Are they making any games for anyone else that they can steal the budget from?

It's going to be always-online, so their microtransaction lootboosters won't have to compete with cheatengine.

I'm playing a minigun moze and thinking of restarting. My skills don't do anything different outside of Bear and when I jump in my fuel gies really quickly. Maybe when I get to ice miniguns rhat will change.

Have the skill trees vanished from the borderlands website? I was just visiting to decide if I want to play Amara or Zane and I can't see them.

Edit: Why does this game punish starting a new game so harshly? I have to alt-tab and wait through huge amounts of unskippable cutscenes and claptrapping, occasionally tabbing back to walk a few metres.

You can queue for them like you would multiplayer. There's a Proving Grounds option and a mini raid i can't think of the name of right now.

I found a 'proving grounds' option in Social, but is there a way to do them solo? Setting my group privacy settings to 'local only' just locked me out entirely. I don't seem to be able to skip the matchmaking and go in either.

What do I need to do to be able to open the single-player Proving Grounds? Mose just says 'missing some equipment' when I try to activate the one on Promethea. Do I have to progress the main story more?

Some of my Vladof have the option to engage additional barrels to increase ROF. Is there any reason to use normal mode?

This plot really, really doesn't make sense. Unless Lilith is literally brain-dead.

What am I missing about weapons like this? Yeah they have fancy effects... but they don't seem to actually kill anything.
(it's got that weird flesh-goop on it, if you can't make it out on the image)

Everyone is on a race to open all vaults. Corporations, bandits and other vaulthunters. I think we have to think that withouth our actions, that power will end in bad hands.

So, the Calypso twins want the power inside vaults and if we get it that would presumably be bad. So what are we going to do? Try to open a vault of course! We succeed, open a vault, and the twins get the power inside and it's bad. What's the next step Lilith? Apparently it's to open another vault.

Wouldn't we be better suited going after the actual problem, i.e. the twins? Or if that's not on the table for some reason we should play keep-away with the vault relics keeping them out of the hands of the twins and not opening vaults with them. The only way the plot so far makes sense is if Lilith is actively working for the twins.



Does Thin Red Line activate Desperate Measures? I assume not, but...

Edit: What does the 'double penetrating' on this bad boy do?

do people forget that you actually stop the calypsos from getting the power of the eden-6 vault? and yeah, Lilith’s character arc is getting over her fear of failure and finally attacking the calypsos head on.

She claims she slurped it up from the dead guardian.

I'm getting my rear end whipped by like half the bosses. Not even close to killing Killavolt, not getting through the shields on the Captain guy on Athenas.

Make sure to use Shock on Taunt. He's resistant to fire, cold and corrosive.
Also, his weak point is on his back.

There's lots of checkpoints, and if you quit you'll come back to the last checkpoint. If you Travel away you'll have to run the full distance back.

DPS is often higher but accuracy suffers. Great on Atlas ARs since seeking makes all the bullets hit anyway.

I don't grok the ending.
I already killed the destroy-ything. Let Elpis shatter Pandora, I don't give a gently caress.
I guess if there's an even bigger destroyer inside I can kill that too and get some even better loot?

If that's not possible is there any place online to find save files for the PC version? I'm just looking for basic save files where the main story is complete.

All the saves I can find are level 50 + covered in legendaries.

Playing through a second time, I'm using this trainer. XP set to 2x so I can focus on the main quest and ignore the sidequests until I've done it, and money set to 5x so I can ignore any items that I don't actually want (and would just be picking up to sell).

I play on PC so whenever characters start yammering I alt-tab and browse the internet until they stop. I can't imagine playing this on console. I guess I'd be going and getting a lot of snacks.

Fake edit: I was doing this on the first playthough, so it's not just a 'subsequent playthroughs' thing.
