I think this is my third Orange weapon now. I found Sledge's Shotgun as well and I'm pretty sure I had another Orange weapon, but I can't remember what it is.

OK, just hit level 25 with a friend and we found our first orange, a shotgun (which I can't remember the name of but the red text was "Kiki got a shotgun") that during reload is thrown out and homes in on enemies, shooting at them Very Happy

Totally mad and funny, but mainly awesome. I still want an orange weapon to use for myself though.

I would've found about 15 orange guns by this level in Borderlands 1 Sad

The arena at the Natural Selection Annex was pretty insane, started round 1 at level 21 and ended round 5 at level 25. Those threshers really pack a punch.

Hehe, sorry, I was running around with a "test" character anyway. Not sure if that caused it or not.

Got this only after 8 tries, time to start playthrough 2 for real

8 tries of what?

That shield seems to completely break the game, I wouldn't be surprised if they nerf it in a later patch.

Guess I should have invested in more weapon upgrade slots, instead of choosing to keep my ~70 iridium bars? Confused

What are you doing saving the iridium for? Go spend it! Or are you planning on getting high on that stuff with Lilith?


how so ? You only get the bonus when your shield is full, which quite frankly is never the case anyway, except at the very beginning of combat.

With some decent weapons, the beginning is all you need; quad shottie with x18 multiplier - amp damage added to each pellet - heyooo! Very Happy

Level 38 now and super badass psychos etc. get shredded before they can even reach me. Against larger groups of weaker enemies it's not as good, I'll give you that, but there's nothing stopping you from carrying a backup shield for those. Against bosses and other single enemies with large HP pools, it is insanely overpowering.

I like that the game reminds you to don't get to cocky about your powers and rapes your ass once you did it.

and yes, used a couple golden keys, since the game flat out refuses to drop me anything usable for the last 10 levels and i wasnt able to kill shit for as long (only my turret was able to do anything). So , in your face, game !

SO you cheated? Or am I understanding it incorrectly.

I guess I'm lucky, most of teh loot I get is very nice. I didn't have to use any weapon for too long. Are the drops/loot randomized?

i guess its cheating.

But its gearbox dumb decision, to make good loot only available when you play with others. Playing alone you're basicly fucked and hardly ever find anything useful.

Yesterday i tried the 4 player mod and, while i got my ass kicked with my old crap weapons, suddenly purples started dropping left and right ...

Im fine with there being more loot with 4 players (more to share) but BETTER loot ? fuck that. They are forcing me to play with others to get useful loot , no thanks.

Go kill a boss or something, turn on the mod and try again. If it's harder, it's working.
It's working fine to me.

You can also try traveling.. it will do a countdown like in multiplayer instead of instantly loading.

I got a sniper rifle from the bandit slaughter dome round 5 using the 4player mode. I haven't got anything as good for the next 12 levels when I wasn't using the mode, so it works.

Works just fine for me. I've played solo every single second since installation and I've found MAD loot! Tons and tons and tons of it, it's awesome ^_^ Did I mention the rapid-firing, infinite ammo wielding, no reloading required super pistol I found?

Might want to mentally prepare to farm for it twice, the lvl 50 version is something else:

Hell, it's bad enough farming for it once Sad I've fought "the guy" four times last night, he dropped nothing, and then - for some reason - he just stopped appearing. I'm going to try again today.

That's always been the way in all the loot-driven aRPGs. Diablo, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, Titan Quest, Borderlands, Hellgate London --- the more players, and higher difficulty, the better the loot that drops.

Isn't that pistol a quest reward? I got it for turning in the Dr. Mercy quest but I had to give up a E-tech gun for it. (Mission sort of works like a tutorial for those weapons.)

EDIT: Clearing up the final side quests now before finishing the game, finally starting to see some higher level equipment. Very Happy


(I don't remember what I got this from, some reward to Tannis I think, has no scope, bolt-action.)

(This was from some robot trying to humanize himself, it's OK, shots bounce all over.)

(This was one of Markus rewards for finding some money for him, shoots small missiles or some such.)

(This dropped from Mortar, it's OK but will also often bounce back towards you.)

Okay, does anyone know the correct procedure for farming bosses/enemies? Please? I've been trying to take out "that guy" to get the Bee shield, but he doesn't appear after the first kill. I FT back to Sanctuary and to other areas, then go back to Arid Boneyard but nothing... he just doesn't show up again.

~edit~

Ah, quitting to menu/reloading does it each time.

Elemental resistance is the best by far, but The Bee is for pure damage dealing like a mofo.. and I want that for bosses.

Dude, I hate to burst your bubble, Wink but I get great stuff SP compared to MP...

Try playing with my friend, every damn chest.box. is opened by him and raped.
You will get only shit from vending machines.
He will literally sacrifice his ass to get to that box and if he dies its your fault...

I was lucky to find a Purple/Pink colored weapon that shoots small dots at a monster then a few seconds later they explode and burn the enemy...

I hate that STUPID consumes 2 or 3 bullets per shot... Im going to Mod this one day, but first Im going to play el-natural this time through...
Also I always get my save conflict with Cloud services so I upload every time I play...WTF...

Doesn't that mean your friend is a dick?

Does anyone know what elemental damage lab rats are vulnerable to? The spawnrate in the fridge is insane and those bastard eat a lot bullets (lvl 22 lab rats). I tried slag, electric, corrosive, burn, nothing helps.

Lab Rats just have a lot of damage soak any way, no matter which element you hit them with, so just pile on the fire and leave them to burn. Electric is no good due to lack of shields, same with Corrosive and armour, whereas fire usually has the most base damage.

Guys, I need to be sure that the 4-player tool in 1-player game thingiemajig works.

Launch Borderlands 2, continue your game, alt-tab, open the tool,drag the slider to 4 players and et voila, you're done?

Yes, then just use a fast travel terminal to confirm, it'll have a four second delay if it worked correctly. Smile
(More enemies will spawn as well and stronger variants of these will be a bit more common.)

One of the issues in borderlands is that items are weighted heavily toward reward chests which people can just dive for, which is a pretty big mistake. Obviously the developers never played borderlands 1 in cooperative with randoms..
Unlike diablo 2, you have very little chance of being near enough to have a chance at grabbing loot. So it's 100% first come first served, which promotes shitty loot diving.

When I play with my friends, we establish rules around looting because no one really enjoys playing vulture styles.

What this game really needs is chest traps, so the suckers that loot dive die first Very Happy
