Can you purchase legendaries from vending machines?
In Borderlands 2 it was possible to find legendaries in vending machines. I am wondering if it is still the case in borderlands 3. Are vendors like Earl also able to sell legendary anointed gear?
If so, what is the loot pool and respective drop rates?
Solution 1:
Legendary items are now occasionally available in vending machines. They can show up as the "item of the day" and regular items. Mayhem levels are applied as well, as you can see in the screenshots. This was a change added with the 7/23/2020 patch which states:
Legendary Gear available in Vending Machines
We have rebalanced vending machines based on community feedback. Vending machines of all types have a small chance of providing Legendary gear for purchase.
Previously, legendaries were available during special events like the Door Busters mini-event that ran from 3/27/2020 to 4/2/2020 which enabled legendaries to be reliably found in most vending machines. Here is an example of two legendaries in one machine: a Techspert and a Big Boom Blaster
