They released keys for BL2 for the longest time and still may be so it's not like you'll ever really run out. You just may have to wait a bit for new key codes.

Should I use all gold keys the moment I hit 50 or is there some reason to wait?

I'd say they're more useful pre-50 and will only get less useful as you get more legendaries. Just pop em.

I beat Wotan on Mayhem 1 as Amara earlier, I'm glad for this scaling version so I can actually see what the Takedown is like for myself, Wotan itself was real rough, more for the thousands of rockets and never-ending gunfire coming from it.

Oh I am past 50, I was more wondering if there was some trickery that meant I should do certain content that would up my maximum gearscore or something. Doesn't sound like it, time for keys!

Anyone else finding selling inventory really tedious now? Once you skip some things to sell and move down your list it keeps reverting back to the top after each sale and you have to move back to where you were. Super annoying.

This thing has made every other weapon I have redundant. It's a nine shot, ammo efficient, rapid fire shotgun that melts everything I point it at on Mayhem 2, and with FL4K's crit skills I can get like twenty shots before having to reload. It ain't a sniper, but that doesn't matter if I survive the approach.


Edit: 36 shots before reload on the firing range.

Ghast Call fucks him up, like it does with every boss, there's no need to think of the Takedown again once the event ends, which is nice.

Post nerf, I think if you're going to use the ion cannon you'll want one with an expanded mag alongside a mag relic, otherwise you're getting 2 shots before a long reload. 2x (annexed) was always preferable but now it's a must because it's only one more ammo per shot (7 instead of 6) which in most cases will mean the same number of shots per mag. And you'll need a source of ammo regen. You can also do the absorb shield trick with the transformer for a few more shots if your cannon is shock (shoot at your legs and hope the missiles are absorbed---this obviously only works offensively at melee range).

Not really seeing more legendaries this event, but more anointments for sure.

I have 3 or 4 Maggies and I typically always walk around with one no matter which character I'm using because once in a while I realize the other stuff I have on me isn't doing the job and in those situations Maggie always comes through. It's probably the most consistently strong weapon in the game. Others might be better in specific situations against specific enemies but the Maggie kills anything.

I wonder if it would be faster to swap to the omniloader and reload.

If you want a sniper replacement, you want an Unforgiven to go with that Maggie.

If this were the only thing, then nobody would say anything. Don’t get me wrong it’s not a broken mess, but so far off the top of my head they have broken for no apparent reason and not fixed:
- noticeable inventory lag
- “connected to the network” messages when resuming from PS4 sleep that stay on the screen forever 80% of the times I start the game
- chucking grenades instead of using my powers randomly between 10 and 60% of the time trying (I NEVER had this problem at launch)
- you have to press down THEN right to select your weapons. If you just press right the cursor goes into some kind of limbo that you can’t see (I don’t remember this being an issue at launch, but I could be wrong)

And that’s not talking about all the things they broke but then fixed like not being able to mark weapons as junk, inventory icons being wrong until you select something, etc etc

Whoever their UI QA engineers are should be reassigned to play testing.

So what are drop rates looking like overall compared to BL2/TPS? Have they improved things to where you wouldn't feel the need to use a CheatEngine trainer to boost them?

I've managed 2 Redistributor drops from Wotan in the event, both anointed, both for characters I don't play, both with disappointing elements.

thought i had all the weapon skins, but today i found 2 new ones today. must've glanced over them before because they were white rarity. think cosmetics should've just had their own dedicated color, cause you're bound to miss some of the lower rarity ones, and it'd avoid the feelbad of a legendary turning out to be a skin you've already seen a million times.

went back to leveling moze after playing a bunch with zane and amara. i don't mind iron bear as much as i did before, but i don't like that the action skill disrupts the game flow. i want to be playing either as moze or the mech, not so much jumping between the two.

e:how's iron bear scale with mayhem? i know it used to be a problem.

Farm the rare spawn on m4. I got a few in about 30min of just booking it to him yesterday. Ignore everything and just hardcore parkour your way in. A doggo might follow you but they're not bad to kill solo. Especially with a cutsman.

Still no anointed one but whatever it's quick.
