I got linked a revolver with no reloads and infinite ammo. I'm not sure what to think.

I feel kinda retarded, but why can't i find a way to turn on ironsight toggle vs hold on pc?
They said pc gamers are suppose to be pleased right?

They are most certainly more forgiving this time around. The critical areas seem to be much bigger.
Man they really did improve the gun drops. I'm only level 8 and I'm struggling with my 2 weapon slots because I have a great sniper rifle, this badass combat rifle that shoots missiles instead of bullets and a mix of pretty good shotguns, pistols and another good combat rifle.
They weren't great. They were definitely not in the top tier of weapons by a long shot, no matter which spec you built towards. For the most part pistols pretty much destroyed sniper rifles in just about every category. Pistols destroyed just about everything, though.

Wait, what!? Someone god a drop with those effects and linked you the screenshot? Not sure what you mean by linked. That gun is going to be crazy fun if not a carpal tunnel enducing machine.

I was able to play for 15 minutes this morning and got to level 4 and found a new pistol. I wish I hadn't played because now I can't stop thinking about it, and I'm stuck at work for many more hours =(
Times like this I reminisce back to being a college student and only having one class a day and having the rest of the day free.
Everyone else who's in either grade school or working and not playing hooky is in the same boat D:
This is why you push ahead to a checkpoint when you want to quit.

I only have a single GTX 480 and I've only tried PhysX on Medium, but I've never dipped below 60fps with all other settings maxed out at 1080p and the particles look incredible.

Ah, Borderlands 2. Magic.
I played about an hour last night after it went live.
Intro was better than BL1 in every way except the song was far inferior to no rest for the wicked.
Lots of humor and those 4 armed things are a lot of fun to fight. I do wish you started with your class ability. I am trying a siren this time but a gunzerker is really tempting.
Is there a way to see your frame rate in game?

To me, it certainly seems they went the way of 'less is more'. I've found probably a quarter of the chests I would have in time played compared to BL1. I like it this way, it makes everything feel much more substantial.
Huh? a good Oryan, Invader, and Skullmasher could easily out DPS any other weapon in the game as long as you're a good shot.

They sent me a PM in steam with a picture of the stats and told me that it did that. In the first game there was repeater pistol that did the same, so it's not to strange that this game has something similar. I'm on my phone I'll try and find the pic of it when I get home.
What do you mean?
No they weren't. Both Gunslinger or Gunfighter mod Mordecai builds with mashers and revolvers had higher DPS and required far less aim, not to mention were way better and handling large groups.

Totally missed that item in the first game. Was there semi auto pistols with no fire rate in BL1? I feel like the first revolver I picked up I could shoot faster than most other guns in BL1. Maybe the hammer slapping action just makes it feel cooler/faster.
They're working now. Verify your game cache.
I think I found one but it wasn't very good. But yeah so far there's definitely been a shortage of those.
That's the signature mechanic of Jakobs guns, actually. They're all semi-auto and have no limits on fire rate. (Makes me want to bind my mouse wheel to fire like in Counter-Strike!)

Bind fire to mousewheel or something if that's possible.

They aren't limited by any kind of rate of fire. If you could click or press the button 100 times in 1 second and the revolver had a big enough clip it would fire all those rounds. The trade off is that for each round fired the gun becomes less accurate up to a point. Adding a shot gun style behavior to would make the revolver wildly inaccurate.

I love reading all of the awesome impression in here! I am going to pick up my Ultimate Loot Chest in about an hour during my lunch break and I can't wait. It's going to be a rough afternoon at work!

I have played BL1 to completion twice and all the DLC and I never really noticed the no fire rate limit aspect of Jackobs. But I guess that was a problem with BL1, not enough distinction between guns. Well, either way, cool stuff. All the guns look and feel so much better, can't be said enough. And that is coming from BL1 which had pretty great guns.

If I remember right the repeater I'm talking about was called the Dove and had 3-shot burst fixed rate of fire. I don't think there were any guns in BL1 that behave like the revolvers in this do.
That makes no sense. When I click 'Save and Quit' there is no mention of 'hey we're going to make you replay through the ENTIRE level just to get back to where you were'.

They're so satisfying to kill though.
That "plop" once they fall dead to the ground is great.
Shotgun most definitely...once Lady Luck decides to give me a decent one.
My chance with drops has not been so hot thus far.
A great one shouldn't be too far off hopefully...

Has anyone on Steam gotten the one from signing up for gearbox's shift website? I got the premier club one but even though I'm signed into Shift, I have not gotten a second after signing up.
EDIT: Got it to work. Do not link your steam account on the website first. Have to link it ingame. Weird oversight.
What? It works the exact same way it did in the first game. That makes perfect sense. It would make no sense if they randomly decided to change the save mechanic.

Anyone going to sp through game?
I'll probably do mostly SP since I play so infrequently. I played through BL1 and all the DLC totally SP so my body is ready.

So since I have to wait a few more hours for my Amazon order to show up, I go to like 4 different Redbox locations that say that they have Borderlands 2 on the website, but when I went to each of them, they were all sold out. 
I'm really tempted to pick it up from Walmart or something and then just return my Amazon copy or something :lol

Most dungeon crawler type games are like this. Diablo etc...
It's not so much about plowing through content as it is grinding and leveling up
It should be under gameplay and so should crouch toggle. Took me a while to find it.
