Know what to farm.
And where to go.
Borderlands 2 farming combines named-source Legendaries, repeatable boss arenas, loot chest routes and difficulty progression through True and Ultimate Vault Hunter modes. Dedicated sources suit a specific weapon or shield; broad farms such as Uranus Bot and the Mercenary Day Loot Train provide mixed gear, XP and currency.

Finish This Just In before farming Hellquist
Hunter Hellquist is at the Hyperion radio station in Arid Nexus – Boneyard, but he will not respawn until This Just In has been turned in. Complete that hand-in before starting repeat runs for The Bee.
Sources & fact checks
Pick a dedicated source for a specific item
The Bee has Hunter Hellquist among its dedicated sources, and The Sham is listed for BNK-3R. If you want one particular item, use its named source instead of relying on broad world drops.

Snowflake’s train offers a mixed haul
The Mercenary Day Loot Train can provide gear to keep or sell along with cash, Eridium and XP. It requires the How Marcus Saved Mercenary Day Headhunter pack, so confirm you have access before planning the route.
