Borderlands 2

[NeoVid]

Hmm. Good to know. (I had to Google search DPUH, luckily, Google knows exactly what I am looking for.)

EDIT: I take it you maximize this with a Sheriff's Badge and Divergent Likeness?

Optimally, yes, but I haven't got either, and I'm still squashing UVHM with my Sal.

My addition to the combo is the Flame of the Firehawk. As long as my shields are down, I'm surrounded by explosions that heal me when they do damage.

As I've said before:
My main is Salvador. I take cover behind walls of lead.

Borderlands 2 - Game of the Year Edition comes out October 8 in the USA and October 11 for the rest of the world.

Playing as Krieg recently, I'm only at level 20, but he is crazy fun to play as.

[Sharoth]

Stupid X-Box 360 version of Borderlands 2 question. How do you select what character you want to use? I can't find my level 16 Maya or my level 6 Krieg. Of course I was tired last night so I might just be missing the obvious.

"Select Character" on the root of the main menu.

[Sharoth]

Ok. I will check it out when I get home tonight.

Press (Y) to open this menu.

[Sharoth]

Ok. thanks.

Also, is there a limit to how many characters you can have?

[Triscuitable]

Ok. thanks.

Your hard drive capacity.

I'm not quite sure why you would want more than one of each class, with the only exception being additional inventory space.

[Sharoth]

I just plan on having one of each. I doubt that I will want to grind through it enough to play more than one low level of each.

I finally leveled my Krieg far enough to get Bloodsplosion.

Like most other things about Krieg, it is #*&@ing amazing.

Someday, I'll level him far enough to be on fire all the time while I'm making dudes go up in chain-reaction explosions.

If you plan on playing through on harder difficulties, you'll find that there's not so much of a grind as there is "progression". The longer you play, the more you level up.

[Sharoth]

I picked up the Fibber at around level 27 or so. May is level 29 and I finally started to use it. wow. Talk about an awesome weapon.

It's got several extremely different variations, and its stat card blatantly lies to you so you can only determine its actual stats by experimentation.

That's kind of what I'm building my Krieg towards, but I haven't even got Bloodsplosion, but currently I have Buzz Axe Bombardier. Helps a lot with throwing buzzaxe accuracy, and procs both Bloodbath and Fuel the Blood.

This is the build I'm aiming for: 50|61|72

I am coming back to BL2 after a long hiatus. My brother and I want to run through tiny tina's. I want to play my mechro (lvl13) but we both have a few lvl 50's. Is tiny tina's any fun with lower lvl characters?

Tiny Tina's missions and enemies have a minimum level of 30.

[Sharoth]

Yea. Tiny Tina's. I found out about the level 30 bit the hard way.

[MonarchAnarch]

aight, sounds good, thanks all!

[wiimanclassic]

So what do you guys think of the loot hunt so far?

[Wagadodo]

I have been away from my Xbox for a while and haven't had the chance yet to participate. I hope to do so with in the next couple days.

Just need to find some people to play Borderlands 2 with me. So any one on Xbox that would like to play. Hit up Wagadodo.

[Seatbelt]

I don't even know what it is...?

[Lunix Vandal]

I don't even know what it is...?

What, the loot hunt? Details here, or else keep reading.

Each day for the next 3 1/2 weeks one boss-level enemy has a specific blue-or-better-rarity guaranteed drop. If you've signed up with both Gearbox SHiFT and the Loot Hunt site, killing the boss and getting the drop enters you into drawings for $150,000 USD in prizes (a total of $100k cash and $50k in assorted gaming paraphernalia). Furthermore, killing a specific enemy type with that day's boss loot weapons helps the entire community earn special unique weapons at the end of the week. (For example, if every kill goal is met this week, everyone that participated in the Loot Hunt will get a unique Moxxi-themed Maliwan rocket launcher.)

Oh, they're also buffing assorted weapons each day for the duration of the hunt -- so far each day's change has directly buffed that day's boss loot and/or all weapons of the same type and manufacturer.

[NeoVid]

The loot hunt got me playing a lot over the last few days, and I've had some of the luckiest drops I've ever seen.

Of course, they're all ones that aren't useful to me. Anyone want a level 59 Legendary Hunter mod, a level 57 pearlescent revolver, or some level 58 Ancient relics?

[Soepvork]

Not sure if this is the right thread for it, but it seems appropriate to me.

Anyway, I was thinking of starting to play the Borderlands series (PS3, if that makes any difference), and I was wondering which one is generally considered the better one? If it's 2, would I miss out on anything by not knowing the first one, or can I happily start with 2 and not worry about anything.

Finally, is the extra in the GOTY editions worth spending the extra (quite considerable amount of) money on?

Thanks!

[Sharoth]

On one hand you would not miss out on too much if you just started with Borderlands 2. OTOH, Borderlands 1 GOTY edition is only $20 so I would also pick it up if you can. Plus playing Borderlands 1 fills in some of the inside info. Is it worth picking up the Borderlands 2 Game of the Year edition for the extra content? Yes. Two extra classes, your characters can now go to level 72, and the 4 DLCs themselves all make it worth the $60 + tax. I already own the vannila version of Borderlands 2 and I bought Tiny Tina's DLC. Despite that, I will be buying the GOTY edition when I get the extra cash JUST for the extra goodies.

[Sharoth]

I picked up T.K. Baha's Bloody Harvest last night and played through it. It was fun but short. There was only one side mission. I would have prefered a few more, but you can't complain too much for a $3 purchase, can you?

[factotum]

I'd actually disagree with Sharoth there--I think Borderlands 2 and 1 are just too similar to each other; if you get both, you'll probably end up like me and get burnt out on one game and thus not really get into the other one. Basically, I would say that Borderlands 2 is overall a better game, but it does have annoyingly bullet-spongy enemies which become a royal pain if you're playing it single player--thus I'd recommend the first game if you don't intend playing much co-op. If co-op is your thing, then definitely get 2.

[Sharoth]

~shrugs~ Oh, I agree with you on BL1 & 2 being very similar. OTOH, I started out with BL 1 and enjoyed it. Totally worth $20 to play through BL 1.
