Ive found using the grease trap with zaynes clone is fantastic, you can sit on grease mode and the clone will constantly do the splash nova with the regular fire mode. Can make very quick work of enemies, although horrible against shields
Playing on Mayhem 3 farming these mini bosses & I honestly wanted the OPq system but 2nd I really wanted is the Iceburger! Now that I have all the guns from cartel, I can't wrap my head around when ppl think the iceburger is weak or not worth using. It's always performed crazy good with my maxed Zane build. Give it a try with some shotgun damage class mod & relic. One of my personal favs
I got all the weapons I wanted to farm !! with all the right mods for each build of the characters !! this event was very good not to mention the wonderful soundtrack !! looking forward to day 4 !!!
I've only been playing borderlands for about a month and a half as I needed a well deserved break from destiny but is it just me or is no pew pew , opq, kaiason , yellow cake , and sandhawk pretty much the only real viable options on mayham10. I play a moze minesweeper splash damage type of build.
@@kylebar1398 alright thanks. It was my favorite weapon when playing the story mode. I got one dropped on mayham10 and tried it but just didn't seem like it was doing much. Maybe I just need a better one.
I don't care about the yellowcake or the fishslap, but they really should add O.P.Q. System to the game. I can't think of any good or decent Atlas legendary. carrier, rebel yell... pff...
What a shame haven't played this in like 3 weeks now. I'm instead playing the nintendo switch releases, it's really cool being able to play the borderlands games wherever I'm at, playing Roland for the first time on the first game.
I have 4 OPQ's right now, 2 with the 150% Rad while under 50% HP and one with the 300% while enemies are over 90%HP I've been hoping to find Zane's Cryo and Flak's Rad ones but I'm not sure if I'll have enough time.
Super helpful video, thanks K6! I know the gun videos get more views but I like hearing about the shields, coms, etc too. Hope to see more content like this when they spread the drops out.
Well I finally got my OPQ! And also quickly found out on accident that you can shoot TWO opq systems if you fire when mozes skill kicks in and doesn't use ammo for that 4th shot. Woot wooooot
If you are farming Scrapteaps then there really in no need to go to the Villa. I just stay at Scraptraps. That's where I got my Yellowcake and OPQs from
I like to use the anvil on eden 6 to get cartel things to unlock the villa, due to there's just so many higher enemies there and the loot can be nice while getting cartel things. I can run that whole place, not counting the boss at end, and get 25-35 legendaries or more depending on luck(usually done on m10) while getting things to unlock cartel.
Good stuff K6. Been doing this method for a while to farm and honestly, cuts down so much time. Have a tough time getting URAD Yellowcake but I have gotten 6 or more of the 300% opq's and tons of other junk.
I had horrible luck with this event trying to get the M10 variants with the annointments I wanted. In the end, after nearly 4 straight weeks of continuous farming, I had only got 2 out of 5 annointments and called it quits right there. But since this event is ending in a couple days, I will hit up Villa Ultraviolet one more time just to look around and appreciate the view.
Fighting the Scraptraps in the compacter is the fastest way I find to collect decoder rings. Not only that, the scraptraps help by fighting the cartel as well.
I've been living on the Scraptrap farm for weeks now. I've went up over 250 guardian ranks farming that spot. I'm gonna mis the Cartel event....best event so far.
Me and my brother just brought the game and killed Joey around level 11 we got the opq, yellow cake, wattson and firewall first run and pretty much one shot all the bosses from kill gigamind to the rampager
If you’re a Bloodletter Moze, all while below 50% health do bonus 150% elemental damage a anointment will always be active. My OP.Q with +160% radiation basically shoots constant shock and radiation explosions 💥
Recently played the pre-sequel to see if it really was as terrible as its reputation and I found a legendary shield (in a vending machine) called "The Cradle" and it releases a grenade when your shield breaks but explodes usually before you can get away so the grenade ends up killing you most of the time. Pretty similar to the wattson, probably 5 times as useless though.
Scraptrap nest is easily one of the fastest places I've found to farm rings. Just drop in with a corrosive Lob and you'll have all your rings in literally a minute.
