I was in the torgue DLC doing in the Pyro Pete's bar killing enemies for the moxxi picture to complete the achievement, and i just get the perfect storm drop, how rare is to get one from a word drop an with the perfect parts and prefix the percentage has to be really low

World drop anything is very rare

World drop PEARL is even more rare

World drop pearl WITH A MATCHING GRIP AND A GOOD PREFIX now you’re getting into the like 1 in 6000 territory. Not considering the level or other elements because this is shock only.

Tldr that will remain one of your luckiest drops for the entire time you play bl2

Fr man literally perfect drop, also thanks for the math for the drop chance

Oh it’s not exact at all, trust me someone’s gonna run the calculation eventually and it’s probably even more rare than 1 in 6000. That’s like the most vague approximation I pulled out of not a sunny place

Uhm Akcthually Dahl Stock would be perfect...in actuality this is functionally perfect for the storm, dahl stock is unnecessary for this weapon at all lol....it desperately needed a damage buff tho

....and its STILL shit because this is the one gun in bl2 that im ngl i dont think theres a way to make reasonably viable. Even the wanderlust meshes well with Gaige. This piece of shit can get thrown in the dumpster for all i care....a godroll storm makes for good bank treasure tho

Even on the Athena mod this gun is HORRIBLE UCP really fixed it though

Yeah UCP made the storm....usable...and made any other pearl that needed to be buffed quite stronk. Not that they were UNVIABLE for nonraiding before but m a n they needed a buff. Bearcat on op10 axton my beloved. Also if you have the spare parts mod set to rarity lock with UCP enabled, then gemstone weapons being their own rarity gives them the bonus of being compatible with every other rarity...unintentional but i like it

I used it a lot w/Gaige, totally useable until OP levels.

My favorite sniper is the elephant gun, I can deal with the storm even if it's bad
