The RoasterHow to get it?

Base Game
General Farming Guidance

To collect and equip the Epic The Roaster, you need to own the BL1 Base Game.

Most Base Game items in Borderlands 1 are only obtainable from world pool sources, while many non-legendary uniques have dedicated sources. Here’s your quick start guide:

Farming Preparations:

  1. Identify the Best Source: The Sources below are generally ranked from best to worst. Make sure to complete any required quests and be aware of Source Restrictions.
  2. Locate the Source: Make sure you have unlocked the Location.
  3. Equip Your Character: Equip your character to easily overcome enemies.
  4. Set Spawn Point: You will always spawn at the last Fast Travel Station you visited.

Bonus Tips:

  • Combine Runs: Get more loot per run by integrating nearby sources into your farming route.
  • Track Progress: Track your runs to more precisely predict drops and more clearly monitor progress. Additionally, time your runs to see how tweaks affect your farming efficiency.
  • Speed it up: Explore shortcuts and boost your movement speed to minimize travel time. Also, aim to shorten your time to kill with higher DPS or big damage bursts.
  • Realistic Farming Expectations: Be patient and persistent when farming. Despite precise, verified drop rates, your actual runs might exceed or fall short of inferred expectations.
  • Class Mod weighting: You have a higher chance of finding class mods for your class.
  • Awesome Level Impact: Each Source has a hidden Awesome Level that impacts the chance of finding higher rarity loot. The Catalyst and Scavenger Class Mods minimally boost this level.
