I have gotten a pearl from a skag pile before. I’m on deployment for the military but when I get back home I will upload the video. Thanks GOD I was streaming.
I KNEW uncommon was more common than common later on! That donation mission in TPS drove me nuts trying to find the worst guns in the game, and they simply didn't drop!
“I’ve said Maliwan so much it doesn’t sound like a word anymore” Technically joltz, it never was. Love the vids and looking forward to you guiding me through BL4.
I've been enjoying these late night uploads even if they're different from the series. Thanks for the content Joltz! Also hopefully the series and stuff return even if they don't gain the most views towards the ending of the series, I still watch all of them regardless
Hey I just wanted to pop into the comments and say how much of an inspiration you are to people, your persistence with borderlands has been so motivational in my own quest for loot and for rare drops, there were many times I would’ve quit farms if I didn’t have your videos to help me pass the time and not feel so alone in my bad drop rates lmaooo, Thank you for your service to the community joltz, you’ve made one hell of a difference in all of our gaming experiences and our lives brotha
whenever I find a gun that has full matching manufacturer parts I like to put them in my can't cause I just think it's really neat to see what a fully put together gun looks like
Joltz I never thanked you for getting me through my boring classes in high school, I’ve been nonstop watching you, lilgasmask and vinolic puma to get me through my boring high school days, thank you in advance may a gub never haunt you again ❤
My first ever Pearl was acually from a skag pile in Three Horns Divide while farming Boll, it was a Sawbar at like level 60-something, I didn't even know what that was haha, it's still on the bank of that character :)
My friend got an infinity from a skag pile during one of our playthroughs together, I was so shocked by it at the time. I still to this day think about it sometimes whenever we hang out
I remember reading on I think the BL2 wiki, That relic doesn’t increase rarer drop chances it just changes the chance of a white or green rarity to be higher
It's complicated. It actually lowers the odds of common appearing, and spreads that 5% chance across the rest. Unequally at that. Rares get the highest boost at almost 3%, while legendaries only get an additional 0.01% boost. It also only effects world drops and not dedicated drops.
I still remember in my second playthrough ever I got an emperor from a skag pile in Arid Nexus Badlands, I sent a picture of it to a friend and realised I got incredible lucky. I currently have around 1k hours across all platforms so needless to say that moment hooked me
The chances of getting a legendary from a skag pile is quite rare, I must say. I remember in BL1 being at Sunken Sea at Playthrough 2, I smashed a stray skag pile while walking around gathering loot, only to receive a godrolled Pestilent Defiler from it. Truly one of the greatest memories I got from BL1 during my Xbox 360 years
Great video Joltz! I once got a 90% sham from a trashpile by the fast travel in Flamerock. Also found a world drop bee from an urn during the gold golem fight. And I agree skins should probably just be left out. Unless you get one of the ultra rare ones like the community day skins it wouldn't even be competing with the gear drops anyway and probably uses significantly different rarity weights if it even bothers to weigh them by rarity at all.
The weirdest drop I’ve had was on OP8 going towards Bewm Boom whilst using a Practicable Butcher and a bullymong pile broke and dropped another Practicable Butcher. I legit thought I dropped my gun somehow when I saw it but nope, totally new one lmao
Somewhat related but I remember i was playing Claptraps Robot Revolution in BL1 grinding XP and i got 4 world drop legendaries in a row. Knoxx Trap gave me 2 equalizers one being a masher, a Skag Pile I looted on the way to Ned-Trap world dropped a Draco and a pretty good one at that, and Ned Dropped me a Shock Thanatos with 11.7 Fire Rate, which considering i was playing as Mordecai was a GOD SEND for Crawmerax with my 95% Gunslinger COM. Funny part was i wasnt using the Scavenger COM with the +2 Rare Drops, I was using Assassin for the bonus corrosion damage for Knoxx Trap and MINAC
my first ever legendary was from a skag pile! I remember, it was a baby maker in the arix nexus! Come to think of it, that's also the map where I got my first pearl, from a red chest...
I found a pearlescent Storm in a skag pile back in January 2015, WITH PROOF! I was streaming at the time and was able to record it and upload it! It's on my channel right now as "Borderlands 2 // Pearl world drop from a trash pile". Unfortunately it was on my old Macbook and I was playing music so the video quality is bad & no sound but you can clearly see the pearl popping out from the pile.
