Borderlands 2 release date and preorder

[Corporate Thug]

so does the game automatically switch to vault hunter mode after you beat it?

PS it took me 37 hours w/ doing almost all the side missions.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I was too busy today to get two of the codes. I couldn't even log in remotely to enter them because I had to leave Borderlands 2 up as I was on my way to The Bunker, and I didn't want to lose my progress. I was able to get the last one though!

Oh and BUNK-3R takes sooooo long to kill!

Yes, yes it does. I had an amazing rocket launcher (6000k dmg) at the time, too, and it still took a buddy and me like 20-30 minutes or more to kill.

Well, once I sat there in the tunnel pegging him with my legendary assault rifle (I like showin' her off :wub, it definitely helped. The problem is that I started to run out of ammo.

BNK3R is a joke with a corrosive sniper rifle. Make sure you stay under some walkways to avoid it's missiles and make sure you don't waste ammo shooting random spots. Only shoot the turrets that pop up (automatic crit), as well as the red eyes on the top (a small cluster appears when it stops moving) and the single big red eye underneath. Let the friendly buzzards take care of the loaders, but watch your radar...if they get too close to you under a walkway, they'll ignore the buzzards and go for you first.

How can you run out when you're using a trainer?

 

[KevinCU]

You can kill BUNK3R in about three seconds if you have Zero with Bore and a submachine gun with corrosive rounds. If I can get FRAPS or some other video capture software working on my desktop I'll upload a quick video. Also if you guys need help with any bosses feel free to send me a PM or add me to Steam @ sudox88

For those who want to try your golden keys without wasting them. I've tried it and can confirm it works. Link

profile.bin Unlimited Golden Key exploit

On October, 1st, 2012 a new exploit was found for PC that lets the player use his gold keys an infinite times. You do this by right clicking on the profile.bin file located at Documents\My Games\borderlands 2\willowgame\savedata\(some number) and clicking on "Properties" and setting it to "Read Only". Then launch the game and use the Golden Keys, quit the game and uncheck the "Read Only" box (This is important, remember to uncheck it after you are done). Then go back to the game and you should still have all your keys and the items. This is because the game saves your golden key info in the profile.bin file and when you set it to readonly, it cannot know that you used your keys.

I lost over $70k fighting Dukino's Mom. :$

I died a few times also. The first time she downed me right as I was about to finish her off. I had her to 1 freakin pixel of health right before I died. Thought I was going to get 2nd wind off of her

I ended up just crouching down in the elevator - she can't hit you if you stand behind the control panel.

I got really lucky with her. Most of the battle she was hung up on a rock and not attacking me. I assumed it was some kind of bug.

Pretty anti-climatic!

Someone released a save game with all the heads in the inventory (including the collecter editions ones). Heres the link if your interested. PC only I believe.

^ This. Farmed her for an hour last week watching a baseball game.

Hmm, well I played for about another hour or so (after the first 10 minute run when I came here and asked if it got better).

I really like a number of things about the game, and see why it's fairly popular. I don't think I'll play it again though, it just feels like a chore to me. I will be interested to see what's next from the team that made it though, looks like a talented group. It's got a cool engine, good sound, interesting modeling/physics, and just a unique 'feel' to it.

It's nothing personal, I just don't get into games nearly as easily any more, I don't have very much time to play them. I played Diablo 3 one full run and uninstalled it as well, I can't see how it would be much fun to keep going in circles in that.

To each his own I guess

Has anyone else gotten "The Bee"? This shield is ridiculously overpowered and there's no way they won't nerf it in the future.

I believe a nerf has already been indicated.

If the president of the company's twitter is to be believed.

Has anybody posted the Mechromancer skill tree in here?

http://www.borderlands2.com/us/skilltree/mechromancer.html

I have to say, it looks pretty awesome. There's several different ways I could see myself going with this.

 

[Aikouka]

You know... the BFF tree actually has some really nice talents in it for anyone... not just noobs!

EDIT:

I still have three points left.

 

[cytoSiN]

I like the middle tree. I'll probably go with something like this:

In some ways, I'm not sure how survivable Deathtrap will be. Also, how long does he last for? The -30% cooldown might not even be necessarily if you can keep him up for a long time using the +5 second per kill talent.

Was there ever really any doubt? Thing is fun, but it's a game breaker, and not a lot of point to 4 dlcs if you mow over everything in them. Only real question is whether it will have any use afterward, or if they'll nuke it from orbit just to be sure.




And yeah, the Mechromancer actually looks like she could be pretty darned kickass. You get a high grade class mod, you should be able to get close enough up to 10, at which point every miss is going to rebound to something near, making the Anarchy accuracy penalty matter far less. Grab pre-shrunk cyberpunk, then just stack elemental boosts from little big trouble. From what I'm seeing, you'd end up with misses doing 400% damage, and causing elemental effects out the wazzo.

Tie it together with a high-chance electric Maliwan weapon - or an electric vladoff minigun, dang. At high levels toss on an electric Conference call. Sure, you'll never actually hit anything again directly, but it will not matter.

60 seconds as part of the base level five skill.

Has anyone actually gotten any legendaries from Terramorphous besides the guaranteed class mod? I've killed him four times and only got class mod each time. I remember Crawmerax from BL1 would give me 3-5 legendaries per kill every time.
