I do suggest running through the beginning of the level as well. The sheer number of stalkers and rakk offers good chances for Tubby's (great legendary drop chances) and there's two or three crates that also spawn Loot Midgets. Near the stalkers at the beginning, and out near the loading docks - above the laser fenced room, and the lockers by the staircase. Add the chance to hit up Timon and Puumba as well, and it's worth doing this from the start.
the number of loot midgets is directly proportional to the amount of recorders you collected for doctors orders. so 1/4 means that 3 midgets arrive. 0/4 means 4. 3/4 means 1 and so on. so dont pick up any of the recorders
The Midgets scale to the level of the area not to the level of the quest. If you don't accept the "Doctors Orders" mission there will almost never be any midgets at all. In UVHM the midgets will be the same level as the highest character in the game. In TVHM after killing the Warrior the midgets will be Lv 50 and before killing the Warrior they will be around 40 or so (I forget exactly.)
So after messing around a bit on my first playthrough of UVHM, it seems pretty set in stone, (for me at least) that your number of midgets is determined by the amount of quest items picked up. In my first UVHM playthrough, I started after grabbing the first echo in the box before anything and consistently got 3 midgets. Only once every 15+ runs it MAY vary up or down. So I continued on after I felt I did enough and grab a second echo. Went back and consistently got 2 midgets. Got a third echo a
No worries. I'm thinking of doing a vid of 50 runs to see what the drop rates are for Pearl/Legendary weapons and relics. Is that something people would want to see?
Turns out that there is a glitch and that some people wont be able to spawn there. It has to do with if you collected the slag samples during the story mission. They are fixing it but if you are having troubles I'd suggest just going into the annex and save/quit in that area. That way its just a door away.
All I ever find for legendary/rare stuff is shields. I got a Neogenator (Spycho) and The Impaler (the Warrior) in the same hour. I did get a Volcano from the Warrior once, too. I suck at finding legendaries.
I can confirm this. I accidentally picked up the note in the box in my Siren's game but not in my Gunzerker's. He gets 4 midgets almost every time while as you can see she mostly gets three.
The spawn rate for the midgets is based on the amount of quest items out of 4 you have picked up. The reason only 3 spawn in the video is because there is 3 notes not picked up. If you dont pick up the one that spawns in the loot midget room then you will get a guaranteed spawn rate for all 4 loot midgets
I have the DLC and I've gone in and accepted a mission from the guy behind the counter. When I save and quit, even from within the creature slaughter dome, when I load back up, I start at the beginning of the wildlife exploitation preserve.
+BioScumTube Does the Doctor's Orders Quest give you a higher chance of Loot Midgets everywhere you go or just in the Preserve? I would love the option of going to EVERY location in game with loot spots so that I can farm rare loot. You may have to restart a playthrough on Normal to fully test this but it would be great if that is the case.
Strange... Try quitting out and loading back in while in the Natural Selection Annex. Then once you exit the Annex and return to the Wildlife Exploitation Preserve and the game has saved quit out again from right there. It should spawn you back in front of the door that leads to the Natural Selection Annex. If that still doesn't work for you you can always just return to the Natural Selection Annex again before quitting which is much faster than travelling from the other entrance.
I love this method, I've done it about ten times, and got a transformer shield, a baddaboom rocket launcher, a Slagga SMG, and some kind of awesome corrosive shotgun all legendary. All I had before I did this was a double penetrating unkempt Harold and the firehawk shield....so really cool
If you leave the quest item that is in the third to the right box, you will get 4 midgets to spawn every time. also if you dont pick up the bloodwing feather the gates stay closed housing all the animals
Pearl weapons only drop in UVHM as far as I know but the others should drop in any game type (though ALOT less often). I'd recommend farming the treasure room if you aren't up to UVHM yet. I have a vid showing how to do that as well.
if you screwed up and did the slag sample mission the area in thousand cuts right before the bunker is good to farm for midgets too but its a little more annoying with all the things shooting at you
Hey bioscum i noticed you are using the vault hunters relic i recently discovered that it doesnt increase you chance for orange legrndarys but only increases your chance of getting blues more often
they dropped skin of ancients blood and 2 different fir varieties a bunny and another hellfire(the better one) and also butt stallion does drop orange it may seem like she doesnt and might take a ton of eredium but when she is gonna drop some citrus she stops and dances before.
