Maybe try a grenade jump? Unequip your grenade mod and throw the basic one at your feet, jump in front of it just before it explodes

You guys just reminded me how good Claptastic Voyage was. In my humble opinonion it's the best of all the DLCs for both games, except Tiny Tina's.

Which again reminds of how amazing the music for TT was. Like, listen to this poo poo:

Did anyone install the Ultra HD pack on PS4 pro? If so, how is the performance hit? I play on max FOV so I'm a bit worried it'll tank the framerate

I always figured the later stuff (OP levels, raid bosses, etc) were pretty much designed with someone having a save editor in mind.

RIP consoles (me).

I guess that's why I ignored the OP levels, couldn't bother re-farming everything and the balance feels pretty good for me at 72, including being able to kill a good bunch of the raid bosses solo with either Salvador or Zer0

Sooo, Moze looks great, but I wonder if the mech will conflict with my enjoyment of guns and loot... Is she the character for people who don't want to struggle with RNG gun loot or am I mistaken?

Re: Playing solo. Fl4k's pets are amazing at finding that last lone enemy stuck on geometry on the other side of the area, and/or cleaning up the last rakks or ratches or whatever. This pleases me greatly. ALSO, in the Jabber tree, you can have your pet revive you if you are close enough. This has saved me countless times when I'm downed and the enemies are hiding, or there are no enemies left.

And the humour is not very good.

IMO the humor is great. The quest with the guy stuck in the porta-potty gave me my hardest laughs in a long while! The janitor-bot slurping enthusiastically when cleaning diarrhea almost killed me. There is truly a lack of good toilet-humor in most "adult" media and games these days, and Borderlands fills that fart-shaped gap in my heart.

So I finally got the "fall through the world forever" bug and had to log out.

then when I logged in, my bank was empty. :rip:

Hold up, I just saw a bunch of posts on the gearbox forums where people mentioned losing their bank after falling through the world, especially after the Troy fight.
So it seems more and more likely that this is one of the causes of the bank bug. But how the fuckkkkkkk does falling through the skybox delete your bank??
I did fall through after Troy on my first playthrough without losing my bank though. Were you on your second playthrough?

I got legendary COMs on my second and third Agonizer 9000 kills, then 3-4 more over the course of 20-30 kills. This was on normal mode Mayhem 2 by the way, so not bad at all!

Gotta give credit to the Tommy Wiseau quest as being the only quest to get an honest laugh out of me so far. Maybe just because I wasn't expecting it.

The quest in Lectra City where you try to help the guy stuck in a porta-potty was the comedic highlight for me! So silly xD

That gun is great for a crit build flak, until you pick up a rowans call or lucians call and just go into full on ricochet mode and annihilate everything surrounding your target. The headsplosion just doesn’t have the firing speed to take full advantage of flaks guerrillas in the mist.

I got a few lucians calls but the damage seems kind of low - even when critting TTK is much higher than other good guns. What am I missing?

This event has made me realize how much I hate FOMO. With the recurring Hex (even though they nerfed it) I always knew that if I kept playing I would get it eventually. Knowing that the Recurring Ghast Call is super OP and that I'll have to hurry and grind if I want to get it before the event is over makes me feel bad. It's made the game more unpleasant and stressful to play, especially seeing that about 15 of the 25 Captain Haunt kills I've done have dropped NOTHING.

I guess I shouldn't care about it, but I'm kind of susceptible to tricks like FOMO and the lack of stuff like that has been part of why I like Borderlands - I can/could play it at my own pace.

I played BL2 nonstop for about a year before I got bored of it, only to find myself coming back years later to play through again.

I played BL3 for about 2 weeks before I was sick of it and haven't been back since.


That's the real difference.

Is it possible the year+ of nonstop bl2 made you tired of borderlands in general? That's how it feels for me at least, having grinded bl2 as well. I'm still having fun with this, but the "magic" is dulled, like I've built up a tolerance to it

Can someone give me pointers on how to beat Wotan on mayhem 4 with Fl4k? That fat fucker insta killing my pet really pisses me off and the fact that I have no ista heal abilities or good damage reduction really feels like phase 3 just one shots me. It's also possible I'm just bad.

Yeah, struggling to survive the takedown with fl4k as well. Damage is no problem but I die too quick.

If anyone is on PS4 and have a Last Stand Otto Idol they could dupe me I'd be greatful.

Tip for your pet dying: in the skills menu, if you select another pet the dying one will despawn and the one you chose will spawn healthy next to you. You can also choose a different pet, back out of menu, then immediately go to menu and choose the original one again. If you have the menu ready you can even do it on multiplayer no problem

Mayhem 2.0 and the cartel yellowcake/o.p.q. debacle kind of killed the fun for me, since I like some variety. I hope the new update fixes that stuff!

I must say, even though it's great they are updating all the time, I kind of miss how I experienced BL2. I came in late enough that the game was kind of locked in, and all the warts became something I just accepted and worked around, carving out a playstyle that could even rely on bugs to work. Now, everytime I settle into a build or gear I know it might become unusable soon.

Still love the game though, especially the dlcs

No way to make particular underbosses show but when you reach Joey you can see which two are with him, and when you get the one you want keep killing them, then let Joey kill you, you can kill them again after respawn until you kill Joey. If you don't get one you want, restart. You have to fight an underboss at the mansion entrance again, but then you can drop down and start the Joey fight again with another pair of underbosses.

You can also fast travel to the entrance then run back to the fight if you dont't want to lose $$$
