The RISE AND FALL of PEARLS in Borderlands!
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 08. 2024
- Pearls are the rarest and BEST gun type in the whole borderlands franchise ..or at least, they used to be. Over time pearls have slowly faded into the background in borderlands and even though there is definite fan demand for them to return once again, there have now been more borderlands games without pearls then with them.

I reeeeeally hope pearls return in BL4. That would be the dream.
Facts man. Would be wild!
@joltzdude139 if only there were people on this platform with 500k plus subs that could say this to get them back into the game... oh wait
Joltz has already made a few vids on wanting pearls back in bl4 lol but I get your point haha
@@mikesgamer12agreed, these creators need to voice our concerns online straight to Gearbox (not behind closed doors or in a top 5 needed changes video) they need to make them listen and have the community knocking on their door about fixes and additions to the games we love or want to love
Don't We All?
Pearls need to be incredibly rare, and best in slot for their particular roll. Either for having completely out of the box unique effects, or just really powerful stats. Either way ever Pearl should be S tier.
100% agree
Yes I agree too
Having something so rare be best in slot just because of raw numbers would create an overly centralized meta, but I'm absolutely in favor Pearl's that have completely off the walls over the top bonkers crazy effects. The reward for farming these exceedingly rare itens shouldn't just be pure power, but a joyful spectical to behold, the kind of thing that completely redefines what gunplay even is. When someone is weilding a Pearl, it should be unmistakably different than any normal gun.
@@EmeralBookwiseAgreed. I would prefer to have no pearls at all than to make them absolutely the best choices in the game mathematically. There either gotta be some type of tradeoff going on or just make them even more unique in their gimmicks then legendaries ever were
No. Pearls should not be best in slot. That would make the game super boring as it would destroy any sort of build diversity. I like it more when guns have a particular niche role to fill. Like the Carnage in BL2. It's not very good on most characters but shines on Krieg due to proccing Blood Bath.
Carnage is actually also a returning shotgun from bl1. It could appear as any rarity and always had the flavour text of “HOLY CRAP IT SHOOTS ROCKETS!”, and funnily it had a chance to appear on some of the legendary shotguns and would replace the red text with that message.
What was cool about BL1 was parts that changed how the gun worked or legendary parts wasnt limited to the barrel like it was in BL2 and 3, it could be different parts. Like how he mentioned the Nemesis Invaderis the Nemesis barrel spawned with the Invaders scope. That cant happen in BL2 because all legendary parts are barrels, so no mix matching is possible.
@ORLY911 my personal favorite in bl1 was a masher version of the regenerating ammo revolver god I miss revolvers
@@BorderFreak My favorite find from what I remember was a Masher Anaconda I found in a garbage can XD
8:54 Unforgiven? More like ..ahh, we all know the Puma meme 🤣 ☠️
Randy Pitchfork really needs to put back Pearls in Borderlands 4 or a higher rarity for that Great Endgame Content.
Agreed
Yes
Grease just dribbles off of Randy likes he’s a deep fryer
Bahahah whaattttt. So out of nowhere and yet I'm not disagreeing lmaoo
Probably one of your best scripted videos yet, very nicely done
Thank you, it means a lot. Especially coming from you, aye.
Back in my day pearls were worth a damn!
Im surprised he did not mention the original glitched "Pearlescent" guns in BL1.
Before Crawmerax was introduced- They would appear as White Common guns but the stats of Legendary guns.
Me and my friends used to call the new "Pearlescent" weapons and shields etc introduced after Crawmerax "Cyan".
Yeah I was kicking myself that I didn't mention that at the start aye
I'll be quite honest, Pearls seem like a weird mixed bag to me as someone who doesn't have the nostalgia of grinding for pearls in BL1.
Like, the concept is great, and the execution in BL2 is better, but making a weapon that good seems extremely hard without accidentally destroying any variety taken by players. Once you get a pearl, unless you get a better roll of the same thing, you are likely never gonna give that pearl up for something else. I think that's kind of the main issue that you run into. If you have something like the Grog Nozzle, it's always going to be chosen over any other option.
I see your point but pearls ARE actually that balanced in bl1. They're hard to get, yes. They're the best guns in the game, yes. But that doesn't mean the legendaries aren't still good. They're are alot of times where I'd choose a gun like the unforgiven over a pearl for a certain situation or enemy type and the same valence can be achieved again.
