My son and I are partially through BL2, I play Zero, he plays Salvador - they seem to work well together, we haven't had much trouble with anything. We're mid 20's now, just finished the Bloodwing quest.
So, I have more time to play solo, so I started my own game as Axton. So I'm at level 16, and going to rescue Roland. I pretty much walk through the level until I get to the Constructor.
Yeah, that. Holy carp! I don't think I even got through it's shields. Shortly after, mission failed, he's gone. :smalleek:
Ok, so we get another chance at another location ... same thing - that thing spits out so many targets, I can't get near him. It took me over 1 hour to finally defeat the thing. *sigh*.
Oh well. So just wondering - any tips for playing Axton in general? Obviously, I'm going about it wrong :smallwink:
My current key info:
- I building in Survival tree, because I wanted to get to the x2 Turrets. Thinking, playing alone, I could use the extra Meat shields :)
- Class mod is currently action skill cooldown.
- Mirv grenade. x7
- Using the Firehawk shield for now, haven't found anything better.
- I have a good Sniper rifle for long distance sniping, a fire sniper when needed.
- a good pistol for close in, and a corrosive one for mechs/armor when needed.
- my main weapon is a pretty good Assault rifle. something like 147 dmg, 85+ accuracy, but only about 11 mag size.
I can't use shotguns, (did I mention I suck?) :smallredface: If I get close enough to get the most of it, I usually end up in Second Wind before anything else happens.
I usually snipe a few key targets from range then switch to Assault rifle when the rest get close. Drop turret, and work 'em over. Generally works fine. Haven't had any issues in the game until this mission.
Anyway, looking for suggestions and such!!
Cheers!
