Question about Boll's drop chance during "In Memorium"

Borderlands 2 Loot and Weapons
#1

So, I recently got the urge to play Borderlands 2 again, but none of my characters got transferred to the Xbox One, so I had to start over. Between that, playing with friends, and learning that Maya had been buffed, I’ve ended up doing “In Memorium” three times. Every time I’ve killed Boll during the mission, he’s dropped the Fastball. Given this, and the fact that I absolutely love the Fastball, I decided to farm for a Fire version. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any Fastballs. Now, this isn’t a complaint about not getting one; as I like to say, “RNJesus is real, and he hates you”. However, I’m wondering if Boll has a Warrior-style loot table: very high (if not guaranteed) chance to drop his Legendary during the mission, standard chance once the mission is turned in. I figure I’m probably just having a rather odd run of good luck, but wanted to ask, as if he’s got a higher chance to drop the Fastball during the mission, it would make more sense to get another character to that point, then dashboard farm for the Fire version.

So, does Boll have a better chance to drop the Fastball during the mission?

No. Same chance during the mission as at any time afterwards. It’s the standard 1 in 10 chance for an item from a boss’ designated loot pool. In fact, I think I’ve only ever had a Fastball during the mission once in mumble characters and play-throughs.

Now that we can get in depth with modding, isn’t it possible to find out exactly what chance we have to get a drop during the quest and when the quest is not in our log? I thought this was something we could search for with the filter tool. I just don’t know how to search for it.

Huh. I figured it was a wierd run of good luck, it I didn’t think it was that good.

As for modding, I’m on the Xbox One, so I can’t check. I’m definitely interested in the answer, though, if someone decides to take the time to find out.

It’s the same.