Well I mean they are the hardest to get guns in the game You either have to finish one of the hardest You either have to finish one of the harder DLCs And then fight one of the hardest bosses for ungodly amount of time so I expect a really good weapon out of it
I was a HUGE fan of the Bekah, Godfinger, and Unforgiven on my OP10 Maya character. Sure they weren't good against robots, but anything with a decently large crit spot got fucking shredded
I agree that that would've been fun apart from unforgiven lol. Especially on OP10. The accuracy loss if you try to spam it is so bad even with its awful delay between shots... if I wanted to carefully aim for high crit dmg I'd use an ar or a sniper lmao
Ironically the Bekah became my de facto sniper rifle because it has the characteristics that mimic the most powerful sniper rifle in the game, the Lyudmila, while having the ammo pool of the assault rifle class making it ideal for mobbing at long distance.
I heard that persona 5 music and flipped. Love hearing crossovers from my favorite games 👽
I have found every pearl in bl1 except for the Nemesis pistol.
Nemesis my beloved
Won't lie, during my time playing BL2, I have not spent much time playing UVHM, let alone OP levels save for maybe 2 characters (Krieg and Sal), so my Pearl experience is very limited... BUT.
I freaking adore the Butcher. It's a shotgun which feels like a high kick assault rifle which also has ammo regen on top of it, the damage is there even in BL3, the skin is nice, the reference is neat, it's just AWESOME.
The Unforgiven, as a concept, would be my favorite, if the damage was like 10-100x higher, it was a masher, and it wasn't the only one or one of the few Jakobs weapons which do not have the Jakobs-signature "fanning the hammer" AKA firing as fast as you click mechanic. TPS Luck Cannon feels more like a powerhouse than it does...
Yes to all this man! Unforgiven would be peak if it didn't have the shit delay and accuracy debuff when trying to spam.
@@Cashew1405 My take on why pearl weapons are not as unique as they are supposed to be is because most of them don't have special effects that compensate for the inherent weakness of their weapon classes or manufacturers unlike some well known blue rarity or legendaries. The Twister for example, does exactly what a quad shotgun normally does but it also has a splash damage making it synergize with explosive boosting skills and it has the shock element making it suitable for breaking shields, something a Jakob shotgun normally can't do. The problem with most pearlscene weapons is that they are trying to do what their weapon classes are already doing but better. This however has a diminishing return.
Should do a vid about the seraph weapons! How they’re endgame raid gear but mostly worse than most endgame legendaries you’d be using to even get them in the first place
I do plan to make that one aswell as one on hybrid weapons from bl1
Whenever I farm that tubby spiderant spot from claptocurrency for class mods I can't seem to get anything except the bearcat, but I've grown to love it. Not for any practical reason but because the explosions can be pretty
Bearcat would probs be one of my favs if the damage existed
Pearls feel like the perfect solution to legendaries becoming more common.
With them, legendaries can become the semi-rare items that you can get relatively easily just to have fun using them in end game, and pearls can become the SUPER rare items for people that want to farm something a lot rarer.
I 100% agree. If they keep going the route of legendaries over inflating the loot pool, pearls are a must
Still my favorite memory on bl2 was getting an avenger from a bullymong pile
Pearl world drops in bl2 are the only time for me that they REALLY feel like they did in bl1. Getting a world drop pearl, even if they aren't that good, is still exiting because of how rare a pearl world drop is!
I have so many hours in BL2 (probably close to 1000 across console generations and pc) and have never once seen a pearl. Gearbox needs to do what they did with legendaries in 3.
Could not disagree more.
In all of your time playing bl2 have you ever try'd to farm pearls? Try killing loot midgets or Uranus Cassius from the Fight for Sancuary DLC they all drop pearls like crazy.
I'd be able to see what you mean by that if only referring to gen 2 pearls since they are super rare from tubbies but even so, making pearls more commen then whites would ruin the balencing of the game
Definitely, i love playing as Mordecai in B1, he's so damn good
I see we have a man of taste in the chat
Storm is mad powerful with Gaige. For some reason the shock DoT on the Storm is boosted by damage buffs(unlike ANY other weapon in the game...). Those are then multiplied by slag for even nicer damage, but then, the clincher, electrical burn adds a burn effect with the same exact damage THAT GETS MULTIPLIED BY SLAG AGAIN. So you get nine times the damage from that dot burn. And of course, DOTs aren't reduced by Close Enough, so you can never even miss. Pretty crazy.
