It can't clip through things, but Deathtrap can? Thats an odd design choice. I'd imagine a big balance patch will come out at some point similar to the one that came out for the first game that fixes things.

So let's say I want a Conference Call. I'm near the end of the game on my first time through... is this where I farm and save and reload and all that stuff, or do I do that in my next playthrough? Thanks! Oh, and I got a level 29 Bee, woooo!

yeah its absolutely terrible. At level 50, phaselocking level 20 marauders with level 5 Helios and a +4 boost to suspension (total phaselock time + 4.5 sec) it at BEST can hit 4 or 5 marauders, and this is when it nearly insta-kills them via helios. Fighting Level 50 enemies its nigh worthless as the Helios damage is much less significant and you can't kill the enemies nearly as fast. (not to mention you have to invest 5 points into it to get 100% chance to seek new target)
It could be sweet if you could spec to sub sequence AND ruin eventually if they raise the level cap, but yeah, upshot is: useless/waste of skill points

Just started my Mechromancer run and got my first Orange already from Knuckledragger!

OK... just didn't want to screw myself somehow... so far I've avoided any bugs, made good use of my keys (still have 3 left), all solo.

Yeah, i hit a really nice e-tech Maliwan Corrosive SMG with my golden key and it helped me get through a lot of TVH

This MMO has no end game content!
I know I know haha
Don't know about that. I've actually tried two level 30 Conference Calls paired with a level 50 Bee, and it works about as well as two level 50 Moxxi's Heart Breakers (i.e. a Gunzerker can kill Terra within two "pops").
Per pellet:
Level 30 CC = 500 dmg + 50000 damage from the Bee
Level 50 CC = 5000 dmg + 50000 damage from the Bee
The vast majority of the DPS comes from the Bee combined with the CC's special ability. Only a small percentage comes from the CC's own damage rating.
And it sounds like he's planning on using the special method of farming Warrior that will guarantee him one of Warrior's rare drops. In my case, using that trick gave me the CC after 4 tries.

Let me check if I have this right. On my Axton toon I have the Moxxi's heartbreaker, but its like lvl 20 or so. If I wanted a higher lvl version of the same gun I will have to start another character and wait till I'm higher lvl to do the quest?
Do not accept the quest at all until after you've killed the Warrior in pt 2.
What's this?
1. Make a copy of your save file when you're in the last section of the game, with the "Find Jack" objective.
2. Kill Jack and the Warrior like normal. Pick up the rare item (sometimes it's just a head, although I've also gotten a Flakker and a Leech legendary as well).
3. Fast Travel to Sanctuary and put any rare items you want to keep into Claptrap's stash locker.
4. Exit to Main Menu.
5. Copy (overwrite) the character save with the one you made from before you completed the Find Jack quest.
Basically, the first time you kill Warrior, you're guaranteed a rare item.

I just got Upshot Robot for Gaige its kind of amazing. I ended up getting 50 stacks of the melee buff and it was great. The one down side seems to be that the timer can't go over 1 minute. For example lets pretend you do a kill with 52 seconds on the timer the timer then goes up to 57 seconds, but do another kill immediately afterwards the timer will only go to 60 seconds.

I just got to (late game spoiler I'm guessing)
and it had a rather large effect on me. Wasn't expecting that.

Same here. Beautifully done. This game is really something else.

Post the striker I might trade you a Conference call for it depending on the stats. If you're on PC.
Strikers can also be found with +130% crit damage and a blade attachment. Either way, I haven't found a good use for a shotgun with such a small magazine.
On a sidenote, I saw this poll on the Borderlands Wiki. Really? Are there some amazing Jakobs guns I'm not aware of, because all of the ones I've seen are deeply flawed, particularly the low magazines and lack of elemental damage.

Sorry, I'm going to have to pass my strikers are better.
I managed to get super lucky and roll a Striker with a Blade, a grip, high damage, and 4 rounds in the magazine. The only reason I'm looking for different one is the extra crit chance and hopefully Gaige's crazy fast reload speed can make up for the magazine. I can't speak for other people, but I love Jacob's snipers and revolvers.

