README

Randomizes boss drops (ie: get rid of dedicated loot pools). Obviously this will be of no interest to anyone looking to farm specific gear, but for myself, I got a bit tired of going through the game and ending up using the same gear at the same points in the game, thanks to boss drops plus Better Loot. So this shakes that up a bit.

The drops will retain the type of drop, so if a boss was going to drop a specific legendary shotgun, you will get a legendary shotgun of some sort.

I recommend the use of my Expanded Legendary Pools mod, so that the loot you get is as varied as possible. If you're interested in this mod, you might also be interested in my Mission Reward Randomizer mod.

Due to how loot is structured in Arms Race / Stormblind Complex, this mod will also randomize the legendary loot dropped by all other enemies in that area as well (this is identical to some functionality included in DLC Loot De-Emphasizer). There's no problems with using both of those mods at the same time; just a bit of duplication between then.

Mod Compatibility Info:

If you use this mod along with Better Loot, make sure that this mod appears after Better Loot in your mod list.

Description (from inside mod)

Randomizes the unique drops provided by bosses, or in other words basically
completely does away with specific boss drops.  Drop types should remain
constant -- if a boss originally has a pistol and an AR in its pool, you
should still get a legendary pistol or AR in the drops.

Note that this does not affect drop rates at all, just the pool contents.

More or less intended to be used alongside my Expanded Legendary Pools mod
so you get as interesting as possible drops.
