World Drop (BL3 - DLC 6)

DLC 6 - World Drop

DLC 6 - World Drop

Director's Cut - World Drops are items that drop from any suitable Loot Source, within the Director's Cut Areas, in addition to their dedicated sources.
There are 4 weapons, 1 shield, 2 grenades, 8 class mods and 1 artifact in the Director's Cut - 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.
