Hm. I already did that I think. To unlock the use of the vehicle? Are you sure that's the one? I figured it would be something like "Kill Bone Head. And Tell Him I Hate Him."

This is incorrect. The artifacts themselves have levels. If you pick up one that is higher level than you currently have you can use it and upgrade your level. If it is same level or lower it will tell you you can't use it. You can see the levels by going into the character menu and clicking the element diamond in the top left. The list will show you which elements you've picked up and what level each of them are.

Unbreakable definitely works, but not exactly as the description states (which I believe is an error in the description, not the intended effect...could be wrong, though).Lord Phol said:Yeh there's nothing quite as orgasmic in the gaming world as seeing the amount of punish you're dealing out depicted as a bunch of colored numbers popping up, even the font they use pleases me somehow.
Edit: A small head's up on what's not working at the moment. From what I can gather from the official forums the following talents are as of now not working: Phase Strike, Silent Resolve, Unbreakable, Pay Back, and Revive.
Hopefully it will be patched!
When your shield goes down it most certainly does insta-charge up again, but it doesn't happen EVERYTIME...it happens probably something like once a minute or some other reasonable timeframe.
It's definitely doing its thing, though.

I think those 2 purple CRs are much better than those crappy orange shotgun/repeater everywhere
and this proves solo indeed will drop awesome weapons
EDIT: there are totally 4 red chests in the final passage to

What chest was this?Jonsoncao said:

So does the red message ever really mean anything or is it just for Shiggs?
BenjaminBirdie said:
It's a cryptic bonus that the weapon has.
Edit: Here's what some of them mean. Go down to "Effects"
It's in Red, it must mean something

Rocket launchers and missile shooting shotguns are bad? News to me. I've been using 'em constantly with Brick (even when I didn't invest any skill points in his explosive specialized perks) and they deal plenty of damage. Don't bother with the ones that shoot multiple rockets at once however, be it in a triangle-like shape or in quick succession. They're usually unwieldy / finnicky and you'll just waste ammo if you use the latter ones.
Also, to the PC crowd: of course you have to forward ports and whatnot. This has always been the case with games that use the peer-to-peer system rather than dedicated servers (where you don't have to worry about ports). If you cannot connect to a specific friend, your (or his) NAT condition is probably set to Strict or Moderate and so you can forget about playing co-op with each other until you either configure your settings correctly or find someone else in your group to host. It probably isn't the game's fault if you can't join each other's lobby in other words.
Do agree with the fact that GameSpy was a poor choice on Gearbox' end on the other hand, which is most likely responsible for extra connection conflicts. Should've just gone with Games for Windows Live at the very least if Steamworks didn't work out for Borderlands.

All of my friends that I'd like to be playing coop with but can't because it doesn't work, missed the second set of quests from him and went straight after bonehead. I missed it at first too, went after bonehead, got brutally defeated, and realized I must have missed some quests. I think that happens because you're doing one quest at a time up until that point, and for me the bonehead one was the one that was highlighted after going to that board where you get the bonehead quest.

That sniper might actually be pretty sweet. The damage is low, but it has burst fire and is accurate enough that you could get like 3 crits with one pull of the trigger.Jonsoncao said:

I'm around 15, and I don't find too many quests.
The only place where I found quests, right now, are:
I have 2 or 3 quests left, only, to do
. Unfortunately, It don't seem to be too many sidequests in this game. Or I can't find them. The map marks another Mission Post Wall in the main area, near the main base, but I can't see it.
The only place where I found quests, right now, are:
- Doctor
- One-legged man
- Mission Post Wall of the initial base
- Guy near the entrance of the Arid Badlands.
- Guy in the arena

Jonsoncao said:do the quest involving "talking to claptrap" as soon as possible, since this kind of quest will allow you to go into new areas, then a questilicious world awaits you
In Fyrestone, obviously take all the missions you can (if you want... since they are side quests) at the main area near Dr. Zed. Past that, you move onto
Dahl
Vehicle combat, intense... freaky intense fire fights and loot that will wet your whistle.
BTW--- I suggest people try re-specing to full Rogue on Hunter as I just picked up an elemental for my bloodwing... which now he lights people on fire providing DOT's, gives me health and I'm 2 points away from him attacking multiple targets. :lol That little guy is so badass.
Also-- If you get into a fire fight you can't win... throwing your bloodwing out at the last minute will give you a free second wind depending on the damage to the baddie. Lovin' this game and need to play co-op with some of you guys here soon.
EDIT: Also--- Best Buy is sold out of this game and it's back ordered. Crazy! :lol
Perhaps my achievements are glitching because I'm playing as the Siren and use nothing but elemental weapons, but haven't unlocked the achievements for 25 elemental kills with each of the elements. I finally unlocked the Corrosive one, but only after hours of playing with my corrosive shotgun and other acid related things. Spent a few hours last night rushing Skag Gully with my Fire SMG and still no 25 kills with fire weapons achievement.
Also didn't get the one for selling 50 guns and I farmed
for a LOOOOONG time this past weekend since my co-op buddy was elsewhere.
I almost have $9 million but still no "sell 50 guns" achievement.
WTF?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Argh, can someone tell me which part of the world Scooter is in so i can shut claptrap up please ?
Uhh, is it me or is there no way to teleport around the world? I'm level 14 and in the Arid Badlands area currently. There seems to be an excessive amount of traveling.
Also, how do the save points work? Which is the one that I will start my game from after I save and quit the game? Those pole-things that light up after you walk past them, what do they signify?

