I don't recall that quest giving you a backpack upgrade. You get it from fixing the claptrap in there. I'm also not sure if you get additional backpack upgrades in playthrough 2.

They are, and its the first 5 fix claptrap missions in playthrough 2 that have a chance of giving you a grenade mod instead of the sdu. The Knoxx one in playthrough 1 is the same way. You should have 72 slots total if they all give you the proper rewards.

So I looked it up and some claptrap rescue quests have a chance to give you SDUs on playthrough 2 which seems very unintentional or at the very least not something that’s worth trying for

Yeah, 2nd playthrough the quests having only a chance for the backpack upgrade is dumb. Just play it through the second time, you'll stop giving a gently caress about picking items up. The money caps at just short of a billion iirc, but actually accrues up to 2.6 without displaying it. You'll have more inventory space than you will want anyway. Or just use gibbed

Handsome collection has all the dlc plus TPS, and routinely goes on sale for $15. (Getting all the DLC on PC, unlike consoles, was painful and expensive before they finally brought the bundle to Steam a few months ago).

Odd question: I wanted to try making a save file for the original borderlands so I could get the little legacy bonuses in 2 and TPS. However booting up the game just brings me an error message with a big load of garbled text that I assume is some sort of broken code. I don't particularly care about the older version of 1 besides those bonuses. Is there a solution?

Update: I found a solution! Might want to keep this in mind if you had the same problem.

I think, or at least hope, that it means that you dont need to switch elements with this nuclear thing when slag didnt boost slag damage. It just straight up makes enemies take more damage.

I will withhold judgement of slag v2 in BL3 which is in no way reusing anything from other games be it concepts, character designs, or game design in general. Is there perhaps a slowing or freeze effect in place using the nuclear which is in no way related to slag which people didnt like?

yeah I’m not gonna assume that it’s just slag 2.0 until we see how much vulnerability it gives. Remember that slagged enemies took double damage in NVHM and TVHM, and triple damage in UVHM

Did you know that right after you kill the Destroyer you can get downed by who knows what and bleed out and it cancels Angel's cutscene, rolls the credits, and charges you for a respawn when you get back in the game? I didn't, but I found out 10 minutes ago. Thanks Gearbox! :v:

Essentially if what i think is right it will be overpowered and far and away the best element in the game. So im probably wrong and they try to balance it that will make it either useless or unweildy.

My buddy and I were both incapacitated against Zarpadon last night in TPS. We won the race against her last few pixels of HP and her death cinematic played. Now it fades out of that to black and back into the game, and likely the instant the fade in finished, it faded back out and I died. He had clearly gotten the kill without announcement, and I was neither revived nor given extra time to be revived.

People complain about this a lot but even beyond Randy having nothing to do with it, 1) Game of the Year doesn't actually mean anything concrete so technically they could slap a wet turd in every copy instead of a disc and still call it that, 2) I'm pretty sure the bulk of the missing DLC literally did not exist when the GOTY edition was released, and 3) most if not all of the missing DLCs are totally inconsequential. I guess if you hate yourself the second level cap increase is important but aside from that it's just the Headhunter maps and a pile of cosmetics.

The main reason the GOTY sucked was because it was a much worse value than the Handsome Collection, but the Handsome Collection wasn't released on PC until years after the console version.

While I agree it's silly they waited to repackage the Handsome Collection for PC for another 2+ years after the console release, keep in mind the Handsome Collection came out 1.5 years after the original GotY bundle as a re-release for new consoles in the first place. By that time the PC version had tons of sales already and you could frequently buy the whole packages in the form of "franchise bundles" on Steam.

which cost considerably more than the handsome collection on console (when also on sale). that's without even including the minor cosmetic stuff.

in addition to what Rinkles said about the relative value, the handsome collection is still ~$60 on steam despite the console version being relegated to bargain bins. i think the collection going on sale for the first time on steam was a part of this new steam resurgence, along with the BL3 announcement.

Buddy and I went through the last 2-3 story missions for TVHM in TPS. The amount of enemies seems to be 2x-3x what was there in normal and we kept running out of ammo and spamming pirate ships. But the studio was so proud of their cold element addition that the crappy cold legendary laser I picked up in the penultimate level loving steamrolled to the end of the game. Not much resistance to be had when everything freezes solid (including the final mid-boss) or takes disgusting amounts of damage from cold (final boss' final form).

We're both L50, have probably 2-3 sidequests left, and are completely over the vast emptiness and lack of vehicles in this game. Fragtrap is still hilariously fun though.

Mind you this positive-sounding commentary required a second run, the community patch tuned quite aggressively, AND a loot drop mod to smooth out this game.

I don't think the console release of Handsome Collection started off with massive sales, so I doubt the cost difference was really significant if you waited for PC sales, but yeah it was sales prices vs. retail price and Handsome Collection on PS4/Xbone was cheaper overall. But the PC collection has had plenty of sales before, at similar prices to what I see during PSN sales.

Either way, that's 2k Games and they've been shown to be one of the greediest publishers since shortly after the new console launches, Steam sales got scaled back a bit when they dropped the flash sales. They refuse to give (meaningful) discounts on DLC for ages. But that's across all 2k franchises so it's hard to pin this on Raunchy Randy.
