The Official Borderlands 2 Thread: Wub wub

Finally got my first orange drop last night.

Of course, it’s a Lv17 slag SMG. I’ll keep it for an alt, I suppose. It dropped off either Tector or Jimbo Hodunk as I was coming back from Lynchwood.

Has anyone noticed that there aren’t as many gibs in this game? BL1 had limbs freely flying off whenever you shot someone, and headshots popped heads. Now that only seems to happen when you’ve out leveled whatever you’re killing, and there’s no hitting Midget legs off.

The rating of the equipment, you know, in order of crappy->good: white, green, blue, purple, orange. (Not sure where E-tech pink guns fall, probably between purple and oj.) The mission card will show you what ranking gear it’s gonna give you near the bottom.

I have seen gibs all over the place as salvadore, but that’s probably because I use shotguns and rocket launchers.

Oh, of course you get them with explosives. I’m just talking about not having limbs randomly fly off when you kill something, or human enemies’ heads exploding whenever you shoot them (though like I said, I was running through the Highlands yesterday and headshotted some Hyperion personnel who were way lower level than I was and their heads popped).

Then again, maybe I’m just used to punching arms off as Brick.

Can you believe I never went to Caustic Caverns the entire first playthrough? Just did some missions and grinding there, now just about 10% shy of level 42 which will help

So I decide to roll Salvador with some friends for bro-op action I finally get to level 5 and try out “Gunzerking” and it’s the most underwhelming goddamn ability ever. Maybe when I get some better guns or something but damn it’s like a watered-down version of Brick’s rage there’s hardly any noise at all.

BTW I’m specing mine with the Gunlust tree. Everybody and their mother plays him as a tank.

I have a friend rolling Gunzerker who I pretty much played to Lvl 50 with … I don’t know his build offhand, but he wrecks stuff. So don’t sweat it.

See, I’m hearing mixed things about Salvador. I was planning on playing the Mechromancer when she came out, but in all probability I’ll have maxed out Maya before the 16th. So I was thinking about picking up Salvador, but you guys make me have second thoughts. Some people say he’s a blast and some people say he’s dull to play. WHICH IS IT??!?!?:sleep:

Maybe I’ll just pick up Zero after all…his ability is similar to Lilith’s, which is what I loved about her, so maybe he’ll be the best for me after all.

The accuracy talent makes me able to be accurate with shotguns at assault rifle range, you regen health after gaining an instant amount back, you can throw 2 grenades at once for the price of one, you have a 50% w/o mods chance to not consume ammo when you shoot, and you just steamroll through people.

So, how long did it take for most folks before they got the Bee?

All I know is that this one Hyperion sniper rifle I have nags like a bitch.

Psn Blubaloo
Zero because his name is Zero hes a robot(maybe not but close enough for me) with a laser sword thats all I need to say. Mine is built as a carry pretty much I’m building him to ohko out of stealth pretty much or last hit anything that has low health. I was gonna max out bloodshed tree but tbh final skill seems op but it being a kill skill turned me off(not a fan of kill skills) so I might end up going with kunais I think the ult for sniping is pretty OD but i dont wanna put points in that tree.

I found this guy today in Thousand Cuts. Don’t ask what I was doing there at Lv.30, I don’t even know.

His head looks horribly out of place. It’s smaller than a normal Bruiser head, too. Is this a developer or something? He didn’t drop anything, either.

Also Tediore shotguns are butt. I went right back to the new Jakobs I found after this.

Probably because he makes a good tank and each class has one of those “her der” obvious trees on how to play them. Commando has a fine tanking tree as well, but it’s more self focused.

I’m running around as Gunzerker Regenning more health than they can dish out, get low? FUCK IT! ZERKER TIME!

Still getting low somehow? Fuck it! Flip them the birds and I instantly have all health and all the attention, allies can sweep up. Also I can still lay out the hurt pretty well. Second tree I am dipping into is the green one. Forgot the name, but I like the weapon swap and free reloads.

Gunlust.

Sorry for not replying earlier, I had been playing for like an hour and my head was killing me =/ “Mighty Morphin” solo is a pain.

Over 50.

Or, two full levels (29-31).

I mowed down Hoodunks for an hour, and then said fuck it - Imma catch it on the TVHM side.

Blue ball comes slowly.

I think Maya might be this game’s Roland.

Blue ball comes slowly.

Was on the same mission, figured we could do it together lol. But that is alright, next time.

That mission pisses me off as I will be picking up a mission thing for it (The Stinger) and either Tiny fucking Tina or Mordy will say something and it won’t count what I just picked up. Last time I did this had to kill nine of these things and try to lure them away from Mordy fire to finish it.

What do Hodunks have to do with it? Just keep killing Hunter Hellquist until it drops, which it did for me tonight.

Nothing.

I got my Bee, then tried for the legendary Hoodunk SMG,

Blue ball comes slowly.

took me 3 hours for the level26 bee, lololol