Wait wait wait ....so the vibe i'm getting here is that I should actually SKIP the PC version and go for PS3 instead?

I've found that most encounters can be conquered before you should even be able to by (as level 16 hunter right now):
- sprinting in relatively small circles.
- reloading while doing so.
- waiting for your armor to recharge.
- throwing bloodwing every 28 seconds.
- shooting once or twice every time your armor gets full again.
I've got aim assist turned off and the combat still feels a tad exploitable.
But don't get me wrong, the game's fun as hell. I played five and a half hours yesterday without realizing it. First game I've ever played where I actually tell myself "just one more mission."

Is sprint remappable on console versions?
thanks!
thanks!
Jonsoncao said:
will do.
I've been hounding my cousin to get the game too so I'll be playing with him tonight.
If you're going for single-player, stick with the PC version. Even with the interface annoyances, it plays very well.AgentOtaku said:
For multiplayer, consoles are the way to go. A terrible server browser, Gamespy/firewall issues and client-side character storage really gimps the PC version. GG Pitchford.

If you plan on playing the game over the long term and not just picking it up for a quick play through to move onto something else I would get the PC version. It may have some issues at the moment, but i'm confident the PC community and Gearbox will resolve them. Then we have all the cool mods and add-ons, etc to look forward to. Console gamers also tend to move onto the next big game right away so I expect the community on the PC to have more legs, and a greater variety of players over the long haul.

From what I read on the office gearbox forum, here is a running list off all the collective PS3 issues.
PS3: Server List: If your lucky you will search for a online game and it only pauses like 5-10min if your unlucky it does the same thing but freezes in the 5-10min.
PS3: Crashing: Crashing is random and happens a lot once your server list did load and you join another players server and bang it crashes on load. If your lucky and that went by fine then you end up crashing later on randomly. During a Boss or anything.
PS3: Corrupted Characters: Very rare at this point. More people play the longer their games go the more chance they will get a lag/freeze or the great crash and they will get corrupted characters. It has happen to me once it was just a level 17 character but it was annoying anyways.
PS3: Host low FPS: If you are the host you will get slow downs like crazy. when I say slow downs I mean if I were to guess like 5-10 fps slowdowns when your shooting all you see if flash freeze flash freeze death. It happens since the processing load for the AI i guess ain't being balanced right? Maybe Gearbox is only using 2-3 CPUs?
PS3: Single Player FPS: Not as bad but I also feel like its sort of the same thing with the host part where it slows down like crazy. Not sure if this can be exactly same thing since your local box is controlling the ai.
PS3: Digital Audio: For some reason on the PS3 there is a bug where and I'm no programmer but the audio kicks out like it feels like one the threads process the audio crashes and reboots it. It's not something to die over but very annoying and strange.
PS3: Split Screen: I'm sorry but I don't know what to say. It was bad enough one person lost there character but now you can do 2 at once. This has just the same issues but a lot worse. It feels like GearBox forgot to test this function out. To be fair I'm just letting you know in this post you get the works above but more frequent like crashes fps loss. Not to mention the horrible UI scrolling to see it.
PS3: Friend List: Now I don't know what you did or PSN did wrong here. You did fix it sort of. But I have random crazy people I deleted and removed as my friend that now can see me and I can see them playing and even annoying me by trying join my games.
PS3: Microphone: Now if your using a Bluetooth headset or using a Logitec USB headset we all get cut outs and sometimes where it makes the guy sound like he is going a million miles an hour and the works
PS3: Skills Bug: This bug I think happens on PS3 and 360. This is the issue we have so far. If a players gets kicked during mid save sometimes it messes or changes his save game. The worst thing that has happen is it corrupts the saved game. Best way to stop this is maybe force save and a 5 second pause after it that kick or exit can not take an effect.
It sounds like to me like the PS3 version is complete trash, and gearbox hasn't even acknowledged their are problems. I have the PC version and while it truly is a simple console port with its own problems (Can't connect to multiplayer games, lock ups, GPF errors, crappy FOV, and bad voice chat) its in a little better condition then the PS3.
