How To ALWAYS Get Legendaries From The Grinder!!! Borderlands The Pre-Sequel

[@WayStedYou]

You heard it here first, grab your thingies and grind them folks.

[@arielperez6503]

How to get a legendary from the grinder Step 1: You need 2 legendaries :/

[@KingGothalionYT]

did you watch the video. those launchers are super easy to get. Like you can get 2 in thirty minutes

[@abdulazizalsaif1937]

King Gothalion actually Goth less then 30 minutes I got four in like 15 minute :) But to be honest goth there us a lot of people figur this out before two days at least I got a maggie Luneshine out of it I figur it by myself but killer 6 he is the first one if im not wrong in youtube do it

[@deathjoker666]

Abdulaziz Al Saif Not all people figured that out. I seen the same video you speak of though.

[@daath912]

Abdulaziz Al Saif a lot of People figured it out? you shoudlnt Forget that the half world didnt even played the game... so thx goth and the other guys who found it out/posted it... man, 3 and a half hours left till i can Play :d

[@arielperez6503]

Yeah I guess it wouldn't be too hard to farm it but I'm barely a lvl12 Willhelm lol

[@HorusE]

'Go out there, and grab your thingy's' - Gothalion 2014

[@UltimateDasher]

It's not related to this video but I think there is a glitch associated with Nisha's skill Bottled Courage. The skill is when you enter Showdown, you restore 10-50% of your shield. I was casually playing the game and for a long time I didn't go down, then I noticed that my Shield is instantly recharged everytime it got hit, even though the recharge delay is 3 secs. After I quit and save then the glitch goes away. I'm thinking there is a glitch with this skill that works the same way as Buck Up. I haven't been able to recreate the glitch, but just want to share the experience.

[@Nnoitrum]

I think this might actually be a bug with all characters that have some sort of shield recharge skill because I had that with Athena multiple times.

[@UltimateDasher]

Oh is it ? I have only played Nisha and that was the only skill involving Shield so I thought it is related to the glitch. Nevermind then XD

[@nknasi]

i had it happen with claptrap too. i noticed it after i had been shooting maliwan laser guns (continuous beam) with an amp shield. i'm not using any skills that affect shields in any way.

[@AsDeft]

UltimateDasher Gothalion had it happen on stream as Athena. It is weird and it is honestly not fun to play with. It being associated with shield skills would make sense, but I do not think it is.

[@bobboberson8096]

UltimateDasher had that on Wheelhelm made me close to unkillable, was quite fun.

[@redghost4389]

I tried this on the handsome collection back to back lost four legendaries

[@nknasi]

the cat o' nine tails was the first legendary I found. the best way to use it is how you used the fibber in that ricochets create more projectiles, which create the damage.

[@HotAkPL]

Unfortunately the moonshine effect is not 100% guaranteed. I have tested this for about 30 times or more (using read-only save), about slightly more than 50% of the outcomes come with moonshine. Also, I think that not all legendary can be produced this way.

[@brianconway372]

They must have changed it because the more I've tried using the grinder the worst items I get and the lower crap stats weapons I received. I've received several luneshine weapons that look cool that are just absolute trash compared to some of the common weapons I find and some of the bins and that's spending moonstone.

[@saltycomet]

Don't have to use it to get legendaries lol I never do

[@Slapped]

I got The ZX-1 in the Zarpadon boss fight...

[@sum-dum_nerd]

is that a good one? i just got two grinding guardian for a bit

[@Timelapse-oh9wy]

I got the zx1 twice w the legendary baroness thing from a single attempt at the final boss

[@FezPlays]

I tried this a hammer buster and a baby maker (IFV) with the same exact purple laser you used but it wouldnt let me grind

[@praxiccameron2035]

I got three purples grinded and boom skull smasher

[@WondrousHello]

You got lucky then

[@susanwalls486]

I have cat o' nine tails for level 33 i'm level 35.How did i get it?I got it when I was farming the vending machines in concordia.

