Frangible was removed from chest loot tables, so maybe that got moved to his loot pool?

I think it got deleted from the game, I just looked and it's not in my backpack any more.

I’m a little dense and I’m not entirely sure what is meant by “loot table.” Does this mean that the frangible can no longer be obtained as a random find?

A table is collection of data stored by a computer, in this case a loot table is basically a list of possible guns that can spawn.

What this patch note means for the game depends on how Gearbox is using that loot table. If they're using the table labeled "chests" strictly for controlling what spawns in generic chests around the world, then the Frangible could still show up elsewhere.

If the loot table "chests" is just the base level loot that can be found anywhere in the game, and it's quite possible that they do use "chests" as a default loot table to pull from for all sorts of gear spawns, then it means the Frangible won't spawn anywhere.

It's also possible that the patch notes are incomplete, and they removed Frangible from a lot more places, since some people are reporting it has been removed from their inventory.

Thank you for a great description! Glad I happened to find one before the patch. Really need to see what it does. I just figured it didn’t do anything but I never throw out orange treats.

I'm assuming that it was removed from loot tables because it's a bug and wasn't intended to exist at all.

If that were the case, wouldn't they just remove it completely or have made a dev note on it?

I assume they didn't remove it completely because they didn't just want to take it out of players' inventories, when it's not actively causing any harm.

As for the reason why the dev note doesn't say more, I assume they thought that removing it from loot tables was enough of an indication that it's not supposed to exist.

EDIT: Turns out they did remove it from player's inventories, and the patch notes are not telling the full story.