If you have dlc, i usually farm the ring on the scraptrap boss, they spawn alot of the cartel enemies and the cartels also fight the scraptrap so its not so hard farming them
So, I watched you use the yellow cake as a direct hitter... isn't lobbing it so the first divide and then the second divide all 4 splash on enemy higher DPS? M10 Captain Traunt 1 hit on Moze.
Best spot that early on is probably the area behind Ellie's Garage. Just run that path (watch for Loot Tinks too). Make sure you enable the event on the main menu and TALK TO MAURICE first
I've gotten an OPQ with 191 on the weapon card with the 150 rad, but I'm still looking for the same one with Phasecast. I've gotten all of the new weapons with Phasecast, but not all of them with perfect parts. Only about 60 hours left to get it and I'm grinding nonstop to try n get em!!
Yea that’s how I farm everything with split screen co-op so I get double drops and chances just make sure ur alt character is at max level and set mode to cooperation
It seems that you cannot spawn both minibosses down at Joeys place anymore for this 1 weapon. I could not get franco Firewall and Jose together (OPQ) or Tyrone and Fishslap (Yellowcake). It was possible at the beginning, now its not happening. Hotfix maybe? PS4 btw.
Actually, the fastest and easiest location for gathering 30 decoder rings (especially if you are on first-playthrough for that character) is Pandora, The Droughts. Because all bandits (and Cartel bandits that beam in) are all 2nd or 3rd level. Sure you get no loots, but your purpose is to gather the decoder rings quick. You wanna not waste time, and get to Joey Ultraviolet quick? Go to any bandit camp in the Droughts and walk through everyone and not take any damage. Reinvent bloodsplosion, gather up rings, and get back to Maurice who has the portal to the REAL loots.
i've been farming this on xbox one for a couple weeks now. great live event content. however, I have yet to get a OPQ system. any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've had a bunch of noPewPews and YellowCakes
For Zane if I have my drone out and my shield active does on action skill end anoitments work for him like on his guns if I had a ase 100% or would they only work once my skills are done
I farm anthinas. Run at kaoson and tyruss is the only boss that spawns so no worries about tenderizer healing or rooster burning novas. I go through the entire map kill truant use the travel station after you kill him to go ultra violet
For some reason the OPQ System while I’m playing the Jakob dlc my game begins to glitch. like the audio and my OPQ fires funny or weird. The OPQ is supposed to feel like that? The glitch part happens whit the ride too. How do I get the monkey face? Please..
No trouble getting loads of Wattsons and Needle Guns. OPQ System, Yellowcake and NoPewPew very scarce and never scaled to Mayhem. Probably have better luck getting a 94 Sham
Its like every installment of the franchise gearbox forgets what they made they enemy NPCs look like and say fuck it lets give them watermelon heads this time because their heads didn't already explode like Gallagher took a hammer to one.
Shame i can't enter Ultraviolet villa anymore :/ , my game keeps freezing after 5/10 minutes into that place AND ONLY in that place . Tried updating drivers / tried reinstalling , tried repairing the game files , i even reinstalled windows , still no fix
@@Ki11ersix Thank you for the reply, Echo was already off and I still don't own harmageddon. That being said you gave me the idea to disable another guardian rank item that makes enemies explode on critical hit, and it seems to have fixed It. I also messed around with settings and got better fps too in the process. Thanks for the help k6 😁
Does anyone else (PC) experience no legendary drops from cartel named enemies after 10ish save/quits? Only fix i found is to close bl3 and steam completely for legendaries to drop again

So needler is hot garbage? Welp, time to empty my storage deck. I was looking for higher opqs and yellowcakes anyway.
Is it to late? Lol
No @@wittlturtl5066
"Just leave the needle gun" is so funny in 2021 when it's now arguably the best weapon in cartels.
It's surprising that Ensing Ben still has his job working that gate.
I did it boss... I did my job boss...
I want a side mission where we help him get a new job after the cartels fire him 👍👍
Ensing Ben must be a liberal they never get fire no matter how stupid and shitty they are at there job 😂
Why do you wear a anime profile even tho your a boi you are in the wrong. karate shop ahhh yaaaa😂😂😂😭😂😭😭😭😭😭😭
I got a nopewpew as my first legendary (lvl9) and it carried me pretty far, it's great. Love your vids K6.
