But they shouldn’t be much of a problem if you have decent equipment. You almost certainly WILL be harassed by a gyro and a couple of bandit technicals at the ledge. Walk along the ledge until you are able to jump up behind the church.
Exit the vehicle and jump up on this ledge. Once you get to the other side of the Dust near the church you will be looking for this ledge.
Killing anything with a vehicle yields a fraction of the XP that it would killing it on foot. You must be out of the vehicle and on foot. If you see a red queen (Procreator) spawn at either one of these points it is well worth the time to get out of the vehicle and kill her since she will give the same amount of XP (5-6000+) as the bosses. The other one simply involves circling around the rock formation. You will be driving through one of them anyway. You can check the 2 spiderant spawnpoints on either side of the rock formation directly in front of you at the train station. Head slightly to the right of it using your turbo boost. You can see the steeple silhouetted against the sky in the distance. Once you have spawned in and killed your Zaford/Hodunk boss of choice and their grunts, grab a vehicle from the Catch-A-Ride (which is right there) and start heading for the church. After that you will respawn on the platform at the Dust Train Station every time after you save/quit. In order to make the train station your spawn point simply fast travel to Lynchwood then jump down and take the exit to The Dust at the train. I recommend killing the main boss first, and then all of the grunts after, in case you need one of them get a second wind. Even so, he is still fairly easy to kill and shouldn’t be much trouble. His shield lets him turn invisible, his weapons are usually very powerful and he is a smaller target than the Hodunk boss. Mick Zaford, on the other hand, spawns right next to you on the train platform giving you a lot less time to react (this also makes him faster to find and kill, however). He is usually armed with shotguns which are less effective at range and he drops the Slagga which I find to be more useful than the Maggie, especially in UVHM. Papa/Tector Hodunk is definitely the easier boss to farm for several reasons: He spawns on the other side of the train from where you spawn, giving you more time to prepare when spawning in. Whichever side you kill off will be the one that respawns, so if you want Mick Zaford to be the respawning boss, kill him, etc.
#BORDERLANDS 2 LEGENDARY WEAPONS FARMING SERIES#
They are both long, extended side missions but I recommend doing The Good, the Bad, and the Mordecai first since it is a bit shorter and you can secure the Moxxi’s Endowment early.Īt the end of the Clan War series of missions you will be forced to pick a side and this will determine which boss will respawn at the train station. To start off, comlplete both the side missions. As a side effect of this method you will be farming some fairly useful legendaries that drop fromĮach of the bosses: The Maggie or Slagga from Zaford or Hodunk and the Lyuda and Veruc from Gettle and Mobley, respectively.
This is not counting the bonus from Moxxi’s Endowment or the extra XP from things like killing off the Hodunk/Zaford grunts who spawn with the boss.ĥ. In terms of actual XP, each boss will yield 5000+ at the lower levels (Approx. Of course this is UVHM so the enemies will all level up as you level up and XP will ramp upĪccordingly.
After killing all three, save/quit, rinse, repeat. Once you have completed the 2 side missions you simply farm the 3 minor bosses from those missions who spawn in The Dust: Papa/Tector Hodunk OR Mick Zaford at the train station, then Gettle AND Mobley at the church. For example, I have a level 37 which grants +7.4% XP vs. The amount of XP it gives goes up with it’s level but not by much. This is a mission reward from The Good, the Bad, and the Mordecai so it will be obtained automatically when using this method. The only piece of gear I recommend is the Moxxi’s Endowment relic which gives additional XP. You should be familiar with these missions from earlier playthroughs.Ģ. Hodunks) series of missions (given by Ellie in The Dust). You need to complete 2 side quests: The Good, the Bad, and the Mordecai (found on the Sanctuary Bounty Board) and the entire Clan War (Zafords vs. There is a basic method and a more extended method that is useful for farming gear in addition to XP.ġ.