Can't believe you missed that Orange mod! especially when it was for your Siren..i would understand if you felt a little butt-hurt when you watched the footage afterwards.
If you pick up the Skag experimentation notes the midgets don't spawn as much, he has 1 picked up already so usually only 3 spawn. If you don't pick up any your chances are increased.
If you accept tbe mission Animal Rights after killing Bloodwing then three areas in the WEP will be virtually devoid of enemies including the spawn right outside of the creature slaughter dome. So long as you don't release any of the animals there'll be half as many enemies to deal with.
torgues campaign of carnage vending machine, or savage lee drop. its the unkempt harold one row of six explosive shots. the double penetrating is better shooting two rows
I have had a go at farming thousand cuts, but never got one pearl weapon from there. plus I seem to have bad luck finding the midgets. A guaranteed 4 midgets every 5 or 6 mins is much better than I was doing at Thousand Cuts.
I have no idea mate. Being online shouldn't effect whether they appear or not but it will effect your ability to move beyond Lv 50. Checklist: 1. Get to Wildlife Exploitation Preserve 2. Make sure you have accepted Tannis' quest "Doctor's Orders" 3. Make sure you haven't picked up the slag experiment notes. (1 is ok but best to leave them all.) 4.??? (open boxes) 5. Profit.
There is a high chance in Thousand cuts if you do yhe mission 'Rocko's modern strife" but dont turn it in so that way nobody there will attack you and all you have to worry with are the midgets in lockers
do you know in which mode (normal, tvhm or uvhm) the natural selection annex becomes available?? i purchased the dlc but i can't access the "door" to it (does not show)
Nice vid, do you have a level 55+ legendary shield that you would "share" right now I'm using the lv 50 bee but later on that just doesn't do the trick anymore at least not with my assasin
But there are probably some other unknown variables. My average is 3 midgets but I've had from NONE to 4. Some times I'll get one midget and get a nice leg or pearle or sometimes I'll get 4 midgets and not even a relec.. It's just all over the place. But time is money so keep at it, whether the drops for you are low or high there are still drops.
First look at video quality I was like "OMG this hurts my eyes! I can't believe anyone could play like that!" Looks on fullscreen "Hey that looks like my game..."
At my first time doing this, i got a Stalker, and (i don't remember the name) the Tediore SMG that regenerate ammo, and when you throw it, it keeps firing :v
your level of sincereness at 15:00 got you another subscriber, great video friendo. one question did you get your double penetrating unkempt harold as a loot midget drop?
Not on Xbox 360. You can go into the fighting dome, walk back out, save and quit, and it should load you at that point. It's been working for me. I think they patched this about 2 weeks ago
"its not to hard with level 50 weapons" is using a harold which is arguably the best pistol in the game and arguably one of if not the best weapon in the game.
Lol can u please tell me HOW u spawn at the Fighting Dome? i have that DLC too but when i save there it doesnt spawn me there it spawns me at the fast travel :C
wait so in order to spawn at the selection annex I gotta quit there, run back to it again from the beginning of the wildlife explotation preserve and it'll allow me to spawn there after each time I quit?
Did he realize that he can't spawn all 4 midgets because he looted one of the quest items? I made it almost to the end.. surprised he didn't notice. I'm just starting to do this at lvl 72 to try and get some funky stuff for progressing my siren. I've got the lvl 72 Bee and DPUH. The mobs on the way to these midgets are a pain in the butt.. those cloaking mobs really piss me off :) I've not got anything other than those e-tech relics.. but didn't know about the named mobs back outside at the end of the run.. although I must've killed them before as I've had a few legendaries in that part of the map.
to date my loot list, 3 sawbars, 2 tunguskas, 3 avengers, 2 bearcats, the bitch, fastball, quasar, class mods for all classes, lyuda sniper rifle, and about half a dozen others.
