Cable Player Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 So I just completed the DLC. I have got the achievement for the 3D Glasses, and the story-related ones. I am sure that all I need is the pizzas for the "What a party!" achievement, but so far I have not found a single piece. Where do you find the pizzas?! I was told they are all drops from Claptraps, but how can this be if I have not found a single one. Also, are the bobbleheads dropped from Claptraps, because I don't even have any of them yet too! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathblow23 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I played through the DLC entirely and I think I have 3 pieces of pizza...and maybe have seen 4 bobbleheads total. I think that is ridiculous and there has to be a way or method for getting more of these items to drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADenton109 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 You can just sit at the very end of the DLC at the boss and just kill the claptrap's and keep picking the drops just don't kill the final boss and don't use your special ability because that might accidently kill the boss which will stop the unlimited number of claptrap's coming out.

nappster187 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 and you can replay the boss mission over and over again, you just need to leave(and save) the game, and restart single player and you can go back and try to get more collectables, just dont kill the minac.

Nei Debrusc Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Gearbox apparently has a problem with Italian cuisine, if not all of Italy. Pizza Hut doesn't deliver to Pandora, and no one wants to go pick it up from the store. Therefore, pizza has gone extinct on Pandora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to get pizzas (and bobbleheads), keep farming MINAC (for hours). I know, it's such a pain, but it's the only solution until GB release the patch (and I'm not sure it will change the drop rate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathblow23 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 UPDATE: I farmed MINAC yesterday for prolly 5 hrs and I was able to pick up an amazing 4 pieces of pizza...and about the same amount of bobbleheads. This is ridiculous. Gearbox should set the drop rate in proportion to the amount of time it takes to play through the DLC. I beat every single mission in about 2 hours...and that was me playing and taking my time and seeing everything. That being said...I shouldn't have to hang around and milk an exploit for an extra 10 hrs to get 4 cheeves worth 10 gscore a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggiez Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Yeah, the drop rate for the pizza is pathetic. If they knew that you were only likely to see a couple of them they should have made the requirements much lower. I did the boss farming for 4 hours and only got 1 pizza from it (I had at that point already played through the junk yard several times without any luck). It's a pity that they threw in this many collecting-achievements. They aren't that funny and these don't even connect well to the story in my humble opinion. Why would the claptraps even have these things? In Zombie Island it was at least plausible to think that a zombie might want to eat brains. This however is just weird. They should have left the Tannis-quests in and removed the others. The new maps are huge they could easily have made another 4 smaller missions to do instead.

nappster187 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 but if they didnt add this stupid collecting achievements they wouldnt have had any other achievements. I mean this new dlc is so short, you got the boss achievements right after the other after the other.... edit: not that im supporting them, im sure thats the reason they put them in to make more achievements.

Carmenbine Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 It might be also that the drop rate could increase the more people you play with during your "Clap-Trap Pizza Farming". I know it was the case for rare weapons to drop during game play (having a full team of 4 players increasing rare weapons drop chance). I however, having the same issue have only had a mere slice drop during a full run-through of the new DLC. Also (I know I have this on my Siren: Catalyst Class Mod) equipping a Rare Item Drop class Mod (not a moded game piece, simply what the item is called). The one on my Siren increases "Team Find Rare Items" by 2. I may be way off on this, but it could be worth a try if it's not otherwise known to affect this particular items drop chance.

I know, it's such a pain, but it's the only solution until GB release the patch (and I'm not sure it will change the drop rate) I found all the bobbleheads without farming, they were located mostly in places that were up on top of buildings that make it a bit of a challenge in order to figure out how to get to it. However, when looking for possible chest locations (which is also in; sometimes, hard to reach high locations) I stumbled across the bobbleheads. Do not know if this helps too much, but maybe give some hope to at least know farming isn't completely necessary for one of the two. Although, I hope the update fixes this as well. The borderlands official forums noted on 10/18 that they were in the certification stage; so hopefully if the update fixes the drop rates we'll know very soon.

The bobbleheads you are referring to aren't the same as the ones other people are referring to. You are speaking of the Marcus bobbleheads, it seems, while everyone else was referring to the Claptrap Bobbleheads needed for the achievement.

It does affect the drops because I use that Mod as well. I get pizza slices almost as much as I get Off-Shore Oil Cans/Bobbleheads, which is about 4 every 2 hours of MINAC farming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggiez Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 After reading what everyone is saying I'm almost more frustrated with this than before. How can any sane developer put achievements into such a short DLC of this kind? Farming is seldom that fun and the drop rates for several of these items are simply put disgraceful. I have been farming MINAC for probably 7-8 hours. During this time I've gotten 2 pizzas. As I've said before, the maps for this DLC were huge. They should have made at least a handful of smaller quest that were tied to achievements. The Tannis-quests were ok but these others are just boring and not that logical either. Why would robots have these things? (aside from maybe the oil cans) It all reeks of laziness which is sad seeing as previous achievements have been fun and varied. I sincerely hope that they change the drop rates with the patch. If not I will probably end up farming for another 12+ hours before getting all of these pizzas. Doing that in a DLC that can be finished in 2-3 hours is just weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prezskroob Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Played through the dlc, finishing most of the missions, still pissed about the glitch. Through all the time I spent with the dlc, which I liked much more than moxxi, I have only collected 3 pieces of pizza and 1 bobblehead. Drop rate needs to be massively improved!

Parallax Demon Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Due to the glitch I still haven't got the achievements, but I have collected all that is needed. All done with a Siren with the find rare items class mod equipped. Just got to the Mimac, found a safe place and went to bed. Next day I had everything I needed. Just too bad that I already had activated all Claptrap statues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungeon00X Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Now that I've read all of the posts, I have something I want to say. The drop rate for all the 'what a party' items is laughable; but then again I killed MINAC and the claptraps still show up in all the areas that you went through in the DLC. So far I've had to resort to actually keeping a tally on the items I've acquired. Since I have no clue how many I picked up in the Playthrough 2 (MINAC is impossible solo on that), I started over in Playthrough 1. So far I found 2 bobbleheads, 2 Off-shore Oil cans and 3 pizzas. The best place I found to farm for them is Dividing Faults, after killing all of them the map respawns them whenever you leave that section for a while. Apparently this means that Pizza Pie is not extinct on Pandora Nei Debrusc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nappster187 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I just hope when their finally release the patch, all the glitched achievements unlock like they are supposed to. I would hate to have to start all over...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADenton109 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Just to let you all know if you have a full team of 4 it does not improve the drop rate, and because you all fight for the same things its slim chance you will ever get one. I have yet to see one pizza and i have played it all twice and had about 6 hours farming at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR247 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I probably found twice as many pizza than bobbleheads. i got 250g for the dlc, just keep farming minac guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel your pain bud As I speak my Xbox has be farming nearly 4 hours and i've gotten 4 bobbleheads (and 3 pizzas although i've gotten the 3D glasses achievement so i've probably glitched it) What a disapointing final DLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's such a pain, but it's the only solution until GB release the patch (and I'm not sure it will change the drop rate) I did the farming method for ten hours on the last boss and only got 10 pizzas last week. I'm going for ten more hours today so I should get 5 more, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
