Base Game
General Farming Guidance

To collect and equip the Uncommon The Spy, you need to own the BL1 Base Game.

Most Base Game items in Borderlands 1 are only obtainable from world pool sources, while many non-legendary uniques have dedicated sources. Here’s your quick start guide:

Farming Preparations:

Identify the Best Source: The Sources below are generally ranked from best to worst. Make sure to complete any required quests and be aware of Source ^Restrictions.
Locate the Source: Make sure you have unlocked the Location.
Equip Your Character: Equip your character to easily overcome enemies.
Set Spawn Point: You will always spawn at the last Fast Travel Station you visited.

Bonus Tips:

Combine Runs: Get more loot per run by integrating nearby sources into your farming route.
Track Progress: Track your runs to more precisely predict drops and more clearly monitor progress. Additionally, time your runs to see how tweaks affect your farming efficiency.
Speed it up: Explore shortcuts and boost your movement speed to minimize travel time. Also, aim to shorten your time to kill with higher DPS or big damage bursts.
Realistic Farming Expectations: Be patient and persistent when farming. Despite precise, verified drop rates, your actual runs might exceed or fall short of inferred expectations.
Class Mod weighting: You have a higher chance of finding class mods for your class.
Awesome Level Impact: Each Source has a hidden Awesome Level that impacts the chance of finding higher rarity loot. The Catalyst and Scavenger Class Mods minimally boost this level.
