This list is completely wrong! Majority of this list is missing it's actually loot sources. I know for a fact the Sawbar is dropped by Borman Nates it's part of his loot pool. The Killing Word is 100% dropped by Mouthpiece! This is a bad list

Anonymous 23

I know it's in the works but the drop locations need working as people have started confirming where there are most this have a dedicated loot source now
