There really are a ton of legendary (orange) weapons and mods in Borderlands 2, though they have a very low chance to drop from any of the given enemies or bosses.
Because of this, you’re going to have to either just get lucky, or farm for what you want.
The problem with getting lucky though is that, sure you may get one to drop by just playing through, but will it be the type of weapon or mod that you want?
That’s why farming is pretty much your best option to get what you’re after. It’s gonna be a time sink though, and you’ll probably either get extremely frustrated, or bored by the time you’re done.
This list should help you to at least know where to look for specific weapons and mods though. Keep in mind that some of these bosses and enemies are tied to specific missions, so it’s probably best to complete all quests in the listed area before you go around looking for the enemy that you need to kill.
If you want to farm a specific drop, then kill the boss or enemy listed and if the item you’re looking for doesn’t drop, then save and quit and try again, or leave the area and come back. Depending on the specific location of the enemy, one method may be faster than the other.
For the best odds of legendary drops, play with three other co-op partners.
If you have found a legendary drop that isn’t on this list, please leave details in the comments.
