A Borderlands 2 Economy mod

(also available for Borderlands TPS)

Ever wished that vendors sold useful items ?

Annoyed by the fact your legendary won't afford you more than two whites in the shop ?

Irritated by the absolute joke that is late game economy ?

Infuriated by the countless quirks of weapon price calculation ?

Then this mod is for you !

Economy Fixes and Improvements (Or EFI) aims to make vending machines an actual source of loot like any other, making shops more than an emergency source of low level weapons and a place to spend your money other than feeding Hyperion New-U stations. The mod includes no less than 6 different individually configurable modules that make Borderlands 2 economy a mechanic instead of a simple flavorful touch.

The mod is balanced to work with all modules together, but they can be individually disabled if you wish (Disabling Fixes is not recommended however)

Description (from inside mod)

Economy Fixes & Improvements (By Seud)

In Borderlands 2, vending machines and money serve a very limited purpose.
Regular items shown for sale are only useful for leveling if no good loot has been found, and IotD distribution rarelly gives anything interesting
Chance for a purple is only 1 in 50 and a Legendary is 1 in 2000 - plus, regular items can only ever be green at best.
Only slot machines are slightly useful, but their chances for purple and legendaries are low too - they are mostly good for Eridium
In addition to that, there are lots of anomalies and inconsistencies in how item prices are calculated, which makes modding values harder
This mod attempts to fix all of this by using money and machines as a supplementary source of loot rather than functional decoration
Each feature has a description of its changes
The mod is modular so if you don't like one feature, you can choose to not enable it. All presets also have "Vanilla" options.
