Your inventory's about to light up bright orange. Gearbox Studios announced that it's permanently tripling the drop rate for legendary equipment in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, making it significantly easier to kit out your Vault Hunter with powerful gear.
If you already noticed some changes, that's because Gearbox has been experimenting with altered legendary drop rates for the last few weeks. Apparently a three-fold boost was the sweet spot between the old rates, which felt too stingy, and anything higher, which ended up lessening the rare joy of finding an orange nameplate.
