I think he's just not fitting my play style, and I end up dying a lot. Maybe I just haven't figured out how to play him, but it's kind of late for that at level 42.

Well we tend to use SSDs. Wouldn't the difference be moot if you used an SSD with a PS360? (assuming that's possible)

I played Axton on my 1st+2nd playthrough, and I never felt like his skills were lacking. His skills actually add a good mix of damage and sustainability. Slag-rounds + rocket pod for the turret chews through peeps (even those shielded pricks).
That build looks really bad. A single turret that's specced deep into the guerilla tree already performs the purpose of this build (longbow doubles turret hp, which makes it optimal for tanking duty).
If you want to be a slag-toting infectoid yourself, just get a Slagga and you're set. No need to alter your skill tree, run around in gunfire and begging to get killed.
Skill-point allocation is also very poor. No points in HP-boosts/Able even though he is supposedly expecting to take damage, he has +5 cooldown reduction, despite stating that the build isn't turret- centric. Also, Grit is a terrible skill, and basing the crux of your survivability in a single RNG- effect is deemed to result in getting you downed very often. He probably realized this and thus he dumped 5 points in Last Ditch Effort.
It honestly feels like that he intended this to be a Gunzerker- build, but he lost himself in a drunken stupor and mistook Axton as the Gunzerker.

It only increases it to 40% max and even then it is still shit.
Maybe i looked at it wrong, ill check when i get home. Why would they put that poop skill at the bottom. I love axton but his late game is kinda shitty compared to salvador

I'm tempted to disagree but I'm not sure if it's due to bias. I have both characters level 50, and I still prefer Axton over Sal. While Sal performs the tanking duty admirably(+ awesome uppercut), I find myself missing the utility that the turret provides and the multitude of steroids that Axton has at his disposal (most of them are at the first row of his skill trees as well, making them easy to pick up).

That's with a standard Samsung F3 HDD. Pretty good.

Awesome. Thanks again, guys!
I notice that axton is a mid range player and i like that about him but i find his bottom(tier 4-5?) Skills laking big time. Yeah if i spec him with top skills all across the board then he is very good kinda like a jack of all trades. I really like some of his survival skills though dual turrets with shield is soo good.

Farmed Knuckle dragger about 50 times to no avail looking for the Hornet. Really wish the orange loot drop rates were just a little bit higher.
naw I wish, especially smoke grenades. It really could work with a game like this especially if your using zer0's deception

Anyone on Steam want to play right now?
I'm just collecting them all in one link for future reference(until the 4th anyways). Thanks you guys for nabbing all of these today.

I love the free BLC skins but why are they calling them "spooky" skins?

Reload, they only seem to be added one at a time to your inventory.
I think you get one every time you load up a character.

Game crashed just as Master Gee died. I literally almost threw my chair.
edit: son of a bitch it happened again. It crashes every time I defeat him??

Well, time to go searching for those 48 hour Xbox trials.
Same thing you do for hyperious you do for Master Gee apparently. When you beat him make sure you have your back to him...it's weird but thats what Ive been hearing lately. Like when you know he is about to fall down and die turn around
Someone posted a workaround a while back in here that worked for one of my friends (I haven't tried it yet) where if you pause the game right when he dies and then unpause that may prevent it from freezing. The looking away thing has never worked for me personally, still always freezes for me and at least one of my friends.

hide your water-based mammals
Tried the SweetFX mod and needless to say, I'm very impressed by the results in this game. It may not be for every game but damn if the game doesn't pop more with this. Some sample shots with the 25/50/25 screenshot split....
I have to mess with sharpness as I toned it up so it has more jaggies that way but the vibrancy is apparent. The middle is the area with the effects on, of course.

If you're playing solo, you need to have the last shot so don't let the corrosive pool kill him. If you're playing coop, the host needs to have the last shot.
Oh yeah, have your back facing him when he dies.
It's crashed on me twice too. I still have 0/1 "feed master gee to his worms" even though ive successfully got him a few times. Is that because his poison is killing him?
Pretty sure that challenge can't be achieved by most since the fight itself is glitched.

Back with two more with SweetFX across the entire image this time. Lowered sharpness and added 4xMSAA plus SMAA....

Wasn't there something in the config files you can change to make those black outer lines go away? Nice shots, btw.

yeah, in WillowEngine.ini to turn off the black outline find:
DefaultPostProcessName=WillowEngineMaterials.WillowScenePostProcess
and change it to:
DefaultPostProcessName=WillowEngineMaterials.RyanScenePostProcess
It hung for me when I just used 1 acid pool and left the game for 1 h+.
But when I used 5 pools, it only took 15 mins to kill him and there didn't seem to be any problem whatsoever.

JUST beat Hyperius. Solo with Maya. Feels damn good.
I was able to kill him first before killing any of his robots.
I looked online and saw someone using a smart strategy and decided to see if I could duplicate it.
First, these were my main weapons:
Then, when it came to damaging the robots, I used these:
In terms of the strategy, in the beginning, I would go up to him and reload/throw the SMG about 2-3 times before he hit me with the Nova blast (I have my bee equipped btw with 50k amp damage). When he hits me with the first blast, I switched to this shield:
After he does his 2nd blast, I just barely survive but thanks to the skill "Sustenance", I'm recovering my health.
While, recovering, I'm circling Hyperius and using the phaselock skill "Converge" on him to pull all 4 robots towards him. You'll have to do it a few times to make sure they're close enough. Not only does it pull them together, but the skill also destroys any missiles the robots shot at you. Make sure you 5/5 the skill, Quicken, so you can Phaselock often.
When everyone was together, that's when I switched back to the Bee and started to use that rocket launcher I posted above. When ammo for that ran out, I switched to my AR. Magazine size was about 100 I believe since I put points into "Foresight." Proceeded to shoot away at the group...using "Converge" whenever I was able to, while still circling around. When I saw that he was getting ready to use his blast, I would switch back to my other shield to make sure I survived. After I felt safe, it was back to the Bee.
When Hyperius lost his shield, I started the reload/throw with the SMG again. The 4 robots were still dazed or whatever you wanna call it so all my attention was on him. He eventually jumped at me and put me in FFYL...but because he had such low health at that point, I was able to kill him with a few more SMG throws while I was down, which caused me to get a second wind.
Each of the 4 robots were about halfway dead so it was a matter of circling once again and using my AR/SMG (whatever remained in the SMG) to take them out...still using Converge. They couldn't do anything.
I also had this grenade that I used in between phaselock (which basically did the same as Converge):
I also have a class mod with +94% SMG gun damage/-24 SMG accuracy with +5 in Accelerate that I believe I equipped at the end to take care of the robots.
I'm sure people have seen/heard of this strategy, and if not, then I hope this can help you out. The loot I got was ass btw lol. 7 crystals and garbage equipment.
I haven't seen any videos of Master Gee but from what I've read, he's a complete bitch. Looking forward to that battle....
