+2 Team Find Rare Items

Borderlands Loot and Weapons
#1

+2 what? Percent? Does anyone know exactly how much it improves drop rates? I seem to be getting more Legendary world drops and better items in the vending machines but I’m not sure how much my class mod helps.

#2

There is no noticeable change in drops unfortunately, even when modded to ridiculously high numbers

#3

Strange, me and a friend were both using Catalyst mods that had the +2 on them and it really felt like we found better quality weapons and gear. Guess I was imagining it :cry:

This post in particular gives some pretty strong numbers on the matter if you’re curious. The rest of the topic is also very interesting overall.

I do not understand such RNG?

Ok after reading all 109 posts I’ve come to the conclusion that it does VERY little, however the percentages without the FRI are so small I believe every little bit helps. I think I’ll continue to use it.

Thanks @BlackHeartV for directing me to that very informative thread.

Edit: also thank you @MeltintheSun for creating the very informative thread and doing all the testing/research into the matter. People like you are the reason I love the Gearbox forums.

Someone should make a “patch” that changes the text from ‘±numerical value- find rare items’ to ‘±numerical value- placebo effect’ cause that all it seems to do pretty much.
Yes I’m ~16h late to the discussion but whatever.

Curious which percentages you’re calling small…you mean % of total for the really rare parts?

As I said in that thread, it certainly won’t hurt to use it, and will get you a few more shields/coms/grenades if you’re using Mordy.

I use it in my Catalyst mod, got some good weapons for my chars (Roland and Lilith)