Especially with a catalyst com aswell.
In general it's not that good tho sadly. No character can really make it work besides Gaige, especially in OP levels
Serpens just due to how useful corrosive dmg is in BL1. It has a permanent position in slot 3 of my AR Roland build.
FACTS
What pearl would you like to see return the most in Bordelrands 4?
The one in moxxi's bar in Torgue DLC. Make him a loot midget type rare enemy that drops pearls
OK, this is the best possible answer. She's too good to beat
I guess just the Butcher, Bekah, and maybe Unforgiven. All the others from both what you've described and how little I see of them in build videos and such, make them look they wouldn't be missed.
The Storm but you know good this time.
I would not mind to see the Tsunami again (and maybe the Serpens too) They were so much fun to use.
Preferably the Tsunami returning as an SMG like it always has been.
I think this'll give me the motivation to continue my farming for more Borderlands 1 pearlescents! Also, a very entertaining video you have here. I play Borderlands 1 and 2 just to farm pearlescents as it's kinda fun in a way.
The bl1 pearl grind is so addicting
Wait I had no idea that the stalker was in bl1. I mean I haven't really played much bl1 but you'd think I'd have known that lol.😂😂😂
The Butcher is my favorite so far
Classic!
man i dream of quitting my job to make stuff i care about and share online. this makes me realize i suck and shouldn't do that.. . . but as a OG fan i can tell you put some real effort into this and it's a great reflection of the community at large.
Mate, same. Quitting my job to just do this all day is the dream. Thanks for all the compliments but don't sell yourself short. The more do something the better your going to get at it.
i never knew that the undertake has this chance to drop on the rocketeers
that explains the fact that i got 3 of them in my xbox 360 save file
Cool to see you do a more serious style video as well (I said more, not entirely :) )
Yeah I want to start doing alot more of these video essay's since it's a pretty untapped market in the bl community but they are alot of work!
Keep it up! Hope they do well
Compelling engaging, and easy to follow
I love this video
You have some better content here then a lot of the main guys
I apriciate you saying that, that's so encouraging to hear!
i like how reliable the wanderlust is its so totally useful and it totally has perfect accuracy and ammo conservation
Same it's so much fun to use and also shoot haha
@@Cashew1405 yea and its firerate and damage is good as well its also good at all ranges
Yes! Love using it on my melee Krieg!
After all... you can't spell Wonderlust without AAAGGGUIHGGHGGGHHHHH!!!! WHYYYY!!!!!
@@Cashew1405 wonderlust is 10x better than unkempt harold
what i would probably do to make pearls more valuable is that When you find them they are as weak as common weapon but can be level up by using them to kill ennemies making their damage stat match legendary weapons while having the drop rates being between epic and legendary
I personally don't really like that idea. I feel that if your lucky enough to get a pearl to drop, that should just be it. I don't want to force the player to do extra work that isn't needed. I don't want to take away from the feeling when a pearl does drop, y'know
To this day, every summer, I create a new BL1 character just to build them up and chase pearls. Some of my best memories as a teen were pulling all nighters hitting The Farmory and Crawmerax. To this day I've never seen a Bessie, and getting it to drop has become the goal for each character. One day I'll get one.
Fuck yeah!
Thank you for noticing my amazing ability of counting.
Watching these videos really makes me want to play bl2 for the 100000000000000000009999900000000000000000000000th time spending hours to farm the same guns and dropping the game for another 5 months and repeat
It's funny how amongst the most powerful weapons in borderlands 2 probably half of them are blue due to the interaction with the bee. Hell, even the conference call lost it's God tier status because the removal of the interaction with the bee.
Yeah, kinda crazy how in the top 10 borderlands 2 weapons not a single one would be a pearl aye
@@Cashew1405 The Bekah and Butcher both belong in top 10..
The CC is still a top tier shotgun with or without the Bee.
Besides, if you are rating guns based on how they perform with a Bee you are not rating them fairly in the first place.
@@theobell2002 But because so many people lean on the bee that's why it's common to see BL 2 guns are rated depending on how they work with the bee. But many of the best guns are already strong without the Bee though like the CC, it just used to be even stronger on the top list.
I actually got the bear cat from the warrior, shot it a few times and was like is this rare? It's crap.
