Psycho Krieg - World Drops are items that drop from any suitable Loot Source, within the Psycho Krieg DLC, in addition to their dedicated sources.
There are 10 weapons, 4 Shields and 4 Class Mods in the Psycho Krieg - World Drop pool, so for farming a specific weapon it's best to seek out its dedicated Source.
If you still want to test your luck, you should equip a Shlooter Artifact or All-in Shield to increase your Legendary World Drop Chances.

Suitable Loot Sources within the DLC:

  • All Enemies:

  • All kinds of Chests
