So I just investigated the Vault Hunter Relic data.

It modifies two attributes:

GD_Balance.Weighting.GearDrops_RareWeightModifier: +0.05
GD_Balance.Weighting.GearDrops_CommonWeightModifier: -0.06

Let's set them to +100.00 and -100.00! :allears:



Net result: I have not seen a single white weapon drop, greens drop, seen a few blues. Nothing else.

So, what I can gauge from this, is that it shifts a 5% of your chance for whites into non-whites. Doesn't touch anything else. Very low impact, perhaps bordering on useless.

Looking forward to seeing if we can hack that thing to increase the weights of every other kind of gun while reducing whites to zero. I'm going to laugh my rear end off if we can mod it so that white guns essentially disappear and everything else moves down a tier.

So I finally got into shift and input the code, but it says it was already redeemed. I thought it was up for two hours?

I got that message a few times then the key redemption ticket showed up in my box a little bit later. I think I tried entering the PS3 key for shits and giggles too but it was flat out rejected.

Did they patch out the ability to give youself the pre-order bonuses by editing an INI file? I'd like to take some friends through the creature slaughter dome.

Gamecopyworld has some good trainers that work with the current version, the top two both have infinite keys options. I really like the fling one, it modifies your keys while the lingon one seems to make the chest cost no keys to open. If you use the fling one and then copy your profile.bin somewhere else you can create a backup profile with 99 keys in case they patch this game past the point when people feel like updating their trainers for free.

You won't be able to do it through save editing, what I edited was actual game data (stored in UPK) in memory.

For all of the agonizing about golden keys, after playing with an unlimited amount for a while I've gone back to not using them. They suck all of the fun out of finding new guns in the wild and make the game a total pushover. Also uh a lot of what I got out of it were really similar guns. Once you've seen one smg plasma caster you've seen them all.

My method: If I finish a batch of quests and only find junk I'll open the chest once or twice. Like, after doing the first quests up to sanctuary I only had some crappy smg and a lovely shotgun, so I pulled the chest open to get a ballin shotgun that throws around fireballs.

Yeah, this. I open it a few times when I finish an area. Not everything that comes out of it is something you want to use, but it's like a few extra guaranteed good drops.

I would be really interested on seeing what would happen if you just changed the commonweightmodifier to -100% and left the other one alone.

YOSPOS
Playing co-op with GF, she has an issue where her menus seem to get escaped out every 5-10 seconds. It's as if she has a macro running that hits ESC periodically, but not really (it doesn't open the ESC menu or anything). So for example if she opens up the keybinding menu, it'll auto close to the keyboard etc. options, then a few seconds later it'll auto close to the main menu, and then it'll auto close out to the game. If she opens her inventory, after a few seconds it auto closes out to the game.

Any ideas? We've unplugged all her peripherals except kb/mouse in case some random USB thing was loving her up. Doesn't happen in other games. What should I try next?

I found the gold keys amazing for the early part of the first playthrough when drops really were disappointing and I found myself behind 5-10 levels on weapons. Past that I ended up using the chest once more when I found myself on an unlucky streak with very underleveled weapons again, but overall my loot and quest rewards have better and more exciting than anything the gold chest was giving me.

I also found out early on that Moxxi will repeatedly give you her "good touch" fire SMG based on your main story level at the time through tipping and I've never used another SMG since. I just wish she could give a max-level corrosive version, too.

Also, nearly halfway through my PT2 and I just got my FIRST ORANGE! It's that bunny rocket launcher. Got it from a "chubby" spiderant or whatever they are. I almost drove right past him until I saw him take down a loving Bandit Technical while being attacked by a Buzzard.

I just got a purple slag SMG from T.K. Baha's Daughter. I was going wtf when it started talking. I can't really tell what it's saying but it's hilarious anyway.

It's terribly inaccurate at mid-range but it's really powerful for close in work when things get hairy. This game just keeps on getting better.

I still have a poo poo shield at level 32 as Roland so I'm just doing side quest before the final boss, otherwise I'll just get my rear end kicked.

The talking guns are fun. The one for (early side-quest) Out Of Body Experience is great. But when you and 2 other friends get the bug that causes all your guns to talk? Welp.

I've been having an issue maybe someone can help me with. Two night ago I beat the first playthrough with my group. Got some neat stuff, called it a night. Last night, for some reason it didn't register for me or something, most of my progress from the previous night was erased. We redid it and started the second playthrough. Today I checked and I was back to where I was 2 night ago. I caught up again and everything seems to be working but I've beaten the last couple of missions 3 times in as many days now. I hope it doesn't revert again, but I don't know how or why it's doing it. Help!

Were you hosting? Is your cloud storage turned off for BL2? Only reason to revert is if you've set it to use cloud storage, or you skipped a story mission with your character to get in the coop game, so it's going back to that point when you host or continue..

Set profile.bin to read only if you have more than one key atm, but people around here are using memory editors to alter the count or remove the cost.

Despite my initial reservations about using a third-party trainer, I have had no problems with the CheatEngine program from a few pages back. It simplifies the process immensely.

If you don't want to go that route, you can do one of two things with your profile.bin file:
1. Copy it to desktop. Load game. Use keys. Exit game. Overwrite the updated profile.bin with the older copy on the desktop. Repeat as desired.
2. Set permissions on profile.bin to read-only. Load game. Use keys. Exit game. Repeat as desired. Unflag read-only permissions after you're done.

Aside from these options there are a couple of other trainers available, but I have not personally used these and cannot vouch for their effectiveness.

So, what class is everyone playing as in the high levels? I just beat the game with Axton and I tired to start new ones with the Maya and Salvador but I don't know how to deal with not having my trusty rocket pod turret. But now I am afraid in the high levels it won't be as useful cause it will get one-shotted or something immediately.

Also so I am clear on this when people say PT2 or TVHM they are talking about the same thing, right?

I'm about to hit 50 as Axton in TVH mode and the turret is as useful as it has ever been. Because its kills count as your own--even in FFYL mode--it has actually saved my life a bunch of times. I assume that PT2 and TVH mode are the same thing.

Fun fact (Mid-game spoilers): When you finish your mission at the Animal Preservation and Mordecai starts to throw his sniping tantrum, about six badass loaders airdrop into the area and begin attacking you. Ordinarily, Mordecai one-shots each of them as you flee to safety. What I discovered, however, was that if you so much as scratch these badass loaders with a weapon, the game will think you participated in the fight and they will drop loot. Badass loaders generally have some good loot to drop (greens, sometimes blues, lots of cash) and bagging six of them for six pistol rounds is too awesome to pass up.

I can't help you there, but failing waah's advice, you should be able to save, exit, and load your save again. That might correct the issue, or give you a second chance to shoot the raak down in a more accessible area.
