No this game drops fewer legendaries. There is a big difference. You can't just play through the game and expect to have that many Hellfires and Volcano's drop that you can update them regularly.
yes i agree, but the balance is wrong here, because BL2 drops nothing compared to the amount of work you put in.... i.e i've been on level 72 for ages now and i've found nothing.
the correct balance would be about 10% of what the first game dropped...i.e you find a Volcano every 3 days, rather than 4 times a night

....especially down in Claptraps revolution DLC.
This time around?.... i've never seen it and i bet if i do, it'll be rubbish compared to the 1st game.....because on Youtube, the BL2 Volcano looks poor.
the volcano used to kill at only 800 damage, but it went all the way up to about 1200, but a top of the range legendary now; only just kills in one hit, because quite often Harold doesn't kill at all.....so there is a massive difference in the enemy AI shield and health/tactics required compared to the 1st game..... or the guns are detuned, maybe both.....because if you went back to the 1st game, you'd be shocked to see how quickly they die, even from non- legendary guns, i'm not complaining now, just observing.
i dont think it matters now, it's too late, but i do worry about BL3...
