What are you on about? Hellborn will melt anything as long as they aren’t immune to DOT and the more damage you do the more survivable you get. At end game builds you will also most likely hit the rate of fire cap as well. Hellbourne krieg is possibly the most fun build in the series imo.

I actually forgot that Tannis was in BL1 until 2-3 days ago when I was doing the quest where you collect the echo logs detailing her going insane over the course of ~1 earth year on Pandora.

The other story bit that confused me was Scooter wanting revenge against a guy "that ruined my mom's girl parts". So either Moxxi's had some really bad relationships, or she wasn't his mother yet in BL1's script.

Moxxie wasn’t introduced until the thunderdome DLC and wasn’t made to be scooter’s mom until knoxx iirc

They're reset when you up the difficulty or reset a UVHM playthrough in BL2 or BLPS. I don't remember how it works in the first game.

Let me clarify things: I am not pro-epic, I'm anti-whiny gamers who review bomb over having to open a game in another launcher.

I agree that the review bombing was obnoxious and stupid, mostly because I had to wade through those "reviews" (made of nothing but ASCII art and F*** Epic) to try and find legit problems people were having with the BL1 remake.

dont project your weakness on to others. I wont see borderlands till april and Im dead set on it. all of the bullshit that plagues consoles doesnt need to come to pc.
Randy should also be quiet before he really pissed off his fanbase. his game has a lot of competition.

Meanwhile epic has nerf making fortnite guns. yeah real mystery why this bullshit happened. epic 2k randy. loving want all the dollars and dont realize their actions take dollars away if they didnt pull the exclusive poo poo there wouldnt be any beef at all. Most people would just get it on steam and epic/2k would get the fortnite kids they want and the established money that was already gonna purchase the game sight unseen. Instead they wanna slap us all with greed dicks.

I mean if they get extra money for the exclusivity deal and then people like you are gonna buy the game full price later anyway, then they're kind of right to do this.

Yes? Like, the issue isn't with the developers taking money from Epic. Good on them. Roll in that money, spend it on hookers and blow, whatever. I don't care for how Epic is going about things, so I won't be buying bought exclusives on their platform. That doesn't mean I want to punish the developer for making a sound financial choice,

Looking for some advice in my Borderlands 2 game.

I just finished TVHM on my Axton Commando, currently level 51 doing the Pirate DLC. I've already completed Torque's and Tiny Tina's DLC.

It seems like a long way to level 61 before UVHM. I get that I can farm up items, but I'm not sure the difficulty appeals to me. Any other content or quests that people recommend doing to stretch out my enjoyment of the game?

I understand I can farm for more gear (already have a Bee), but I know the gear I farm now will be useless come level 61.

Just unsure what to do next at such limited XP growth.

I really recommend killing King Mong in the Eridium Blights for a Badaboom. He spawns in two places. Hang a right through the doors with the turrets, and immediately ahead on the hill is the first spot. The second is by the exit to Arid... Boneyard? in the SE. Takes 30s to 1 minute because you'll be doing it in normal.

Why? It's a great "rocket jump" gun. Unequip your grenade mod and use one with your low level Badaboom to get a pretty good jump. Salvador can duel wield them, Zero can get 2 shots at once, and one of the raid relics can grant Zero's double shot. Being drunk (swap between guns to the Grog Nozzle from Tina's DLC, easier in multiplayer) enhances the jump. Be careful not to break quests.

I no longer use grenades in favor of having a rocket jump always available.

I used this up until I learned about the rocket jump. Indoors it is incredible, outdoors it's still pretty awesome. Enjoy it before you get to OP levels, as it sadly does not scale with the enemies.

Didn't even realize they were called firework grenades. But those things are always a huge gamble to use anywhere near a ceiling. Their damage is absolutely insane for their level, but if you use it near any sort overhang that it could bounce off of, it instantly become playing Russian Roulette with 5 of 6 chambers loaded.

And using it outside means you throw it directly at your targets head or watch it fly away and make a tiny puff in the sky.


Goddamn do I want to abandon TPS now and just play more BL2.

Contraband firework isn't a whole lot more dangerous than a normal grenade mod, but it definitely takes practice. The only real downside to it is you can't reliably use it nearby or downwards. And it doesn't regen.

Poor tannis. She can't even cross a hello with a stranger withouth vomiting blood. Shes petulant but funny. Arrogant but deliver. Shes a sociopath but I don't think has killed anyone and she is capable of empathy somehow.

Tannis smothered one of her co-workers to death as a mercy kill but chose to think of her dying moments as a friendly conversation even as her co-workers lungs pooled with blood and then left her corpse for the Skags.

Anthony Burch opened up his relationship with his wife and turned into a resentful abuser when he couldn't get any on the side & she got a different bloke every other day. 'At least I'm not Anthony Burch' was a meme for a while a few years ago

Anthony Burch's troubles aside, i guess Ashly Burch coming back means that they didn't shoot down Troy Baker because of union issues, since she's a union member now too.

People can't always afford to let embarrassing things get in the way of work, so I'm assuming that maybe Ashly and whoever handles the VO direction/recording are just going to handle it like professionals? :shrug:

I don’t think being persona non grata with the internet would make you unwanted by Gearbox, considering their CEO is Randy Pitchford.
