Sheriff's badge farm

Borderlands 2 Gameplay Discussion (Spoilers!)
#1

To farm Sheriff’s badge can I save and quit or do I need to dashboard ?

#2

Save-quit, since it’s a rare drop and not a mission reward. Good luck!

I don’t have any proof, but I am under the impression its more likely to drop during the mission. I have farmed it in both manners. Dboarding and save/quite farming technique. Dboard method proved more effective for me. I farmed the level 50 cap. then 72 and ultimately OP8. Truth be told, there isn’t much difference from max stat level 50 to max stat OP8 sheriffs badge. I good level 50 would do just fine to be quite honest. :blush:

Thanks for your quick response.
S&Q it is.

I’ve only ever seen one, which I had drop the very first farming run. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one during the actual mission. I’ll check if there’s an entry in the Drop Rates Survey data when I get home.

I had it drop one time on the mission kill. It was an RNG blessing.

I have also had it drop during the mission and maybe more than once iirc, but i would think @Kurtdawg13 is on the money with the “how to” portion of this post, as he is a champion farmer for sure :trophy: :man_farmer:

Mission kill drops are the best.

Definitely one of the best ways to get drops without a doubt :exploding_head: My last was Mobley & Gettle just the other day and they both dropped their respective drops :sunglasses:

Don’t remember when this happened to me last but it was pretty cool in my books :+1:

Those moments are when I quickly hit my Xbox button to pull up my DVR menu. Both dropping their respective legendary items on the same run. That’s a vid for sure. :slight_smile:

Well thank you kind sir. :blush:

See, I’ve NEVER had these dudes drop their legendaries during the actual mission. Not once! Same with Doc Mercy, Boll, and quite a few others. I think only the Assassins and possibly the TMNRs have coughed up their assigned drop on the actual mission for me.

So if it is a mission reward then Dashboard and it is a drop item then save and quit.

In a word “YES”. Mission rewards, in this instance it will be the “Deputy’s Badge” as the reward, can be dashboard farmed like all mission rewards, but you can do that upon turning in the mission at the Bounty Board in Lynchwood. During this mission you also stand a chance of getting the Sheriff to drop her unique drops that being both the “Law” and the “Sheriff’s Badge” that you are chasing, and these can be farmed as normal repeatedly after you have handed in the mission “Showdown” ,so you don’t have to dashboard if you don’t want to to get the “Sheriff’s Badge” just farm as normal but what @Kurtdawg13 is alluding to is that you might stand a better chance of getting it to drop “during” the mission as opposed to after, that’s all.

I hope i didn’t just tell you a heap of stuff you already know, and apologies if i have but i hope this helps you in what you seek to know and good luck in finding a good one :+1:

Thanks for the help but I’m still dense I guess.
If I kill the Sheriff and she doesn’t drop the Sheriff’s badge on the first run , should I not turn in the mission and S&Q ??

BNK-3R, Saturn, Terra, Mc Nally, Mad Dog, Flynt, Boom & Bewm, Wilhelm and many more. Now that you think about it… You’ve never had a legendary drop ever. :grin:

These, I’ve had drop on the relevant story mission. Once each.

Turn in the mission, then save and quit. Then keep loading up the game and kill her as many times as you want. She will drop it eventually.