[@XiuHang]

So after playing with this for quite a long time. I have concluded that the grinder only puts out a few of each different gun types legendaries. I was able to get, doing pistols only, Scav, Torgue, Jakobs, Dahl, and Tedieore legendaries but I couldn't get Vladof or Maliwan from the grinder. I did the grind enough that I"m pretty sure you can't get luneshine on some legendaries, which kinda sucks.

[@davidswe98]

for some reason i cant do this with laser guns as the prefered weapon type but evry other weapon type works just fine

[@MrBritdog2]

I did get 2lasers, one blue which the blues are great in this game and one purple with luneshine bonuses, I did not write it down but I used 3 greens I think and for the purple 2 greens and smg purple, but the weapons so far are awesome 130% damage, 100% accuracy, but have not tried legendary

[@gabbers171]

To get a legendary shield, I think you need to put two legendary shields + purple one- you can't use two guns

[@mrmosty5167]

I'm grabbing my Thingy just from how awesome this vid is.

[@skullmajora]

I suppose the combination makes sense, grats to weird on finding it out. Now to grind me some legionaries and get myself a good shield.

[@drfacerollgg]

Do the level of the weapons you put in have an impact? For instance, if I want a level 50 legendary, do all the weapons I put in have to be level 50 or can there be a level 49 or lower?

[@shanewoolf3494]

Gothalion, how are the backpack and bank in the pre-sequel? A lot of people had issues with limited backpack and bank space in BL2. Are we going to have the same problem in this game?

[@MrLucky666MrLucky666]

in order to duplicate, just copy and save another name of your original character. use the all player stash and grind once again for your result.

[@jp9707]

Thanks! I followed your instructions and got pretty much the exact same gun and you got in the video, the Cat O' Nine Tails, with nearly identical stats (just a few percentages off) and a different luneshine ability. Took me more than 4 hours to get two legendary weapons though, grinding that boss again and again :/ If I could be bothered I'd try it again a few more times to see if it always produces the same weapon, with two legendary 'thingies' and a purple-rarity lazer gun, but I don't want to have to put all of that time into it again!

[@thiswillfit1911]

i am firmly gripping my thinggy

[@daboyzvlogs2875]

ok

[@crazyadam9281]

The two DJ's in Moxxies bar has to be a Daft Punk Easter egg.

[@robotetanus]

You don't say...

[@theshadow3438]

You mean Daft Punk reference?

[@inuyashaa02]

For some reason I couldn't get 2 level 50 thingys and a level 50 epic beam laser to grind it just wouldn't let me am I missing something stupid?

[@gmzfam2143]

in normal mode the thingy only appeared only once and that was the first time i beat it after that none dont know why

[@eastonfunk1346]

I've put two legendarys and places a purple at bottom over 10 times and it won't let me moonstone grind it, and when I normally grind it I just get a purple

[@skyarcher04]

this is awesome! thanks goth. ill have to give thumbs up to bahroo and beard as well

[@Cardinal_Prince]

what would happen if you grinded 3 of the same gun? I'm gonna guess you get a slightly better version of that gun

[@0mikeisonfire0]

Does it matter what level the weapons are? Can I grind low level gear and get something equivalent to my current level or the current story level?

[@jeronimotorres1]

It seems to average out the levels of whatever you put into it. I'm not sure though, only going based on what I've done.

[@boysiy]

Hi Gothalion, Thanks man for the info now i don't have to go searching for Legendaries and by the way wicked video.

[@crusher7985]

Hey, sometimes when I put in 2 Legendaries and the Gun Type I want (Purple Rarity of course), it doesn't let me Moonstone Grind. Does anyone know why this happens?

[@Twofix]

Is there any recipe to grind a legendary grenade mod, shield and Oz kit? It seemed that this recipe is only for legendary weapons only.

[@TheHoriyoshi]

Moonshine/Moonstone-grind? HOW the heck? There is no button or so and I am also not able to put a moonstone into the grinder. Please can anybody explain?