Awww rip lmao. I'm no stranger to some rare pearl drops either. My first ever pearl was from tiny Tina's slots in flamerock
You forgot to mention that when they first appeared. They were white anuntil they redid them and made them that cyan blue
The fact a modder got pearls to work for bl3 is hilarious.
Your delivery was incredible- you’ve earned a sub :)
The ledge was also a thing in the terromorphous fight but was sadly pached out for some reason
Who needs the ledge in Terra's fight when you have pride rock
What are you talking about? BL3 has a pearl….of ineffable knowledge
I never understood why borderlands 2, never capitalized on a Hyperion armory style dlc.
Would have been insanely fun
I got the Omega shield off Crawmerax and it's a game changer.
Only pearl shield I've ever seen him drop. Probably killed him nearly 1000 times over the years.
Yeah omega's good but it's probably my least favourite out of the 3. I'm a Rose man myself
Didn’t realize this vid just dropped and it’s a newer channel, keep it up man the vid turned out good
Thanks mate! Big ups to you
Borderlands 3 had converted some of the pearls into legendary weapons, and in Borderlands some weapons that were OP in BL2 were nerfed abit so other legends can get more attention. Technically they were kinda in the pre sequel, just called Glitch weapons instead.
Glitch weapons are their own thing and aren't comparable to pearls. Glitch rarity weapons are purples with higher stats and special effects not unique guns.
I did cover how pearls got turned into legendarys in bl3. I want pearls to be there as an endgame reward for sinking your time into it rather then a gun you can easily farm then it not even be as good as a legendary
The Flush Bekah and Casual Carnage are the only pearls I use.
Both are heaps fun!
No Butcher? 🤨
i kinda miss grinding for really rare weapons the last game i played was bl3 and it seemed like all the legendary's where super easy to get
Bl3 desperately needed pearls to flesh out it's endgame but whatever way gearbox wanted to put them in apparently would've used too much memory ruling out cross-play forever. No idea how.... but that's what Randy said
This is what killed bl3 for me. Didn’t have that classic feeling of relief and reward you get from getting the legendary or pearl you wanted like in the first two mainline games.
Community: If you add pearls atleast make them USEABLE!
Gearbox: Just gives up and doesn't add them at all
Oh Randall Pitchfork.. how far have you fallen indeed.
Bro’s funny, informative, and has a goofy laugh. Subbed.
I've played BL2 for maybe about 1000 hours and I've only seen 3 pearls. They were all storms...
Lmaaooooo. If you really wanna see all the other pearls best way to farm them is from Uranus in the lilith dlc
Very entertaining, was almost late getting ready for work watching this lol
Apriciate that, soz for work lol
I played TPS today, for the first time in months, and creepy spywaretube recommended you to me again
Mwahahahaa Google has finally given me the TPS MONOPOLY!! NOW I CAN- play more tos then anyone else...
orginaly pearl wepons were a bug
Yeah originally some really powerful weapons showd up as white and were on top of the inventory until pearls were added in the knoxx dlc
"Pearls in B3 would've meant cutting an entire weapon manufacturer or class of weapon"
Oh you mean like how you cut said manufacturers into only certain weapons that they used to make in previous games? (Like hyperion pistols just not being a thing anymore)
Oh Randy....
Yep very true. Apparently it was because of c9nsole memory constraints
Got the sawbar once. Wish i could again.
honestly the easiest way to make pearls great is to have 2 rarities for endgame
pearls are the 0.01% dropchance worlddrops that are the best weapons of the bl franchise without nerfs, since there isnt a dedicated way to farm 1 they can be absurdly powerful
and
seraphs as raidboss rexclusives / reaidboss vendor
for special gear like dual element weapons, shields, or reserved for broken abilities like the redestributors effect where you connect enemies and deal dmg to them
with this you could so easily get ppl to farm 2 seperate things in endgame and be rewarded for it
Like i said in the video, I think pearls deserve to have a really low drop chance from the endgame content. Mainly so it gives you a reason to want to play the endgame. BL3 fails this because all the Takedown gear while good when it first came out got so power crept and nerfed that there is actually no reason to want to do them besides test a build.
