The Sheriff in Lynchwood drops it. The Rubi is a lot better for healing purposes though.Awesome, thanks. Looks like I trashed my level 40-something Law though

Cool, got her to drop a 48 one first kill. Thanks.
Just copy your profile data to a flash drive. Use all golden keys, copy your profile data back to ps3 and bam all golden keys are back and you still have all loot, no need to wait on keys anymore.
You can hide behind the concrete barrier at the entrance after you die the first time. According to the wiki, he also has a bunch of critical spots you can destroy to stop some of his attacks.
Just be sure to update the file every now and then because your Badass Rank is also stored in the profile data.
Exactly I just use for quick runs, then update it when I'm done with the play session.
Thanks for the tip. Im still not sure why they are so stingy with the keys. You can collect a decent stash of keys in a month, but you have to pay very close attention to the postings on various social media or orcz. I have used the keys at lvl 50 and various other levels when I could not find decent weapons leveling, killing bosses or opening big chests.
I dont see how giving out more keys would break the game, personally I think it would make the game more enjoyable when leveling up with a new character. The golden chest is a good way to bridge the gap when you get stuck on a difficult boss and it fills a need when the loot system spits out useless weapons for your character. The golden chest was a good idea and allowing players of all levels to use it more often, would keep people playing longer on various characters, not make them to stop playing because they got a few nice weapons. For me in loot based games, loot is like a drug and in BL2, the gap between the next score is too long imo.
Remember that the Rubi heals 12.5 percent of damage done into health. ALSO keep in mind that The Bee will amp that too. Meaning you can get full energy from a shot or two with the Rubi and a crit hit. That's what I use for on the run healing.
I think that people don't realize what The Bee amps in addition to just ammo.
Edit - It amps vehicle shots, too. For those who didn't realize that either.

He's a raid boss, meaning he is leveled for 4 player regardless how many are actually playing. And like the other raid bosses he is cheap as hell and no fun to battle without 4 people with full elite gear.
I managed to get him down to about and inch of his life before trying to revive only gave me a second or two. Lawl
actually he's a lot more managable than the other raid bosses, and can easily be beaten with two people
What's the proper strategy for beating him with two players? A friend and I tried it yesterday (commando and mechro) and got our asses handed to us even though we can beat Terramorphous with relative ease.
My friend mains Commando with Dual turrets / rocket pods. I've beaten Pyro Pete with him using a siren, gunzerker, mechromancer and commando.
first is to know how to beat him, i assume you understand that his fire/corrosive nova will continue to damage you until you die, unless you spawn the water torrent and "rinse off".
Secondly, each time you spawn the torrent, it will spawn rats or spiderants respectively, depending on which valve you use. The enemies will start at level 45 (in TVHM) and gain 3 levels each time you use it, up until level 66 I believe.
The minions that spawn when you do this, can dish out a lot of damage, and can get out of hand if you don't handle it properly. First, manage the valves smartly. I find the spiderants easier overall to deal with cause they don't have guns, making it more difficult for them to damage you. But if you are in a pinch, spawn the lower level minions. (Generally, my friend and I go for the spiderants, regardless)
Anyways, the overall strategy that we use is one person needs to be able to reliably kill the minions when they are spawned. This can be done with a Deathtrap (with explosive clap) a couple of high damage singularity grenades, high damage rocket launcher, and (what we used) dual commando turrets with rocket pods.
Also, try to have at least one person always slagging pyro pete, it makes the battle much faster, and obviously, use a high damage electric weapon to de-shield him. (Slag + tediore electric reload can de shield him rapidly)
For commando / mechro strategy, use your turrets and deathtrap only when you need to clear out minions and draw fire away from your character. Death trap will do insignificant damage to pyro pete, and works better against the small enemies and as a damage sponge. Kite pyro pete and avoid getting melee'd by him as it does a lot of damage and can de-shield you instantly, making his DOT attacks kill you very rapidly. If one player goes down, and the other probably won't be able to revive him/her, spawn some enemies. If you have a rocket launcher, you can get a second wind pretty easily.
Another thing to note is that Pyro Pete tends to nova after you deal a certain amount of damage to him, so if you and a friend need to recover / wait for cooldown, try to just run around and not damage him until you're ready to reliably kill the minions spawned from the valves
Hopefully this is relatively clear / helpful, if not I'll try to be more concise
pro-tip: fire / corrosive immune shields do work against his novas, and can make a BIG difference. My friend and I were lucky to have fire immune Bee shields.
edit: if all else fails, I can help you out if you want if you're on x360
So, I came back to the game after dropping it at lvl 15 and I'm wondering, was the DLC ever discounted yet? Or am I just better off getting the season pass now as it's not likely to go down anytime soon?
Also, a more important question - does the level of the DLC content adjust to your level on the first playthrough or is it fixed? When during the course of the regular campaign should I tackle the DLC? And does the DLC feature both a regular and TVHM, or can I do it only once on my character?
I'm sure those questions have been answered before, but digging throug the thread(s) to find the answers... Thanks in advance, GAF

