The Conference Call remains one of the most iconic legendary shotguns in Borderlands 2, famous for its unique ability to spawn extra projectiles that travel sideways across target hitboxes. Acquiring this powerful weapon requires a clear understanding of drop mechanics, as its baseline drop rate can feel exceptionally low during standard endgame farming. By choosing the right targets and exploiting specific quest mechanics, Vault Hunters can significantly reduce the grind needed to secure an optimal version.
Understanding the Conference Call Drop Rates
The Conference Call belongs to the dedicated drop pool of both The Warrior and The Handsome Sorcerer. Standard farming of The Warrior yields roughly a 1.25 percent chance to drop the shotgun, as its dedicated pool is shared among multiple legendary items and custom heads. Conversely, The Handsome Sorcerer offers a slightly elevated drop rate of around 4 percent, making him a more consistent choice for traditional boss runs.
Moonshot Farming The Warrior
For players still progressing through the main campaign story, moonshot farming represents the most efficient strategy to obtain the Conference Call. During the final story mission, calling in the moonshot guarantees a legendary drop from The Warrior's pool, dramatically raising the odds of getting the shotgun to roughly 1 in 7 per attempt. Executing this method involves saving the game prior to hitting the moonshot console and quitting without saving if the desired weapon fails to drop.
Farming The Handsome Sorcerer in Tiny Tina DLC
Players who have already finished the main story campaign often find farming The Handsome Sorcerer at Dragon Keep to be the best alternative. Because this boss shares the exact same loot table as The Warrior, he can drop the legendary shotgun along with elemental variations. Additionally, defeating the Handsome Sorcerer avoids the lengthy knock-down animations and lava delays characteristic of The Warrior fight, speeding up run times.
Alternative Sources and Expansion Bosses
Beyond the primary dedicated bosses, endgame expansion bosses provide additional avenues for securing high-tier shotguns. Encountering boss targets like Uranus in the Commander Lilith DLC offers generous loot drops, frequently dispensing legendary gear including the Conference Call. While world drops remain purely reliant on random luck, combining DLC boss farms with loot midget runs remains a viable overall endgame strategy.
