The Official Borderlands 2 Thread: Wub wub

Double Up is pretty fun. Once I hit Level 50 I may toss the points elsewhere to get Longbow.

Has anyone else heard Gaiges idle dialogue? She starts going off the wall and talking about how she cut her own arm off and then built a mechanical arm that can smash concrete. :rofl:

Love this game. Online play pisses me off though. Bastards stealing my loot all the damn time. Only play this with friends, not randoms, but I guess that’s common sense.

she talks about the arm in her echo log 2

Idk why people are saying the Gunzerker cant do much. He is this games tank. He takes damage like a boss. Auto-regens: health and ammo. Gunzerk with a slag weapon and some super high damage weapon + the bee is overkill against a lot of enemies in TVHM. He doesnt need a distraction if you have implosion grenades to bring in enemies. I like the guy. Dude loves to kill. He loves guns. Ever hear him squeal when opening a chest saying “ooo new weapons” or something along those lines. Hes a good character in my eyes.

Sal is top three, imo.

I give Zero the benefit of doubt, given melee, and say he is tied with him.

Blue ball comes slowly.

So who’s the best character then?

That’s IF you go down the Tanking tree does he really qualify as one. Commandos Red tree gives him the same thing, if not better with a more team friendly bent ('Zerkers he can’t really die but has to put himself at risk, Commando can be downed but regens and gives allies benefits). But yeah Gunzerker can put out a lot of damage and has some great utility if you dig into the other trees. Generalizing a characters strengths isn’t going to work with three skill trees to go down, need to break everyone down based on what tree they main to see who is where in the tiers.

Also why must the Bee be used to end all be all? I don’t even have a single one and my characters are perfectly capable of mass murder. Reliance on a soon to be nerfed item on a build is rather meh.

What gun is that?

miss moxxi’s good touch

i would go ahead and say, i believe salvador is the strongest playable char in blands2 right now.
the character balance is good enough though, that all 4 are perfectly fine to be chosen.

You should see how many Commando builds have per-requisites like:

YOU NEED THE LEGENDARY SOLDIER CLASS MOD

I swear I’m like in the minority who uses Gunlust with Salvador and not “ZOMG HE CAN TANKKK!”

Sent from the next dimension using Sayintalk

How do you get it? Is that the one you have to tip for? I put almost 20,000 in there with Gaige and didn’t get shit back…

Also, my tier list:
Salvador
Maya
Gaige
Axton
Zero

Sal is just a fucking powerhouse. His damage reduction and damage output gets ludicrous once you really start going down his tree. I also don’t understand why people don’t see Maya as that good of a character. She is one of the most independantly powerful characters in the game if you invest in her trees correctly. However for some reason people seem to be maxing out the Ruin tree, and then heading to the Harmony tree. I started working on Motion after I got Ruin.

Phaselocking, pulling everyone towards the phaselock, and then throwing a singularity grenade ***on top of ***relentless shotgun blasts=fucking godly.

Wtf how is Axton second from last.

TWO turrets. TWO.

maya is like… a sub-par solo character (probably go ruin+the gravity thing+quicken) and a pretty good team character (probably res+wreck+quicken)

as far as the turrets go… i have no idea how good or bad they are. in blands1 they were pretty pointless, sorry roland.

If you’re just going for “Lol Damage”

-Sal
-Axton
-Gaige/Zero(?)
-Maya

Once you get “Ruin” with Maya she becomes LOADS more fun Solo. It’s just a pain doing so. I don’t have the best gear but my Siren still wrecks shit.

Roland’s sucked outside of a few things, Axton’s on the other hand are amazing and can lay waste to practically anything. Hell some builds the Turret is your main damage dealer, and as a player all you do is look pretty when you send him out to feed. Kind of like Deathtrap but less annoying.

Don’t mind me:

MY god, is the PS3 version of this game a complete and utter piece of shit, compared to the PC version.

I’m not talking asthetics, either.

The aim is about ten times slower than on PC, even set to the highest sensitivity.

I cannot count the number of times I’ve gotten stuck on non-existent edges… at spots as stupid as GOING UP A SET OF OPEN STAIRS.

But the absolute worst part, is when I am firing, nigh point blank on enemies, and MY SHOTGUN (x17 spread, 19 shots, as fast as holding down the trigger) misses.

This isn’t even talking with irrational obstacles, like a rope, getting in the way - I could deal with that.

But in open range?

Screw that shit - I’m done.

With the PS3 version.

It is fucking bullshit.

At least it was a MAYA that I raised on PS3, so nothing was truly lost except time.

I’ve grown a taste for Bandit shotguns on Gaige. Maybe because they feel more like a traditional FPS shotgun and allow me to get close and reload while DT tanks. Plus their capacity is nice. I miss S&S :frowning:

Sorry I rushed through that and made some dumb decisions phantasy. Double Gaige is fun though.

A couple oddities I’ve found over the past couple days:

• While I was in the Hyperion arena with a friend, I died and supported from the balcony. I was using a Tediore smg and when I ran out of
ammo, instead of doing the reload throw animation, the gun simply appeared on the ground and exploded while my current clip only had 3 or so ammo left. It was hard to tell exactly what was going on.

• Occasionally my rocket launcher just won’t fire rockets. It’ll play the animation and the firing sound, but nothing will come out. This has happened on a couple launchers so far.

Got a big feeling I’m gonna have to end up fighting her.

For the simple reason that I have not yet even touched Axton OR Zero. :sweat:

I’ve been trying to get Gaige and Maya ready for the add-ons.