If i remember, the season pass got a significant discount during the winter sale, but I don't think it applies anymore.
I don't think the DLC levels scale to your current level, I think the ideal level is just after you beat your first playthrough (level 30-35ish).
DLC levels will also scale once you hit TVHM and Playthrough 2.5
All that money coming in from that Aliens game is finally paying off.
The DLC does scale, but within certain ranges depending on the playthrough. The max for playthrough 1 is level 30.

Hit level 50 and beat the warrior on tvhm. Now onto the dlc and maybe some raid bosses.
I hope it's with the next DLC. I have 2 characters at 50 and 3 others in the high 30s. I'd really like a reason to keep using them.
same. no point in playing if you can't level up anymore.
anyways gonna start a new game with a mechromancer

It should, it's a Steamplay title.
Doubtful they will. Many people like to feel they are playing in god mode against weaker enemies or because they have great gear. With the best gear on a new character, you can get the same feeling. If you have the whole game scale, you take this mechanic away.
They already went a little too far with the bullet sponge enemies and many have complained, doubtful they will make it worse in the next game. People farm for hours to find the best gear, so they can feel more powerful and slaughter enemies with ease. Auto scaling all enemies takes this feeling away. If you take it away, the grind for weapons and gear becomes pointless, and the endgame is a waste of time.
Countless loot games have made the same mistake, if you gain little power farming at max level or the amount of time needed to find an upgrade is too high, the game will die quickly. I think it is a big problem now after all the nerfs they have made with legendaries and skills. Even with good gear there was too many normal enemies in the latest dlc that can kill you before you have much time to react. For a game with billions of guns, I found myself upgrading very little leveling up and at max level. I upgraded much more often playing BL1.
Perhaps vault hunter extreme mode.
I dont mind another difficulty level, but the rewards would have to make it worth the extra challenges. D3 suffered this same fate on release when the players made it to inferno. If you are unfamiliar with the mess that was D3 inferno, read just a few pages about the issue. You will see how fast a high risk with little reward system destroys the fanbase and game.
Dont get me wrong Im not asking for great loot to drop like trash, but if you put in hours of farming/playing, you should see some rewards for putting in the time. If a small group of hardcore players find the game too easy with great gear, they can always use subpar or underlvl weapons to give themselves more of a challenge. Some hardcore players finish Dark Souls at level 1 using the starter weapon, but very few would find this fun or play the game long, if they were forced to play this way. People who say the game is too easy while sporting heavily modded gear or the best items in the game, are laughable. Take the gear off and the game wont be easy. In a loot driven game, devs always have to find the line between risk vs reward. People play loot games to see nice drops, if you make the odds for an item to drop on the same level of winning the lottery, very few will want to waste the time.

a little confused but if i read this right i still saved (a lot) by getting season pass but i did not get the Mecro? guess im fine with that since she is so annoying
Haven't gotten a chance to play Diablo 3 but I experienced some of that in WoW when I played higher end raid levels. Basically made a "god-tier" of equipment beyond the Orange that vaporizes the baddies to goo. Of course, who knows what their % of the drop would be on the loot. All I'm saying is given the game, it would be nice if you could just keep playing and even the loot would scale in terms of what you got. Still though, if they had a crafting system in-game where you could make things that were 20 levels above where you were at and could evolve as you did, you could keep the cool stuff you made. It doesn't seem like rocket science to me.
Minus Hammerlock, which was the worst of the three post-game DLC anyway, so far.
It just was the worst of the three DLCs. No hate here, just super short and not as fun to play/
I don't understand either, I honestly enjoyed Hammerlock quite a bit. The witch doctors are a real bitch to fight, but hey, it IS something different.

anyone actually use the add-on disc for xbox 360? it would appear the shipped product is entirely broken and may even need a product recall. lots of complaints in the official forum, main issues are inability to access torques dlc campaign through fast travel and upon closer examination by a forum poster they shed light on the possibility it was not included on the final disc. also not being able to use weapons/mission items in the pirates dlc. surprised it hasn't been mentioned at all here considering the size of the fuck up, $30 for a doa item.
