World Drop (BL2)

Base Game - World Drop

Borderlands 2 World Drops are items that drop from any suitable Loot Source in addition to their dedicated sources.
There are 67 unique items in the World Drop pool, so for farming 1 of the 10 shields it's best to seek out its dedicated Loot Source.
If you still want to test your luck, you should equip a Vault Hunter's Relic to indirectly increase your chance of a World Drop Legendary.

Suitable Loot Sources:

Best Boss Farms: Uranus, Cassius Leclemaine, Haderax
Best Chest Farm: Loot-Train after killing Tinder Snowflake
All Enemies:
Bosses, Badass Enemies, Generic Enemies, …
All kinds of Chests:
Red Chests, lockers, garbage containers, cardboard boxes, garbage/... piles
