For the BL1 save game data from the OP, does anyone know if you have to own or have the original BL installed to get credit for having the saved game data? I created a new folder, just don't want to get screwed in the end. I had it for 360, would rather play BL2 on PC.

When you're reviving someone, what is the green shading on their recovery bar. NOT the gree progress bar, the green behind that. It seems to vary from player to player. One NPC I revived had it full, but some Steam buddies had it partially colored.

I think I'm going to mostly ignore sniper rifles with my Assassin. It seems like shotgun/explosive combined with melee and reloading boons are the way to go.

Dash in, unleash fury then use the decoy to back off to safety for a recharge/reload.

Dude, I love sniper rifle on my assassin. I can easily head shot multiple enemies before they make it to me, and shooting from the hip is effective too. I did get a pretty absurd gun for my level though.

drat, soundtrack in the Fink's Slaughterhouse is brilliant. Completely different from the rest of the game, I really want to listen to it outside the game but I can't find it anywhere :(.

I've run into a few songs I like, but they don't seem to appear to have any rhyme or reason. I was driving around the big fat mechanic lady's area (Dust..something?) and some really dramatic, guitar-heavy song came on for no reason, then faded out like 15 seconds later. I thought maybe I stumbled into a rare mob or a random boss or something, but I couldn't figure out what I triggered... :confused:

I started to appreciate zer0 more after I learned that most of his lines are in haiku.

I love running him, but I feel like they accented his sword too much in the promotional videos and images. Unless you dive head first into the melee line, it kinda blows. I haven't played anyone else to compare damage to though, but you'd think a sword against a shirtless man would do a little bit more damage.

3 Bandits: A live grenade
1 Cherry: White Gun
2 Cherries: Green Gun
3 Cherries: either a Blue Gun or a big Cash Payout
3 Moxxi Legs: Elemental Blue Gun
3 Eridium: 1 Eridium stack
3 Erdium Stacks: it sets of some purple fireworks and spews erdium everywhere, you get about 20 out of it
3 Marcus: Purple Gun
3 7`s: A class Skin:
3 Vault Hunter Symbols: Orange Gun (apparently you can get E-tech guns as well)

I`m not sure what 3 Bells gives you though.

That switch is useless, you need to:
Go up the nearby stairs, jump over the railing and onto the pipes in the air, run across them into the second story room with a pile switches and open them all.

If you are at the cell with the chests, facing it, turn 90 degrees right and look at the far wall. There's a window up there above the pipes on the second story. That's where you need to go.


I'm trying this too, but your instructions don't make sense. There's no pipes or windows or anything.

Crimson Raiders base. Sanctuary. Where Roland hangs out. Where the bank is. There's a room with a Dahl crate behind metal bars, just past a couple rows of washing machines. There's a switch to the left of the door that does nothing. How do you open the door?

I REALLY wish you could scrub off some gun properties. I have one that just makes me angry. It's a blue assault rifle, GREAT stats on everything (clip could be bigger though). It has "Gatling" in the gun name. It fires 189x3 at level 15 or so. Huge damage. BUT it has that stupid "Fires as fast as you can pull the trigger!" crap on it, thus nullifying any "gatling" feature the loving thing has! Even before this gun, that was my least favorite modifier. So now, I have a gun with three spinning barrels that fires like a 3-bullet shotgun. Oh well, at least it's reasonably accurate at range, so it helps when I have groups of Psychos charging me.. :smith:

Also, they seriously need to patch in multiple keybindings for commands. I get that they want to double up on stuff so we have less keys to remember, but that doesn't mean I want my grenade button the same as my vehicle boost.. Why is life so hard?

Edit: Oh, be careful with the slot machines.. I usually back up from the one in Moxxxie's, so I can watch them both, and they both came up "bandits". Problem is, I was backed up to the bar and got stuck, so I died in the middle of Sanctuary because there's nothing to kill for a "Second Wind", which is kinda lame.. Someone should have come help me.

I snipe as Zero, but on Salvador I'm purposely not using sniper rifles. I'm only playing Salvador with a friend, and he plays Axton and snipes.

Thanks for the Shift code by the way, as of this post they still work for PC.


Since everyone is showing off their pretty-shinies, figured I'd show mine too.. These are the guns I absolutely couldn't live without.


This was on the gun vending machine in Opportunity, and it is loving AMAZING. I think it was like $8k. One-shot anything with 16 tiny rockets!




