Borderlands 4: Complete Legendary Drop Rates Guide

Gearbox recently made a massive change to loot drop rates in Borderlands 4 following a barrage of fan feedback. With massive help from fellow dataminer CZ47, we have put together a list of all new drop rates including Big Encore Bosses, Shinies & More.

If you would prefer to view this information on a Google Sheet, you can do so here

Before you read the table below, it's important to know how drops in the game work. When you kill a boss, it has a number (mainly 3) of unique drops in the item pool that can drop all at once. Each item has its own rate, and is tied to a Data Table value.

As it stands, the following rows exist for loot to use. Some names here are self-explanatory.

• Primary
• Secondary
• Tertiary
• Quaternary

With that out of the way, below we have organized every current drop in the game under each categoric value. If an item lies under Primary for example, it will use the Primary value. The only outlier to this rule are RAID BOSSES who use their own unique tables. Their items and rates will be listed individually at the bottom of this page.

Another outlier is Big Encore Bosses. In a general sense, any drops from a Big Encore Boss will always have a drop chance of 25%

Shiny Items will ALWAYS share the same drop rate of 0.3%, unless the boss you kill is a Big Encore Boss, at which point the rate becomes 0.7%

The complete list of items can be found below. Please note that any duplicate entries in numerous tables means that the drop has numerous sources. At this time, we believe this to be unintentional.
