Class mod
I'm stuck in a rut with Class Mods (Zer0), and will only equip those with regenerating health. I'll still pick up a good looking class mod, but I just won't equip it, and I feel like I'm missing out on other cool stuff. Weren't there shields or guns that helped regen health in BL1?
The challenge isn't really there in this first playthrough, I'll give you that. What would you recommend? (in TVHM) Hold off on all the sidequests that reward you with leveled items, or just hold off on a few?

That is pretty much exactly what I've done and it works fine.
Same here. I'm too lazy to swap them when I need the regen. There is at least one shield in b2 with regen. I believe there is also at least one gun that regens on hit. I could probably swap out the regen mod and use transfusion grenades for healing.
Another issue with zer0 mods is that they usually buff melee/pistol/sniper rifle when what I want are buffs to shotgun and smg. The mods that help with shotgun and/or smg in turn buff skills that I don't have specced. It would be nice if they added a quest in the DLC which is basically "roll your own mod" so you can get a mod that matches your build and playstyle.
Just hold off on anything you know ends in a reward you want. If you don't want to look up the rewards for quests you haven't done, I'd recommend skipping anything that shows it gives a blue level reward or higher until TVHM story is cleared.
This is the same spec I use, except Fearless over Ambush (because I never saw it work once combat was started even if the target was chasing another player) and the two in OSOK are in Bloodshed's first tier to take advantage of the legendary hunter mod.

Hey, I heard that the Special Edition and Vault Veteran heads and skins and given as items when you start a new game and thus are tradable. Would somebody be willing to create a new siren and trade these to me tonight?
The SE ones are, but the Veteran ones are not (you just start with them unlocked). I've been looking for the Axton ones myself.

Well crud, because I only really wanted the Vault Veteran one.
Cry.
Is it possible I can just copy somebody else's BL1 save to my HDD? 360 version.
Maybe. Either that or just rent/borrow a copy of BL1 and make a quick save.
Great. Thanks for the info, Wallach and slaughterking.

You can use the list in this post to stay away from missions that give good rewards - http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/showpost.php?p=2804315&postcount=1
Personally I'm just going to look at quest rewards and skip anything that is blue or higher.

Wait....how do you get more than 5 points in one skill? For instance I see 10/5 on your setup.
What is this trickery?
Class Mods. Some of them give you +skill bonuses.
Oh yes, it's even more fun with the Order shield and Law pistols <3
Don't all the side quests reset after first play through? The advice above seems confusing. Isn't it PT2 where you should skip unique reward quests? Since they aren't reset and you want to go back in 2.5 when everything is max leveled (reward items and enemies). You can do whatever you want in the first PT, correct?

can't seem to search for matches at all. Anyone else have the same problem?

Does it matter what folder the four player difficulty mod is in? I'm using it but not sure if it's actually doing anything as it doesn't really seem any more difficult and the drops aren't noticeably better.

I love Zer0 but I hate that he doesnt have health regen. I have had to sell so many class mods that I would love to use since I cant stand playing without health regen.

God's had his chance.
So.. i don't know what it is... borderlands bad luck? hate from the angels? hyperion sats? ... mother fuckers are all against me.
Spoilers for the very late game...
Please someone help.. and not by telling me i need to re-roll my character at 1 :-(
Spoilers for the very late game...
I loaded my game last night and fought with saturn outside the infolink. Destroy him and run train on the IL building - killed the BAconstructor and work my way upstairs to the map data. Grab all dat, leave to sanctuary and talk to everyone, bounce to fight Jack
Here is where shit gets angrified.
After opening the door with Cl4pTr4p and fighting my way through the first few encounters I come across Brick and Mordecai!! FUCKYAHBRAH! lets kill stuff!! ..... but.... wait. The sound effects and music are all muted like there is dialogue playing and Brick's picture is up in the top right com window thing but there is no voice acting/subtitles. There is nothing to click on... my mission marker is well beyond the Hyperion gate, brick won't speak to me neither will mordecai. If i try to leave the area at this point the game freezes on a loading screen. Textures begin to load slower and sometimes not at all when I get close to objects. What in the fuck????!!!

Did all the side missions on TVHM. Now I feel like I might as well go for the Platinum, but killing Jimmy Jenkins sounds like a pain.

Just generic exp and cash I think. Oh and Jack says to remember that you're a sellout and his bitch.

is there a way to get the preorder stuff without paying out of the wazoo? just picked up the game for the PS3 as I didnt have enough $$$ before and I feel like im missing out on stuff :/

The pre-order stuff is mostly junk outside of the mechromancer class, which isn't even out yet. It'll cost you $10 to get the class now.

How exactly do you redeem the codes in game?
from the main menu, go to extras and enter the code at the shift code option

With a lot of enemies having shields in TVHM, non-elemental weapons are proving to be quite useful

So choked.
Bought this last night on Steam and let it download, but when I fired it up this morning it can't complete the installation due to error #55: Steam servers are too busy to handle your request. Validating the cache didn't help.
First time Steam has let me down. Feels bad.

Should just be a limited time frame, if it's the same as the last few keys that have been given out.

So what are, arguably, the best guns in the game of each type?
I have Conference Call shotgun and I've been told thats the best shotgun.
I have Bee shield, which is good if you are playing cautious, but shield is low.
How about Sniper, Assault Rifle, SMG, etc.

So I just beat the game, and am level 33 Siren.
What do I do now? Is there secret stuff I am missing? Things I know I have not looked at yet.
-Grinding out to get some bee shield?
-Fighting some huge secret boss.
-Crapload of sidequests (which I really dont feel like doing because the exp/rewards are essentially too low/garbage)
Is that it? Should I start this Vault Hunter mode now? Or should I try and keep grinding to get to level 50, then do it? Is the last boss the best place to grind out for exp?

Shift codes give you an extra golden key which unlocks the golden chest in Sanctuary, from which you get purple loot.

Activates in 23 minutes.
Just start the Vault Hunter mode. You can go back to your original game anytime you want and keep all your stuff from the Vault Hunter mode.