@@Cashew1405 y but look bl3 is to me at least
a complete failure
i have no wish to replay it, the story, endgame, balancing it all is bad
so. i feel we should also change the weapon parts system back
the one in bl3 is terrible
and my argument is
the hellwalker
this gun has ONE version of itself
ONE
the literal only thing changing aside lvl is the annointment
you cannot fk up the hellwalker cuz there is ONE
hybrid weapons should return
and therefore they need to put the legendary prefix on other parts again + opening up the system for weapon generation
@@Cashew1405 and im currently having a bit of fun with bl1
i do think we should return to bl1 more
like for example no op lvls n shit
instead enemies legit just get legendary peal gear endgame at random and drop that then
including shields and artifacts
IMAGINE how replayable that would be
The ONLY Pearlescent I have yet to get is the Invader Pistol.
I WISH I cpuld get a native nemesis drop lol. Couldn't even imagine getting the hybrid!
@@Cashew1405 I have not "legitly" got the Tsunami smg in BL1 yet. Forget me trying to get the famous and extremely good Invader Nemesis hybrid. lol
Great video man! Was thoroughly entertained all 15 minutes
That's exactly what we like to hear!
I don't understand how changing a couple guns to have a different color item card was too much for bl3. You already have a boat full of legendaries, and all you gotta do is change those to light blue
Apparently something to do with Memory contains on low gen consoles but... as I said in the video I don't see it
Great video mate, keep it up.
Cheers!
Fav pearl in BL1 has gotta be the Serpens and in BL2 I’ll go with Sawbar
Serpens is so fun aye
Great video man! You earned a sub 👍🏼
Pearls and those rainbow ones should come back
Effervescent's were cool but they work best as their own thing tied down to they're own dlc. I am SO DOWN tho for new rarities like how glitch rarity was introduced in TPS
I actually want pearls to be fairly common drops, just make the thing thay drops them the most difficult fight in the game. Maybe something like the Maliwan Takedown having a 10% chance to drop them or something. I'm much more of a fan of working hard to get something good than RNG giving it to me.
I see what your saying but I think pearls shouldn't be easy to get in any way. I did make a video that covered what I wanted them to be (bl4 pitch).
If pearls are done right, then every single one of them would be completely broken and could destroy almost anything in the game. Them being super rare makes it so that the game rewards you for putting your hours in and you can beat whatever the game throws at you. An example I like to use is Super Sonic in Sonic 2. Your first few times playing through that game you won't be good enough at it to unlock super sonic but after you've played the game a ton you can and will unlock them earlier and earlier each playthrough just letting you zoom through the game
Amazing video, love the energy and the love for the game, please keep it up 🎉
Can do, mate!
What ruined every gun in Bl2 was the ultimate vault hunter mode
I don't entirely agree. It needed better balancing for sure but OP levels killed non meta guns more then UVHM itself. But I will always retain the opinion that required slag to do dmg is dumb and should not ever return.
@@Cashew1405Yes, thank you! Especially with the new supposed glitch that doubles certain raid bosses health pools. That Stalker boss is so godamned brutal
You're wrong. Also, UVHM is why BL2 is still alive.
Dude their drop rates are just so rare they don’t drop in bl3!
Oh your totality right!
They never fell my man bad management got them kicked, it was heartbreaking.
They gotta return surely!
I only ever got a avenger the disappointment was legendary as i was looking for a Aries
Yeah avenger was my 2nd ever drop in bl1. Was super exited at the time since I was Roland and ARs work amazing on Roland but it just kinda sucks lol
Did you not mention the atlas chimera from bl1???
Chimera's a legendary wym? Maybe for killing craw??
@@Cashew1405 lmao bro I was trippin... i just checked my account cuz I knew I still had it... the prefix was "Pearl" chimera so my brain glitched for a sec haha
@@D-Cozy Did you confuse it with the Aries revolver?
@@mehman8798 no the pre fix on the chimera I have is Pearl so I just had a brain fart...
Pearls? I think you mean money or memes. The Sawbar is the only Pearl I would run occasionally. Definitely not meta, but oh well
Oh, and the Butcher too. The Interfacer seems way more powerful even when running Sal
Money or memes is a great way to put it haha
weird, I played the wonderlands redux mod and was done with it very, very quickly. Got almost all the pearls really quickly, guess I got lucky? Also incredible vid. Funny, good length and overall enjoyable even though I knew all of this stuff. New sub
Thanks for the sub!