I got two pearls and an orange from the chest in two runs. A 'Clean Gunerang' , a 'Perma Sharp Avenger' and 'Resolute Stalker'. This is a great way to get weapons.
I dont if I just got bad luck on every play session, but for some reasons its like RNG is broken to me. Those LLM keep dropping ancient relics only! Its irritating. PS: dont pick that echo recorder in the parcel box or else only 3 loot midgets will pop out in your play
must be a bug. You should spawn there after doing it like that. Inside the CSD or if you leave that area and quit after farming outside like in the video
You have to be in your highest possible playthrough to get pearls. If you have the expansion pack that increases your level cap, you have to be in UVHM...
The best I've gotten on one run was a butcher a unkempt Harold (the normal version) and I got a transformer on the way there too so pretty lucky considering I have the worst luck ever that must have been my lucky day :)
SOMEONE HELP! do loot midgets adjust to your level casue I was farming on TVHM and they were dropping legendary guns like 6 levels below me (doctors orders farming)
I do suggest running through the beginning of the level as well. The sheer number of stalkers and rakk offers good chances for Tubby's (great legendary drop chances) and there's two or three crates that also spawn Loot Midgets.

LOL If you take away "Borderlands 2" away, the title would sound a whole lot different
XDDD
lmao
XDDD
lmaoo
?
You can find it in the Torgue Vending machines in the Campaign of Carnage DLC. Its called 'Pretty in Punk'
The Midgets scale to the level of the area not to the level of the quest. If you don't accept the "Doctors Orders" mission there will almost never be any midgets at all. In UVHM the midgets will be the same level as the highest character in the game. In TVHM after killing the Warrior the midgets will be Lv 50 and before killing the Warrior they will be around 40 or so (I forget exactly.)
I like how the legendary he missed was a better version of his class mod.
You can run past the stalkers and robots at the very start until the ultimate badass loader spawns in which you have to kill to open the door

No worries. I'm thinking of doing a vid of 50 runs to see what the drop rates are for Pearl/Legendary weapons and relics. Is that something people would want to see?
Me too. Its a real good version too. One of the best other than the Double Penetrating if you ask me because of the high fire rate and accuracy.

I've just realised that because you have collected one of the slag capsules, that might be the reason you only get 3 Loot Midgets. Just a thought
Yeah, that is exactly right. I have since restarted a new playthru on op8 and haven't picked up any notes. I get 4 midgets every time.
Thanks. That helps me a lot. i've just started to farm them and i've gotten 2 of them and only get 2 loot midgets. Covered
byLLatious me too, it really sucks :\
I collected 2 Slag Capsules and i still get 3 loot midgets

These are some of the clips in the 151 loot midget drop rates video you did

I got an infinity out of the chest, it was on normal mode so it was only level 19 but still, it was awesome
How do you keep the gates for the creatures closed ??
If you accept tbe mission Animal Rights after killing Bloodwing then three areas in the WEP will be virtually devoid of enemies including the spawn right outside of the creature slaughter dome. So long as you don't release any of the animals there'll be half as many enemies to deal with.
Agreed, Some people have have luck looting Thousand Cuts but this is by FAR the best drop rate for midgets and its only while the quest is active.
I got an e tech Hyperion plasma caster out of a locker at Wildlife Preserve.
wow, i was trying to complete all of the shotgun challenges and a loot midget popped out of a chest and it dropped a lvl 19 conference call
torgues campaign of carnage vending machine, or savage lee drop. its the unkempt harold one row of six explosive shots. the double penetrating is better shooting two rows
We have the same DPUH mine just has different attachments but they have everything else in common
The worst part uvhm is Saturn and 3.0 constructors
and ironclad maniacs are annoying as fuck, they only seem to feel pain if you shoot them in the face.
