and I have no other quests, should I find somewhere to farm before taking on that mission?
Also, to those who have finished the game, is there reason to cover all the parts of these various areas? There's land I've never touched since missions never sent me near it, but it's like half the map of parts. Enemies and (especially) weapons don't scale up right?
I'd say the arenas are probably more difficult than the level listed compared to just rolling around the landscape finding stuff to kill. Simply because you fight so many enemies in an enclosed space. Even if you're four levels above, it can be hard because there's so many enemies within five feet of you.
If you can, do other stuff of the same level, then come back to the arenas later. Makes them quite a bit easier.
And don't play with people who run back into the arena while you're trying to restock on ammo and health kits.
has just betrayed me
Sniping Baron whatever in the Salt Flats before he even makes his way down seems kinda unfair. And yet I've done it to how many bosses...

You can also farm. Find an area with enemies you can kill easily but give you a good amount of XP. There's a couple areas that spawn "high level" Skags early on, where you can just get up high and kill them before they get to you. (Depending on class.) And there's a couple locations where you can do this and the Skags can never even get close.Razorskin said:

You can only have one perk on at a time, but it saves it still so that you can always switch between them.

This is on the skills screen to the left of the action skill icon btw.
You guys are so silly. On the one hand somebody's worried that the game won't have content for people at level 50 (which it probably will), on the other hand somebody's worried that they will raise the level cap (which it almost definitely won't). Let's all lose our heads over stuff the other person didn't even say :lol

How do I go in a second playthrough ? I've done all the quest I could find and my lvl 37 Hunter is kinda bored in an empty world now...
Do I have to start a new game and then select my previous character ?

start single player game. Select the hunter, choose "playthrough 2"
kill things
Usually those wanting higher end content also want a level cap increase. I guess you're a paradox then. Higher end content will come esp. with Randy talking about a return to old haven. I would expect we'll see something in the coming months... I just wouldn't expect it right away.Shoogoo said:

Any word on a PS3 patch to fix the audio/framerate bugs?

I can't believe that audio bug went through.
Either Sony cert. looked the other way so the PS3 version would come out the same day as the 360 version, or Gearbox QC is a bunch of 12 year olds.

This is my favorite game since Crackdown. It's like videogame crack. I can't play it enough.
What's even better is the fact that my gf has never played a console game before but is now hooked. She has gone from a total newbie to skilled gamer in a matter of days. We have been playing at least 2 - 3 hours a day for the last week.
And for anyone who has only played the single player component - try out co-op. It takes the game to a whole new level.
I'll gladly buy any DLC or sequels in the future.

I wish this game had more cutscenes. And I rarely wish that.
It's just the ones that it DID have were freaking cool looking, and the art design makes cutscenese really awesome looking.

Managed to Platinum this just. Last Trophy I needed was the play a Gearbox person or someone who had that trophy. Thought it was gonna be tough but got it on my first multi game.

I just wish I could play some more of this game. I felt like a kid in front of a ton of cookies when I got it. Now I've seen it all, finished it 5 times with 3 characters and honestly I've had enough of farming New Haven. I want a place where I can put my guns to their best use!
I'm just irritated that I have to put the game aside for now
. I would play it to death if there was a point. Guess I burned myself a bit.

Hide behind one of the stone pillars and he can do basically no damage to you. He soaks up bullets but he'll go down eventually.

Try Siren, an end-game Siren with quicksilver (+class-mod quicksilver) is absolutely brutal.

Edit: Answer is a few posts up. :lol
I'm pretty sure there isn't one... I could be wrong though.Foliorum Viridum said:Sorry to ask a question that is probably quite common, but trying to look through such a big thread for an answer is insanity.
Is there a point of no return in this game like there was originally in Fallout 3? If so, can someone give me a vague idea of when that is so I'm prepared and done everything I can? Cheers!
Just be careful when you join online games though. Sometimes when a guy is further ahead in the story than you are it may throw off your own quests a bit.

Wait until you get to 2.5.
I've been having horrible luck with finding Anarchies. I'm still using a 93x4, 30 accuracy, 13.8 rate of fire Anarchy that I found when I was level 40. I've farmed New Haven a bunch and I haven't seen one can beat it.

Roland becomes interesting when you ditch the oh-so-useless deploy tree and work your way around the other ones.
Everytime i kill somebody, my fire rate goes up and my accuracy with said gun also goes up. Not only that, my health recharges plus a % of the damage i do comes back as health for me. I'm pretty much unstoppable.

My Hunter ignore enemioes' shield now. My Sniper rifle is like 98 in precision and I'm all my stuff and my skills are dedicated to critical shots. I can one shot every human on Pandora. It feel so good man.
But when it comes to creatures with none-obvious weak point, it's another story... :lol

Hawkian said:What's so bad about the turret? When I eventually went for a soldier I was going to spec that thing out
The soldier just has no coherent tree that makes him great. I ditched my soldier at about 39, just was so underpowered and lame compared to my siren and esp compared to my sniper.
my lvl 46 soldier rolls through everything. it's so easy, if you say the soldier sucks, then playing with the other classes isn't even a game.
having first aid, overload, metalstorm, deploy and damage/health/shield increases is so broken with a support gunner class mod.
unload a 129 shot magazine of 250 dmg machine gun in 4 seconds? check. never run out of ammo? check. never dying since turret + pancea shield means +15% health/sec? check.
it's an "i will never lose" build.

Got a question for anyone who unlocked the
achievement or has the strategy guide.
I am pretty sure I completed all missions (main and side) that would have unlocked that achievement, but I didnt get it. I cross checked my mission log with a list of the missions that I need to do to get the achievement and I did them all, but no achievement. Could someone please take a look at the list below and let me know if I am missing any?
Thanks so much!!!!