[@seansuarez772]

I seen a video of someone grinding shields, but when I try it doesn't work for me.

[@MTX671]

Super Hyped about the grinder....got my first legendary (not from farming) but from a VENDING MACHING...thats all you need...REAL EASY....all you have to do is DUPLICATE BY SPLIT SCREENING....(if you dont have a buddy to help you) like me :( I went from 1 legendary to having 8 legendaries in about 10 mins. LOVE THE GRINDER....

[@danielfrees9560]

Lost 3 purples to this machine(Including a sick 350 dollar [selling] luneshine pistol) and got the worst purple I have ever seen.

[@kalamatagames2631]

look for grinder gide at web for 100%the type you want you must put 3 the same type guns and color 3 green =1 blue

[@TheVideogamer1004]

How many legendary weapons y'all got? I got a grenade mod and Oz kit.

[@27565]

I really don't understand how the grinder works..... I put 2 legendarys in and a purple pistol and it won't grind. Do the legendarys have to be the same type of item if so I think that's really stupid. I don't think it's the level....

[@FelixB1234567]

bei mir funktioniert der wandler nicht :/ hab da 2 legendarys (lvl 24 excalibasterds :D) und irgendeine eine lila pistol (auch lvl 24 aus der goldenen box) rein getan und der typ sagt dass das nicht funktioniert... könnt ihr mir helfen?? thx

[@WAVP371]

What's that special bosses name who often drops legendary weapons???

[@quasar6493]

King Gothalion have you tried a purple oz kit in the grinder?

[@trevonmatthews3516]

By grinding 3 purple guns I got a tedior legendary that blows up when you reload the first explosion splits in to 2 more guns that also blow up

[@beri4138]

So if I kill that boss again and again, I will get more and more copies of this rocket launcher which I can convert into any legendary in the game? Sounds good to me.

[@hunterkruszynski8255]

Do the weapons have to be any level to get a higher level weapon

[@SemperPravus]

what determines the level of the grinded (ground?) weapon? does it scale? can i put in 2 level 10 thingies and a level 10 pistol and get a level 40 legendary?

[@RodrigoHernandez-ks9iy]

Just use golden keys to get purple weapons easier than trying to find some lol

[@KingGothalionYT]

This!

[@amazingkool]

If you're killing the kragon boss already, he drops a shit ton of purples.

[@roninpopehn1253]

no just farm the sentinel 20 FUCKING TIMES LIKE I DID AND GET 80 PURPLES BUT NO LEGENDARY

[@dinoz1481]

I got a legendary from that lol 😂

[@CorporalBubblez]

I've noticed that using the two Rocket Launchers and a single purple gun to try and grind doesn't actually work for me. Are there any requirements? For example, TVHM Etc. Any help is appreciated

[@cahmnie]

I know that your video is old, but I'm now playing another run of Borderlands TPS. When I go to grind some weapon I can't use moonstones, I can do only "normal" grinding, do you know why?

[@MrWestNileVirus]

Can you grind guns that are already ground with moonshine?

[@MrMikeyx007]

How come no one in the video says this is where you insert the 80 moonstones cuz I have no idea when you would insert the moonstones and I found out that it's 80 from the comments

[@schpoingle]

how to always get a quarter: trade anybody for a dollar. where do you get a dollar? it must be found on a unicorn's back..AND!! you have to trade the unicorn a 20 dollar bill.

[@ThePackmanxEST]

Do in have to be higher level to grind purples because it will only let me grind blues. I'm lvl 20

[@visarden2091]

Does the legandaries have to be you level aswell in order to get the gun at the right level?

[@kalamatagames2631]

no i find 1 blue at 26lvl and was 34 lvl

[@PhillipsWife]

I never got the option to moonstone grind

[@trevorkerkes2464]

Ethanlink220 0 I think you have to do a side mission

[@PhillipsWife]

I already figured it out but ty

[@MerrittLS]

Whoop whoop, heading over to Meg now, now, now!!!

