[Blutfatal (Min/Maxing and Flakker god)]

I’m pretty sure I ported over the DDD master.

[Kitty_Jo (Watcher on the wall)]

For BL2? Im not seeing it, blut…

[Blutfatal (Min/Maxing and Flakker god)]

Must have been one of the ones I bitched about not being able to post because of that stupid cap.

[lukecadman7 (Dontgdown2)]

Orange drops can come from any enemy, I got a legendary SMG from a skag.

[Blutfatal (Min/Maxing and Flakker god)]

What does that have to do with this topic?

[Blutfatal (Min/Maxing and Flakker god)]

Added.

[Blutfatal (Min/Maxing and Flakker god)]

Primary work have now been completed, as maps for Borderlands 2 main game, five main DLC’s (Scarlett, Torgue, Hammerlock, Tiny Tina, Digistruct Peak), Creature Dome DLC and Head Hunter packs have been released. This project is similar as my work on Borderlands: Pre-Sequel.

[Kitty_Jo (Watcher on the wall)]

(Finally) added the above guides.

[ndmsnipez (NdM HD)]

Could you add my Legendary weapon guides?

Legendary Guides

Here will contain all of my videos which show you how to obtain each legendary. Use CTRL+F to find the legendary you want! This is currently a WIP series.

@Kitty that link in the OP is missing the “Old” part in the address to make it work

[DeputyChuck (Sheriff)]

@Kitty_Jo that link in the OP is missing the “Old” part in the address to make it work

Sigh…

@Kitty_Jo That link in the OP is missing the “http://oldforums.gearboxsoftware.com/oldforums/20150308093344/” part in the address to make it work.

…doesn’t sound as well the second time around

[Kitty_Jo (Watcher on the wall)]

Added Derchs red text weapon guide.

[Kitty_Jo (Watcher on the wall)]

Added Derchs ultimate Bekah guide.
Thanks for making a couple new guides here lately @Derch. The BL2 Lootology has been a bit bare since we moved here.
