the drop rates are so much lower normally (outside of events). The incentive is definitely there to go play again, especially with certain maps, dropping more of certain gear types.

Droughts: SMG’s and Classmods
Devils Razor: Assault Rifles and Grenades
Ascension Bluff: Snipers
Splinterlands: Pistols
Konrads Hold: SMG’s
Carnivora: Shields and Assault Rifles
Guts of Carnivora: Launcher
Cathedral of the Twin Gods: Shotguns and Artifacts

New vault cards aren’t too bad, but the new relic is a game changer, that ups non-dedicated drop rates (aka world drops) to +1000%. This can stack with the Loot the Universe event. So, what you have is, for general mobbing, you’ll find a shit ton of random legendary drops.

One last thing to think about: Since it’s Pandora’s turn for increased drop rate, now is the best time to level a new character, because you start off on Pandora

Finally! I have been wondering about that since its release.

I need to bring myself to finish the campaign on this one character so I can get into the real meaty stuff.

Every page for gear, has a How to farm section, where you can see who the dedicated drop is, and the location to find them.

Gear → How to Farm → Enemy → Enemy Location.

Some exceptions to this are special quest rewards, like the Bekah and Pearl of Ineffable Knowledge. Though the list of exceptions are tiny. More importantly, all the go to top 10 weapons or gear are farmable.

Beo · August 16, 2021, 10:52am

Thanks for sharing, I’m not really one to follow the meta but this certainly helps in finding the ones that I actually want to farm out of enjoyment.

The last big patch screwed up performance (at least on Xbox) and they haven’t bothered fixing it yet. The game will stutter for a second or two like every minute. Its annoying as hell.

I got a little bored with Borderlands 3, but might jump in again.

I’m at 10% installed, so maybe there’s a chance it will run… I’ve seen mixed results using proton (linux talk)

aldyr · May 20, 2022, 7:02am

Whoever got the free version of BL3 on Epic, and needs rent-a-crowd, I am always game to do co-op playthru again, most week day evenings. Warning, i come with n biejtie kak praat on discord though.

murfle · June 10, 2022, 7:29am

Ya, so I got this to run. I’m enjoying it.

So many legendaries!!

aldyr · June 10, 2022, 7:43am

When are you jamming again, and what level are you? I’ll join!

OH! Proton?

murfle · June 10, 2022, 8:00am

I think I’m around level 6 or so. I’ve been playing co-op with a friend in Israel so its pretty much when he’s available.

I think my SHiFT name is Disco.Bear, so add me and you’re welcome to join in.
