Looking for Grinder Recipes

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel BL:TPS Discussion

Please take note that whatever I say about Items in TPS are just based on my experiences and opinions only.

I myself am tired of grinding away useless Legendary items (Like ZX-1 and Min Min Lighter) with 210 Moonstones just to get back Legendary items I hate (Like the Longnail, Invader, Fragnum, KerBoom, Flakker, Rolling Thunder… Wow I really dislike Torgue Legendary items lol… ).

Does anyone know Recipes for Jakobs, Maliwan, and Hyperion Legendary items because what I really want are the:
Maggie (I love that Pistol To death!)
Striker
Hammer Buster II
Magma
Hellfire
& Viral Marketer

Does the Purple rank gun you use affect the resulting item?

#2

No there’s no way to fix anything other than weapon type (decided by the Purple weapon).

#3

Yep. If you want a Magma, use a purple sniper rifle - you won’t get a torgue gun :stuck_out_tongue:

#4

So only the DLC items are determined by the Legendary items while the Main Game ones are entirely random?

#5

I mean the DLC ones are a special case because there’s only 1 legendary dlc shotgun/Launcher/Pistol (Flayer/Kanedas/Prole) and there’s special rules for the DLC4 weapons.

#6

I thought it was two legendaries plus a purple of the type of weapon you want, e.g. a purple pistol for a Maggie, a purple SMG for a Hellfire, etc. Three purples give a random weapon back.

#7

Two pistols - Luck Cannon and Prole.

#8

the point stands, low DLC4 legend pool and their wierd grinding mechanic makes it very likely to get what you want.

#9

Yep - only took 10 tries to get my lv50 doc’s flayer w/jakobs grip. Half of those tries were legendaries, 4 of which were flayers.

#10

Not a big fan of grinding, but it seemed that using a weapon of the brand you want helped determine what you get… Not 100% accurate but more likely, at least for me…

I was using a scav shotgun and at least 3 of the 5 failures were scav.
