Thanks!
Goddamn at that damage. I have the regular first playthrough version of the gun, and although I've had to sell it recently because it wasn't good enough anymore, it's an amazing shotgun, loved it to death. Fires so fast and lays the smackdown on enemies, definitely much more effective than the stats alone say.
I hear it does scale with the amount of people in your game, I feel like I heard this being confirmed early on closer to release date, but I can't be 100% sure on that.

I used one of my keys, level 25. Underwhelmed by what I was given, but it is still exciting opening the chest. I'll wait until I reach a higher level before I use the rest.
No problem, and thanks for posting the codes.

Any good bosses to farm at lvl 25? Doing commando and looking for a nice shotgun, sniper rifle or assault. The stuff I have now is junk cept for the moxxi shotgun.
Quick question - I can buy class mod with skill I am interested in, but haven't got a single point in it. Will I get the +3 on something I have 0/5?
It costs a lot of money and I don't want to buy rabbit in a sack.
edit: Also thanks for the code!

Rare drop from Doc Mercy in Three Horns Valley.
I haven't been too impressed with mine, to be honest. Granted it's only an x5, but I have a purple Reactive Development (non-legendary shotty) that I enjoy more and does greater damage. I'd actually prefer to have a level 50 Heart Breaker instead. That's one of maybe three items I still wanna get a hold of (Legendary Gunzerker class mod and Breath of Terra are the other two).

No, you need at least one point invested to get the bonus.

The bonus points don't apply unless you have at least one point in that skill.
Conference Call is good because it actually has like 2 or 3 times more pellets than what's shown on the stats screen, that's it's gimmick. Since The Bee adds amp damage to every single pellet, Conference Call is the best weapon to use with it (at least for bosses). Clearing up misinformation.
Yes, it fires from 2 additional directions for a total of 15 pellets (or 21 if you have a Practicable prefix). There aren't many shotguns that fire so many pellets, and certainly not with the combination of fire rate, magazine size and ranged accuracy. It's quite a good weapon, especially on very large targets where even at massive distances you will easily land all the pellets.

Finally got a legendary weapon! Yay! And the game didn't crash immediately after! Double yay!
Yeah, I have something similar. 10/5 Wreck + Chain Reaction is probably what killed Bin Laden.

On a side note, I have the coolest looking Conference Call.
Are you sure about that?
I have to say that while the conference call excels for some bosses I prefer the minecraft shottie for every other situation.
It's from the Clan Wars quest line out in the Dust. It begins at Ellie. At the end, you'll be forced to attack one of the sides and finish them off for good; if you kill the Zafords you will be able to farm the Maggie (Revolver), and if you kill the Hodunks you'll be able to farm the Slagga (SMG)

I don't understand the multipliers on the weapons in this game and the first game. You'll see damage on a gun that says something like 100 X 7. Why not just say 700 instead?
7 bullets per shot fired.
That means that one shot actually fires seven projectiles.
It probably fell into the lavaI've been farming Warrior for an hour or two, damn still no Conference call

I feel your pain. I've been doing that over the past 2 days. I was lucky enough to find 2 E-Tech weapons though.
Theoretically, I suppose so, since there are places you can stand where you would receive 0 damage.
But in terms of damage, even if all 4 players had the lower level Bee, it would take days if not weeks I think. As you get higher level, the damage weapons do seems to grow exponentially. Now, if we were talking L50 Gluttonous Thresher, this would actually be impossible I think since he has a shield, which would recharge faster than you can take it down.

turbo farm mode engaged!
hell naw.

yea, it's like that some times. I only got one and I don't even want to think about how many times I killed him. if you get tired of trying to farm it, you can have mine.
But would the 5000 or so amp damage from the Bee still be subjected to level disparity falloff. Either way though, totally not worth the effort since he only drops level 50 gear and in the time it would take to kill him, you could probably level all 4 or 5 characters to level 50.
It'll be hentai for days.

AND you'd burn thorough all of your ammo stocks. everyone would.
Hadn't thought about that. So it'd take even longer because you'd be waiting for your Gunzerker to regenerate everyone's ammo one bullet at a time. Ouch.

It'd take a really long time, but I guess you could farm Normal level bosses until you get to 50. Your time would be much better spent getting XP in TVH mode, IMO. some decent challenge and a lot of XP.
and you don't have quite a bit left. maybe 1/3rd of the game's story awaits.
Not possible in practice. The highest level enemy in Playthrough 1 (other than the level 50 Terramorphous) is the Warrior, which is level 32 I think.
You're two major sections away from the end.
Oh sweet, thanks. Heh, I'll keep farming him for a wee bit. It only takes about 5 min per kill, cuz I'm using a whatever SMG
Finish the game, then exit to the main menu --> character select
Thanks! Didn't know I had to go to character select.

Wish there was a way to redeem shift codes outside of the game. Hate having to boot into bootcamp just to launch BL2 to enter the codes.

I got one at the end of TVHM, but I somehow vendored it D: Now I'm extra careful on my clicks to sell things. At least with a decent Bee and shotgun it's not too much of a problem farming the Warrior.

How long does it take with decent weapons?
The reason I ask is that I just finished NG+ and the warrior took me and my friend a good 35 minutes to kill (we dinged 50 during the fight). It is not at all practical to farm a boss that takes so long to kill. I'm going to do the sidequests I left while playing NG+ to get some decent weapons, but is there any specific combo of weapons or items I should try and farm before going back up against bosses?
So I rented this today and have been playing all day, and its a better game in everyway than the original. Better world design, gun variety is fantastic, and I just love the flow through the game so far.
My problem is, just like the first game, you have to be running backwards while fighting the majority of the time because of the overwhelming amount of melee enemies. It drives me crazy to be constantly rushed at, like I'm fighting zombies and if you don't run back you're surrounded from every side. If just that one thing was different, it would be my game of forever.