[@rockzyk1291]

Can the oranges be class mods? It won't work for me.

[@GrungeGarageN]

Got sledges shotgun from the hidden Dahl chest on triton falls just the other day, its electric

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

I haven't played the game yet (waiting for my copy). But whats a moonstone grinder and how do you tell them apart from a regular grinder? Thanks!

[@ItsMinedraulics]

There's only one grinder and instead of doing a regular grind (free) you use moonstones (basically eridum) to make the grind better.

[@Ethan-se8or]

Put in 3 legendarys and you will get a garuntead (can't spell) legendary. Hope I helped

[@mrmudmigsgaming7668]

so, i got like the same 3 legendaries in the invincible empyrean boss. the Zx-1?

[@corabeka7687]

The Empyrean Sentinel and Zarpedon both have an inrceased chance of dropping the Zx-1. I got like 3 or 4 easily lol.

[@Ferdnable]

hey goth today i got the nukem from the first flamethrower guy in the beginning of the game!

[@nostalgicbard1847]

This may be a dumb question, but can you put shields or grenade mods or oz kits?

[@vracaze]

Yes if its 3 shields of the same quality same goes for grenades and oz kits.I know cause I done that :)

[@bochicken1287]

do you get the thingy from iwijira or something else

[@mrmisterman999]

Why cant we get this in borderlands 3

[@ManxoChu]

Grab our Thingys? Goth, at least give us dinner and a movie first... LOL

[@sbobi4551]

so if I put in 3 purples I cant get a legendary? is this mandatory?

[@gasdorficmuncher9943]

has to be 2 legendarys of the same weapon type and one purple weapon that you want to be legendary type

[@scrap8760]

Funny story about that boss he was talking about, I found that boss on launch date so I was like lvl 6 or something. But I saw a lava fall and I rememberd one of the trailers wher 2 guy joked about having an easter egg there so I go there and think" one mabey there will be a giant clap trap or somthing weird" but no I find a lvl 30 boss XD

[@thedeathberry6709]

Does this only work with guns because i cant grind any of my legendary grenade mods

[@MrBritdog2]

IGN has some recipes, search grinder, but before I tried those recipes i was able to grind class mods and grenades, and shields, but I do not have legendaries yet

[@DSquare77]

Can you dash broad if you don't get the legendary you want

[@ReverseDog]

yeah.

[@rockinzombie666]

When I grab my thingy it tends to hurt is that good?

[@simplyakoala7220]

Hmmm aslong as it dosent pee blood your fine

[@demhax5559]

Goth I got a gx gaming manticore because it looked pretty cool on your channel and it turns out its French... And I am in the UK... So that's fun.

[@zackcooksey3772]

If you grind legendarie bazooka with another legendarie with a vladolf pistol you will get a stiff 88 fragnum aka modified harold

[@Sxcheschka]

Ive killed Iwajira 6 times in a row and each time he dropped the Thingy.

[@decemberferret]

i thought you can't grind stuff with red flavour text?

[@MR-sl2lz]

you can now grind 3 purple items and with luck you get a legendary

[@shanesteinz2875]

So how does it make sense to give up 2 legendary's to gain back 1? Makes no sense

[@ExNightZ]

is it possible to control the level of the resulting weapon?

[@xLuCasanovax]

Does the grinder only work with guns?

[@aatoskoskelainen4250]

i killed iwajira like 50 times not a single thingy :/

[@redghost4389]

RusinanNuuskija I’ve not gotten a thingy drop;/

[@emanuelmanriquez7839]

Just wondering can you still duplicate weapons in the presequal

[@sfielding10001]

I hope they make a new gen version I would play it forever

[@EmperorLelouchx]

Is it good for me to be at the last boss and I'm only level 21? What should I do after I brat final boss with my claptrap? Should I continue to TVHM or what

[@nostalgicbard1847]

Um you might get rest, if you don't kudos to you

[@MM-kr7gs]

You know this might be only replacement for th respwnable bosses.