Rabid stalkers are my most hated. They're SO fast and just keep charging you.
Thanks for the tip guys
Loot midget vs gunzerker: where did he go? I didn't even see the little midget
Lol nice job with the mods, I love how you got a unkept Harold from this...
it kinda is cuz once tha mission is activated the spawn rate there is increased incredibly but when the lvls over its back to a normal spawn rate
with the creature slaughter dome dlc. once you have it you can spawn there
If you get a weapon stuck behind the lockers, did you know you can jump on the crate onto the cage an get it?
I have had a go at farming thousand cuts, but never got one pearl weapon from there. plus I seem to have bad luck finding the midgets. A guaranteed 4 midgets every 5 or 6 mins is much better than I was doing at Thousand Cuts.
the chest next to the spot, i got a legendary class kod for kreig from it.
I have no idea mate. Being online shouldn't effect whether they appear or not but it will effect your ability to move beyond Lv 50.
Checklist:
1. Get to Wildlife Exploitation Preserve
2. Make sure you have accepted Tannis' quest "Doctor's Orders"
3. Make sure you haven't picked up the slag experiment notes. (1 is ok but best to leave them all.)
4.??? (open boxes)
5. Profit.
Did anyone notice that at the beginning of the video he was a lvl 57 Merciful Nurse, then he went to a lvl 56 Legendary Siren?!
I'm guessing the start of the video was when he was done with the runs and showing where you need to get to.
Did you know that if you max out moxxi's tip jar until you can't any more the spin machines give you better loot
I will try it
ok
Hey dude when I try save and quit out of the Natural Selection Annex I spawn back at the beginning of the Wildlife Exploitation Preserve
There is a high chance in Thousand cuts if you do yhe mission 'Rocko's modern strife" but dont turn it in so that way nobody there will attack you and all you have to worry with are the midgets in lockers
Well you can still pick it up it was just beside the cabinet
do you know in which mode (normal, tvhm or uvhm) the natural selection annex becomes available?? i purchased the dlc but i can't access the "door" to it (does not show)
i can´t enter the selection annex
i already tried to enter it after handing in the doctor´s order mission but i can´t enter :(
I left the mission log in the box, and there are always 4 loot midgets.
Nice vid, do you have a level 55+ legendary shield that you would "share" right now I'm using the lv 50 bee but later on that just doesn't do the trick anymore at least not with my assasin

your level of sincereness at 15:00 got you another subscriber, great video friendo. one question did you get your double penetrating unkempt harold as a loot midget drop?
the super badass loader too?
Slab town in Thousands cut has a like a 50% of loot migets just open all of the boxes!!
are you saying he is modding to get the harold drop? every legandary has a small chance to drop from everything but i higher chance from lootmidgets
Not on Xbox 360. You can go into the fighting dome, walk back out, save and quit, and it should load you at that point. It's been working for me. I think they patched this about 2 weeks ago
Can you get the new class mods from these guys?
I didn't know they could drop class mods :o thats actually really helpful since I'm still using a level 50 version of the legendary siren mod.
How do you farm at that level? I was 50 in TVHM but I'd always get lv44 crap..
"its not to hard with level 50 weapons" is using a harold which is arguably the best pistol in the game and arguably one of if not the best weapon in the game.
why do people farm for legendaries/pearls etc. on noob levels? they'll be obsolete once max level is achieved
cause it helps you lvl and gear up on the way rather than running around and dying alot more in uvhm
noob levels?
Noob levels are John Freeman's levels.
Why play once you hit max level?
Lol can u please tell me HOW u spawn at the Fighting Dome? i have that DLC too but when i save there it doesnt spawn me there it spawns me at the fast travel :C
wait so in order to spawn at the selection annex I gotta quit there, run back to it again from the beginning of the wildlife explotation preserve and it'll allow me to spawn there after each time I quit?
Go there go into the annex then go back out to the wild life preserve then just quit when ever you are done with the midgets.
