Let's all test something, because I think that maybe they've gone with static drops on world loot. I have two different characters, one level 50 and one level 34, that haven't looted a particular Legendary in the southern Badlands. The location is a trailer. Fast travel to the regional airport. Take the road NW, then take the first left. The location you are looking for is the second solar panel array on the left with a camper beneath it.
In that camper, there is a Legendary drop: Armored Media Ocuset with Camera.
-On my level 50 character, that legendary ocuset has the following stats: Armor 15.4, one mod slot, mod: Increase max Oxygen by 6.5.
-On my level 34 character, that legendary ocuset has the same stats: Armor 15.4, one mod slot, mod: Increase max Oxygen by 6.5.
If someone with an entirely different install that hasn't looted that Legendary yet could go to that location and report the stats on their drop, we mind find out whether or not world drops are now static. If they are, I suspect this is one of the things they did to free up processor resources: not rolling for loot every time a character comes into or out of range. IF that's the case, now many pieces of legendary loot are less epic than some epic drops, which is something they need to revisit.
