Nothing is off limits for DLC these days unfortunately.
Precisely the case with the original and I expect this to repeat for Borderlands 2, albeit as a Black Market item rather than a quest reward, since that's the approach the base game uses (SDUs in the original are rewards for completing broken Claptrap quests). It's a pity that the base inventory limit is so pitiful, though, and no doubt the tactic is a pathetic attempt to push people towards purchasing the DLC.

You did. I got it too and it is awesome
I actually sold it. I like my Corrode on contact more than a thing that kills when the shield drops. Unless I misread the description and it does both.
How do you guys feel about those two shield types? Which do you prefer?
Try coming at it from the other side. Also, there's a closed door that only opens when you get close to it.

Finally got an orange weapon after 56 hours... and the game crashed right after, before anything saved.
edit: it was an awesome pistol with a huge magazine that had the "abt natural" red text.

Flicker is (apparently, I haven't tested it) multiplicative rather than additive, which dulls its usefulness quite a bit. Foresight is okay, but the boosts are low enough that Intertia is likely going to be better the majority of the time. Chain Reaction seems useful on paper but I've never really noticed it having an effect.
The remainder of the skills in the first three tiers are weird elemental damage abilities that, in my experience, are either very situational and/or quite weak. Thus, the first practical skill in the tree seems to be Reaper, and even that is at best about as effective as putting 5 points into Accelerate.
I like the nova on deplete stuff, since when I get downed it gives me a chance to get back up if enemies are close.

End Boss spoilers:
edit: Ending spoilers
Does anyone else really hate all the bosses in this game? Bunker and The Warrior took so long to kill that I never want to fight them again. I don't even want to think of how much life they have in new game plus.
edit: Ending spoilers
also I just remembered I never saw how Jack actually died in the game. All I saw was his dead body and a mask unlock. Was there an Echo my game skipped or something?
Finally beat the game, clocked a solid 27 hours playing solo to finish it. The ending
So now I'm starting up my second playthrough. The game mentioned that NG+ features new enemies, so aside from
what else is new?
was a VAST, VAST, VAST improvement over the original in almost every single way. The final boss fight though was a bit of a clusterfuck at first until I figured out my plan of attack. The odd thing though is that both him and Jack dropped ABSOLUTELY SHIT loot for me. One purple out of the bunch and it was a mod for another class. Come to think about it, I haven't had much luck with loot in this game, I think I've found maybe 3 oranges my entire playthrough and the only one I actually used was the Transformer shield found in Caustic Caverns

Terramorphous
Steam says I'm over 50 hours into my first solo playthrough.
Taking my time with this one.I just reached The Dust in my NG+, so far even some of the basic mobs have had name changes, and I've seen one bandit type that is of the armored type (which pisses me off, since I use fire weapons
).I think co-op is a necessity for doing the Slaughterhouse. We had a Siren, Commando and Gunzerker when we did it and didn't fail on any round except the 2nd one. One person was on slag duty, which is quite important.

Everything I hear about this game makes me want it more and more. I should play more B1 though, I don't feel like I have played it enough. Might be fine either way though, I can't afford B2 right now as it is. :lol
Thanks for the heads up, I would have missed it. I got some nice pistols.

It's just weird... What else can affect the price than the stats? They're identical in every discernible way.
one is yellow, thats about it, color effects price.

If I buy the first backpack upgrade that gives two more slots, and then buy the second that gives three, is that on top of the two I already purchased, or in addition to?
You'd have five more slots in total. Each purchase gives what is listed on the SDU upgrade.
My trick for slaughterhouse was to watch the enemy spawns and run away from it so I could fight stuff 1v1 for the most part. Use the gaps on the top platforms to your advantage; jump from platform to platform to avoid some enemies or sometimes dropping to the bottom and running into a corner is best depending on where stuff spawns.

Just got home and noticed they gave keys out about an hour ago. I thought I was out of luck but decided to try anyways and to my surprise, I was able to get a key! I have 3 now. Awesome.
After beating the game, I didn't know what I wanted to do but I finally decided to first beat the game with all 4 characters before moving on to playthrough 2. Already did it with the Siren and i'm currently level 15 with the Commando. This time, though, I'll be rushing through the story and skipping all side missions. 6 hours in and i'm in the mission
but having a slightly hard time because of my level but it's challenging and I'm enjoying it.
I think this game will be the first game where I put 200+ hours into it. That's crazy.

Now I have 3 golden keys and no idea how long I should save them.

That's my problem too lol
On that topic, I don't remember any 2 slot upgrades. I only remember the backpack SDUs being 3 slots. The ones on the left are bank slot upgrades not backpack upgrades, so don't get them mixed up.

Honestly, save them as long as you possibly can. The upgrades in there are great, but they aren't easy to come by. I watched someone who glitched the keys open it like 6 times before getting a really usable upgrade. You'll want to wait until you REALLY need something and simply can't find it before using those things.
I've used 2 out of my 3 keys, and I've received mostly junk. Yea, they're good for their level, but I've found better stuff by actually playing the game.
Thanks for the heads up; snagged a PC code.
Would I be wrong if I were to guess you purchased a Season Pass CD key from a reseller?

This is the third time I've finished a play session and than come back and had Steam say that it couldn't sync and I had to choose whether to upload my file to the cloud or download it from the cloud.
It's the third time I've had this happen and it is never clear which is the latest file, the one in the cloud or the one on my computer because all Steam says it that it was created "today", not helpful.
This last time I was nearly finished with the annoyingly long Rescue Roland mission. I'm doing Vault Hunter mode, I had used one of my two Golden Keys and received an Orange rocket launcher that did disgusting amounts of damage, and now all of that is gone.
Any way to fix this or prevent this from happening again?

I would think that the local file is always the most recent save, because as far as I've noticed Steam syncs to the cloud after exiting the game. You could always check the date on the local file from within Windows Explorer and verify that against the last time you played.
Steam Cloud's been more trouble than it is worth in my experience. You can turn it off completely in Steam's settings.
Thanks so much for this! Got 3 keys now!
Gonna redeem one now (Lvl 17), fingers crossed for a godlike SMG.

Okay well I've disabled Steam Cloud, I don't even remember when or why I enabled it in the first place. I guess that should fix it.
Too bad I didn't know about that earlier, I lost a rocket launcher that did 12x6 damage, which I got from using one of my two precious golden keys. And now I have to replay all of the Roland Rescue Dam mission.
Forever cry.

Just ran into a weird but kinda cool bug. I had equipped a rocket launch that had the text "uses reduced ammo" or something like that, then swapped it out with another weapon off the ground, after that all my weapons that took only 1 bullets per shot had infinite ammo, and weapons that took 2 bullets per shot took one.
It stayed with me until I saved and quit.
I kinda want to find another weapon that has the uses reduced ammo just to see if it works again.

Okay this is starting to piss me off. I've played co-op twice now and both times the people have been a couple of missions ahead. I thought oh well, I'll pay more attention to the story when I get up to here in single player. I didn't even get to finish the missions in co-op but now they are showing up as complete in my game...now I don't know what the fuck is going on.

I had 3 golden keys, decided to use one (level 22) got 2 Purple Grenades. One seems pretty good. other seems pretty meh. I wish I'd have gotten a gun instead of nades, but I won't complain too much because it did give 2.
Will test and report back.

So, I found one of those pistols with infinte ammo and no reload...
And when you zoom in and hold down the trigger, the fire pattern follows an infinity symbol, rather than just being erratic and random.
Freakin' awesome touch.