Ive found using the grease trap with zaynes clone is fantastic, you can sit on grease mode and the clone will constantly do the splash nova with the regular fire mode. Can make very quick work of enemies, although horrible against shields
Was listening to Greaze Mode by Skepta while doing this 🤣🔥
Thank you so much, I came back to playing bl3 yesterday and I missed most of the event. This helped a lot!
Hopefully we will get more powerful weapons soon for Mayhem 10.
Playing on Mayhem 3 farming these mini bosses & I honestly wanted the OPq system but 2nd I really wanted is the Iceburger!
Now that I have all the guns from cartel, I can't wrap my head around when ppl think the iceburger is weak or not worth using. It's always performed crazy good with my maxed Zane build. Give it a try with some shotgun damage class mod & relic. One of my personal favs
Thanks for the reminder k6 farming is gonna go way better now
Mayhem 10 is so hard to actually play, thanks for the guide K6!
I happened to enjoy the exceedingly rare "rotating spasmatic fish slap" grenade at 6:15 that you showed us.
Loving your work! Subscribed
I got all the weapons I wanted to farm !! with all the right mods for each build of the characters !! this event was very good not to mention the wonderful soundtrack !! looking forward to day 4 !!!
Gearbox: "Imma raise the level cap and add more Mayhem levels."
Everyone who's been farming anything: "Well, that was a waste of time..."
@@PlebNC 😛😛🤣🤣
I've only been playing borderlands for about a month and a half as I needed a well deserved break from destiny but is it just me or is no pew pew , opq, kaiason , yellow cake , and sandhawk pretty much the only real viable options on mayham10. I play a moze minesweeper splash damage type of build.
Yeah. This Thursday is going to be a patch that fixes that though so more weapons should be viable
Lol same bro! I got a radiation moze splash build. And man I be wrecking shit on mayhem 10
Hellshock is also a viable weapon for Moze.
@@kylebar1398 alright thanks. It was my favorite weapon when playing the story mode. I got one dropped on mayham10 and tried it but just didn't seem like it was doing much. Maybe I just need a better one.
pretty sure a non x2 full auto kaoson is the best moze weap outside of a yellowcake which is OP on everyone
Both the Iceburger and NeedleGun are excellent weaps K6. Gonna be farming both from this event.
What a wonderful thing to refresh to
Been farming for 4 days and finally got my god roll OPQ System
Which one is that my friend?
Super helpful. I haven’t gotten the chance to get them but now I might actually be able to. Thanks k6!
I don't care about the yellowcake or the fishslap, but they really should add O.P.Q. System to the game. I can't think of any good or decent Atlas legendary. carrier, rebel yell... pff...
The one weapon I say is a great atlas weapon is OP q-system little brother, Q-system. Shreds through anything. It's just a purple.
What a shame haven't played this in like 3 weeks now. I'm instead playing the nintendo switch releases, it's really cool being able to play the borderlands games wherever I'm at, playing Roland for the first time on the first game.

For some reason I feel smarter hearing you explain things lol
The Scraptraps are my choice for decoder rings
If you are farming Scrapteaps then there really in no need to go to the Villa. I just stay at Scraptraps. That's where I got my Yellowcake and OPQs from
Another thing gearbox said that the “limited time anoints” are staying in the game after the event
Kaizaro123 meaning they will still be in the game and will have a chance to be on weapons you are farming for. Along with other anoints
Love the time stamps. Thank you much
Compactor by the Calptrap nest is my favorite for Cartel rings/gear
I usually go to Athenas to farm rings, plus when there is a golden beacon. Tyrone will always spawn.
Just farmed a couple for my nephew just in case it ends, we both play two players so we can get the weapons we needed before it’s over.
K6 this is madness. We must be permitted,to always use the Fish Slap for cover!!!
I like to use the anvil on eden 6 to get cartel things to unlock the villa, due to there's just so many higher enemies there and the loot can be nice while getting cartel things. I can run that whole place, not counting the boss at end, and get 25-35 legendaries or more depending on luck(usually done on m10) while getting things to unlock cartel.
SAME!😁
The Anvil is awesome😏
Good stuff K6. Been doing this method for a while to farm and honestly, cuts down so much time. Have a tough time getting URAD Yellowcake but I have gotten 6 or more of the 300% opq's and tons of other junk.
