Borderlands 2 |OT| Opening Pandora's Box (of Guns!)

I find the best guns for gunzerker tend to be Maliwan (duh), Jakob pistols, Vladof and Torgue. Dahl being the worst and Bandit being a mixed bag.

Having trouble finding Michael Mamaril. I look in all the areas he is suppose to be in and I rarely ever see him in the game.
If that makes it so he doesn't appear as much, that is really stupid.
Maya has teleported sanctuary for me and one of the areas he is suppose to be in is destroyed.

Thanks. I'll keep a look out next time.

You need to walk across small thin planks.
I couldn't find him for a long time after that event. The next time I saw him was right after

Personally I like Bandit shotguns that use multiple ammo per shot. I never run out of ammo anyways, the large magazines make up for the ammo consumption, and they can have some serious firepower. I don't really favor specific manufacturers but I've ended up using Bandit shotguns 90% of the time just because of how effective they've been.
Also I have some Dahl sniper with 120% critical damage. The recoil on the burst fire is rough but it gets the job done, and once again the ammo consumption is no problem.
The only manufacturer I avoid is Tediore. I keep accidentally blowing myself up, it might not be as bad if I wasn't always either using shotguns or rocket launchers.
Same here. Can't stand them.
Tediore requires a different mindset to use but typically have good stats and make some really good shotguns. Plus throwing guns with ammo regen is fun.
If you spec right ammo consumption isn't a problem in the short term but for extended combat scenarios (see circles) you need to have a very particular spec to solo it. My pistol uses 2 shots and along with the Jakobs revolver I run out of ammo very easily and I have points to avoid this too. Not to mention Dahl tends to have stats that don't support the gunzerker, usually.
Bandits can be very good since their clip size works very well in some gunzerker builds. Sadly finding ideal weapons is a little harder. I do like the guns, I just never find ones I use often.
I love Vladof but god I can never find one.
P.S. I would give up a limb for a god damn new class mod x.x

There is this amazing stealth game inside Borderlands 2 playing it as zero. I have made it deep inside camps in three horns undetected.
And the cooldown on zero's L2 skill feels great too.

Just to keep in tone with all your previous post that I criticized.
This is how you do a spoiler. Your previous spoiler posts were junk, this one is waaayyyy better. Thanks!

I've only seen him twice and I'm pretty sure I'm nearing the end of the game. I don't look for him though.

Maliwan makes my favorite sniper rifles, and Jakobs makes the best pistols.

I'm just at the beginning of this (just beat the Cannon Bros, did all the side-quest up to this point). The main difference is first of all there is so much better loot and money everywhere (the loot at the beginning of this is better than the loot at the end game of the normal game), but now the enemies all do much more damage and have a lot more health, there's additional enemies, and a lot of rarer and harder enemies. I've only just completed the Cannon Bros and so far I've run into several Super Badasses.
I've died a lot, but I've been selling and getting so much money (instead of $2-3 per money pick-up like it was in this area in the normal mode, now it's $50-300) I'm earning more than I'm losing, and since I've started my gear has seen several upgrades already.

This game is absolutely murdering me right now. Couldn't beat the rescue mission on Zer0 (tried it probably at least 20 times or more), decided to play my Salvador some, took at least ten tries to beat the last assassin.
I think girlfriend mode may have been made for me.

I haven't played a gunzerker at all, but I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Hyperion. I haven't liked them much with Zero or Maya, but I would have expected them to be fantastic for Salvador. You can't aim down sights while gunzerking, and it's advantageous to hold down the trigger, so Hyperion's weird reverse recoil seems like a good thing for weapon types with large magazines. He's also got skills that give your shots a chance to not use ammo (so a larger percentage of your shots per magazine are at maximum accuracy/stability) and larger magazines (same).
Pretty much this. There are new enemy types, like armored maniacs, but armored maniacs are only notable because you absolutely need corrosive weaponry to take them down. Edit: I have a feeling Sirens are going to be able to tear through the second playthrough.

Then that makes no sense in context of some challenges. Hm.
what about the Sanctuary chest?

Which is the best character to play with if you intend to play most of the story alone?
I've started with zero and I could see using a sniper to be a pain with a larger number of rushing enemies as the game progresses.

Lmao found Jack saying the double rainbow lines
Dat Gunzerker
Im playing as zero and almost gave up on him until I figured out how me and a friend (playing as siren) are tag teaming people and shit.
I think all of them are very playable but axton and his trusty turret are awesome. plus one of his first talents can give you health regen. I think salvador is pretty great too for some of the early game talents and gunzerking heals you!

Level 30 w/ Zer0.
42 hours in. I'm nearing the end, but I've still got a fair amount of side-quests to get through.
90% of the quests have been good or decent, 5% have sucked, and 5% have been awesome. It really has been better than the original in every single way, and that is so very very rare for a game to accomplish these days.

Kind of reminds me of the jump ND did with Uncharted to uncharted 2....i might be over dramatic but Gearbox really did knock it out of the park on this one.

Those of you who did Rakkaholics Anonymous sidequest,
Did you go with the sniper rifle or or the pistol as your prize? I'm having trouble deciding.

I picked the Rifle because I had a really good pistol at the time. The rifle wasn't particularly fabulous IIRC.

kk. yea I have like 5 good sniper rifles, so I guess I'll go with the pistol, as I only have 1 good one of those.
thanks!
He doesn't always spawn but when he does there are ~10 locations where he'll be
From Sanctuary load/travel station:
* Head to Marcus' door and look down. He'll be right by counter
* Go to hostel and look left of door where you buy stuff w/ eridium
* Go into Moxxi and look left by slot machines
* Continue into Moxxi's where hammer is and look by piano (left of radio)
* Leave Moxxi towards Scooter check last alley on left
* Go into Scooter bottom floor, look in back northeast corner
* Exit scooter top floor go into Zed's. He'll be on the left if he spawns. Should see him from door though
* Exit Zeds and check stairway north of Zed's across from claptrap
* Head to center of town. Check on other side of news stand
* Head into crimson HQ. You'll see him from the doorway straight ahead on 1st floor if he spawns

It seems pretty rare. Maybe I'm unlucky but I usually check all 10 spots everytime I'm in sanctuary and even loaded it a bunch of times and i've only seen him once.
What the hell? There are one-way fast travel locations??? After dying to a boss a couple times I figured I'd restock before trying again. It never occurred to me that I couldn't warp right back. Why even have the fast travel then? I have no desire to work my way all the back up there. It took me forever the first time It should at least warn you. Fucking hell...

He does. He doesn't appear all the time.

I only remember ever finding one that worked that way in the big quest after you first get to Sanctuary. I imagine it's just a bug that it doesn't show up on the list of fast travel waypoints.

Currently stuck doing Bandit Slaughter. ****ing game gets to wave 1 of round 1 every damn time and stops spawning enemies, forcing me to quit and start over. I hope to god this quest isn't mandatory to move forward.
*edit* Think I figured out what's causing it. The goliath enrages and starts killing the other enemies before I can kill him. Game apparently doesn't register them as kills for me and just gets stuck. Terrible play-testing was done on this if I'm correct in my assumption.