5:22 you just experienced a form of Jamais vu, it's similar to deja vu but it means "never seen", when a word doesn't seem like a word even though you're familiar with it
i got a legendary Striker from a pile 3 days ago , in the pre sequel on route to farm red and belly. i did a ground stomp on the first 3 bandits you encounter and it drop from a pile nearby
I had a butcher drop from a bullymong pile running to the train chest farming the Snowman, I was in awe. If I knew how to post the video of it I definitely would, never new that a gen 2 pearl could drop from a pile.
in BL1 my brother and i got TWO legendarys from loot piles in one play through! we’ve been playing BL1 since like it came out on 360 and now on series X! never got one until this play through
ended up getting a double pen herald from the skag piles where u farm fast ball 2 years back didn't even know that could happen straight away i went to look online for more info about skag piles 0.o
Borderlands 4 should make it possible if you want to do a gunless run challenge, that your able to swing left and right trigger for each of your fists. I'm trying out gunless Zane like you did and I just thought it would be cool if that were a thing instead of constantly mashing the left joystick for melee.
i got a Veruc randomly from the ice pile thingy in three horns divide after killing captain flint on my first playthrough.. that's probably my luckiest moment in borderlands.
It's due in no small part to the game's loot scaling. It varies somewhat pool to pool but a typical random world drop gun when deciding rarity weighs white 100, green 10, blue 1, purple 0.25, etech 0.25, legendary 0.03. In tvhm, white is reduced to 45. In uvhm it is again dropped to 18. At lvl 61 it decreases to 7.5 and finally at lvl 73 it drops to 3.75. The VH relic will reduce it even further but obv this has more of an impact when the weight is higher and whites are a more significant part of the total.
Now farm a Cobra using only jakob's weapons and the rough rider shield lmao. You may bring friends along for the ride to make it plausible, and must farm successfully one for each player
I got a legendary smg on my first playthrough one time through a locker waaaaaay back then when I played borderlands 2 for my first time and thought it was normal lol. This was on my ps vita btw, the vita introduced me to borderlands 2
When I first played BL2, I remember getting a bearcat in a skag pile on tvhm. That was on my Xbox 360 hard drive, so my first axton is gone forever. RIP
Maybe one day if you want to redo one of these farms you could try again without the Vault Hunter relic to give some idea of how much of a difference it actually makes. Especially on of these ones with a counter for each rarity see how the distribution changes with and without the relic.
What weird thing should we farm next for a world drop legendary?
Bullymong piles if you haven't done it yet
@@br0br0123 That needs to be done
As annoying as it may be, I would just love to see a drop from a Handsome Jack Cardboard Cutout. For both nostalgia sake and to see the odds.
@@Taps_69 That one is gonna suck. They're so far away from spawn.
Did you do the trash piles(not to be confused with trash bins) or a standard enemy like midget psychos?(no chubby or tubby variants)
I have gotten a pearl from a skag pile before. I’m on deployment for the military but when I get back home I will upload the video. Thanks GOD I was streaming.
I remember once I got a perfect unforgiven level 80 from a skag pile under the Saturn spawn, had matching sight, grip and barrel
@@TillWownsendno such thing as a perfect unforgiven 😂 that thing had the biggest falloff from bl1
@ well there’s no denying it’s terrible but at least it’s as good as it could’ve been 🤣
Dropping a comment so I can keep up to date on this.
Got a perfect OP2 Sawbar from the Dahl Abandon farm my first attempt lmao
I KNEW uncommon was more common than common later on!
That donation mission in TPS drove me nuts trying to find the worst guns in the game, and they simply didn't drop!
Well also the dlc relic can give you a lot of green chances and blue
He’s also in new game++ lvl80 so his drops are ofc better
An interesting BL2 series would be to only use homing weapons, like the hive, dart weapons, etc.
Would basically be a Deliverance glitch only run
@@MrMonkey2475 and how would you do that without a Badaboom? Please tell me, as you clearly do.
Wanderlust...😊
Borderlands 2 but I can't aim (could be done blindfolded)
I might consider that
“I’ve said Maliwan so much it doesn’t sound like a word anymore”
Technically joltz, it never was. Love the vids and looking forward to you guiding me through BL4.
That's true
I've been enjoying these late night uploads even if they're different from the series.
Thanks for the content Joltz!
Also hopefully the series and stuff return even if they don't gain the most views towards the ending of the series, I still watch all of them regardless
0:36 missed opportunity to say "a little tiny tina bit"
I love the fact joltz still makes borderlands 2 content. Absolute goat

