Qualitative improvements
- Legendary fire mode for the Fabricator
- The Fabricator now features a “Legendary” alternate fire mode that spawns between one and three legendary weapons for 250 Eridium. Activate this fire mode as with all weapons, and you will notice purple particles when using the Fabricator.
- Mission rewards available in the Veteran Vending Machine
- Players can now purchase old reward missions from the Veteran Vending Machine outside Mad Earl's door on Sanctuary. Once the missions are completed, their rewards will be added there and can be purchased with Eridium.
- Legendary Gear Available From Vending Machines
- We have rebalanced the Dispensers based on community feedback. Distributors of all types now have a little thing to offer legendary gear for purchase. We've also removed uncommon (green) items from Daily Items.
Adjustments to rewards from chests and brutal enemies
The quality of rewards found in chests and by killing brutal enemies has been slightly improved. Our goal is to keep chests interesting and players feel fairly rewarded for taking down difficult enemies.
Dedicated Loot Adjustments
Dedicated loot from each boss has been extensively redesigned with the goal of making it more reliable and making the farming experience more interesting. Most bosses have two pieces of gear associated with them, with a few exceptions. To achieve this goal, we've enabled respawning for the following bosses and redistributed gear more evenly.
- Big Tipper
- Undertaker
- Steak
- Eat Me and Eat Me
- Say it
- Rohner
- Rax
- Max
- Archer Rowe
- Globulin
- Muldock the Chosen
- Artemis
- Apollo
- King Bobo
- King Chew
- Elected X-2
- Elected X-3
- Elected X-4
- Azalea
- Lieutenant Preston
Chosen Bonus Adjustments
To further improve the farming experience, we reviewed Ascended bonuses and determined that some were not as interesting to the community as expected. Considering their wealth, we have removed the following 21 bonuses. Any gear that currently has these bonuses will continue to function as before, but gear received after this update will no longer be able to provide them.