I have the 300% increased weapon damage modifier on a non-elemental Hyperfocus XZ41- is it worth it?
might be after this Thursday since they're rebalancing gear
great guide k6 thanks
I had horrible luck with this event trying to get the M10 variants with the annointments I wanted. In the end, after nearly 4 straight weeks of continuous farming, I had only got 2 out of 5 annointments and called it quits right there. But since this event is ending in a couple days, I will hit up Villa Ultraviolet one more time just to look around and appreciate the view.
Big thank for this K6
Good video, good job on the research and giving your opinions on the drops from this limited time content.
I can’t even get the energy to turn the game on anymore, I wish gearbox would just permanently add event weapons.
Right, my tv broke and k started the cartel weeks late. Thankfully its been extended. They should add the weapons to the world pool after events end
@@TheMeremoth it's been extended? For how long?
@@nervous_ They just extended to whenever they will release the next patch that still unknown when it will release
@@nervous_ The new patch has been delayed due to what is going on in America right now. So I guess when that ends is when cartel ends too.
Man do I have some news for you
Going to the Maliwan Takedown area is the best place to get the decoder rings. You can get them all by staying in the Ratch area.
Fighting the Scraptraps in the compacter is the fastest way I find to collect decoder rings. Not only that, the scraptraps help by fighting the cartel as well.
Number 92!! I live the cartel event. I got all the goals done the week it came out
Using fade away flak with opq system with the 200% active skill is crazy fun
I've been living on the Scraptrap farm for weeks now. I've went up over 250 guardian ranks farming that spot. I'm gonna mis the Cartel event....best event so far.
Dam I wish I had the game. I'm missing out on so much good loot
Anyone know if farming the mini bosses has changed? No matter how many times I save/quit I end up with fish slap and roaster.
good thing I got all the weapons and cosmetics! Will miss that place was awesome
The Scraptrap Nest is also a good farm, although the bosses aren't guaranteed.
Me and my brother just brought the game and killed Joey around level 11 we got the opq, yellow cake, wattson and firewall first run and pretty much one shot all the bosses from kill gigamind to the rampager
If you’re a Bloodletter Moze, all while below 50% health do bonus 150% elemental damage a anointment will always be active. My OP.Q with +160% radiation basically shoots constant shock and radiation explosions 💥

Borderlands has a little bit of somethin for everybody!!!
Thnx sooo much
Scraptrap nest is easily one of the fastest places I've found to farm rings. Just drop in with a corrosive Lob and you'll have all your rings in literally a minute.
Here from twitter, lets go!
It’s funny coming back to this and hearing you say to skip the needle gun 😭
oooops
I farmed the claptrap nest and that seems to be the best place for all the Cartel gear. I just cant get a good Yellowcake drop
The Scrap Trap area in dlc 1 is the fastest way for sure. After one quick run you’ll have gotten all the decoder rings.
Appreciate it man this helped a lot
If you have dlc, i usually farm the ring on the scraptrap boss, they spawn alot of the cartel enemies and the cartels also fight the scraptrap so its not so hard farming them
I like farming athenas for rings just a tip
Yup yellowcake m10 good loot fast
Been tryna farm yellow cake on mayhem 10 that shit is insanely hard
Scraptrap prime minions in the compactor is unreal fast
So, I watched you use the yellow cake as a direct hitter... isn't lobbing it so the first divide and then the second divide all 4 splash on enemy higher DPS? M10 Captain Traunt 1 hit on Moze.
Where can I farm rings as soon as I get to sanctuary and am able to access the castle dlc
Best spot that early on is probably the area behind Ellie's Garage. Just run that path (watch for Loot Tinks too). Make sure you enable the event on the main menu and TALK TO MAURICE first
I've been using the nopewew w 300 & still use the lob w cryo
What is better element for Guardian Takedown , shock or radiation ?
I've gotten an OPQ with 191 on the weapon card with the 150 rad, but I'm still looking for the same one with Phasecast. I've gotten all of the new weapons with Phasecast, but not all of them with perfect parts. Only about 60 hours left to get it and I'm grinding nonstop to try n get em!!
