Borderlands is one of the most iconic "looter shooter" franchises of all time, and so the means through which said loot is distributed to the player proves extremely important.

The series as a whole has had an extremely questionable history with RNG loot drops, ensuring players can spend hours and hours grinding the same enemy type hundreds of times and still end up without their desired weapon.

Getting the loot you crave typically requires digging through several layers of RNG nonsense, and as tight as the core gameplay might be, it makes getting what you want an absolute time sink when, let's face it, there are so many other brilliant games to play out there.
