Mine gave me an error message, but in the Shift menu it said that it worked and gave me a key. Guess I'm good.
lol, the power of the skull chest.

Again, since the PC performance thread isn't exactly booming with activity:
----------
Dammit, now I'm getting that weird texture flickering again.
Recorded a crappy phone video of it (especially look at the rocks to the left):

Anyone else got this problem, or know what causes it and how to fix it? As you can see, it only happens with the rock textures, and nothing else.
Here are two screenshots from the video which really show what's happening (normal first, then the flickering which lasts only a frame or two):

You know what would make Zer0 (even) more fun? Bullet-time skill.

30 minutes after the codes were posted I successfully redeemed one.

Good christmas, I popped open the gold key chest this time and I got a two shotguns that blow away whatever I've been using by an incredible magnitude.

Okay, so 2 questions:
1.) how important is accuracy on a shotgun? Say you have one shotty doing 1108x6 @ 71% accuracy...and another 1180 x 8 @ 52% accuracy...which one is better? The game is telling me that the one with 52% accuracy is the more valuable but I've rarely used shotguns, so I'm not sure how accuracy affects shotty play.
2.) how do you guys decide which shield to go with when the you're given 4 choices of equal value but decidedly different stats? For example, I'm currently stuck analyzing this scenario:
---a
8,251 shield cap
1320 recharge rate
2.19 recharge delay
29% ammo absorption
---b
10,538
1124
3.50
29%
--c
12,067
883
4.34
30%
--d
13,342
1097
5.74
23%
my current shield is like 7,500 cap @ 3.2 recharge rage so all are upgrades; I just...I'm curious how others might deliberate which is best for them.

360 code works now.
Has ANYONE here managed to spawn Pimon, much less him and Tumbaa at the same time? I'm at about 100 runs (using Quit/Continue to spawn at the Natural Selection Annex) and I've gotten Tumbaa about 20 times, but haven't seen Pimon a single time. Also weirdly the first 4 times in a row Tumbaa dropped Legendaries for me, but every single time since none, not sure if that's intentional or what.

For shotguns, I used to look at accuracy and clip size. Now I'm all about the raw damage.
As for shields, it's preference. Would you rather be a tank, but when your shields go down, you have to lay low for awhile? Or would you rather have shields that don't last as long, but you can get back into the fight easier?
I mainly use shotguns up very close or against large enemies so all I really care about is damage, amount of pellets, and mag size.
For shield I usually go with fastest recharge delay unless I have skills that benefit from having an empty shield then I'll go with higher shield capacity or other goodies like melee damage boost instead of focusing on delay.
I have a weird bug in my game that whenever I load my character after I've started up the game... it gives me a golden key. I now have 6. Not planning on exploiting it or anything, but it's kind of strange!
edit: I might have fixed it by using one of them, I'll have to see...

tis helpful. thank you, gents.
I don't have any skills that benefit from the shields being down, nor does the shield have any perks to that end. so I'll pass on the higher cap shields. maybe keep the lower 2. grats.
also, I'll keep the higher damage shotties then. cheers.
Unless the Hyperion is WAY above my current gun, I don't even bother upgrading.

Why does my guy only reach everybody's chest? And can't even see into mid height crates. It drives me crazy for some reason. Why is my guy child height?

"What is your height symptomatic of?"
"Taking 'roids as a kid. And as a teenager. And all the time."
Salvador is short and his in-game camera reflects that. It's a nice touch, compared to Borderlands 1 where Brick's eyes were in his chest.

He doesn't walk around with his gun up to his face all the time. You don't see from his eyes you see from the end of his gun.
Edit: ^^^^ Or that.
Is the camera difference only on pc? My friend who plays sal on xbox doesn't have a crotch high camera.
Yeah, Tiny Tina is about the same height as my Salvador.
On xbox my camera is crotch high.

That's cool that there's actually an explanation and it's not just some weird over sight. He's the only character I've really used so i don't have another point of reference for height.

I've played a lot of Zer0 and I tower over everybody. Goliaths which are huge with everybody else are just a little more than eye level on Zer0.

I found this out in the world, it's pretty rad as a fallback weapon if I run into something that needs to be killed ASAP.
this one is my insurance policy
it's not my highest damage RL (that one is doing 36,000/shot), but this one is doing more total damage. I think the potential is 205,920 damage (8580*3*8)? plus, I feel more secure knowing that if I'm in FFYL mode, I have 8 shots instead of 2. missing one when you have 7 more doesn't have the same consequence as missing one when you only have 2 rockets before that 5+ second reload.
I saw one going after a buzzard over and over, it was hilarious.

So how come there still hasn't been anything about the fucked up legacy controls. If you use legacy thumb sticks your character will drift to the left when you stop moving. It's so damn annoying.

TVHM is fun but I'm not a fan of how the creatures are pretty easily killable but the humans are godlike.
Then again I'm playing solo (forever alone 360) and my shield is shit.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you haven't run into any rabid creatures.
