BOOM another starter guide! Planning to run a lot more Proving Grounds over the weekend so I can snag all of the optional objectives!!! Has anyone done Mayhem 3 Proving Grounds in less than 5 minutes? Where my OP badass Vault Hunters at?
They aren't worth it for loot they either need to make proving ground unique legendaries or make them have a higher loot drop/higher quality because even if your super pro like 4-5 mins for a chest vs killing a boss about 15-20 times in that time is much better. Even circle or slaughter is better for loot!!! Gearbox be smart don't nerf loot drops buff other forms of loot farming it will give your game a longer life span and people won't be bored as fast.
One of the slaughter house things has two strong enemies that are kinda like raids. All I heard is that they're super strong and the 5 sec boss killing techniques don't work as good.
The fact of the matter is that the loot you get from these in the end is complete garbage, and the exp per hour is also total garbage. Much better off killing grave ward.
Yeah. That seems to be the case for everything else too. I like the challenge here, same as the circle of slaughter. But there is no point to do any of it since you get basically no loot at all.
rangermaan2 not doing the Circle of Slaughter... Mainly because of most people playing aren’t skilled enough to do it. But in my opinion offline farming in the first Circle of Slaughter is best, today I had 100+ oranges everywhere. If you are looking for a specific variant of something this is where to go.
@@MrTomkat030 i mean yeah farming legendaries is not a problem if i want to play solo. But playing with friends and actually having fun, while still getting good loot at the same time is kind of impossible atm.
I have done about 15+ runs on different trials on mh3, and gods of rng hate me. All i got is ONE legendary from the chest at the end, so its about 1 leg/2 hours
for anyone hoping to get mountains of legendaries out of this. You're not going to get anything and are wasting your time. If you want some legendaries, do circle of slaughter.
@@nightshade7240 offline maybe, but online, bosses are now pretty lackluster. Slaughter shaft definitely has a high turnout for the time spent in there.
The reward for these is a joke, go through the entire horde mode and get three blue weapons and a green. I really don't know why they thought this should be the end game over having the game launch with some sort of raid boss.
This a very good concept but here are some things I think should be added to this 1: Unique Loot: each trial should give u a chance to get unique loot that u can only get from the final boss fight, and for each optional objective should give u an extra chance too get that bosses loot 2: Final Boss Should be Difficult. I feel like the final boss should be harder than normal with at least 3-4 different stages and more health this would make the "Proving" ground "Prove your strength" haha see what I did there? 3: At Least 2-3 chests at the end cause one chest is kinda doodoo ik your not playing proving grounds for loot but I feel like you should be rewarded based on how good you do in the proving grounds
@@nightshade7240 My point was nobody plays proving grounds for loot. I said that cause someone would say " iF yOu wAnT lOot tHeN fArM bOssEs" if I don't put that it would be nice to earn some unique rewards from a challenging trail but sadly the proving grounds are none of those
@@nightshade7240 He's saying that we SHOULD be getting good loot from Proving Grounds, but we don't. That's why people aren't playing it... Among other things.
Amazing end game idea honestly hope they keep balancing so snipers dont be so... restrictive average players should be able to at least try to use them
@@SubBubz I mean... complex root and sandhawk don't work like snipers, they don't really count as snipers by design (which was the issue in question) but I got you lol
In the end we are shooting bullet sponges over and over without any change to the game so basically they make the games so you guys can make videos to show yourself shooting endless waves of bullet sponges.
If that ridiculous legendary you mentioned was that Shocking AAA, then that is a huge understatement! I got that thing on my first playthrough as a world drop at level 18 and it carried me through the rest of the game. I argue that the AAA and the Krakatoa are two of the best legendaries in the game.
YaBoi Yaz I mean, that’s not really the point of these? Tearing through them at level 50 without mayhem on for loot isn’t the goal. It’s a challenge, and if you’re tearing through it put on mayhem 2 and see if you can optimize your kit to tear through it again. You farm bosses for legendaries to be able to best this, not the other way around.
@@TheHeadincharge no... I tear through these on mayhem 3 in under 5 minutes with Moze. It's not hard unless there's a crazy modifier that counters my build. The endgame is just kinda shallow. I'm hoping for DLC to turn this issue around because right now there isn't much incentive to keep playing since they keep nerfing characters abilities and ignoring important endgame issues and bug fixes.
@@WillYazdani Yeah, it's the same with a solid Amara build as well. I've been through all the proving grounds and they are all pretty much the same. The only variations are the enemy types for some, and then it's just a matter of switching up weapons a tiny bit. Other than slaughter shaft, end game is a tad underwhelming.
The problem is that the content is too easy.. circle of slaughter and proving grounds arent "dangerous" especially on a Moze build. They need propper raids with real challenging content that require teamwork.. Destiny.. they need destiny mechanics .... lol
You get awful loot on TVHM. I cant run it solo with zane on mayhem 3 (yet? Ever? Its zane.) But I do wish there was a dedicated loot pool and more of a reason to take on the challenge
How do you do mayhem 3 and tvhm? Really im trying to get higher score weapons and cant figure it out. Been doing tvhm and mayhem 3 seperatly but all drops are around 516-540 but a random player dropped a bunch of 590-600 legendaries. How do i get more of those?
@@flavourbusiness3870 Not trying to be a dick, but that 2nd one is kinda on you. It is kinda like the old saying "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice.........". It sucks that it happened because it happened to me once as well, but you probably shouldn't have stored anything in the bank after the first time.
So just made it to lvl 50 before starting TVHM and wanted to play through TVHM with mayhem mode on but turns out i cant do it. The mayhem pillars isn't in sanctuary. xbox one
This is a weird situation that Gearbox still hasn't addressed. I was able to play Mayhem on TVHM right when I got to Sanctuary. Some people can, some people can't. Definitely bugged :(
@@tanr953 that's dumb I've already beat the story once going through it again on tvhm is to easy with the gear I have. So I gotta waste my time killing all the bosses again in the story just to then go back after just to have the higher drop rates. I might as well stay on normal made that I've already beat and turn the mayhem mode on on it which I have that's why I'm lvl 50 already and have 100 legendaries.
Tamas is right - it's the Shocking AA. It has only 516 item score at level 50 but the shock damage is INSANE. I was also running a Shock build in most of this footage.
Is it me or the drops from chests are very underwhelming in this game? I have around 30 hours of gameplay, probably half of that is on mayhem 3 and I found around 4 legendaries from chests putting aside Lilith's red chest which is guaranteed to yield legendaries.
I think you just have the worst rng possible. I've gotten double Legendaries from red chests on mayhem 1. On mayhem 2 I had 2 chests give back to back Legendaries.
I can see that, if you save lyuda for just the annointed and badasses. Even with 6 points in Leave No Trace (+3 relic) I burn through lyuda ammo in a minute if I'm not careful.
Not different loot than you would get otherwise. It's a pathetic hold over for end game. Some of us were shaking our heads on day 3 or 4 already shit stomping proving grounds on mayhem 3/tvhm with having picked through all the legendaries already. It's not even like its extra fun or hard.
It's a pity all the trials have ass loot. Done them all, got more shit from killing regular stuff anywhere else. THE CHALLENGES ARE NOT TOUGH IN MAYHEM 3 TVHM.
chest at the end should have a really high chance of annoited all around legendaries, that would be great, and with one legendaries that is unique to each trial. Period. Right now, BL3 gear is a real mess. Only like 20 legendaries really worth finding them annoited or regular, depend if they can be annoited, for each class/build. I don't like where BL franchise is going right now. Sorry.
Woot woot! Lol i like how you went in depth over everything! Have yet to get the game but am looking forward to playing it. Carry on , as you were! Lock and load boys!
The proving grounds are so bad and boring I wish they just did some raid bosses and it’s def not difficult! The slaughter houses are heaps more fun and harder.
lol all proving grounds are shit i have more then 5DAYS played on my fl4k and i think i did them all 1 time get the % reward and never come back again its not fun no loot useless
BOOM another starter guide! Planning to run a lot more Proving Grounds over the weekend so I can snag all of the optional objectives!!! Has anyone done Mayhem 3 Proving Grounds in less than 5 minutes? Where my OP badass Vault Hunters at?
JV2017gameplay yes it doesn't give shit for loot
JV2017gameplay what pistol are you using? The electric burst one
Me Ow it's the shocking AAA
Yep, and the rewards are shit.
Kyle W thx

