Borderlands 2 release date and preorder

[DaveSimmons]

If you're looking for Badass Pyschos, Frostburn Canyon has 4 of them -- 2 just past the first set of stairs as you leave the cave, 2 as you enter the Firehawk's lair.

For one badass in about 2 minutes you can supposedly go to Southpaw Steam and Power and get him after the group in the first room.


Edit: also, if you notice you've no longer killed Knuckledragger, Gearbox has said it's just a bug in the stats page and your data has not been lost.

Here's a thought.

How about you kill the boss, I'll join your game, grab the legendary gun, and you get credit for the kill? :sneaky:

Hey, if you want the gun, I can give you some OP 8 versions. I decided to farm him for a spell, for some reason, even though I don't like the gun.

I guess I like that area because I was once farming it for Tubby spawns. ....and last night I did get a Legendary Killer mod for Zer0

derp--I just realized that this won't help you at all. certainly not at the end of this day's event.

But--if you want a version that you can ...almost use...I have a level 34 version? that's the lowest level I have for Tina's

 

[Skott]

Got my assassin up to level 14 now. The game is addictive just like the first. Huge time sink. Working on the Rescue Roland mission at the moment. Doing the side missions as I go as well. When I complete the main story line I'll pick up the Tiny Tina DLC and give it a try.

 

[DaveSimmons]

Anyone else finding it harder to get motivated this week?

Collect 139,377 brown rocks
Defeat Ug-Thak, Lord of Skags
Pilfer lost staff of Mount Schuler
Defeat Destroyer of Worlds
Dance, dance, baby

. . . for a "chance" at the end of the week to farm for a grenade that's mostly useless?

I never win contests, so the cash prizes don't help get me to grind.

 

[zinfamous]

^ the week rewards are pretty terrible considering the requirements.

I assume the fastball is also a blue item? The only thing about the Creamer and Fastball, is if you don't have access to those packs, you can now get these items. Pretty much only good if you want to collect everything, but so far all of this loot is easily outclassed by plenty of other gear in the game--including the daily drops.

Plus, the permanent upgrades are a bit odd--giving bandit guns larger magazines...really?

 

[zinfamous]

But, I've started experimenting with the various ways to break the game, which I'm playing with at OP8 (not for leveling).

For example--using the Little Evie glitch to give yourself instant action skill Cooldown. This is insane with Maya.

I've got some various-leveled toons out there. My Sal is in the last 3rd of TVHM, and Zer0 is rescuing Roland in TVHM.

I also have super noob Mechromancer, Commando, and now a Krieg

When I started playing you were on some level 20-30 character. I caught up and then got embroiled in a long business trip and *bam* you shot ahead in levels. It's just not meant to be zinfamous!

I just started my second playthough. Don't know how much more time I'll put in on it since I've now finished all the DLC campaigns.

Ahh hell! I just saw that they released a GOTY edition finally. Comes with a few that I did not get with the Season Pass. Still debating on the Mechromancer pack.

If you dont get burnt out on the other classes, dlc, and 3 levels of playthrough, I would definitely recommend the Mecromancer. I am trying to get at least one character through UVHM mode, and an currently using Salvador. If I decided to switch classes or try another, my next choice could well be the mecromancer. I think there are a couple of skills which deal slag damage, which is annoyingly essential in UVHM mode. It is pretty easy when gunzerking, but is quite annoying with other classes.

Siren is pimp in UVHM with insta-mob slag using Ruin.

The Legendary Cat mod that they introduced with the Digistruct/72 cap update is insane.

Though I have been having tons of fun Gunzerking with dual shotguns on Sal--I'm not yet at a level to try out some of my backup DPUHs, so I'm holding off on the pistol build. I've gone through most of TVHm with a nice shock shotgun and Heart Breaker.