Idk what to tell you. I have killed that pot on Chaos 10 so many times bahaha. Once did an entire stream just farming them and didn't see that pearl
@@Cashew1405 I am pretty sure the drops are low. I will say the pot was the longest run for me, all others were around literally either 5 to 10 mins of farming. Fun mod, need to go back now contraband weapons were added. Also need to give 3s redux mod a go myself. Cant wait to see more content from you dude, gl in growing the channel.
Honestly the only thing that makes 90% of the bl2 pearls bad is just low damage.
Facts, the first time I saw the bearcat's grenade burst I thought it was so cool but then you shoot an enemy with it and their health bar doesn't even move
I still remember when level 50 was max😢
T'was a simpler time lol
Thanks for the raid the other night lol
No worries mate! Tha ks for checking out the vids!
I am really missing the pearls from BL1 :(
Awesome video, if they don’t return in bl4. Gearbox is fkin losin it
Facts man!
Also I'm trippin' right now cause I litterlly JUST watched one of your vids haha
Let me explain to you how hard it is to get a pearl. Ive played borderlands 1 and 2 for a combined 8000 hours. Long enough to get every character maxed out with perfect gear. Not god rolled but perfect. Ive killed Crawmerax enough times to max out every proficiency of every sub class on every character with every weapon class. Ive beaten digi stuck peak over 1000 times. Other than the guarantied drop at the end of the peak i have seen a legit pearl a total of.... Zero times. 0 . That being said i did get a god roll dupa once. That was a sick day.
Gravity Rush jumpscare?
If that's the case they could have removed COV weapons, they sucks.... hard
Idk... COV pistols always come in clutch in arms race.
good vid!
tl;dr they're either broken or redundant, take your pick but you can't have "conducive to a healthy and varied endgame" or "have a valid reason to exist outside of ooh shiny".
The problem with Pearls is that they're not designed to work in Borderlands' progression and their inclusion places them at an awkward crossroad between overpowered and redundant. Borderlands' loot progression isn't inherently linear, there are different options within the highest loot tier(s) and ideally all options should be equally usable with the right build, and this is where Pearlescents, and by extension Seraphs and Effervescents, find themselves at odds with the game's progression. Pearlescents, being a rarity above Legendary, need to be more powerful to reflect the effort required to get them, however that makes them centralising to the endgame as you would be stupid not to use them over anything else if they're more powerful; alternatively, pearlescents are made to be comparable to legendaries, this makes them redundant as they might as well just be legendaries if all you're doing is making legendary items but the name is cyan or pink or rainbow coloured instead.
This is where Gearbox made a solid choice in trimming the fat off the Loot Tier system in Borderlands 3, in theory at least. By removing rarities above legendary they could instead make new items stay within the power scale of what's expected from legendary loot and focus on making items that open up new build possibilities rather than make existing build possibilities redundant or bloating out the loot system.
Thanks for taking the time to write all that.
I think that when pearls are rare enough they ARE the endgame. A reward at the end of the game for sinking hours and hours into it. I don't think you should look at pearls as needing to be balanced. The point of them is to be broken and be able to demolish everything in the game with it.
I cut this part out of the vid but I compared it to super sonic in the old genesis games if you ever played those. If you were good enough at the game and sunk enough time into it and learned all the routs and whatnot you would unlock super sonic early and blast through the rest of the game. Pearls should be the same I think
@Cashew1405 Valid point, especially if you consider that in every game some of the best in slot picks are uniques or purple rarity items, it doesn't matter if some items get more power than others as long as other items are still usable. I think it ultimately comes down to personal perspective on balance and that the Borderlands series is a primarily PvE game so it doesn't, maybe even shouldn't, be trying to achieve a level playing field in that regard
Definitely mate
Hoping they bring double anarchy back in bl4
Double Anarch but it's a pearl would slap
Not to mention rainbow rarity in bl2 being better than pearls....
Depends which ones but all in all your kind of right
I just never understood the appeal of grinding for loot post-game. You grind bosses/chests so you can get better loot to... what? Kill bosses better? So you get better loot to kill bosses, to get better loot to kill bosses, to get better loot to kill bosses, for infinity. If you've already beaten the bosses once, then how is it any more satisfying a second time when they only get easier and easier the better the loot you get? Sorry, I just never understood the appeal of the grindy endgame. Pearlescents don't really matter if you can't really earn them until you've completed all the challenges.