On mayhem 1 bandits tear me a new asshole compared to maliwan soldiers
They should of had a raid boss at the end of each one. They are to easy to be end game.
We are getting a free one soon enough. They probably didn't put one in the beginning because they want to try to balance it.
One of the slaughter house things has two strong enemies that are kinda like raids. All I heard is that they're super strong and the 5 sec boss killing techniques don't work as good.
Idk why the TH-camr liked your comment lol it totally contradicts everything he says about the trials. I agree with you though, too easy and bad loot.
“Should have”
@@Ari19904 You're going to find a comment from 2 years ago and correct the grammar? Lmfao get a life bro.
They should give unique items for these, but only if you complete all the challenges. It'll be worth it then .
Depends on the unique
The fact of the matter is that the loot you get from these in the end is complete garbage, and the exp per hour is also total garbage. Much better off killing grave ward.

I got 1 epic once when I 1st did it since then nothing I think you have to do all the challenges and kill boss with 25 minutes remaining
What was the electric pistol you were using.
I'm curious to what comes after the proving grounds... Will we meet the "Eridians" who made the Overseer's race? or has this been answered already?
New subscriber man keep up the vids. =p I beat most these guys using pet fl4k with cryo guns.

Went to go sign in just now to play and all of my legendaries have mysteriously disappeared from my bank!
Sadly, they're gone for good. Only thing you can do until they fix the bank is not store anything in it.

No one seems to be playing proving grounds. Go to match making and never find anyone on PS4.
because the rewards are poor. People are going to be farming easy content that spits out gear faster. slaughter shaft/graveward/chupa/traunt etc.
Steven Shear yea, makes sense. I have good gear and would like to run some proving grounds to test it out. Kinda sux.
Same... but this endgame stuff is a let down...farming graveward to get better loot to do exactly what?
Maybe give it a bit of time for people to first complete the game, then find the pedestals?
