New hotfix coming today. With two new events (the current ones are ending), big Moze changes, and some gear changes (Lob is no longer a 3-shot)

    Slot Machine Mania pays out big time! There’s an increased chance to win Legendary gear from Slot Machines, and for grenades to spawn (because who doesn’t like a little risk?). There’s still a chance for other loot to drop, but the rate has been reduced so you can win Legendaries (and take damage)!

    Trials Take-All boosts the rewards awarded during the Proving Ground Trials. Bosses will have a 100% chance to drop loot from their pools during the event.


    ADJUSTMENTS FOR MOZE, THE GUNNER:
    We have been taking a closer at Moze the last few weeks. Here at the first set of hotfixes based on those investigations, primarily focused on improving her survivability. We will be further addressing some areas we identified as trouble spots for her in the future.

    Reduced the cooldown time for Iron Bear
    Increased the amount of fuel for Iron Bear
    Increased the bonus on “Behind the Iron Curtain” skill
    Increased the bonus on “Security Bear” skill
    Increased the bonus on “Experimental Munitions” skill

    WEAPON BALANCE
    Damned
    Increased weapon damage

    Hyperion Weapon Shields
    Increased the amount of damage weapon shields absorb

    The Lob
    Increased Fire Rate
    Reduced projectiles from 3 to 1

    Tiggs Boom
    Increased weapon damage
    Increased damage from the Starfall meteors

    Moonfire
    Increased weapon damage
    Increased Critical Damage Bonus

    Good Juju
    Non-critical hits now increase Critical Damage Bonus by 20%. This bonus stacks 25 times and is removed upon manual reload.

shoulda picked up all those tiggs booms and moonfires when I was looking for a redistributor

Alo they fixed the Stone com to actually do what it's supposed to

I have a class mod that reduces fuel consumption by 50% and increases duration by the same. I get like 90% of my kills with Iron Bear. I might as well alt-tab between cooldowns for all the good it does to fight with Moze.

Blastmaster is a good out-of-IB class mod, and it also affects IB's splash weapons

you gotta not mind the constant explosions, though, to maximize it's potential

Shh don't let them know! This is how I run poo poo. I'd say my kills are 40/60 between me and IB, but whenever a badass shows up I tend to drill their head with dual miniguns (fire and ice) and then pop out after the larger threats have been eliminated.

Anointments are a more important thing than the gun itself.

I'm trying to use an emote for one of the sidequests that requires it, but every time I hold down the Options button on my PS4 controller I just get some weird Playstation icon appear for a moment. It looks like a square with a camera icon. Does anyone know what's going on here and why i can't access the emotes?

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
Purple with a good anoint is often good enough, especially levelling up, and even at max level there are a few purples that don't have strictly better legend counterparts. Best example I think is the Atlas Q-system rifle, which fires 2 bullets for one ammo for very high output. I see a number of Zane streamers use it with SNTNL Cryo.

Also purple shields with multiple instances of vagabond on.

Your controller is apparently treating the Options button as the Share button, and saving screenshots to your hard drive. Are the buttons remapped?

Some purples are better than their legendary equivalent. The Q system is a good example.

The Carrier, legendary atlas AR, is great if you have a lot extra elements on it (anointments and similar stuff), because each instance creates a new projectile (Amara's probably best for this). I don't know that a regular Q system would be very good on M4.

A lot of the purple torgue launchers are pretty good. Moze can abuse the sticky mechanic with her free ammo skills/annoint. Flak likes multiprojectile weapons because of megavore, and the stagecoach (regular jakobs shotgun) can have a lot. Multi pellet Bangsticks (torgue shotgun) plus gorrilas in the mist is also a powerful combo.

Just go to the J-X terminal on Sanctuary, dude. You'll need a decent (but not huge) supply of eridium but you'll roll an anoint on a plain one fairly quickly in my experience. Usually isn't that hard to get what you're after fairly quickly if you farm bosses that drop eridium

It's in Ellie's dock area in a purple hallway with Crazy Earl at the end of it. You pay eridium and it sells annointed items.

You'll hit the cap just on the new main story. There's a couple of items that you can't farm so you'll want to be at 57 but those are on side quests I think. I believe the last part of the questline for Seventh Sight is gated behind the end of the main story.

I wasn't aware of consciously remapping the buttons- do you mean within bl3 itself, or is this a remap with the playstation console? I've always had to hit the Options button to save a screenshot or video, but this wasn't an issue before when I started playing Borderlands.

What button do you use to quit? That should be the options button. Share is on the left, Options is on the right. Pretty sure you can't remap the share button.
