So I just bought the Super Deluxe for 30 bux off of Amazon for the PS4, running Zane and just in the first area. Is there any grenade mod that was like in BL2 that just scaled with your level and flew around like a bottle rocket? That mod was the loving best, I would accidentally down myself so many times but the splash damage was insane.

There might be some grenade mods in your mail that'll scale to lvl 10 (I think, it's been a minute) but they get outclassed pretty quick. I can't think of any bottle rocket-esque mods offhand but there's plenty you can blow yourself up with.

Open "GameUserSettings.ini" in a word processor like Notepad, and then find the following setting "PreferredGraphicsAPI=DX12". Change "DX12" to "DX11" and then save and exit the file. Well, I did that. And now BL3 is hanging at the smaller splash window before the actual program even launches. gently caress.

It happens roughly 50% of the time I launch the game. Gearbox's programmers are borderline incompetent and the whole game is full of frustrations like this. Open task manager, then right click on Borderlands 3 (There may be two instances of this - sometimes there are, sometimes there aren't) then "End Task". Do this for both instances if there are two. Now relaunch the game and it SHOULD run. If not, repeat the above steps and try again.

I get the infinite splash screen if I tab to something else while said screen is up. Task manager does always clear it up though. Sure it isn't there? It'll be hidden among the big list of background processes, not the smaller apps list. On the subject of poo poo programming, I just jumped into this game and ended up needing to learn some basic loving programming just to allow me to rebind keys properly using autohotkey. There are so many completely different issues with key rebinds that I can't even remember them all. It is absolute insanity.

Yes, don't look in the top application section, it will be in the lower section. Click the name bar at the top to sort by name and look in the B's.

What I would do next is delete the configuration file in your previous quote. You should probably also reboot your machine as well. Try running the game again after that. The game should rebuild the config file automatically next time you run it and it will all be set to the default values which worked for you originally. If you are still having trouble with that, you should verify the game's files. This will make sure there are no missing or corrupt files.

Returning for the new expansion with an all-orange Zane. What's a comfortable Mayhem level to drop in at now the system's been overhauled?

You can adjust it frequently, it only takes you to your last New-U station. That's both if you change the level or reroll the effects. If you've never done Mayhem going straight to 10 is probably rough but 4-6 should be fine. There's a handful of loot that only drops at 6 or higher, but that probably only matters if you set out to farm those weapons. The Backburner (Agonizer) and Reflux (GenIVIV) are both very popular and are like this.

I hadn't come back for a while. The Hammerlock DLC is okay, kinda boring but as with all Borderlands content very pretty. The new bounty one is real good- mostly because the humor is a lot more subdued and the tone marginally more serious but not embarrassingly so. My old build with Seeing Dead and basically a mess of kill skills+clone+drone still works great at Mayhem 4-6 or so, particularly with specific guns. I know it's probably because many legendary guns are better with specific characters due to their potential builds but all Legendary guns seem to be very extreme in power. They either absolutely loving melt everything effortlessly, or they're effectively useless and you'd be better off with a random Epic.

Tough to kill anything to start with, but Seein' Dead Zane is still survivable enough to compensate, and I'm starting to get myself a serviceable stockpile of purple M5 gear to tide me over until the legendaries start dropping.

Does the new DLC have any repeatable content? Circle of Slaughter arenas for farming gear were something I missed from Handsome Jackpot and GLT.

Just took my Zane from 17 to 60 this week, what’s current top class mod to build around? And is Phasezerker still the go to for Amara? Currently got Moze with a Minesweeper/Bear build and and Red Fang/Rift build on Flak.

From what I hear, Ties That Bind no longer distributes damage with the boost from Do Harm (i.e. it doesn't count as "action skill damage" to shoot a Ties That Bound enemy) so 2x phasecast is probably the new high point. Not sure though.

Tried out a Facepuncher just now and it seems really strong again, maybe for the updated M10 scaling on melee. My Zane just happened to have a big melee bonus off his class mod which may have helped. May bear further investigation on Amara.

Not sure though. Ties that bind Amara is still busted. Hell it's even more busted. Before the update at mayhem ten I struggled to kill anything. Now I routinely see things dying from like 10m damage and higher.

It could be because I'm playing Zane and with the talents I choose I get double projectiles but I got a Hellshocker at like level 56 and I am almost instantly obliterating poo poo on Mayhem 6 with it provided they're susceptible to shock or fire. I'm going through the latest DLC and I killed the first couple of bosses in the space of 4-5 seconds of sustained fire. It's flat out better than 90% of the legendaries I'm getting now at level 60.

Beacon is very good as well. And I find Frequency, or at least a Cryo one whilst I have an Ice Breaker, is good in the hands of my Decoy, if not my own. Lots of instant freezes and knockdowns once it's doing 4-shot bursts. I'm still trying to decide if the Propitiatory Licence is as good as the Flipper, since both are better than carded. Flipper has a huge amount of output once it's going, but has both the initial charge up and a few shots before getting there. License is very hard to calculate because hits will either be a sticky (x2 damage overall) or a crit which isn't doubled but obviously does the boosted crit damage (which I think is fixed high by it's parts and being Hyperion) plus any damage from the ricochet. I think Licence just feels better on Zane, and I have a Fire SNTNL Cryo one, and it probably sees more return from Playing Dirty.

I just bought this and after a few minutes of playing realised that the reason everything felt so weird and reloading didn't work was because the game has emotes it doesn't tell you about and has no menu to re-bind them. Is there a way to do so outside of the game? I want to use the arrow keys for movement and since there's no way to change them via menus it's impossible to play this.