I forget where this one dropped, maybe in the Fridge..? I remember I snagged it and gave my buddy my SMG hand-me-down, which was the same design but a few levels lower, just with Fire instead of Electricity. Still, beat what he was rockin'...




This one dropped in Lynchwood. It's a Needler-type weapon, shoots little blue spikes that explode. Super awesome gun, and it's full-auto.



I'm Zer0, so I have a sniper rifle too that's my main gun. I just got an 871 damage green that was better than the Golden Key purples I was alternating between.. Kinda depressing to upgrade your purples with greens, but quality is quality I suppose.

I'm not entirely convinced there is a right choice in the murder mysteries. I kinda talked to everyone not paying attention and then when asked who did it I spun in a circle and shot one of them in the face. It felt pretty borderlands.

See, I couldn't tell who it was in the first one from the "witness" testimony. All we knew was one guy was shot, and he had a shield? Two had shields, nobody was bloody.. The only other evidence was that it was a single shot. That rules out rocket launcher guy, so I assumed sniper dude. It's weird though- in my game, I accused someone wrongly, they ran off, and some unseen Deputy shot him dead a few feet away. In my buddy's game that I sat in on later, he accused someone, it was the wrong person, they ran, and disappeared into a building. Was kinda odd..

So, I just had my first "loving seriously?" moment with the story in this game. Post-Bunker spoilers: So, I can get shot, stabbed, burned, electrocuted, corroded, and blown to bits, and I can get a new body made.. But Roland takes one shot to the chest and he's loving toast. Game over. Dude isn't carrying a shield or anything? I mean, at least make it dramatic. And while he and Lilith are getting hosed up, I'm standing three feet away doing.. what? Nothing? You mean Zer0 didn't step in and try to stab the guy who he's been pursuing for ages? Didn't take one loving shot? I just let all that poo poo happen? All it would have taken was ONE shot of a force field coming up, or my character getting hit by electricity and forced to the ground, or SOMETHING. I mean, I know this isn't high literature or anything, but come the gently caress on. :argh:

Yup, Roland didn't think to wear any armor or a shield or anything while we go to raid the most dangerous place imaginable. Jack just hid in the room the whole time and then welp, one shot, dead.


I don't think he was hiding in the room, it looked like he teleported/"digitized" in behind him. He was still in the process when he fired.

Also, I like the idea about Jack being too rich for the New-U station to work. He's just greedy enough that he wouldn't give anybody a chance to get a freebie.


Edit: Oh, and to continue to bitch a little more (since it's one of my favorite things to do), when Mordecai gives you Roland's chest code, it was this big sappy "He'd want you to have it" moment. My chest was full of really, really lovely green and white shields. Uhh.. Thanks, Roland. Maybe if you had thought to carry one of these when you were heading to the fight, you wouldn't have died in the first loving place!

BOSS SPOILERS:

So my friend and I were on playthrough 2, fighting Bunker, when he decided to hit Bunker's eye with a sniper rifle and instantly bringing him from 95% health down to less than 5% in one hit. He was playing as Zero at Lv. 46 and had a sniper with about 9k damage. WHAT THE HECK :psyduck:

Well poo poo. I was hitting him hard as a Zer0 sniper, but nothing like that..

Speaking of hard bosses.. Demon Hunter about kicked my rear end solo. She basically one-shotted me every time I hopped down, but I kept at it and took her out on about my fifth try when I remembered my grenades gave me health. My rifle was 970ish damage and fire, and it would crit for like 9-13k when I hit the sweet spot. Totally worth the deaths to get a 2100+ damage sniper rifle at 28!!! The 10k damage rocket launcher she dropped didn't hurt either. I also got a lovely blue SMG and a purple Gunzerker mod. Yay?

Speaking of poo poo luck, I had 2 keys when I was running last night and decided that when I hit 30 I would use one, then in my second playthrough I'd use one as soon as I hit Sanctuary, and by then I'd be sure to have more. I had used one other key I had when I hit 20 and got a pair of lovely sniper rifles, so I was excited. ...I got two really, really lovely blue relics. One was faster skill recharge, other one was lower Vladof recoil. Seriously, game? You hype the gently caress out of this chest and allow that trash to drop? Now I wish I'd cheated for a billion keys when I had the chance just to gently caress with Gearbox. I wish I didn't feel the need to ration them. I hope I get more soon.