It all works in moderation. Pearls are a great endgame activity since they're rare and are the best in the game. Yes your grinding boss's just to fight them again but if the endgame is big enough and there's lots to do, that's not a problem.
In bl2 we'll kill the same raid boss' over and over and in bl3 we'll do the Maliwan Takedown over and over because it's fun. The loot from both aren't actually that great, not at endgame atleast.
Pearls would be a reason to DO the endgame and a good reward to use against the games hardest challenges. I do agree with you though, Pearls should never be mandatory.
in the enhanced edition on ps4 i killed crawm and got an anarchy nemesis i cant find any info online and ive tried remaking it in willow tree for my pc but i cant figure it out it has 247x3 damage 5.5 fire rate with +44% fire rate on my mord it has nearly infinite ammo and like 20 fire rate
Ahh what? Never heard of an Anarchy Nemesis. Are you sure you didn't get the Invadier hybrid? To test aim and shoot once. If it shoots the while mag that's the hybrid!
& the bl 1 hd added 10 new pearl guns
No those were legendaries lol. But they might as well have been pearls since they are all way too broken for how easy they are to get
13:50 didn’t really like the bl3 sand hawk. Hated it actually. Like sure it did a lot of damage. But compared to the one in bl2… it’s kinda shit. Is it a good gun? Yes. Just saying by comparison it’s crap. Cause the changed it from an smg to a sniper. The sand hawk from bl2 had more ammo in the clip, plus reserve ammo. Bl3 only kept the power of it
I agree that they shouldn't of changed it to a sniper for bl3. Mainly for the reason that automatic snipers feel awful to use in bl3.
The gun itself is really good, especially on a clone Zane build where your not the one shooting it lmao
Hey cashew why don’t you cover the on going drama borderlands creator drama?
I'm a small lil tiny guy, people shouldn't care about what I think about it.
But the big reason I won't cover it is because I don't want to cap my growth by indirectly accusing and going after creators.
Found you cause of mak
Love to hear it! Mak's the goat
there was no rise, there was only a downfall.
and factoring in they only need around 400 chests on average, you can get quite a bit of them. im closing in on 60 legit farmed pearls (20+ pre GOTYEE)
what are you talking about? iron clan had THE highest defense in the game, on lilith it reaches heights were her procs make it practically permanent.
Then you, are really lucky to have gotten that many. There was a rise, bl1 the pearls were good and the fall was bl2 and beyond since the pearls were bad and then never returned
@@Cashew1405 i call the lootlemon rates BS. something completely doesnt add up. my experience is around 800 lance chests at most, which are around 40 armory runs per pearl. pretty consistent. even if i use the 0.011% per weapon, i get 173 armory runs per pearlescent or 478 runs if i use per chest, far higher than most numbers ive seen or experienced myself. (average of 2,75 weapons per lance chest and 19 repeatably/fast lance chests per armory glitch, you technically can get 22 per nade jump run, but in my testing, the overall CPM is lower if you go for the 3 leftover chests (bc they are further away and thus less efficient).
also, craw is FAR, FAR slower to get pearls.
i would say at minimum 8x, prolly more like 50x slower. yes, you got a higher pearl rate, yes you can farm him a handful of times, but for me, the hard limit is 7 runs and the safe limit is 3-4 runs. the game never crashed at 3 kills in a row, but guaranteed crashed for me at the 8th kill. (too many weapons i guess). so to not crash, i had to exist and re drive back to his lair. then even with THE highest damage output in the game (perfect wrath or perfect anarchy lilith) he takes at least like 10-15 seconds to kill, no to mention all the ways you have to run and drive the elevator up.
TLDR: nade jump is the fastest, then standard drive to armory, then craw.
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is not Borderlands though
Yes it is. It has the same characters, gamplay menu's and manufacturers. It's litterally Cannon to the borderlands series with it taking place in between bl2 and bl3.
@@Cashew1405 Nope, not related other than just very few characters that have anything to do with borderlands
In Wonderlands website there is no mention of Borderlands.
As long as they are worth the insane rarity I'm down, they sucked in BL2
your laugh :)
Krusty the Clown soundin' ass
Hmm time for Halo
Hey Aaaaaannd
90% of them are shock lol. And shock is trash 90% of the time.
Shick was just my element of choice for the video. The only one that's locked to shock is the storm.
Shock is neutral on most enemies. So no, it's not.
nah its trash @@theobell2002