Does anyone know if it's possible to farm the mini bosses with teammates? I'd assume all players need to die or fast travel
Yeah
Yea that’s how I farm everything with split screen co-op so I get double drops and chances just make sure ur alt character is at max level and set mode to cooperation
Is the level cap likely to be raised in this patch with the next Takedown or with the next dlc?
what level do u have to be for this?

It seems that you cannot spawn both minibosses down at Joeys place anymore for this 1 weapon. I could not get franco Firewall and Jose together (OPQ) or Tyrone and Fishslap (Yellowcake). It was possible at the beginning, now its not happening. Hotfix maybe? PS4 btw.
How long are they postponing the Guardian Takedown event?

will you be uploading a m10 zane build ?
love your vidoes
For Zane if I have my drone out and my shield active does on action skill end anoitments work for him like on his guns if I had a ase 100% or would they only work once my skills are done
idk i stopped playing this long ago didnt bother farming all gear again etc problably will hop back on when dlc 3 releases lol
Better grab some of this gear before then bro. Serious.
@@Ki11ersix And when the level cap is increased and your OPQ is 6 levels under top?
It will have carried me to that point.
I farm anthinas. Run at kaoson and tyruss is the only boss that spawns so no worries about tenderizer healing or rooster burning novas. I go through the entire map kill truant use the travel station after you kill him to go ultra violet
What if u already killed joey..how to get into yhe gate again..guy says wrong password
You have to accept the mission from Maurice again and go collect the codes to get back in. It sucks but that’s what you gotta do
The needle gun can actually melt enemies with amara I got lucky and scored a +200% while action skill is active plus phase grasp it clears rooms
Fun Fact: The FishSlap melee damage pays homage to Chris Farley' Haru from Beverly Hills Ninja
How is the best way to farm with bar or with out yhe bar?
I’m laughing at the title “...Last chance” lol.
Hi, does anyone has a yellowcake x2 with 50hp 150% radiation ?
I got killed multiple times by that wattson shield, and i never found out what caused those orbs to shoot out of me and kill me. Now i know lol
I got my last legendary yesterday (which was the NoPewPew)
Another ring method Is the scrap trap farm in the handsome jackpot dlc
For some reason the OPQ System while I’m playing the Jakob dlc my game begins to glitch. like the audio and my OPQ fires funny or weird. The OPQ is supposed to feel like that? The glitch part happens whit the ride too.
How do I get the monkey face? Please..
Pretty sure it’s a purple drop from Joey Ultraviolet
No trouble getting loads of Wattsons and Needle Guns. OPQ System, Yellowcake and NoPewPew very scarce and never scaled to Mayhem. Probably have better luck getting a 94 Sham
Gearbox really missed out on the chance to make the fish slaps grenade red text "Use the fish for cover"
Its like every installment of the franchise gearbox forgets what they made they enemy NPCs look like and say fuck it lets give them watermelon heads this time because their heads didn't already explode like Gallagher took a hammer to one.
What‘s the best OPQ?
JESUS I NEED AN OPQ I HAD NO IDEA. I just feel like I'm cheating with the yellow cake lol
O p q system is gonna be great for the new take down
It is the 4th and there isn't any update or changes to BL3 on xbox. . .
Shame i can't enter Ultraviolet villa anymore :/ , my game keeps freezing after 5/10 minutes into that place AND ONLY in that place . Tried updating drivers / tried reinstalling , tried repairing the game files , i even reinstalled windows , still no fix
try disabling the Guardian Rank item Harmageddon and also disabling EchoCast
@@Ki11ersix Thank you for the reply,
Echo was already off and I still don't own harmageddon.
That being said you gave me the idea to disable another guardian rank item that makes enemies explode on critical hit, and it seems to have fixed It. I also messed around with settings and got better fps too in the process. Thanks for the help k6 😁
awesome! Good thinking.
I’ve been farming for a sntnl opq for days and I just have like 5 150% rad and 5 200% action skill ones. I feel... robbed
Haha, I've been farming for days for a 200% action skill. Sorry you're getting my loot drops
Does anyone else (PC) experience no legendary drops from cartel named enemies after 10ish save/quits? Only fix i found is to close bl3 and steam completely for legendaries to drop again
Opq system is arguably the best weapon in the game. *laughs in kaosan*