But the thing that really annoys me with Sal--the guns often stick on reload while Gunzerking. Is this part of the mechanic? I don't see this described anywhere. Am I not supposed to be holding both triggers down at the same time? It seems that if I empty both guns at the same time, there is a higher chance that he will just get stuck with an empty magazine on one of the guns until I manual reload, and so I do that which often means he's slowly reloading both guns (since I'm using shotguns) and so here I am defenseless. It's surprisingly annoying.

heh, I didn't start any DLC until I hit UVHM. didn't want to burnout and overlevel too much.

I have noticed that happen a few times, but not often. Seems like it happened to me when I was using a rocket launcher. I also noticed that if you run out of ammo and generate more by gunzerking you sometimes have to manually reload. I usually gunzerk with assault rifle/smg combo, doesn't seem to happen often there. I think it is a bug, not an intentional mechanic. I am surprised you are using shotguns. I hardly ever use them in uvhm. The damage is high, but rate of fire is too low and you have to reload too often. Any tips? Maybe I am missing something. The enemies absorb so much damage that the only thing that seem effective for me in uvhm are high fire rate smgs and assault rifles, with one of them being slag.

 

[Qbah]

F**king Steam Cloud. So I reinstalled my Windows 8... and lost my Salvador (was lvl 22... is back at lvl2) and two levels for my Maya... and so many items, badass ranks and other cool things I found and farmed. Ehhhhhh

 

[Hinda65]

Yes indeed...that is a sick mod. Just got one in the dust the other night off a chubby...+134% smg damage...pad that with a Heart of the Ancients relic and some well placed skill points and I think I was getting > 200% damage bonus..

on another note, I agree that a good majority of the loot in the hunt is inferior to what a lot of folks may have.....but I am glad they're not dropping b!tches and conference calls....I like to work for that shit.

plus for me, it's still always exciting to see an orange drop....even if it is something I can't use..

Here is my suggestion:

Hyperion shotguns with low magazine count (for increased money shot chance)

End of suggestion.

The Veruc actually got a decent boost today, and that is probably the best drop so far for this event. Definitely worth farming for those that want a good Legendary AR...though it can be a long farm in UVHM.

I recently got one in the Digistruct Eridium chests, so now I can mix some stats.

I agree--I don't see them dropping highly desired guns like Bitch or Conference Call (though I'm goddamn sick of never getting a Bitch )

 

[Hinda65]

ya...I really dig the Veruc....We've had good luck getting those from Mobley...I think that's who drops it...anyways, I dig the scout prefix, would love to get an amped one of those.

The dust has been real kind to us lately...i'm guess and say that in 10hrs over a few sessions we've got

4 verucs
1 hammerbuster
4 legendary mods
3 Lyudas
2 slaggas
1 bunny

now if could just get the damn queen to spawn on somewhat of a regular basis we might be able to get a Nukem....

Does killing stuff for community goal increase chances of winning prizes? or is it just the bosses.

nah. you just kill the boss for one entry each time.

the community goals really do nothing for you, specifically, on each day. Those goals have to be met each day for everyone to get a chance at the end week loot drop.

I think as long as you kill the boss, you are good to go. But probably best to kill at least one community goal target to make sure.

I think its odd they track that though in the stats for each person.

 

[Tempered81]

Found a special sniper rifle. Legendary & Orange color with no Scope. It's called the "Teleport Longblow" and it dropped from the Badass Creeper in the Minecraft Easter egg area of Caustic Caverns. I was farming it trying to get the Blockhead shotgun, and instead got this rifle. The red text reads, "C'est ne pas une Sniper Rifle". It shoots strangle looking Minecraft style crosses... lol.

Ya ..... Thats one of the stranger weapons in the game, I wanted to like it but never used it much....They recently had one in the loot hunt too.

 

[zinfamous]

Oh wow--Little Evie is the drop today. No surprise, but you need Scarlett's DLC to get it or use it.

...and the cool think about the Evie is that you can use it to glitch and give yourself instant action skill cooldown. So, yeah, if you want to mess around with completely breaking the game, it's a good gun....unless today's update was to fix this glitch.

 

[imaheadcase]

Bleh, just make the contest available to everyone not just those with dlc. oh well.