If I go there the robots dont spawn. I have finished true vault hunter mode. Do I have to do this in ultimate vault hunter mode?
do the loot midgets also drop legendaries if you dont have any dlcs or add ons installed?
do i need to have the doctor's orders quest? Ive completed the game on UVHM.
Did he realize that he can't spawn all 4 midgets because he looted one of the quest items? I made it almost to the end.. surprised he didn't notice.
I'm just starting to do this at lvl 72 to try and get some funky stuff for progressing my siren. I've got the lvl 72 Bee and DPUH. The mobs on the way to these midgets are a pain in the butt.. those cloaking mobs really piss me off :)
I've not got anything other than those e-tech relics.. but didn't know about the named mobs back outside at the end of the run.. although I must've killed them before as I've had a few legendaries in that part of the map.
pimon drops the transformer shield and whats special about the shield is that you take no shock damage.
I got an unforgiven from these guys lv 57 >:( but i also got a 58 stalker from a chest :). How are you doing this with that note in the box picked up?
You have to go inside of it save and exit from there and when you come back in just exit it.
you still can get the orange behind the locker?
ultamate loot guy mode... nailed it
i want that gun dude dang its fast(the acid one) and the one that u r using at time 9:17 in video
to date my loot list, 3 sawbars, 2 tunguskas, 3 avengers, 2 bearcats, the bitch, fastball, quasar, class mods for all classes, lyuda sniper rifle, and about half a dozen others.
hey do i need to be in the third playthrew to get the relics and other stuff
This farming method is my favorite, but thousand cuts has some midgets as well. I did a run on it, check it out if you want.
The stats on legendary siren class mod are cooldown rate 41% gun damage 31%
DO YOU NEED MAP PACK GUYS FOR LEGENDARY ;OOT MIDGETS AND PEARLESCENTS
I got two pearls and an orange from the chest in two runs. A 'Clean Gunerang' , a 'Perma Sharp Avenger' and 'Resolute Stalker'. This is a great way to get weapons.
can u spawn there when you unlocked the csd without buying it and you leave that area or do you need someone to unlock it each time you want to farm?
I dont if I just got bad luck on every play session, but for some reasons its like RNG is broken to me. Those LLM keep dropping ancient relics only! Its irritating.
PS: dont pick that echo recorder in the parcel box or else only 3 loot midgets will pop out in your play
must be a bug. You should spawn there after doing it like that. Inside the CSD or if you leave that area and quit after farming outside like in the video
You have to be in your highest possible playthrough to get pearls. If you have the expansion pack that increases your level cap, you have to be in UVHM...
why not also grind for the skullmasher when you do this?
UVHM can be tough until you find out how awesome Unkempt Harold's are.
It really isn't that tough in my opinion.
+bigbluemoonshark farming for a purple quad shotgun is
Marco Rio What does that even have to do with UVHM? Farming for anything can be tough. But that has nothing to do with the difficulty of UVHM.
The best I've gotten on one run was a butcher a unkempt Harold (the normal version) and I got a transformer on the way there too so pretty lucky considering I have the worst luck ever that must have been my lucky day :)
6:17 How isn't that etec
Sorry but if i dont have the mision besause i did it, the midgets reapear?
How did he get it to start him from the annex? I can never get it to start me there.
I noticed the second Note was not in the box, did you pick it up first, then Save/Quit or does it matter?
SOMEONE HELP! do loot midgets adjust to your level casue I was farming on TVHM and they were dropping legendary guns like 6 levels below me (doctors orders farming)
did u finish the main story before farming on TVHM?
No they dont
do you have UVHM installed ? i have, and i cant level up for shit when i hit level 50 with anyone. can i fix this ? its realy ruining my fun ..
You need to buy the ultimate vault hunter upgrade or something like that
I'm on the vita and I can't get into the creature slaughter dome
u need dlc for it
It's dlc
I've done this trick like 15 times and haven't got one weapon from it. What am I doing wrong here????
