Back before the game was patched, it was more common on console. If I am recalling correctly, it took me an average of 300ish runs. The Pre Sequel was an average of 70ish runs before the first patch on console. Those numbers are just based on memory and has no basis in fact.
@Joltzdude139 youll be happy to know my ex girlfriend found a SHAM IN A VENDOR ON OUR FIRST PLAYTHROUGH OF THE COMMANDER LILITH DLC... we put it on reddit at the time and people were NOT HAPPY 😂
If this was BL3, Joltz would've gotten a legendary item in a vending machine within 30 minutes. Also, I hope that Sniper Salvador didn't join Dahl Maya and Bandit Gaige in the void.
In my over 400 hours of BL2 I think I saw a legendary in a vendor once and was baffled that it was even possible. Bl3 released and I found one in like the 10th vendor I checked. Thought I was extremely lucky, but before I was level 30 I had already found like 10 more legendaries in vendors alone. Bl3 really took the rarity out of legendaries and they didn't even add in pearls or the rainbow rarity to still give you something rarer to freak out over from time to time.
despite the flashing of saving and quiting and loading and opening and closing vendors being arguably more prevalent lol like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound
My first ever legendary was a shock pitchfork from a vendor! Gun vendor machine in Sanctuary right outside of the crimson lance HQ. I’m sure if i logged back into that xbox 360 save it would still be sitting in the vault haha
One of the worst things that I have ever had happen to me in BL2 is when I was planning on doing a vladof only run. In the fight for sanctuary DLC vendor there was a lyuda...but I didn't have enough money to afford it.😞 It was the only legendary weapon I've ever seen in a vendor.
9/26/24 there was a Conference Call in Sanctuary. He was lvl 78 and I was 80 so it made the gun lvl 78 and it cost $60M. I let him buy it, it was still rock solid though. He also got a Pearl from a random Skag like 30 minutes before that in the same session in Aris Nexus. It was just the 2 of us in the session. It was a pistol that had mad ricochet effects.
My first vendor legendary was also a nasty surprise in snowman dlc, and in that same map instance I got ANOTHER nasty surprise from the red chest on the map
I love these videos because they remind me of my very first legendary from my first run of BL1 with my friend, where I got a bloody unforgiven masher from a dumpster.
I've always wondered about their odds. In over 1k hours play time, I've only ever gotten one legendary. It was a Salvador class mod from assault on dragon keep dlc. Before that, I always assumed legendary items didn't come from vendors. Thanks for putting in the research.
When BL2 first came out I played the vanilla version for years with no patches. The 1st legendary I ever found was in the Caustic Caverns and it was a legendary Siren Class mod! It was the ONLY legendary I’d stumbled across at the time so I thought they only came from vendors. Lol. How naive I was. People truly don’t understand the benefit of the internet sometimes. Lol. I had NONE when I first started playing BL2 so you all could imagine my surprise when I saw you could farm legendary weapons, shields and class mods! ROFL!
Im always happy that people like Joltz exist that love games so much they make the craziest fun compilations for us to see! Im always so hype about BL2 until i boot it and realize I actually have to play ☠️
Dude Joltz! I remember doing an ultimate Sal playthrough and upon entering Opportunity for the first time, I found an Unkempt Harold in the weapon vending machine at Level 22. I was so shocked as it was my first time getting a legendary in BL2 from a vending machine! Loving the effort!
The one time I found a legendary in a vendor (in BL2), was an ultimate Maya run while in TVHM, and it was a Bee Shield with decent parts if I remember correctly, (I have it in my storage thing I'll have to check it again.) It was in the vendor in Dahl Abandon right outside the Backburner.
Me and my brother randomly found a ZX-1 in a vendor during our co-op pre sequel playthrough, which we didn't do before because of vertical split screen but we found a way to make it horizontal
These world drop videos remind me of a playthrough my brother and I were doing where we found a world drop cradle. We have a rule that if a legendary drops someone has to use it. I died a lot until I could replace it with something else
I got a W.T.F in a vending machine once. The dopamine rush of seeing a legendary was massive, but the dissappointment of getting a W.T.F was even greater
I remember the first time i got a legendary from a vendor. I was farming the same vendor you were farming and it just so happened to be a dp unkempt harold with a matching grip. I was so freaking happy
never will forget i was doing my first true vault hunter play through and i found a volcano in the gun vendor machine where u meet hammerlock for the first time
Not sure it's possible, but getting a legendary pistol out of a cardboard box or cooler would be insane. Also on the topic of hyperion e-tech pistols, I managed to get a non-elemental e-tech hyperion pistol with the diamond prefix from butt stalion during a run years ago and haven't seen another since. Unsure how rare they are but thought it would be cool to share. Love your videos bro, keep up the good work!
Dunno if this is unpopular or not, but presequel handles rare items in machines way better then BL2. Most of the time if you do find a legendary, you cant even afford it, which is better then going like 500 hours here in BL2 without seeing one at all
After 325h of playing borderlands 2 i was a 100% sure it was just a rumor, i have checked every vendor since the start and still not seen a single one (note: its not like i have farmed it, just any time i run by a vendor even if im farming i always check out of habit)
For those who are wondering, wonderlands has a high chance of legendaries in the vendor at The Chaos Trials, I’ve seen 3 in a row, Leg ward, Leg sword and Leg armour
I remember on my most recent playthrough, I was farming the vending machine in the sanctuary dlc and got a hammer buster. It wasn't very good, but it was cool to start the game off with
I didn't know just how rare this actually was, I don't play bl2 very often(probably 2 to 3 hundred total hours across platforms) and got a quasar out of a grenade vendor in the Tiny Tina dlc.
I've got a level 20 shock resistant bee that I pass to all my characters. I got it at Ellie's in the dust. The odds of that that shield with a maliwan part at level 20 in a vendor must be ridiculous.
I saw a Legendary Beserker and a Legendary Hunter in the med vendor at the fast travel across from Doc Mercy when I was farming a decent Infinity for every element. Couldn't have been more than 300 vendor checks. Seems a lot crazier after watching this video.
I got a Fabled Tortoise in the Friendship Gulag med vendor in maybe 2015, a year or 2 after I started playing. I have yet to see another legendary in a BL2 vendor outside of Torgue DLC.
I found a legendary grenade in an ammo machine once, bought it, and the game crashed about 10 seconds later, and when I went back into the game I didn't have it anymore. I think it was a rolling thunder if I remember correctly.
Speaking of the Sham in the intro, I lucked up and got a 94 sham after 38 runs or so on TVHM, don't even use it after all that. I'm clueless when it comes to gear but wanted to jump on that trend!
Ive found a few, but usually its during a normal/tvhm run and I can't afford whatever it is. Back in vanilla level 50 on 360, my brother and his friend found a legendary soldier in Sanctuary, and it was literally their only legendary because they didnt farm.
I remember getting an op10 perfect roll striker in the vendor in three horns divide. Was in my buddies server level boosting a low level character. Was so mad because he was afk and I didn’t have anywhere near enough money
Hey Joltz! I just wanted to comment because I'm not sure if you knew, but the chance in The Pre-Sequel to find a vendor legendary seems a lot higher. I did a bunch of playthroughs of TPS last year and found a ton of vendor legendaries, while I maybe found one or two in my entirety of playing BL2. Just wanted to share! EDIT I just got to the part in the video you mentioned that LOL. Oh well, love your videos man! Have a great day!
My very first playthrough of bl2 back on ps3 found a flakker in vending machine right after fighting the loader bots at Overlook. Was first time seeing the legendary rarity and I couldn’t afford it..
screw the legendaries, I'm surprised borderlands is optimized so much that it can handle such fast and almost ceaseless loading, saving, opening, and closing vendors. that's genuinely wild!
My first legendary was a level 8 (9?) Impaler from the Dr. Zed vendor inside sanctuary. I think I had the PythonSDK library installed but I had no mods that tampered with drop rates (bl2fix or anything), but there is a possibility that some mod was messing things up.
I kinda think about it this way… I’ve got 2k hours in the game and can remember only ever seeing one legendary anytime I’ve opened them. Never farmed specifically however
What a nice find in the vendor
What world drop location are we farming next?
Bullymong piles?

