I was running +229.8% item (35lb hound, phat leon, bounty hunting outfit, woss name, 2 rabbit's feet, mad looting passive, and the ballroom song) and the pension check did not drop. This would indicate that the drop rate is at most 30% (and very likely 30% as it's a nice round number).--Top1214 21:26, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

• Sounds good. Most all item drops in the game are multiples of 5. --RoyalTonberry 21:59, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Reference?

• Could the description line about an exterminator possibly be a reference to John Goodman's character in Arachnophobia? Maybe? He's... not a skinny guy, and played an exterminator who beats the hell out of the main spider. With a nailgun! (Great movie.) --The KoW 03:13, 25 February 2008 (CST)
  • would be if there was a nailgun in the text. since she's a widow her husband is dead, and, since he was, presumably, a giant spider, that would need a giant exterminator. which is enough to explain it. sorry. --Evilkolbot 11:34, 25 February 2008 (CST)
    • Figured it was worth asking, haha. I've also been longing for an Arachnophobia reference, I guess... --The KoW 21:29, 26 February 2008 (CST)
