Arms Race - World Drops are items that drop from any of the following sources, within the Designer's Cut DLC and can be extracted with the help of the Arms Race Gear Extractor.
There are 12 weapons, 4 Shields, 1 grenade, 4 Class Mods, and 3 Artifacts in the Arms Race - World Drop pool.
For farming a specific weapon it's best to seek out its dedicated Loot Room, but some of the general sources are still worth a visit.
Additionally, any of the weapons can appear in the Diamond Loot Room.

These are the chances to getting any of the 24 items in the Loot Pool:

  • Rival Bandit Revenant (x3): 25% - 37.5%
  • Cofferant or Chubby Skagg: 30%
  • Badass Enemies: 3% - 4.5%
