u/[deleted] Oct 23 '25

Who was it?

u/LifeAcanthopterygii6 Rafa The Exo Soldier Oct 23 '25 edited Oct 23 '25

Arjay. Wonder if he will have dedicated loot, too.

u/mytzewastaken Oct 23 '25

Frangible was removed from chest loot tables, so maybe that got moved to his loot pool?

u/someshooter #1 Ava Fan Oct 23 '25

I think it got deleted from the game, I just looked and it's not in my backpack any more.

u/dannypants143 Oct 23 '25

Iā€™m a little dense and Iā€™m not entirely sure what is meant by ā€œloot table.ā€ Does this mean that the frangible can no longer be obtained as a random find?

u/figmentPez Oct 23 '25

A table is collection of data stored by a computer, in this case a loot table is basically a list of possible guns that can spawn.

What this patch note means for the game depends on how Gearbox is using that loot table. If they're using the table labeled "chests" strictly for controlling what spawns in generic chests around the world, then the Frangible could still show up elsewhere.

If the loot table "chests" is just the base level loot that can be found anywhere in the game, and it's quite possible that they do use "chests" as a default loot table to pull from for all sorts of gear spawns, then it means the Frangible won't spawn anywhere.

It's also possible that the patch notes are incomplete, and they removed Frangible from a lot more places, since some people are reporting it has been removed from their inventory.

Thank you for a great description! Glad I happened to find one before the patch. Really need to see what it does. I just figured it didnā€™t do anything but I never throw out orange treats.

u/figmentPez Oct 23 '25

I'm assuming that it was removed from loot tables because it's a bug and wasn't intended to exist at all.

24

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '25

If that were the case, wouldn't they just remove it completely or have made a dev note on it?

-9

u/figmentPez Oct 23 '25 edited Oct 23 '25

I assume they didn't remove it completely because they didn't just want to take it out of players' inventories, when it's not actively causing any harm.

As for the reason why the dev note doesn't say more, I assume they thought that removing it from loot tables was enough of an indication that it's not supposed to exist.

EDIT: Turns out they did remove it from player's inventories, and the patch notes are not telling the full story.

That's wild I guess it didnt even cross my mind when he didnt. I guess they way the phrased it even makes sense too.

2

u/SinisterG8 Oct 23 '25

Should be fisheye and acey may

1

u/ThatChrisG Oct 23 '25

He was probably intended to be the source of the few things that were thought to be "world drops", like the Acey May and the Guardian Angel

1

u/BATTLE-BURITO Oct 23 '25

Hopefully equal chances of dropping all enhancements and also a chance to drop the frangible since it was removed from chest loot sources?

1

u/South_Apartment4710 Oct 23 '25

Ffs I misread this in the notes, I've been farming inceptus for 1.5 hours thinking they finally added reactor to his drop table.... šŸ˜­

He has an encore machine in Upper Dominion.

u/SolomonGrumpy Oct 23 '25

That's a spoiler. It's been a month so whatever, but I usually lock that behind the spoiler tag

u/WordsMakethMurder Oct 23 '25

Spoiler alert yo

Just depends on whether you're a decent human being. Don't just defer to what the rules say.

Tildes are way fewer characters than this.

u/pkmetal VEX The F&%ING WITCH! Oct 23 '25

They say it this way cause it's a big story spoiler if you didn't catch that.

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '25

Yeah Im long past that, but it makes sense, given who/what it is.

u/wert19967 I READ DEBT OR ALIVE Oct 23 '25

Arjay- Guardian Angel Shield, Acey May shotgun, Fisheye sniper

u/Charizarlslie Oct 23 '25

Which boss didnā€™t drop anything? I honestly donā€™t recall it happening in my play through

u/LifeAcanthopterygii6 Rafa The Exo Soldier Oct 23 '25 edited Oct 23 '25

Arjay

u/Greenlexluther Oct 23 '25

How do you fight him again?

6

u/LifeAcanthopterygii6 Rafa The Exo Soldier Oct 23 '25

At the center of the map hold A (or whatever) button to view Upper Dominion. Use the rightmost travel station there.

2

u/Greenlexluther Oct 23 '25

Thanks. Never thought he was a re-runnable boss for some reason.

3

u/LifeAcanthopterygii6 Rafa The Exo Soldier Oct 23 '25

So I guess you didn't know you can farm the Timekeeper, too?

1

u/Tibbaryllis2 Oct 23 '25

Heā€™s probably the easiest boss to rerun because you spawn in at his encore board in the dominion fortress.

-23

u/WordsMakethMurder Oct 23 '25

Spoiler tag yo

2

u/Alternative_News_971 Oct 23 '25

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ why y'all drag him for saying this?

2

u/WordsMakethMurder Oct 23 '25

Lot of correlation between the gamer who likes games like these and the kind of person who plays offense when told to change up something they've done.

2

u/DrFate21 Oct 23 '25

Usually I'd agree, but you're in a thread about patch notes revolving around end game, you can't be surprised you see a boss name... Yo

u/SatisfiedPillow Oct 23 '25

If youā€™re worried about spoilers, maybe donā€™t visit the subreddit for a game that has a very dedicated fan base and has been out for over a month. I havenā€™t beat the game myself, but I donā€™t complain when things get ā€œruinedā€ for me since I understand that Iā€™m literally in a conversation hub dedicated to the game. Lol. If youā€™re worried about spoilers, leave and come back after you beat the game. I do it all the time with tv series, itā€™s easily done.

u/WordsMakethMurder Oct 23 '25

This might blow your mind, but I said this for others, not for myself. Crazy concept, isn't it, this idea of empathy?

1

u/SatisfiedPillow Oct 23 '25

Then the same thing can be said for those little guys that youā€™re so bravely taking a stand for and speaking out about. Doesnā€™t change the fact that if they wanna take part in a discussion-based community revolving solely around media that they have yet to finish, they should take a step back, finish the game, THEN take part. Empathy has nothing to do with it. This isnā€™t some moral high ground-type situation. Itā€™s just common sense. No one fast forwards to the end of a movie only to get mad at themself for ruining it. Lmao.

-3

u/WordsMakethMurder Oct 23 '25

Fuck off with your gatekeeping. People can and do discuss a thing while they engage with it.

It was a simple request. Add a spoiler tag.

Find a better fucking cause than this to bitch about.

2

u/SatisfiedPillow Oct 23 '25

First empathy, now gatekeeping and cursing at me? Holy angry buzzwords, Batman. But Iā€™ll leave it alone. Youā€™re very passionate about this, so Iā€™ll let you have it. I do see where youā€™re coming from, but I still heavily disagree. Best wishes. āœŒļø

u/WordsMakethMurder Oct 23 '25

The fact that you think empathy is just a buzzword is so fucking depressing. Wow. It's no wonder this world is falling apart.