[@GamingWithDobby]

I found a Gwen's head in the pre sequel, it was called Gwen's other head and was just the same

[@syrus090090]

I loved that gun were did you find it ?

[@GamingWithDobby]

syrus090090 Are you up to Gladstone yet? where I met him there was some cabinets and a Gwen's head came out of it.

[@theshadow3438]

syrus090090 I found one in a box next to Gladstone.

[@hoodgotwood]

Tediore laser with legendaries gets the Min Min Lighter, just FYI

[@whatthereq]

You can get other weapons from Iwajira, I got the Invader sniper for example, and he might drop other legendaries too since the game doesn't have that many bosses (compared to the number of legendaries)

[@food4fun1]

69 thousand subs ... Good job man

[@SilentMythic]

It looks like a Pack-A-Punch gun from zombies to be honest

[@bentlyhind5274]

I'm level 13 and gotten two legendaries from common enemy's ( not even badasses) unfortunately one was a flakker.

[@jackdrive223]

how do i get a legendary from just 3 purple? do they really have to be the same type?

[@matheushenriquedossantosco7420]

pretty sure its luck based just got a legendary pistol with 3 purple guns (dont remember which), but all other times i got another purple one

[@iancarter1623]

jack drive You don't. like seriously, you don't. this is outdated information. Now to get a guaranteed legendary you have to put in three legendaries. It's not bad if you exploit the game with a buddy. I did it just last night with a friend on Live and got like 15 legendaries.

[@vader2641]

"Cat o' Nine Tails" = Naruto Easter egg

[@allika05]

Nope its a wip just like nishas

[@StarBrlight]

Alllika go home you're drunk

[@AgeOfPwn]

Pretty sure if it was meant to reference any game it would be The Binding of Isaac, as it's an item in the game. It could also just be referencing a type of whip, which is a bit more likely.

[@beaustevens4488]

I find so much easter eggs in the game I've had CL4P-TRAP say "Clappy bird" LIke flappy bird.....It's easy to find them

[@signmeupplz]

1. Kuruma from Naruto is not a cat, so its as much of a Naruto easter egg as it is a pokemon easter egg (ninetales), both are fox like creatures 2. Its just the name of a whip used in Britain in the 17th century

[@nuclearaxe979]

Goth have you heard about the exscalibasterd

[@sundaydriver8429]

Yes but u can only get it once per character

[@seane113]

u get it once u get 2500 badass rank

[@MultiRoflkopter]

Im theatomicpiplup Question since I just started playing the game. Is it usefull to just let it sit there until you´re max lvl and THEN grab it? :3

[@Crit7k]

MultiRoflkopter the damage is based on what lvl you are so get it as soon as possible

[@EthicalCrusader]

You mean as LATE as possible?

[@ezragaura7]

If you put in level 10 gear, will you get scaled gear or a level 10 legendary?

[@Javetts]

level 10ish

[@GrungeGarageN]

I got a Maggie as nisha, and was pretty happy, too bad the third slot was a level 23, cause it came out 6 levels under because of that. But its fine because its still good.

[@OrangeIsntAJoke]

I got a Striker from Red Belly today! First legendary I've seen inside TPS!

[@voltrasinthethunder6689]

Do you know what would happen if you moonstone grind three Excalibastards?

[@x6da9crain]

Excalibastard is the only legendary gun you cant grind

[@invincible5065]

kaz E yes you can grind it i just did it yesterday and got a maggie

[@tomaszrebisz3081]

Goth assuming that I am at level cap can I put 2 low level Thingys and low level purple to get a Legendary with high level? Do You know which grinder slot determines level of the weapon You will get?

[@GamingWithDobby]

I think the grinder kinda averages the level of the weapons so it'll be lower levelled.

[@buffcat5119]

This is how I got my luneshine loaded Maggie I just forgot how I did it now I remember, epic.

[@KenKenTheZombie420]

Cat o' Nine Tails was my first legend :D lvl 11 lol
