A question about the relic. Are there any possible combinations of ammo type boosts that cannot drop? For example - for my build the most convenient would either be only shotgun ammo (which to my knowledge rewards a higher bonus when you have a stockpile boosting only one ammo type) or shotgun and grenade count, neither of which have I seen drop. I know a blood boosting only one ammo type can at least be obtained through gibbed, but I have never seen a blood boosting grenade count nor managed to create one with gibbed.
So. Is a grenade count blood even a thing? And is it possible to obtain those variants without the use of third-party programs?
You can only get extra grenades from a grenade stockpile relic, not a Blood. As for only having one extra ammo effect, I’ve never seen one without two, so I don’t know if they actually drop or not. The 4 loot midgets found during Doctor’s Orders are a good place to get relics, so I’d farm them, but I’ve never seen them drop one with just one effect before that I can remember.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Bloods that only offer a single kind of backpack increase. (I chuck them asap though). I use both Bloods and straightforward stockpile relics. I usually prefer my stockpiles as I like the extra grenades, and iirc they usually offer you more extra ammo. Sometimes health stacking can be useful though.
The loot midgets in the Preserve will yield you a lot of Bloods. For ‘ordinary’ relics, big bosses like the Warrior or Pete are good, but I’ve found a lot from The Forest, particularly killing Pixies (and Treants).
