That's not what I meant to say. I mean if the site accepts codes, it will. Regardless of Steam not being up. The site that the game pings.

I haven't beaten the game yet, but yeah, all side quests should reset after you finish your first play through. For your second play through (True Vault Hunter Mode) you will want to leave the side quests as undiscovered. This way they will scale to your level when you do activate them later on. I will probably just go straight through the story quests during my first time through TVHM. Also, as far as I know, all enemies will scale up again (this time to level 50) once you complete TVHM.

PS3 code just worked so they must be live.

Got a code for PC to work. Yay
Lilith is hotter. Because she's the Firehawk and, uh... fire and... stuff.
When you finish the story on PT2, everything re-scales up to level 50+, including any side quests you skipped. That's all people mean when they say 2.5.

Who thought that time limited missions were a good idea? Just failed one twice in a row because I got stranded on the other side of the map with not enough time to get anywhere close to the objective. Ugh.

PC code works for me. Yippee!
It's really just the one timed mission that is jacked up (Arms Dealing). I wouldn't be surprised if it was a glitch, considering the other ones are super easy.

Spoilers, gosh!
The escort missions were worse for me.
At least with the time-limited ones, you can exploit the fact that you can have two cars spawned at the same time, combined with the fact that you can teleport to either vehicle from the car spawn machine.

You were able to get through? It said Shift was unavailable for me.
I imagine that will become possible when the Shift website launches in earnest.

Do people actually use these boosters?
I dumped mine into a mule account and just can't think of a time when I want that taking up one of my 27 slots instead of something...useful? idk. I had been holding onto it through my entire first play through expecting there to be maybe a race of some kind..but there isn't...so what's the point?
I imagine you'll need to do some farming along the way, but I'd think it's possible. Best advice is to just not do the sidequests that give you special weapons. Get a list of those side quests and just avoid them. The rest you can do along the way.
I'd say best sniper is probably the skullcrusher,
assault rifle the Shredifier, and SMG i guess the Hellfire.
I dont, i actually thought that i sold it, but someone brought up a point that what if they make a Driving DLC.
You get pretty close. Maybe with the XP relic on the entire time. Otherwise just do some side quests that don't give interesting rewards.

yea, just dump it into a Mule account like I did. You'll be all set for that eventuality.

Brother and I finished it last night. I enjoyed it, but a couple things stand out leaving a negative impression.
Worst last boss ever.
Worst loot ever. I had to use the same shit assault rifle for 10 levels, and then as added insult the last boss drops nothing but green and blue.
I was always fresh with awesome guns in the first, not in this one.

And now Steam goes back down.
Coordinated fails, I love when companies work together!

that sounds pretty cool, but death blossom requires your shields to go down, right? Not my kinda party.
No. 1 shot per tigger pull. 6 bullets come out, like shotgun buckshot. In fact, think of that gun as the pistol version of a shotgun, but with better accuracy than just about any shotgun in the game...with more trigger pulls in a magazine than just about any shotgun in the game...and of course like 680 ammo instead of the 180 max shotguns come with.
Also, the bullets ricochet doing additional damage. like, that gun can 1-shot a Crystalisk, aiming only at one leg because the bullets ricochet and hit the other legs.
Basically, it's my new favorite gun. I'm sure it's not the best gun in the game, but because of the max ammo and damage multiplier, it's gotta be top tier. Not as powerful as a shotgun which can have +3x or +4x more damage multiplication, but it fires so many rounds so fast you won't miss your shotty anyway. I definitely recommend taking the time and farming it.
28k damage per trigger pull + ricochet damage + 12 pulls. C'mon, son.
Correct.
for those wondering, we're talking about the Maggie.

No, death blossom is last skill on Cunning tree. 5 elemental kunai, plus triggers marked for death if you have it. Between the slag and the MFD you get a very large DPS boost.
If I aim for chest/heart he finishes his dive underground just as my spinigun empties. I reload and by the time he is back up so is Decepti0n so I can Death Blossom again, Mark For Death again, empty spinigun again. What I was saying is that if I had a much larger magazine in my spinigun it might make more sense to not crit and chase him underground. Doubt it, but is a possibility.
This isn't the first one, though. Other than the ones on the weekends they've basically all been during US working hours.
A masher! MUST. HAVE.

Death Blossom works whenever you are using deception.

a Masher, you say? I'll try to farm that one today. I still want a fucking Legendary SMG. It's killing me that I don't have one.

ooooh. it's a skill for Zero. I was thinking about that shield you get from a side quest with the similar name.
The masher, unfortunately. Much to my chagrin.