Question: on 360 is it possible to try to workaround the potential badass/etc reset issue by copying saves to the cloud/USB and if you get the patch and they're borked just clear the cache and move the cloud saves back? I've seen PC players mention that you can do this by making a backup of the profile, but on 360 I'm only seeing individual character saves (along with a listing for the Season Pass, Premier Club and pre-order DLC). Since the Badass stuff is account wide I have no idea if copying all the saves would work or not, since I'm not sure where it's pulling that info from.

Halfway through Level 49; just destroyed
. Is that more or less par? Man, I'm burnt out on this game now.
Regarding farming of the Bee: do I have to activate the mission first, or can it be done prior?
Also, fuck rabid Stalkers/Skags/anything else that rushes you relentlessly. By far the toughest enemies I've encountered. Constructors ain't got nothin' on my +13,000 Vladof sniper.

He wasn't alone.
Anyone else try to tempt anarchy #'s by reloading then switching weapons at the last possible second. Its a rush man
That...doesn't help me on 360.
Anyway looking into it further, on 360 that stuff is tied to your gamer profile, and I'm not doing any shady backing up to PC stuff of my XBL profile, so guess I'm not playing anytime soon -_-.
Yes, you have to get the quest first, otherwise the elevator won't work.

Is there really an optimal assassin build?

Thanks, man. Mordecai, right? Do I have to complete his others before it pops up?
No, I think the mission shows up fairly close to the end game iirc.
Yes, with Mordecai. I believe you can just pick it up after Where Angels Fear to Tread - right about the same time you'd be heading to Arid Badlands anyway.

Awesome-o. Cheers.
On another note, what section did you guys find the most difficult in TVHM? I'd definitely put the Wildlife Exploitation story mission up there.
Climbing to the Bunker, on the other hand, I found to be quite easy. Also, I don't know if this was a glitch or not, but I actually destroyed BNK-3R with about 5 sniper bullets. It was amazing.

For me, it was definitely the Rising Action sequence, especially Gluttonous Thresher, plus defending the beacon. The second part wasn't so much difficult, unlike the skull Gluttonous Thresher, but very tedious and annoying.
Everything after that is a lot easier because after you finish that mission, you have easy access to numerous minibosses to gain levels off of (starting from Slappy).
I pretty much rushed through TVHM with no problems, except the
Kill Jack's double

I struggled a lot with my Siren playthrough at the Bad Ass Constructor on Where Angels Fear to Tread and fighting Saturn. The crazy part is I had a corrosive plasma caster and corrosive energy rifle on those parts. I think that might have just been a build issue then my own incompetence, but those sections really sucked. As Zer0 I pretty much breezed through the whole thing. It can not be understated how brutally powerful Death Blossom is.

Random Question; I remember in Borderlands 1 after a while my Turret was shooting corrosive bullets instead of just normal bullets. Is there anything in the 2nd game like a class mod that makes that possible?
Destroying the Bunker was a pain in the ass for me, I haven't been doing any side missions that reward loot so I can get the lvl.50 versions later so I was under leveled and kept running out of ammo for my corrosive SMG, it took about 20-25 mins to whittle the boss down.

Ha. Killing Jack's double was super breezy for me. Unaware target + aiming down the sights + first bullet in the clip + a sniper that does around 9k of damage = dicks to you, double.
So, yeah, the sniper tree certainly has its benefits, but you rush me and I'm brown bread.

I used a level 28 bee + fast shooting shotgun lol. I just stayed by the ammo vendor and shot the thing down in a few mins.
The final skill in the left skill tree causes your turret to shoot slag bullets. There is no class mod that adds an effect like that.

Not sure why this has happened, but suddenly my level 48 The Bee only gives 9xxx shields instead of the 14xxx it promises on the stat screen. I've noticed this because suddenly I'm getting my ass chewed up by enemies in two hits.
