Different loot for different classes?

Does certain loot only drop if you’re that character? (I’ve been trying to get this Clap-Trap head for the past few days now.) as Athena.

After countless trys I haven’t been able to get it, so I’m coming to a thought that it may only drop (or have a higher chance on dropping) if I’m Claptrap.

(If you’re wondering, I’m trying to get the SHDO-TP head from Claptastic DLC. All I know is this head is dropped by Shadow-Trap, on a rare chance he’ll appear in round 3 (L33T h4X0rz) annnnnd even if you beat him it’s still a small chance he’ll drop it. (well maybe all I’ve been able to get is Athena heads >.>)

No, but I believe the drops are weighed more toward the character your playing as.

#3

ah that sucks, so it’s just probably better if I just be claptrap while doing this. (if it’s true.) I’ll probably try to beat him once more if nothing, well I guess I’ll start my Claptrap playthrough :smile:

It definitely is weighed towards your class in BL2 and I’ve noticed the same here in TPS too. In both games, the heads/skins for my class were among the first to drop. Without that weighing, you are much less likely to get the item for a specific class you’re not using. After all, there are 6 classes so it can become rather annoying to get them all without that bonus.

#5

Class mods skins and char heads are weighed iirc

#6

Yes, those too.

Ah well thanks a bunch guys, I had no idea…right now I’m trying to spawn shadow trap in for that one last try lol (I did manage to get a Wilhelm head, but I’m sure that was very rare considering I’m not using him.)