In all my time playing Borderlands 2 I've NEVER seen a legendary in a vendor. I commend your commitment to the farm!
I've seen a few randomly in playthroughs, but purposefully trying to farm one is pretty rare

In all 1100 hours of me playing I’ve found 2 and they were both a quasar
shredifier and 4 cradles😭😭😭
Borderlands 2 players don't bring up how many hours you have in the game at every opportunity challenge: impossible
I can remember seeing 3 in over 1600 hours, one was a fire bee i think, one was an impaler, and the third was some other shield i've forgotten
@@Slayyyaphine How did you know I finished the game in every difficulty with every character and that I have 2000+ hours?!?
Joltz taking off his shield is proof he’s so chill like that
taking ur shield of to cater to those who may be epileptic is such an amazing and wholesome thing
joltz is a good dude and is awesome
despite the flashing of saving and quiting and loading and opening and closing vendors being arguably more prevalent lol like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound
@@spimbles right but thats not something he can control
its appreciated, but he shouldve edited it out of the video as well, or added some warning in the beginning
@@romancandlefan1994 Maybe just don't watch if you're so sensitive.
I can only recall getting a legendary in a vendor once. It was the gun Joltz won't name, and I got it farming Boll.
Speaking of boll, I actually got a corrosive fastball from Mobley.

I actually got a volcano from the Marcus mercanary shop gun vendor a few days ago! Great videos as always :)

I found a few legendaries in the vending machines on the pre-sequel add Concordia but man they are expensive!
The vending machines in the Pre Sequel have much fairer chances than Bl2, but they're overpriced to hell.
I remember my first legendary vendor; It was a 0 fuse Quasar on Frostburn Canyon while farming the level 13 red chest. It was WILD
I think the Marcus Sacrifice shrine would be an interesting one, if it’s possible.

