๐ŸŽค [ Discussion ] I was thinking about the sheer quantity of legendary guns in the game and how common they are

0 Upvotes

I do love Borderlands 3 to death but I couldn't help but think about when I logged in after playing Borderlands 4 I noticed on my level 20 something fl4k that every gun and other pieces were legendary and so I was thinking about a way to make them less common and everywhere.

So I was wondering how complicated it would be for mod to take a lot of the legendaries and make them purple uniques sort of like Destiny 2, and then the really powerful and harder to obtain legendaries you could keep orange. I imagine that just changing the color of a bunch of guns instead of actually adjusting drop rates without having to code a new rarity would be more doable and have a decent impact on its own of course functionally it would be pretty similar to how it already is but it would sure make the good legendaries feel more special as you'd be seeing the color orange a lot less. I feel like this could have a good impact on Borderlands 3.

And you could take a step further if you did want to do complicated things like replacing crappy quest rewards with decent legendaries again making them purple or blue taking some more powerful legendaries and increasing their drop rate on top of all the previously discussed ideas and even moving some of the best guns into a new rarity.

I appreciate the work modder put into the overhaul mods but I'm thinking something that's actually compatible with the base game and other people playing it so for the most part it would just be affecting you and you could just kind of turn it off at any time to find out for you breaking anything which would kind of keep it timeless. Those overhaul mods aren't really my thing because I want my saves and progress to exist essentially forever.

Yeah sure this is probably the pointless, just curious what people think about this idea. This could even be a patch gearbox just does one day out of nowhere for Borderlands 5 or something who knows.

Howdy, is there a mod that guarantees dedicated loot drops from bosses?

I want to farm shields and relics but I want it guaranteed for time and my sanity.

Hello everyone so I am normally a moze player but I've been having a lot of fun on my Amara but I've noticed I just can't kill bosses for the life of me on mayhem 11 I feel like my gear is pretty good except for the shlooter I'm still working on getting the pearl of ineffable knowledge but otherwise I feel like I can't kill anything? Any tips would be helpful and thank you in advance

I want to get at least one of every character to max level just to say iโ€™ve done it, how long should i expect it to take if i keep a similar pace to my Amara? Sheโ€™s level 70 currently with just under 2 days of playtime. If any of you have done it, iโ€™m also curious how long it roughly took for you (if you remember).

I failed my last run due to boredom and overconfidence (I got lazy).

I thought after going this far I wouldn't be able to start again but I'm feeling excited to give it another go.

Imposing some new rules to spice things up.

This is my current list of self imposed rules.

  1. Pure scavenger. No buying from vending machines except Eridium machines and slot machines (selling is allowed).

  2. Never more than one manufacturer equipped at a time (guns only).

  3. One skill tree at a time, do not start a new tree until every skill in the current tree is unlocked (painted in).

  4. Only one action skill (grenade slot must stay a grenade).

  5. Discover new areas on foot unless a mission requires a vehicle. After an area is discovered on foot, vehicles are allowed in that discovered area.

Anything else you think I should add? I'm trying to get creative.

Thanks family!