Sorry Joltz but i hope it's a Gub drop 😂
You monster
ehh Green Bandit Pistol...close enough?
2:23 I am eating instant ramen as you say this
I remember picking up a Shreddifier from a Skag Pile right outside of Sanctuary on a new save file and I couldn't believe it

It’d be funny if this was considered as a safe farm for life 1 runs
I still have the recording of getting an Unforgiven from a stalker pile in Wildlife Preservation.
I'm not used to a video this late but I'll take it
Super duper early
When is a good time for you?
@@supers0nic77 for what?
@@br0br0123 for a video to be released
@ oh it doesn’t matter I’m just used to it being a lot earlier
I love these rare find videos!

It’s sad to see the greatest discovered so late yet again
My friend got an infinity from a skag pile during one of our playthroughs together, I was so shocked by it at the time. I still to this day think about it sometimes whenever we hang out
This video is the borderlands equivalent of a shiny pokemon hunt
Got to say when Joltz said he was taking a break, this wasn’t the content I was planning to see. Love to see it lol
I am enjoying these videos a lot compared to challenge runs and playthrough recently, keep up the content homie as always much love joltz

I will always remember my friend finding a Hammer Buster in one of those while going through the Tiny Tina DLC
Just sat down with some coffee to watch a banger early morning
Outro was 10/10 joltz don't worry

Woo! Enjoy

I got a Storm from a skag pile once. It was even a pretty good roll. lt made my day.
I accidentally got a practicable butcher from a skag pile while farming tubbys and Saturn one of the rarest things that’s happened to me
I really hope the next borderlands game pushes joltz over 1 mil subs
I got an Avenger while farming an Explosive Fast ball. Took 30 runs for the fastball

I got a legendary from a vase in tt dlc while waiting for cl4ptr0p
I managed to get a pearl from one of those life size Handsome Jack posters doing the digistruct peak thing, rarest drop I've ever had
Ive gotten a fastball from a skag pile i shot on accident. I was so confused didnt know you could get legendaries from piles

i thought the vault hunter relic only increased Blue (rare) type gear drops?
I've gotten legendary in BL2 on first run from a toilet just straight on level like 10. Never gotten a legendary random drops further in game.
At the end of this of finding loot in strange ways, you should do a challenge run with the loot you collected
Luckiest drop I ever got was a trickshot maggie from Moxxis Bar Slots in Torgue DLC
Can you do this for the pre sequel for lockers or any other lootable source in the pre sequel that is commonly found around all maps in that game?
Get this man Borderlands 4 before he loses his mind. Enjoyed the video :)
5:22 you just experienced a form of Jamais vu, it's similar to deja vu but it means "never seen", when a word doesn't seem like a word even though you're familiar with it
4:25 would it be better for one of the parts to be a rocket speed part or does the vladof grip do rocket speed
After playing 1000s of hours since 2012, I've only ever gotten 1 on Tiny Tina's in the mine. Hit a pile and popped out a bunny.
Me and my late stepdad were playing in the wildlife preserve and we got a op 8 butcher out of a stalker pile 😂 he loved the game and your channel ❤
honestly, skins should be their own counter. rarity doesn't matter for skins.
New video series idea, "Can you beat the game only using skag piles". No loot other than what you find in skag piles allowed.
Great video dude!
loving these fun 1 off videos ngl
I got my first pearl (Avenger) from a skag pile next to the Gate where you first meet Mr. Torgue in Tiny Tina's DLC!
i got a legendary Striker from a pile 3 days ago , in the pre sequel on route to farm red and belly. i did a ground stomp on the first 3 bandits you encounter and it drop from a pile nearby
Can Handsome Jack drop a (non-mask) legendary? I think that would be rad.
Be careful Joltz the Gub is stalking you just waiting.
never forgetting the time I got a Conference Call (my favourite borderlands weapon of all time) from a skag pile in the nature preserve
That's a super nice find
woot excited for the new upload
Joltz you should add a "Perfect-roll" counter to the list in the top left corner.
When I was showing my Fiance BL2 we got an Infinity out of a skag pile. At level 17. I couldn't believe it.
My first pearl drop was a Butcher from a skag pile on caustic caverns. To this days it hasn’t happened again lol
I once also got an Invader in TVHM from a Stalker pile and I wasn't even farming them lol, shocked me so hard.
I once got a community day event head from a slag pile, and spend maybe 30 hours after farming for another with no luck ever again.
0:44 Does anyone know is this song on Joltz's discord server?
I had a butcher drop from a bullymong pile running to the train chest farming the Snowman, I was in awe. If I knew how to post the video of it I definitely would, never new that a gen 2 pearl could drop from a pile.
Butcher is gen 1, carnage is the gen 2 shotgun. All 8 gen 1s can drop from almost anywhere a legendary can, the 4 gen 2s are Tubby only without mods.
in BL1 my brother and i got TWO legendarys from loot piles in one play through! we’ve been playing BL1 since like it came out on 360 and now on series X! never got one until this play through

One of my first Pearls in Borderlands 2 was from a Stalker Pile. It was either a Storm or a SAWBAR.
Recently got a bearcat from a spore while farming haderax. Don't know the chances but I was flabbergasted in the moment
After watching this video, I remembered how I got a perfect DPUH from a skag pile, I was extremely surprised.
i got a Veruc randomly from the ice pile thingy in three horns divide after killing captain flint on my first playthrough.. that's probably my luckiest moment in borderlands.
100 hero’s pass farms ❌
1750 skag pile farms ✅
World drop from the bandits that drop from that one vaughn mission
The safes you have to melee, or the "parcels" (the cardboard boxes, like the one that contains Gwen's Head)
challenge run idea, only items from drop piles
Is there a full video of this?
Kinda wild that the common was less common than the non-common

my rarest find is a bee shield from the rakk piles going to the wildlife pres.
I got a bee to drop for me in the preserve from the stalker sacks on one of my first playthroughs
If there was a way to save the game so you could farm Jack that'd be pretty cool!
