Post broken BL2 UHVM builds tia.

I recall having a Funzerker that could stay in dual-wield mode almost indefinitely and had a ridiculously short cooldown in between activations but I'm not at home right now to load him up and take a pic.

Sham shield (up to 94% absorb from Bunker) plus Norfleet or Topnea (enormous explosion rocket launcher from raid boss / purple random drop "equivalent") on any class. If you manage to run yourself out of rockets shoot your feet with a Logan's Gun (pistol that has "rocket" ammo from Wilhelm). This is supposed to be broken as hell. Gaige is supposed to be the best at "shamfleeting" because of Anarchy and her plethora of shield skills.

Considering I started a mecromancer to aim less and AFK while my pet killed stuff, this might be the best way to avoid effort, past the farming that is. I'm ok with cheesing the game because my Zero got dropped like a sack of potatoes when I stepped into UHVM. poo poo is crazy if you're not geared.

Its beating a dead horse to say BL2's drop rates are awful. I honestly I like the game but once I realized I had played last quarter of base game and 2.5 DLCs with same two assault rifles I realized how flawed the game was. There are so many legitimate criticisms to make about these games and yet Steam tells me I've played close to 60 hour of it.

Speaking of B2, what is the preferred order to play? I got my characters loaded with a 72 and a 36 but I forget the progression, is it Normal to True to Ultimate to OP?

Yes. Op8 is the top. Enemies continue to level, but many class abilities don't scale appropriately so lots of classes can start getting railroaded to particular build or require specific gear for some builds to remain functional. Additionally, the difference between gear of 2 different levels becomes more substantial.

I've only got two 52s though, so what I've parroted might be up for debate. A lot of resources are harder to find as the Gearbox forums were apparently changed since the launch and there were some big changes in some patches that came later. Subsequently, there's a lot of out of date info that's more readily available.

While you’re not wrong, I found it hilarious that on starting a new play through last night, the VERY FIRST BOSS (Knuckledragger) dropped a legendary (Dahl Hornet) for me. I’m still using that sucker at level 8, because the rest of the drops have been woeful.

No loot table editing in effect (because they don’t even work until you beat Flynt and get to the next area).

The first time I played through BL2 after it came out I got Bewm Boom's legendary (Bonus Package, the double MIRV grenade), used it for what felt like forever, and it was my only legendary drop for the entire playthrough.

It's a really great grenade mod, and I've never seen it drop since :v:

I found Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode easier than the middle difficulty because it's so much easier to find level appropriate weapons when everything is scaled to your level.

That's the only legendary drop I've ever seen, which I chalk up to the fact it can drop from either Bewm or Boom.

I got this on my first run too. It's pretty rad and I killed myself a bunch of times because you can clear a room and put yourself into fight for your life simultaneously.

When I learned about the fastball though, I went farming.

I was doing the "Ghosts of the Vault" quest for Tannis and when I killed the big one of the three guardians it dropped a crazy 228 damage Detonating Cobra legendary sniper rifle. This thing killed Mad Mel in his vehicle in 4 shots, all the other vehicles in that fight in 1 shot each and killed Mothrakk in 4 shots during "Like A Moth To Flame". :aaaaa:

I'm guessing it's going to be one of those weapons that stick around for 10 levels or so.

I'm having pretty good luck with legendaries in my recent BL2 playthrough, gotten 6 already and I'm about halfway through. Just about to do the wildlife preserve mission. If I ever get bored of the current weapons I have and nothing particularly cool has dropped, can always go and use a golden key as well. Got hundreds of them at this point.

I am having more fun with my maya after stacking insane levels of life regen. Wen I die is because I was trying to rez somebody in a bad spot. I am not having much luck with drops ( everything is white or green ) but getting a long mileage from what I got.

Fan question Randy P replied to, as per reddit:

EDIT: Looking like this was fake, sorry for believing everything that I read on the internet :(

quote:

Q:
So Randy, concerning Fl4k the Beastmaster. He strikes parallels with Mordecai who possessed an affinity with a creature not unlike Gaige the Mechromancer with her robotic companion DEATHTRAP. What have you learned from these characters to evolve the master & beast archetype for Borderlands 3?


quote:

A:
A very good question.

One day I was walking my pet laberdoodle I dubbed "Puuke". While on our peaceful walk through a cold dewy park one morning I observed Puuke digesting particular blades of grass, that to me, he found delicious. I wondered what made these specific blades of grass delectable among the field we walked upon. Was Puuke simply selecting these blades at random? Did Puuke pick up on a specific smell or sense that this blade was most nutrient based? Well - I never found my answer. But it did give me an idea.

The game designer in me could only wonder how I could translate this phenomena into an interesting characteristic for the SKAG companion FL4K will befriend in our upcoming game. Thus the "puke" mechanic was born. Your pet skag will be able to consume objects and enemies alike that he/she finds scrumptious and later on puke a special pile of crap for you to rummage through. I thought this was pretty neat because throughout borderlands 1 and 2 you often stumble upon these piles of refuse that skags leave behind near their lairs or where they have passed through. Now you will be able to see in live action how these piles are made. And yes - you will be able to upgrade this skill for a higher chance of rarer loot and supplies, similiar to Bloodwing's ability in the original Borderlands.

use them whenever your gear feels anemic. they're basically useless on a character that is farming out best-in-slot gear because they're capped at purple/e-tech.

What exactly is Cheat Engine / How does it work? I [obviously] never used it way back when these games first came out. Like can you just give yourself specific legendaries, or does it just give you a random item of the specified rarity, or do you just put the stats you want on something in your inventory already? At work so I can't just download it and try for myself...

  • Remember BL1 where Bloodwing could drop loot?
  • Remember how skag/bullymong piles had loot?
  • Remember how Butt Stallion pooped loot?
  • Remember how Kirby swallows enemies? we would never steal another games concepts at gearbox software

Have I got news, we are rehashing the same mechanic, but in a new engine.

So Cheat Engine is the software, and you run 'tables/trainers' which are essentially profiles tailored to a specific game. Load the game, run the table (which loads into cheat engine and it should work, ymmv)

There are many check boxes that let you select different things [on/off] whether it be traditional IDDQD or unlimited ammo kind of things, or what have you. Borderlands 2 cheat engine table is very advanced, you can spawn enemies at will, improve evolution to be guaranteed for varkids, you can replace all standard enemy spawns on your current map with chubby versions, you can arbitrarily set targets health to 1 with a hotkey press, whatever. Also loot tables, drop rates, keys, etc,etc,etc. Did I mention it is very advanced?

I can't seem to find the original post about it with the entire feature set parsed out, but it was a community effort where everyone shared their own hacks and they made this gigantic master list. One guy seems to host it now, and has a couple links to download the latest file from.
