We can rule them like gods! ...Angry gods.
I ran Zer0 as a sniper the vast majority of the game until I became frustrated with my lovely sniper rifles and the Golden Chest refused to give me a new one after 5 successive openings, so I decided to respec Deception. I really enjoy it so far. Anyone have a decent build? And that is everyone's opinion on Two-Fang? I'm not sure I like it.. It's cool for some weapons, but sniper rifles with small clips, sometimes you just don't want to spit out two bullets when actually lining up just ONE MORE shot could be crucial.

Zaeed got stories.
Kasumi got loot.
All I got was a hole in my suit.
So I just finished the Uncle Teddy quest and am about to turn it in.
I read up which guns I get for turning it in to either of the options, and I think I'm leaning towards the Lady Fist. Is there anything remarkable about the Tidal Wave that makes it worth picking it over the Lady Fist? I'm kind of sceptical given how notoriously lovely TK's Wave was in BL1.

I have a level 44 pistol that explodes for around 170k when thrown, how much does that do with a full(-2 shots?) clip, and does it do corrosive damage when thrown? :stare:

245k against a fleshy target. And it is caustic, I think I've seen it go over 400k against a Loader.

Edit: and by 400k I mean 705k.

It's kind of gear dependent, but I've had some fun times with Two Fang and One Shot One Kill while using a weapon that only has 1 shot in the clip, like an infinity pistol or a 1-shot shotgun.

I don't think it's as effective as a sniping build or melee build, but I find it enjoyable cause I'm not big on those types playstyles. Which is funny since I might as well just play another class.

Had to split the saves to two as the inventory was a bit bonkers around 350 items. Maybe it was just a glitch at the time but couldn't scroll anymore. Anyway download and save in

C:\Users\yourname\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 2\WillowGame\SaveData\uniquenumber
Then load the chars one at a time and start clicking like mad until you can't click no more.

Unlocked customization items are saved in profile.bin so make sure you don't have that as read only if you've been doing golden key stuff.

(Pardon for the pun in the names, I tried changing it afterwards but couldn't for some reason)

Get your Bee-facilitated farming in while you still can! A later post looks like they're looking at the amp-shot-drain values. I never used it in the main game, but I can't imagine trying to do any farming without it. Not too heartbroken since I figured it would become outdated as soon as the level caps were raised anyways, but it's still an interesting perspective by Gearbox on "nerfs" in a non-competitive coop game.

To add to this without giving anything away:
Vault symbols can be on standing-surfaces and not just walls.
Vault symbols can be partially obscured by objects.
Vault symbols can be real fuckin' small (like, Psycho midget head size instead of half a door tall).

All three of these are relevant to Sanctuary Vault symbols alone.

EDIT: And another thing: I'm really impressed with the enemy variety in PT2. I was honestly expecting identical, tougher enemies with different names. Maybe even palette swapped. However, even far, far into PT2.5, I'm finding new enemies like this Super Badass Slagged Skag that make me appreciate some artist's ability to create new stuff by the bucketload. Thanks, artist guy.



I wouldn't really consider a Skag (existing enemy) of a new elemental type to be something to get impressed about like the Goliaths, which are new and awesome and have the best lines (excluding the Pyschos reciting Hamlet).

There's a very odd lack of female humanoid enemies in the Borderlands games though. Aside from General Knoxx are there any regular(ish) female enemies? All the bandits just seem to be guys which is kind of odd. You'd think there'd be at least one Amazonian group out there if nothing else.


Needing to have a point in a skill to get the bonuses from a class mod seems new. Couldn't you get the mod's bonuses without having the related skill(s) trained in the first game?

Round 5 of the Hyperion Slaughter mission is just stupid, 7 waves of annoying as hell badass flying shield dudes, then in round 7 if you get put into fight for your life it lasts for half a second then immediately ends. I'm 33 now and I'm just going to leave this until I'm 40+ because spending 20 minutes only for that to happen sucks a lot of dick.

Also just realized that InnuendoBot is in Ore Chasm, subtle.

Run it with friends. Even going 4-man and with everyone having an corrosive weapons (like etech pistols) it was annoying. Being able to sit around a corner and fire enemy-seeking needles at badass constructors helped a lot though.

So on True Vault Hunter mode, after you beat the final boss, do all of the quests/quest rewards that you have not completed scale to level 50? Is it all the unfinished quests, or just the ones you have not picked up yet?

I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but it's been ages since I beat Borderlands 1, and I just can't remember how this works.

If I finish PT1 with sidequests still in my log, will they go away for PT2 so I can pick them up again at level 50? Or do I need to finish them before beating PT1 so I can pick them up again?

Also, a massive thank you for those two saves; I'm going to get started on them now :D

All enemies will scale up to level 50+, but quest rewards for quests that you've already "picked up" will be at the level listed in the quest. I'm told that waiting to pick up the quest until post-game will enable level 50 quest rewards, but I picked up all the quests when I first got them so someone else can hopefully confirm this.

Found a pretty neat way to farm Vermnivorous last night.

Theres a small connection in Caustic Caverns that has a gun vending machine in it. If you sprint to there through the varkid infested tunnel, you can just sit in there while the varkids lounge about outside, morphing at their leisure. Even the larvae are too big to get through the door.

While we didn't get a Verm when we discovered this last night, we did get two ultimates just by waiting 5 minutes. I think it has potential and I'll try it again tonight.

Also, following up on my earlier question, if the quest log doesn't get reset going from PT1 to PT2, and I have the first quest in a chain that level 18 (i.e. "Go talk to Ellie"), will the subsequent quests in that chain scale to level 50?

For context, I'm close to beating PT1 and I still have about 5 sidequests to finish, including two arenas (Finks and the Annex). If I beat the game, will my quest log just go back to the way it was when I started the first playthrough, or will I be unable to pick up those quests again?
