So have you guys found the unique Psycho, Geary? He drops unique heads, managed to get one for the Commando and one for Siren, as well as one for my Assassin:


I also got this quest reward:

Oh Gearbox :allears:

As far as I can tell, that pistol actually does about 650-ish damage, with bouncing multi-shots. It's pretty nasty. Also, B0re is broken as gently caress. The game counts Skag Riders and at least one boss as B0re passing through enemies, so it's really trivial to absolutely tear through some big enemies. It owns.

So wait, is there a guaranteed orange from the Minecraft easter egg? I did it but only got the head item..

I'm not sure if that boss in particular is set to drop it, but I did get the same orange as a few other people from him apparently, so yes, it looks like if you farm him you have a chance of getting it.

Badass Creeper and block loot is random each time you load up Caustic Caverns. I didn't even get an Eridium blocks my first time through.

Didn't Gearbox say certain bosses have Legendaries associated with them though? Like, each boss has a higher chance to drop a specific orange so you can theoretically farm certain ones to get the specific one?

Naw that poo poo's way overdone.

I guess Ned can have a cameo or something. Maybe have the New-U's really gently caress up and start re-spawning old BL1 Bosses.

Can somebody who's doing well with Zer0 at a high level tell me what they're doing? I'm at 47, my best weapon by a longshot is a 3700x16 Torgue shotgun. I've tried every spec, sniping has worked the best but it gets pretty boring. I have the same problem as other people with melee, in that you don't one-shot people at this level so the Many Must Die or whatever skill doesn't do anything and you just end up decloaked and surrounded/instantly killed. Law and Order work so-so but I only have about 30k life and I can't outheal 3+ enemies trying to pack my poo poo in at once.

I've also had terrible luck with drops. I haven't ever found a legendary and I can't remember the last time I found a purple. This shotgun I have was given to me, along with every other piece I have worth a poo poo. I'm starting to think the solution to all my problems might just be a good SMG, since that's what got me through in BL1, but I was also Brick with a god mode/free kill skill, not "go invisible just barely long enough to hit something one time."

Make sure you sink at least one point in B0re. I will parrot this until I die, B0re is broken and does terrible things to enemies :colbert:

Aside from that... I'm L44, and my skill tree looks like this:


It's insanely satisfying to get a multi-headshot set of kills, and you can rack up crazy damage on your first fully loaded sniper shot, especially paired with an Amp shield. Also using 5/5 in Fast Hands because absurdly fast reloads are always good to have.

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:

Does he have B0re? Because I managed to kill him using a single pistol mag on PT1. B0re is seriously glitchy-broken and it's awesome. It'll do that to certain bosses.

what the hell, seriously? I had no idea.

Yeah. No lie, I wrecked Midgemong's health bar from full to zero in about a second on PT2. B0re is... interesting. Something to do with the way it calculates piercing damage. It considers certain enemies as getting pierced through multiple times with a single shot, so damage stacks up really loving fast and accumulates near instantly.

Lingon trainers are notoriously terrible at interacting with games. When they work they do everything you could ever want them to but 99% of the time they do not work, probably because he wants donations to "make it work" with your standard steam install. There's one below it from fling and it seems to work at least for golden keys right now, I just tried it out a second ago.

There's a Steam Cheevo for it. If you really, really want that achievement then yeah, you have to do all the side missions. I think there's also challenges for Badass Rank for doing side missions.

So it seems like the Heal Plz glitch that allows you to essentially have infinite Badass Tokens is caused by completing all 5 Tiers of the Heal Plz challenge, and then having a class mod equipped that regens health. Since my Assassin has all 5 tiers done and is always rocking a Survivor mod that has like +2k health regen, it's feeding me infinite tokens because the game keeps cycling through the challenges over and over as I play.

So, there you go guys. If you want infinite badass tokens, just do all 5 levels of Heal Plz and then equip a class mod that regens health.


Welp.

Elemental damage is way more important in playthrough 2, the multipliers both for getting it right and wrong are way, way more pronounced and everything has so much health that using the right element is key to killing things before they can kill you. Mix it up with slag and the right elements of grenades, even assholes like the rabid stalkers will melt.

Also, to folks looking for kickass assault rifles, go with Torgue in playthrough 2. The explosive damage is huge and they can still get critical hits. The synergy with a Rifleman mod on Axton is insane. This bad boy I found right before Boom and Bewm carried me through the mid-40s, when I upgraded to a bigger version that's rated for 3800 damage. I've got a second minigun with 1500 damage as well rated for level 38, put both of those in the stash for the Gunzerker when he hits TVHM.
