@Devs Grog Nozzle

The Grog Nozzle should be a reward for completing its respective quest.

That is all.

Yeah I totally agree.

At this stage, it isn’t likely to change. My recommendation would be to accept the mission but don’t turn it in (just like Doctor’s Orders where you accept but don’t actually collect any of the slag experiment notes). Just accepting the mission will effectively allow you to keep the Grog Nozzle indefinitely. I am pretty sure you can “dashboard farm” for a Prefix you are happy with. Yes the mission Grog Nozzle takes up an inventory slot, but so does a “real” Grog Nozzle. Since the Grog Nozzle was obtainable during the $100,000 loot hunt event in 11/2013, you might even still be able to acquire one by putting in a request in the Trade section for your gaming platform.

Doesn’t the Grog re-spawn into inventory each time the game loads? The stats, etc will change each time.

Poisd2Strike · June 23, 2015, 12:46am

Possibly. I haven’t done that mission in quite a while. But my point is you can still “have” one by keeping the mission open. And if you are correct about it re-spawning, you could always keep reloading until you get a Prefix, etc. you are happy with. Yes, it is kinda a pain but then so is dashboard farming for unique mission rewards like the Sand Hawk, Pimpernel, etc. and people do that all the time. Also, if you play BL2 on PC, Xbox 360 or PS3 then trading for a Grog Nozzle is at least possible. Would it be nice if GBX patched the game to give you a Grog Nozzle as a mission reward? Absolutely. Is it likely to happen at this stage? Nope.

That is correct. If you leave the mission open to keep the gun in your inventory, its parts and stats will change each time you load your game. So farming for a certain prefix on it is pointless.

Yes, but the healing stays the same. Seeing as how the damage isn’t anything to write home about, unless you’re looking for a bladed version, I wouldn’t worry about what I got.

tylerhasman10 · June 23, 2015, 5:15am

Right but another problem is if you want to Coop with friends, they need to have the quest active or you wont have your Grog Nozzle. Same for switching playthroughs. If I get the Grog Nozzle on normal mode I have to re-accept the quest in TVHM and UVHM. Seems like a good fix would to just give it as a reward.

Gulfwulf · June 23, 2015, 5:16am

Yeah, but like bringing back Krieg’s rants, it ain’t gonna happen. Anyway, only the host needs the quest open for everybody to get a nozzle.

I think I put the one I got from the Community Day Loot Hunt on a mule (it was level 48). For BL3, if Gearbox want to avoid players abusing such items, my suggestion would be for it to only spawn in the location where the mission is located- you leave the area, the item disappears…
