So close enough combined with a maxed out nth bullet is broken levels of awesome.
Also deathtrap with a badass roid shield and the spinning claw attack does a ton of damage to bosses.

Read on reddit that more than 2 points in nth bullet is a waste of points. Someone did the math and the extra points didn't add much extra damage. I'll see if I can find the thread.

I'm currently online at the moment with my level 34 Siren and I need some people to do the last two rounds of the Ore Chasm arena with me. If you wanna join up, just send me a friend request on Xbox (GT: Cheddahz) and I'll invite you to the game

Whose idea was the Master Gee fight and where do I go to sign the petition to launch them into the sun?
Click to expand...
What exactly is Master Gee supposed to be anyway? I feel like I missed the joke / reference / trope.

With Leviathan, I assumed it was a reference / parody of the final fight from Mass Effect 2. (I've seen some people commenting about the fact that he has no lower body, and assuming it was lazy design / modeling -- it would perfect sense why he wouldn't have a lower body if that fight was in fact intentionally a dig at ME2)

Finished TVHM today, including Terramorphous. Only a few challenges away from the Platinum trophy.

What's the best way to do the second wind via electrocute DoT?

I think it was an older glitch that people found around release day, and it was patched in at least some versions of the game.

Actually, I'm surprised they never patched the Armory glitch in Borderlands 1 DLC 3 -- now that was a ridiculous orange farm.

nah, that kid is usually on the money when he brags. he finished borderlands 2 before I in less than a week. I had B2 in launch day for xbox and he got his copy the week after.

also, anybody else experiencing a random death for no fuckin reason? I opened a box full of ammo, held the X button and got that transportation scene when you die. I had no damage whatsoever. so lame.

Did anyone test Master Gee at all?

Like...at all?

Sure is fun that when he's not just despawning in the middle of the fight for no reason whatsoever, it instead just freezes when he dies.

Sure is awesome.

Could anyone explain how I get to the treasure room for farming?

I killed the DLC boss and quit the game. Then I went back to the game, but I can't get the thing to open.

Edit: I'm on PS3.

It should open automatically. Did you quit before you completed the 'Find Treasure Room' objective?

Dear NeoGaf,

Once again, I had to ask for powerleveling. I would love it if someone spare their free time to powerlevel my zero to level 31.

My Zero is at level 21 and I'm using PS3 version.

Thanks,
IntelliHeath

Why not do a bunch of sidequests or farm a boss multiple times and level up that way? Level 21 is relatively low, shouldn't take too long.

Because I am still working on Gaige and Salvaro atm. I just want to have a shortcut for one time just for Zero.

Just had the weirdest experience in co-op. I was playing as Axton with a friend, and in the middle of a mission I started deploying an invisible turret. It was there, I could reclaim it, and it shot at enemies...but I couldn't see it. My friend could, but I couldn't. Weird, right? Well it didn't end there. Next up was loot. I'd start opening chests and nothing would be there. It wasn't empty, my friend confirmed there were weapons but I couldn't see them and I couldn't pick it up.

Then the worst happened: enemies disappeared. So now it was like fucking Aliens where I'd see all the red dots on my map swarming me but I couldn't see any of them, so I'm yelling at my friend over the mic to guide my shots as I deploy my invisible turret to kill the invisible enemies, and after about ten minutes of that we gave up and turned the game off.

Soooo yeah, that was my night in Borderlands.

You could reboot the system or just quit and save. Usually, it would be best solution.

Has anyone else had a zone level suddenly skyrocket above your level? I'm in the middle of pt2 with my Level 42 Gunzerker, and I just entered Tundra Express (
gotta light the varkids to wake up Mordecai
) and all the mobs are suddenly level 50 or above. In contrast, the zone before this had mobs scaled around level 36.

could someone explain the exact mechanics behind anarchy? because i feel like something is wrong. i'm constantly losing stacks without reloading, emptying my clip doesn't seem to actually give me stacks all the time, and at level 12 or 13 i don't think i've gone past 30 stacks.

I still haven't figured out why that is. I moved to a pistol, which seems to be working fine based on the Anarchy description. Also, put a point into discord. If it starts going down, just prematurely/manually reload again to stop it from going down.

There is a bug where it acts as if you manually reload anytime you empty a clip when you join someone elses game.

How about losing stacks from a previous save whenever you join games? Is that also a glitch?

Nope, it's meant to be something you build up on your current playthrough, not something you get up to 600 and keep it there for days even through exits and restarts.

1920x1080 wallpapers for some of the character intros. Some of these may be a spoiler to those who have yet to beat the game, so beware.

Speaking of which, I found maintaining a high stack count terribly difficult in TVHM. I removed the points I had for extra stacks, and even then I don't think I hit 150 even once for the entire TVHM playthrough.

100 stack is basically making you do 275% of your normal damage without super debilitating accuracy punishment. That's plenty for me for most of the stuff.

Getting Vermivorous, even on the farm, is fucking frustrating. Especially getting multiple Ultimates and not a single one wants to transform. I just want my Zerker class mod goddamit.

So I'm looking at this and I'm wondering, what do the +5s do? Does this mean I wouldn't need to pour in skill points into those skills anymore? Or are there unseen values that go past the level 5 skill cap?

it would add +5 to those skills. so if you had them maxed, they would be level 10.

Threshers have to be the most annoying thing to fight in this game...that whole digging through the ground shit and randomly appearing pisses me off

Main reason I don't go through castic caverns alot.

As a healing specced Siren I hate them a lot because I can't pull them from the ground to start some healing. But they hate my Conference Call just a little bit more.

So Gaige's legendary mod doesn't have red wording with extra abilities like the rest huh. Still way better than her Slayer of Terra mod though.
edit: Also, I didn't know that Vermi drops these, I got my Siren one the very first time I fought Terra, it was in one of the two chests after the fight, I thought it was a compulsory chest drop.

Yeah, dying more, and the drain on anarchy when you go into FFYL sucks.

For my mechromancer, I go with high anarchy count. Try to get it up to 150 at least. I pair that with high pellet shotguns (13-15 pellets per hit), as high damage as I can find - accuracy not important. Preferably something that only has one shot per clip. Then the ricochet skill maxed. Then the refill your shield by killing the enemy maxed out to 100% refill. Then paired with as high a turtle shell as I can find with as low as a cooldown as I can find.

Gets to a point where you are just manically running up and one-shotting enemies in their face to replenish your shields as fast as possible. Fun as hell.

One fun part of this build is that for airborne enemies, it actually often becomes more effective to shoot into the ground to hit them then trying to actually aim at them, especially rak.
