So far, all Borderlands 3 DLCs (through DLC5, Designer's Cut) have had the in-DLC enemies drop at increased rates from DLC-specific loot pools, so that when you go through the DLC, you're very likely to acquire the gear that was added with the DLC. That's certainly nice the first time through, but I found I wanted their drops in subsequent plays to just match all other world drops from base game enemies. That's what this mod does!

This mod is definitely intended to be used alongside my Expanded Legendary Pools mod, which adds all DLC gear into the world drop pools.

Note about Arms Race / Heavyweight Harker:

Due to how the Arms Race / DLC5 loot pools are set up, and how Heavyweight Harker's drops are set up, this mod ends up effectively randomizing Heavyweight Harker's unique drops as well. For now that's just an unavoidable side effect of this, alas! I may be able to figure out a way around that at a later date.

Note about Purple Skill Tree COMs and Director's Cut:

DLC6 (Director's Cut) adds in drops for the non-legendary Purple Tree COMs which were added to the data in DLC5 (Designer's Cut), for DLC6 enemies. This mod will remove those drops -- I highly recommend using my "World Drop Designer's Cut COMs" mod to put those mods into the global world drop pool instead, which allows them to drop from any source which drops COMs.

Notes on Mod Compatibility:

If using this mod alongside the Provocateur COM mod, make sure that this mod appears in your mod list after the Provocateur COM mod, so that Provocateur gets properly de-emphasized. Note that when using both together, you'll need to be using something like Expanded Legendary Pools, in order to get any Provocateur drops.

So far, all story DLCs for BL3 have included specific legendary loot
pools which world-drop pretty frequently throughout the DLC, so you get
the same relatively-small set of drops often while playing.  This is
great for the first playthrough or two, but after that, I'd typically
prefer just getting the 'usual' world drops instead.  So, this mod aims
to replace those specific drops with our ordinary legendary pool drops
instead.

This doesn't touch *specific* enemy drops, such as Gideon and The
Procurer from DLC2, who drop from the same pool ordinarily used for DLC2
legendary world drops.

This is intended to be used alongside my Expanded Legendary Pools mod,
so you've got interesting stuff dropping most of the time.
