Torgue Machine Farming Log

So here we are. I’m looking for an OP3 DPUH, and in true Gearbox fashion, they’re trolling the f*** out of me. All the UHs I have had were not DPUHs. Every other prefix and whatnot, but the DP.

So this is my farming log. All runs (if you can call them that) are at OP3 and performed in the Badass Crater Bar (for speed purposes).

Run 1: Wild KerBlaster
Run 2: Desperate (how ironic!) Flakker
Run 3: Hard Unkempt Harold
Run 4: Homing Bonus Package
Run 5: Rhythmic KerBlaster
Run 6: dippity Nukem
Run 7: fidle dee Nukem
Run 8: Bad Touch Flakker
Run 9: Sticky Homing Bonus Package
Run 10: Explicit Unkempt Harold
Run 11: derp Nukem
Run 12: Sticky Lobbed Bonus Package
Run 13: Bad Touch Flakker
Run 14: Rolling Thunder
Run 15: Rubberized Bonus Package
Run 16: Stabbing KerBlaster
Run 17: Nasty KerBlaster
Run 18: Deep a Nukem
Run 19: Explicit Unkempt Harold
Run 20: Sinewy Flakker
Run 21: Rigorous KerBlaster
Run 22: Rigorous KerBlaster (yes, again)
Run 23: Thrusting Unkempt Harold
Run 24: Hard Unkempt Harold
Run 25: Rolling Thunder
Run 26: gaa dunk a Nukem
Run 27: Homing Bonus Package

Run 31: Rolling Thunder
Run 32: Plump KerBlaster
Run 33: Stabbing KerBlaster
Run 34: Sticky Homing Bonus Package
Run 35: Rolling Thunder
Run 36: Rolling Thunder
Run 37: derp Nukem
Run 38: Longbow Bonus Package
Run 39: dippity Nukem

Yeah, I’ve done about 90-100 runs, but these ones are the only ones that I’ve actually documented.

Last time I farmed the machines for a DPUH it took 4 straight hours of reloading Pete’s Bar. Finally got one that wasn’t even close to perfect parts, but had to take it.

Yeah, its ridiculous. I wouldn’t mind if the machines went from one weapon to the next in a sort of order, so for instance, Rigorous Kerblaster, Stabbing KerBlaster, Rhythmic Kerblastet, then went onto Nukems and their prefixes. But unfortunately, they don’t.

I’ll keep trying.

The chance of getting A Harold from the Torgue machine is 1 in 6, or 17%. When a Harold spawns, it has the 1 in 7(14%) chance of having the DP prefix. So, overall, your chance of getting a DPUH is ~ 2,4%.

Jesus. Thanks man, but that’s actually scarily low…

He didn’t mention grips either…

This keeps getting better and better…

If you happen to get to OP8 and are still looking for a DPUH, I have one listed in my trade thread that you can have. I don’t need anything in exchange. IIRC, I got it while farming the Loot Train. It is OP8 and all Torgue, except for the sight which is Maliwan.

Thanks for the offer man, if (or when) I get to OP8 I’ll definitely take it off your hands!

Speed purposes, the Forge is the quickest farm.

Completely forgot about the Forge! Thanks for reminding me! I’ll see if I get to 50 (which I will) and then I’ll switch over to the Forge.

Why not do the three that are accessible via fast travel? That’s how I did it. The badass crater, the forge, the beatdown, quit & save, then rinse & repeat.

With a specific grip your looking at around a 0.3% chance. And this assumes that you have an equal chance for each of the torgue legendaries, and an equal chance for each of the prefixes (likely but I don’t have enough data to say for certain yet)…I’ve started to think it’s best not to think about the numbers, lol.

I farm the arena or Pete’s bar, since the vendor is right next to the spawn point. But I’ve never considered loading times. I just assumed they were the same, or near enough. I guess Moxxi’s bar might be faster if the loading time is much faster.

The arena is great when you’re just starting the DLC, since you get to it right away.