On my very first playthrough, I found my first legendary class mod in that exact shield vendor. To this day I’ve never seen another legendary for sale
I remember getting a Legendary Berserker during my TVHM playthrough on my Ultimate Axton. It was a nice find. I even have a screenshot of it.
Dude Joltz! I remember doing an ultimate Sal playthrough and upon entering Opportunity for the first time, I found an Unkempt Harold in the weapon vending machine at Level 22. I was so shocked as it was my first time getting a legendary in BL2 from a vending machine! Loving the effort!

I think joltz has officially gone insane from all this farming from dumpsters and lockers and stuff
I remember on my most recent playthrough, I was farming the vending machine in the sanctuary dlc and got a hammer buster.
It wasn't very good, but it was cool to start the game off with
I didn't know just how rare this actually was, I don't play bl2 very often(probably 2 to 3 hundred total hours across platforms) and got a quasar out of a grenade vendor in the Tiny Tina dlc.
Watching this before sleep, perhaps for good luck, always love your vids Joltz, can't wait for more!!
It is so rare, in 17 days of a legend only series I have only gotten 1 legendary from vendors
I haven’t played much of borderlands 2 over the past few years but I actually got my first vendor legendary farming for an ogre last time I played
Farming the slot machines in either base game or tina dlc for legendaries would be a fun watch
if this was bl3 joltz would be farming a vendor for an anointment to make a legendary worth using.
if you're ever going to repeat this, you should change languages every thousand checks or so, Marcus' voice stays fresh that way :P
me and my buddy found a participle conference call in the slaughter shaft vendor
3,000 hours, seen 1 legendary in a vendor. It's pretty sad that even at OP10, vendors are still mostly just green crap.
OH CRAAP, I called it right! I went: bonus package, wait-no: nasty surprise
PLot twist: The other two vendors at the end both had legendaries.
I got a bee shield in vendor and some grenades, also got a legendary from a bully mong pile once lol
i found a legendary gunzerker in the vendor right before bunker fight. it sure helped me out
I've got a level 20 shock resistant bee that I pass to all my characters. I got it at Ellie's in the dust. The odds of that that shield with a maliwan part at level 20 in a vendor must be ridiculous.
I was playing a couple months ago and found a Sham in a vendor in the Dust. Yeah I was pretty shocked to see it.

i once found a level 7 or 9 (I can't recall) conference call with a newly created Maya in the map where savage lee is located
I found a legendary grenade in an ammo machine once, bought it, and the game crashed about 10 seconds later, and when I went back into the game I didn't have it anymore. I think it was a rolling thunder if I remember correctly.
i recall wonderlands vendors being just as kooky as bl3s

I once found a legendary krieg class mod in a vendor. Probably my only legendary from a vendor too
Honestly I didn't even know this was possible. I swear I saw something when this game came out about they dont spawn in the vendors.
kinda sad we didn't get a breakdown of the odds. I appreciate the dedication to farming
the farm the Lucrative Opportunity was made for
Didn't even realize they were tare tbh. I usually see 1 or 2 in a playthrough from the gun vendor.
Odds are worse than opening a knife in cs2
Ive found a few, but usually its during a normal/tvhm run and I can't afford whatever it is. Back in vanilla level 50 on 360, my brother and his friend found a legendary soldier in Sanctuary, and it was literally their only legendary because they didnt farm.
Remember farming perfect Maggie in bl3 for 3 hours giving up and doing maliwan takedown and the second gun vender had my perfect Maggie

I found a legendary in a vendor, and it costed exactly the number in my purse, thats gotta be super rare
I love your vids please keep making them

Can't wait for Bloated enemies farming
I've been playing bl2 since I am like 8 years old, now I'm 21 and I only saw one legendary in a vendor, a black hole in zedds clinic
First and only legendary I ever got from a vendor in BL2 was a longbow Quasar with a decent detonation time. All I said was “oh.”
across thousands of others I’ve only ever gotten 2 legendary in vendors
1 was a fastball
The other was a Logan’s gun
you got the same grenade from a vendor in the co-op allegiance playthrough!!!
I remember how i was walking to the bunker fight and then i decided to buy some ammo just to see rubberized storm front waiting for me😢
i don't even recall if i ever seen a legendary or purple from vendor, they're so insignificant to me. i only there for the ammo and selling stuff😂
I always check the Three Horns vendors when farming Fastball/Harold. Last one I found was a Fastball lol
After 1000+ hours i got my first legendary from a vendor like five hours ago. Funny timing
It's funny, I started a krieg playthrough recently and got a kerblaster on the gun vendor next to hammerlocks 😂
I’ve played for 10 YEARS and just found my first legendary in a vendor yesterday (I didn’t even know it was a thing in bl2) It was a fastball😃
I wanna see a lotto machine legendary farm next, that would be sweet!
