Playing the new Borderlands has me on a bit of a nostalgia kick. I see that Borderlands 1 is finally playable multiplayer over steam instead of the lovely and now defunct GameSpy; would anyone be interested in getting together a semi regular game or just loving around in it?

I remember having to wrestle with GameSpy back when this first came out and I'm glad it's gone. Might have IRL friends pop in and out and you would be welcome to bring yours as well.

The game just is bad compared to the later ones so I have no interest, OP. Sorry.

If you ever want to play the later ones lemme know; it's definitely missing some quality of life stuff they added.

borderlands 1 inventory system is great, but the snipers are awful thanks to enemies hearing the shot before the bullet reaches them and moving half the time :(

i dont remember specifically what the double thanatos is, but at the end of the day a Masher pistol with mordecai is all you really need to accomplish anything your heart desires

legendary repeater with a gigantic clip that fires two bullets at once. crazy good with certain skills. and yes mashers are a great choice too.

there was a specific type of repeater, I forget the name but it had stats so high they seemed like a weapon-generation glitch, but the downside was that the bullets were almost slow enough to outrun. And hell that thing mega owned on Mordecai as well.

Naah, it wasn't any named special thing, even though it did have a specific name thanks to the way the procedural gun generation worked.

It could be green or blue or purple since it was just a normal generated gun, I found like 4 of them total but only one that was high enough level to be worth using at endgame. They tended to have like 70-ish accuracy, a fire rate of 22-24, and the bullet damage of a power single-shot pistol of similar level. And the bullets moved insanely slowly but it would absolutely shred everything it touched, so combined with the low-ish accuracy it was the ideal close-range area-clearing spray weapon

i think that's the 'twisted' affix. it boosts a gun's damage a lot but makes it fire slow bullets in a corkscrew pattern.
