While investigating the Issues with Skinpools and Ingame Rewards page, I figured there was no need not to be thorough and document exactly where all of the skinpools and headpools are referenced in Borderlands 2. Yet more mostly useless reference that nobody'll ever care about! Regardless, here it is.

Challenge Reward Pools

These are the pools used by challenge rewards. The game will attempt to only give you the skin of the char you're playing as.

Drops

Pools in this category do not attempt to match the character you're playing as. They would still get affected by the issues linked to in the opening paragraph, though, since that ends up truncating the reward pools. (Mechromancers in specific would very often miss out on skins/heads.)

General World Drops

These can be dropped from just about any enemy in the game.

"Loyalty" Unlocks

These are used to reward players for instances like having a Borderlands 1 installation, etc. I'm not actually sure what would happen were these to get truncated.

Not Referenced Anywhere

These pools aren't actually referenced anywhere in the BL2 data, or at least nowhere which actually results in the player receiving the skins/heads. (At least that I've found.)
