What's with the eh... bretonnian dance, sir?

So where's a good place to farm Badasses (Or others?) for heads? I've found a grand total of 1 so far and it was from a lucky drop off some BA Marauder in the Shelf.

Also the only oranges I've seen are a shield that shoots corrosive homing spikes, and the bee shield(which is ridiculous)

The Bee and Conference Call on Salvador is seriously the most amazingly broken thing ever right now. Like you can go to any boss, virtually any at all and that sucker's going to die within a few seconds.

So far my only Orange weapon so far came from lucking out with Moxxi's slot machines, some sniper rifle with red Man Killer text.

Also speaking of Goliaths, two corrosive Goliaths fighting is hilarious, they just stand there and vomit on each other, for eternity.

Can anyone confirm that (end boss spoiler) the Warrior drops the Conference Call shotgun? I've been trying to find one and both of my gold drops so far have been Volcano sniper rifles.

He does indeed, but get ready to cry when that sucker flies off into the out of bounds lava.

1: They seriously need more uses for Eridium. Make engaging Terra cost like 30 Eridium per time or something or better yet, let you buy gold keys for high amounts or something.

2: drat the slot machines forever. I've gotten Triple Eridium like 10 times, Vaults 2 times and Moxxi Legs a good few times, but I've still never seen a single Marcus roll.

Is there a picture chart of all the heads and skins and how/where to get them? I'm finding piecemeal lists all over the place, but actually seeing at least just the heads would be awesome.

Here's all the heads (Minus the LE - Minecraft - Vault Vet - Handsome Jack) but yeah, they're still working out another with the info on how to get them. A good couple are just random Badass drops I know.

That 4th one is Flight Helmet, it comes from killing Midge-Mong, or whichever mission that is in the first town that gives you a head. Also the 9th going from left is a default.

M0t0cr0ss Marauder is definitely not a default one. The one preceding it on the left (Gh0st) is a default one. You're probably right about Blast Shield, though.

There we go, Blast Shield, I thought I was messing that name up. Though huh, I thought I had that one that looks like it has a cap on from the start, though admittedly I've only played a little Zero so I'm probably misremembering.

Those two and the Bandit Warpaint are my favorite. For a long while I was warpaint with the Tannis head, pretending I was Tannis after possibly having gone completely bananas and becoming a bandit lord of Pandora... or something like that.

Dahl Elite combined with Axton's Vault Vet helmet looks really good, gives off this kind of desert spec-ops look.

So is Laser Sight actually worth taking if I wanna play *Relax while the turret does all the work* Axton? I've heard reports ranging from it doing absolutely nothing, to it just adding a :krad: laser to the turret, to making it crit on near every shot when maxed.

The latest Zero Punctuation is up, and Yahtzee isn't a fan of Borderlands 2. I usually enjoy his reviews, but it's pretty apparent he doesn't "get" the game. All I could think was "wrong, wrong, wrong" the whole time. It's so bad I'm not even going to link it. (okay, so that's mainly because I'm on my phone..)

Like a minute in and it's already stupid.

"The 4 new vault hunters who are totally different from the first 4, but not in any practical sense." Yeah totally guy, they didn't change up the classes at all. :rolleyes:

"Gearbox is trying to dress up the sequel as being bigger and better, with it being neither of those things." For sure, drat them for just putting some new (But not really new!) characters in the same game, with the same missions, with nothing new or entertaining added, oh wait, they didn't do that.

"Why can't I track more than one quest at once, maybe I'd like to do a couple in the same general area at once." Then maybe you should work on your memory or god forbid, open the mission menu and take a look if you've forgotten.

"Did I mention that the vehicles in Borderlands handle like rear end, because they do." That's just annoying, because if anything the vehicles are almost too responsive at times, which is a good thing once you actually drive around in them for more than 5 minutes and learn how they handle.

I think I want to play Axton, but I have bad memories of Roland in BL1 being kinda bad, in that you spent a load of skill points on a turret that sucked, and your own DPS wasn't exactly stellar either.

Can anyone who's levelled him a bit comment? Is he better this time around, or should I just go for Maya?

Axton can straight up go do something else while his turret hails everything down if you put points into the right skills. He's pretty dang fun.

Does anyone know if the turret laser skill is worth taking? I usually put one point in it because it looks cool, but it's kind of hard to gauge the benefits.

Asked the same question a little bit back then played around with it myself, Laser seems to give it better range and it starts to crit a lot more often.

Most of the grenade AR's I find are pretty much just vendor trash for one reason or another, but I got a really nice blue, shock grenade AR from finishing Fink's Slaughterhouse. The only problem is it doesn't work like every other I've seen, it shoots waaay above the mark in a sort of arc. So you end up drat near staring at the ground if you want those shots to hit anyone in front of you, then just varying degrees of looking at dirt if they're far off.

Delacroix posted:

The Hail seems so impractical I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a joke because if it shot at a less crazy arc, it would be fairly decent.

I know right? When I can hit people with it, it does a number on them, but that's again counting on the idea that I'll hit these people with anything more than maybe 1/4 of my capacity.

Also the talking AI shotgun is beautiful, but it makes me a little sad that it's so crummy for me. By the time I finished the quest it got to being a good few levels below me, but I don't have the heart to bank the guy.
