Borderlands Pre Sequel Gambling

Posted on |



Borderlands The Pre-Sequel has plenty of legendary items. These are the highest quality items with Orange color quality. There are multiple ways to get them though, and the new Grinder system makes getting them even easier, sort of.

  • Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is set between the first and second game, and it attempts to detail how beloved villain Handsome Jack from Borderlands 2 became the power mad, evil Hyperion leader. Borderlands 2 goes out of its way several times to show how petty and cruel Jack is, in an effort to craft a character with so much charisma and snark.
  • The Lucky Shot slot machines are located in Moxxi 's Up Over bar in Concordia. Completing this challenge is purely down to random chance and will likely take many spins of the slots. The cost per spin depends on story-line progression.
  • Mostly everything about Borderlands 2 is present in The Pre-Sequel with a few changes, some good and some bad. Overall though, with the excellent gameplay, somewhat higher difficulty and challenge, and the excellent dialogue and narrative by characters both old and new, fans of Borderlands 2 will likely get the same amount of enjoyment out of.

Random Drops

The harder versions of enemies are called 'Badass' and these enemies can sometimes drop legendary quality items. This is completely random and there is a certain type of enemy that drops them.

There are also items that drop from specific enemies. You will only get these items from killing that particular enemy. Below is the list of current enemies that drop legendaries.

  • Iwajira - Drops Thingy rocket launcher
  • Meg - Drops Torrent smg
  • Redbelly - Drops Striker shotgun
  • Bosun - Drops Cryophobia rocket launcher
  • Flame Knuckle - Drops Derp Nukem rocket launcher
  • Zarpadon - Drops The ZX-1 laser weapon and Prismatic Bulwark Shield
  • RK-5 - Drops Prismatic Bulwark shield
  • Sentinel - Drops Black Hole shield, Eridian Vanguisher Class mod, and more

Slot Machines

You can spend cash at the slot machines in Moxxi's bar, just like in Borderlands 2. It is random and a lot of times you don't get anything good, but if you're lucky, you can roll 3 vault symbols in a row and get a legendary that way.

Vending Machine

When buying from vending machines, there is a special item on the right that changes periodically. This can sometimes be a legendary item. They cost A LOT of money, so be sure to save up in case you see one some time.

Quests

There are only 2 quests that I know of that give legendary items, but there may be more that I haven't gotten to yet. Future DLC could also put more in.

The first is an Oz kit from the quest, 'To Arms'. You have to donate 50 'white' quality guns at the quest objective to complete it and get the Oz kit.

The second is the last story quest, 'The Beginning of the End'. You get a head customization called Champion of Eleseer. This looks the same on every character.

Grinder

The Grinder is a new system in Borderlands The Pre-Sequel that lets you combine 3 items to get 1 better item. There are certain recipes to get what you want, but the legendary recipe is pretty straightforward.

To get a legendary item from the grinder, you must combine 2 legendary items and 1 purple item. You might be thinking, 'Well why would I want to do that?' Great question!

The reason for doing this is control over the legendary weapon type. Whichever purple item you put in will be the type of item you get after combining. For example, if you put in 2 legendary rocket launchers and 1 purple pistol, you'll get a legendary pistol.

You also have the chance to get Luneshine. This adds an extra effect to the gun such as more experience or extra damage. It is important to note that this is only guaranteed if you use the moonstone grind.

When grinding, press the button designated for moonstone grind to use moonstones while grinding. This costs a lot, but gives you the best possible item with your combination. The new item's level will be the average of the 3 guns you put in.

Special Legendaries

These are items that you get by doing something specific in the game.

  • Excalibastard - This is in a stone in Stanton's Liver. Go to the top left of the map where the disconnected islands are. You must have a badass rank of 2500 or more to get it.
