Legendary loot is a huge reason for joy among most players in Borderlands 4, especially when it is rare. One player finally received her second Legendary after 20 hours, but it came from a place where one does not expect such items.
In Borderlands 4, players want to have as many legendary items as possible. They are not only often strong in their stats, but they also have some crazy effects like a shield that fires rockets or a shotgun that blows up an entire room.
However, it can take some time before you hold such a legendary weapon in your hands. Especially if you are not explicitly farming for such items. One player found her second legendary item after 20 hours, but it was found in a toilet.
Legendary items can theoretically drop anywhere, even in the toilet
What did the player find? Player Jennifer Locke posted a picture of her find on x.com. It is the legendary pistol Budget Deity. But it came from a toilet of all places. She writes: Not from a boss. Not from a badass. Not even from a chest. From a toilet.
According to her tweet, this is only her second legendary item after 20 hours (with multiple characters). The find amuses the community, and there are countless jokes about the toilet find in the comments. @TheReal_DealDan (x.com) writes that it is the best kind of Legendary.
Aside from that, there are users who complain about the low chances of legendary loot. For example, @MisfitOneFour (x.com) complains: The drop rates are ridiculous. I defeated 2 bosses and received no legendary items in both cases.
What’s the deal with legendary items in Borderlands 4? In Borderlands 3, players criticized that legendary items no longer feel special because they dropped quite frequently. For Borderlands 4, they wanted to change that. They reduced the drop rates to make it feel more rewarding.
But not all players seem satisfied with this, as can be seen from the comments on X.
How can I get legendary items in Borderlands 4? As seen with the toilet find, it can always happen that you get a legendary item. Even if the chance is very low, regular enemies or simple chests can contain strong items.
If you want to farm more specifically, you should farm bosses. This can be done relatively easily with Moxxi’s Big Encore Machine, as you can respawn them for money. If you are looking for something specific, you should check the boss drops.
Another option is the golden chests that you can open with golden keys. You can find all the current SHiFT codes for this here: Borderlands 4: All SHiFT codes for September 2025 – How to get free golden keys and more
Theoretically, there could be a legendary item waiting for you behind every toilet and every enemy, but you will probably farm them efficiently at bosses. You should always participate in an event in the open world, as you can also be rewarded well there: Random events in the open world of Borderlands 4 provide great loot, but one mechanic frustrates players
