Better loot drops? Story, Circle of Slaughter or Proving Grounds

This weekend I finally completed my first play through the story on TVHM Mayhem 3. I went back in and did a few bosses. I was pretty disappointed in the loot drops, honestly.

I have not yet tried the other arena-type game modes. Do those drop better loot? Higher drop rates? Is it worth trying? I’ve got three pre-TVHM characters that I’d like to supply weapons to via farming with my TVHM/M3 character and am looking for the most productive way to do that. Thanks.

Gigamind or Graveward are probably the best legendary farms right now.
The arenas and trials are pointless for farming at the moment.

I’m not home right now to check but I’ve heard that playing offline still allows the loot tink farming method and higher legendary drop rates from bosses, so you could try that as well.

Matchmaking into the bandit circle of slaughter works pretty well for me. 10+ legendaries per run even on Mayhem 2.

Loot drops are generally disappointing since the nerfs. I farmed for four or five hours today and it was not rewarding. Might go back to Borderlands 2.

The bandit Circle of Slaughter has the best drop rate out of all of the repeatable endgame content, I got like 11 or 12 legendaries from a single run of it on Mayhem 3, I get about 2-3 legendary drops from the other 2 Circles, and either 0 or 1 on the proving grounds usually. As for bosses, I think Tyreen is the best to farm for drops now that they made Graveward much more difficult to kill, I can kill Tyreen in less than half the time it takes me to kill Graveward, and they both have similar drop rates.

Not true. Slaughtershaft is one of the best places to farm for legendaries. I ran it several times over the weekend and each time I got 10+ legendaries each time on solo. And no I did not play offline nor did the lame ass invincibility trick.

Slaughtershaft is also the most difficult out of all of them.

why ? So you can farm bunker for 18 hours ?

Slaughtershaft will give me 10+ legendaries per run. Out of which one or two might be good.

Slaughtershaft - Better and more amusing than offline farming.With a group faster than anything else.30-40 legs dropped on the ground with a group , maybe more.

Thats per run.

PS.Before you ask can you farm everything that you need there?Yes from grenades to class mods.Everything but mob/boss specific loot.

Ummmm… Yes. I can confirm Slaughter Shaft is by far the best legendary farming method I have come across. Holy cow…

Now…what am I gonna do with all these Flakkers?!
