So what’s the difference between “Mega Loot Drops” and “Legendary Drops”? Like, does Mega Loot mean we get all Legendary items/weapons dropped in one place, or is it just specific boss items/weapons from their loot pool that drop?

Same with Legendary Drops—how exactly does this work? We know there are Carrots that do this, but they’re random every time. Does “Legendary Drops” mean all weapons/items from different bosses can drop, or only specific items?

Also, about Reset Vending Machine Items: when using Legendary or Mega Loot/Drops, it shows Legendary loot in the vending machine, but when you refresh, it just shows the same Legendary loot again. What’s the deal with that?

And finally, can we get an option to adjust the loot—like a slider for Uncommon/Common/Epic/Legendary—so we can target specific drops? Because not all Legendary items are OP; some purple (Epic) items are even more powerful. Sure, there are Carrots for this already, but adding it directly into the trainer would be way better.

well those options were the ones that made them unkillable for me. I just had to reload the save and there were killable again

Anyone having an issue where everything works great, then about an hour in, the game crashes?

From what my experience is with using all of the trainer options you mentioned, this is what I have seen.

Mega loot drops means that when you kill someone, they will drop a bunch of loot of varying quality. It still seems pretty much random though. I don't know if there is a loot table or not and if it would only drop stuff from that table though.

Legendary drops means that IF something drops on a kill, it will be legendary. Right now, all the legendary drops from regular enemies are just different variations on the same items. I'm not completely certain if bosses drop those same items though. I think I'll pop into the game and experiment with various bosses and the legendary option to see if it makes a difference.

If you combine the two options, every kill will drop a bunch of legendary stuff, but it will all be slightly different variations of the same items.

If you use the reset vending machine option with the legendary drop option, you will only be offered variations of the same pistol.

I actually came here to ask if they were going to, or if they are even able to change the legendary drop items to be more randomized. But now I'm curious if you can get different items by farming bosses.

I'll be honest. I almost didn't buy the game because of all the negativity I heard about PC performance. But I did and now I'm 30 hours in on a PC that doesn't even meet the supposed minimum stats to play and I only crashed once. That's on 4 to 8 hour play sessions as well.

Even using the trainer and the various options and editor, I haven't had an issue playing yet, other than the one crash.

Does everyone's legendary option work fine for Enhancements? It seems that if I have it on, enhancements will always be exclusive to Amon (Forgeknight).

First off the last update of B4 added a bug so all the enhancement drops are for another character class, not the one your playing. And it seems using the trainer then all those other class drops seem to be for amon. unless of course your playing amon.

I also noticed the legendary drops with the legendary drops option on are all for only 2 weapons and different variations of those 2 weapons. A Roach pistol and a Sniper. The Roach is interesting but after 1 dont really need more. Occasionally there will be an enhancement to the roach or the sniper other wiser even though they are named different they are almost the same with different dps.

I posted my last reply before going back and reading old posts. I will try using the MEGA loot tomorrow. Even if the legendary drops were different. I think i would turn it off anyway since the amount of legendary that drop from killing off 6 or 7 enemies in an area are enough legendary to last a lifetime lol .

So thanks for adding it its a shame the Devs made it so hard to get a variety of LEgendaries using a trainer. But they probably did it on purpose. Thanks again for trying.
BUT Mega loot does drops tons of loot and it does appear to be a variety as far as i saw. So that will be the best bet.
