Right in front of the giant Marcus statue on the dam where you fight W4R-D3N, there is a switch that opens a little hole with a ladder inside. What is this for? I tried throwing a gun in there and hitting the switch but nothing happened.

Try throwing another player there instead. Or don't, the loot is pretty crappy.

I just found a kinda neat bug: Respeccing while discord is active makes discord permanent. You can no longer gain anarchy stacks, but you get the fire rate, accuracy and regen benefits of discord for no cost. It doesn't wear off til you quit or actively turn it off.

There's no easy way to do it without cheating, but look out for the Emperor. Its burst is 6 rounds all on a dime, it's even more of what you love!

Wow the Wilheim fight really was underwhelming, I took him out his health bar in seconds with an e-tech tediore corrosive smg.

At first I was strafing him expecting him to be an impressive challenge, totally not the case.

Well you gotta have Cheat Engine 6.2 installed. You open it in that, load the game and get to where the level is loaded, alt+tab out of the game. Go to CE, there will be a logo of a computer directly below the File button, it should have a red/green box around it. Click it and select Borderlands 2 from the list (itll be near or at the bottom), then simply click the checkbox next to whatever things you want/need. Some require changing the value like ones that change weapon level, double click the value field and add a number, like your level or whatever. I know with the weapon scripts you go back into game, highlight the weapon in your inventory, hit F2, hear a beep then unequip the weapon and reequip it. When messing with the weapon level scripts back up your save. I had a glitch where all my weapons went to level 1, with no backup save.

Sorry but anything SMGs can do pistols and assault rifles can do better. Slagga and Lascaux are as good as they get (and kinda decent). None of the legendary SMGs are much good at all, especially the Emperor.

SMGs have huge ammo pools, making them ideal for two things: Tediore reloads and plasma casters. I max out my SMG ammo storage ASAP and grab the best Tediore I can find and use it exclusively as a hand grenade. The instant damage is just so good for taking out tough enemies.

Etech assault rifles are a serious drain on resources because, even maxed out, they just use up ammo too quick. You can carry so much ammo with an SMG that I use plasma casters as much as possible and still never run critically low on ammo.

On my Salvador I got a Dahl corrosive Etech SMG at level 25 that I used all the way to the final boss at level 33 and it never left my equip slot. Thing was still melting Super Badass Loaders at Hero's Pass.

edit:

Just finished a second playthrough on a Gunzerker after having played the first as a Commando. This is the first FPS I've played in a long time where the second playthrough was just as fun as the first. Mechromancer next :toot:

I keep a Tediore plasma caster around just to fire one shot, then throw at and subsequently one shot/hugely damage a boss. Close to a million damage if you pop a Bee on before the throw, and that's at like level 36.

If I use it as a normal gun (it's a very good gun despite eating through ammo) I end up killing myself by facing a wall or something similar when I reload. So that's not an option.

You would think you'd get use to tediore's explosive reloads at some point, but here I am, 100 hours later, still chucking gun-grenades at my feet and trickshotting reloads back into my face.

The best Tediore reload I ever did was reflexively trying to get the most mileage out of One Shot One Kill. My friend was downed and trying to get a Second Wind kill when I threw it in his general direction to be a dick. Imagine my surprise when it literally propelled itself like a rocket, hit the guy he was wearing down, and, because it had most of its clip left, killed all the other full-health dudes who were within reach.

He ran out of FFYL time and respawned before I could get to him, he was soooooo pissed. It was great.

I almost feel like TVHM is easier in some respects than normal mode. I just beat it for the first time, and the road to the final boss was a cakewalk. My first go, I got slaughtered multiple times. Maybe I'm just more "seasoned".

Anyway, I downed the boss twice and only got a couple upgrades over poo poo I found in the golden chest. Kinda underwhelming, but I'm glad I did it. I did get a nearly 30k damage sniper rifle, which is pretty absurd.

Customization items are account bound and not tied to individual characters. Just load the saves, click a bunch of stuff, and the skins will be unlocked for any characters you have or create in the future.

As long as your profile.bin file isn't set to read-only, you should be fine. You can always make a backup if you're worried about it.

I like Dahl burst guns, pistols and smgs, the whole burst mechanic seems to make them a tad bit more accurate and Anarchy stacks can turn the bursts into monster damage. I'm also been using the highest power Jakobs revolver that I can find due to it's combination of high damage, decent accuracy, and fast reload time making them really good a building stacks. And obviously shotguns, I like the Hyperion ones that can get more accurate as you fire

You'll obviously have to engage a medium to short range due to the accuracy penalty so Blood Soaking Shields along with the biggest capacity shield you can get will serve you well. Deathtrap is also essential, he draws fire and can put out decent damage himself.

If you plan on running an Anarchy stack larger then 125ish you need all 5 points in "Close Enough", it helps you deal with your many many misses.

Edit: Also apparently if you are really good with quickscoping with a sniper you can get an accurate shot before Anarhy kicks when you ADS.

I just got DT up to 45 stacks of upshot robot while at around 100 stacks of anarchy. by the end his time bar was going down pretty fast, but he was one-shotting most of the bandits and spider ants he flew up to. So he was alive for an extra 3 minutes 45 seconds and was doing 280% damage (anarchy aside) at the end.

I think that happens when the game can't find the necessary texture (as in, it gets deleted or goes "bad" for some reason, requiring the user to revalidate their game's cache.) A lot of games have issues like this. Although it's not always a checkerboard pattern, in BL2's case it actually is, since it's built on the Unreal engine.
