Quest Reward (BL2)

Quest Reward

Borderlands 2 Quest Rewards can be farmed by Read-Only farming [PC-Only].

How to Read-Only farm:

Right before handing in the Quest, save the game by toggling your Badass Rank on & off.
Then go your computer's file explorer.
Path: ...\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 2\WillowGame\SaveData
Right-Click the most recent .sav File and select properties.
Check the Read-only box at the bottom.
Now you can hand in the quest.
Return to the Main Menu to reset the Quest Reward.

⭯ Repeat this until you have your desired weapon.
While farming you can store items in Claptrap's Secret Stash.
Items in the Stash are on a different SaveFile and are thus not overwritten.
