Does the Chere'amie also make a loud and horrible sound when you hit someone or is it just me. It's kinda hard using one of the best snipers in the game with that deafening glitch. Also dual sticky turrets with rocket pods is a thing of beauty.

It can't be worse than the gun that nags you after every shot. Or the good touch that will prematurely burn out your controller's motor in 30 minutes

I haven't had any sound issues with mine, no.

It's really great as a healing Maya since the transfusion orbs you generate A) generate from shooting friends too, B) will heal friends, and C) deal a percentage of what you dealt/healed, so the Bee amps them too indirectly.

Chere'amie owns for healing Maya.

All the characters are good. I just suck at Zero, but they're all good. All of them!

Important Note for anyone who wants to get that "Challenge Accepted!" achievement/trophy. Some challenges only appear when you've got several (or ALL) levels of challenges in some weapon types. I believe you need to splash-damage kill hundreds of enemies to get the kill-directly rocket challenge. (The hell?) This should probably be added near the OP because it's probably going to be a FAQ.

So is following Randy Pitchford and Gearbox Soft on Twitter the only ways to get keys to open that box in Sanctuary?

I guess I don't really understand how to obtain them or how they work and I'm going through my TVHM playthrough so I figure it might be a good idea to try and see what kind of goods I can pick up.

He is the one that gives them out, and 99% of the time they get posted here in a timely manner so you don't have to follow him if you don't want to. He went on a binge over the weekend, I think I redeemed 5 of them.

I'm guessing they work like any other redeemable code in that once they're used they're gone. So basically I'll need to race against everyone else to use one when they get posted?

They generally come in two forms - "lasts X number of uses" (usually 10k) or "lasts X number of time" (usually 2 hours).

Best one was the 5 key code that lasted less than 1 minute on each console. Basically required a keyboard plugged into your xbox/ps3 and to be constantly refreshing his twitter.


Keys are nice but oranges are generally superior as far as level 50 gear goes. I think you're better off using the keys every few levels around 40, whenever you feel like you need a better weapon (guns quickly get outclassed from 35 to 50). It does suck to use a key and get a bunch of grenade mods or shields or something you can't use though.

I'm doing the mission with the Gluttonous Thresher, and ho boy I keep dying and dying and dying as a Cunning Zer0. Most of my weapons are still level 37-38, because I went back to PT1 to do some DLC and arena sidemissions. Even the normal surveyers kills me at this point, so if you open the Golden chest in PT1, but you're level 40, does the purples scale to 40 or are they locked at level 30 like everything else in PT1?

I'm only level 20 right now but this was the clincher that made me go with Axton. Space wizards and dual wielding are all well and good, but a nuclear bomb that goes off whenever I deploy a special is a little hard to pass up.

(How effective *is* that nuke, for those who have it?)

You can farm a level 40 chest in TVHM Tundra Express if you're so inclined. I was going to type out an explanation, but it'd be way easier just to look it up on YouTube so you can see where to go.

Also the Thresher can be cheesed from a distance. Drag him to where the constructor was, run almost all the way back and crouch behind the little half wall with the crates. You can find various spots depending on which weapon you want to use to snipe the Thresher from.

I popped the chest a few times as a level 30+ Axton in PT1 and every time I had poo poo scaled to me come out, so I'd imagine it's fine.

I have both Maya and Gaige at 50 and I enjoy Maya more. I'm a big fan of elemental damage in this game and she makes it SO GOOD. The thing with Gaige is that I haven't found a build where I don't feel like I'm missing out on some really good skills, where with Maya the only thing I'd like to add to my build is Sweet Release.

If you have your hands on Salvador, thismakes things die quickly, especially when paired with a class mod giving +5 to Filled to the Brim, +6 to Lay Waste, and 2.2 team ammo regen. It also gives +4 to 5 Shots or 6, but that skill and Inconceivable have issues.

I wish they would fix that thing where Inconceivable and 5 Shots cause you to not automatically reload guns when they're empty- I can't use the final Rampage tree skill if I have to take my finger off the trigger, game :argh:

Honestly, I haven't missed them. I've taken points in the skills that increase my reload speed in general and my firing rate for 1) as long as I hold down the trigger 2) for a brief time on reload and 3) when I get a kill, and hoooooly poo poo does your shooting get fast once all three are up and running. I can empty a Vladof Revolution TMP with a 66 round mag in around two seconds flat.

It's glorious. And if I don't feel like reloading, kills reload my other pair of guns. :D

SO there's an iOS game coming out titled Borderlands Legends which is looking to be quite interesting. You can read about it here.



Isometric top down gameplay and it stars the original vault hunters, apparently letting you control all four at once.

Price tag is $4.99 on iPhone and $6.99 on iPad and it's out on October 31.

Huh, I'll have to try that out. I went down the middle tree first and then the right tree because I found a mod that buffed Hard To Kill and Juggernaut, which are the only two skills I have points in in that tree right now (lvl 41 here). If I can find a mod that adds to Lay Waste this looks awesome.

You have to link it in-game. Load up BL2 on your 360 and it should be pretty straightforward.
