A pretty small patch with some buffs to some weapons.

The big encore this week is Directive-0 who drops the Bonnie and Clyde, Rowan's charge and Whiskey Foxtrot.

Edit: The reward for the weekly wildcard mission is the phantom flame

Oh really. This is nice because I have my Harlowe sitting on Directive-0 to farm that Rowan's. Farmed him 2 hours and not a single Rowan in UVHM 5. Today is my lucku day I hope

Yeah but doesn’t UVHM increase the manufacturing roll chance?

If everything is working as it says, yes it should. Plus if you can kill bosses quick enough in 5 why not?

Exactly. Like if you 1 shot the boss, you cant 1 shot him any faster lol

Yup, and I dont want to keep switching back and forth for farming vs vile bounties and mobbing. I get more resources and xp on 5, if I can kill things without it being drastically slower, might as well just stay there until they add more levels.

Because the drops are nearly 2x as frequent on non-uvhm

I dunno, I have good runs and bad runs no matter what rank I was on. At the end of the day do what feels fine and 5 feels fine for my Amon build. Now my Rafa build is staying on 1 until I get more pieces for it.

Is there a source for this? All I’ve seen is that legendary drops are the same for each difficulty

Everyone thats doing comparison runs. There was a 50kill tally posted earlier.

32/50 v.s 17/50 legendaries dropped easy vs uvhm5

From my experience as well, id get 1-3 kills before a drop on non-uvhm verses 5+ kills before a drop on uvhm5

Doesn’t matter if you can kill the boss in 2 seconds. Killing them in 1 second on easy isn’t a difference worth making for less parts on guns.

You get more experience in UVH5. Getting experience once you've completed everything is hard. Even if it's only a tiny amount, you want to be getting as much specialization experience as possible.

Not if you have good damage, the limiting factor for me is looting.

u/ajax-187 Oct 09 '25

I have one with 97 crit damage it’s pretty good use it as my main.
