So, I bought this two weeks ago and it’s the best game ever made. Well, maybe the funnest. I got an orange weapon at lvl 1 somehow lol, and it was still usefull at lvl 12. At lvl 1-10 it just ripped through shit like nobody’s business.
Is there anything better than finding an orange weapon? I thought th efun was over but then at lvl 1 I found an orange smg with incediary effect. Oh man, I am lvl 15 and it makes me think of the eraser button in microsoft paint. Enemies just dissapear.
Anyway. I am lvl 15 Axton. His turrent seems OP too. Wish I played BL1, but whatever this game is so good
You are incredibly lucky to find one that early. What is its name?
There’s nothing higher than Orange, but there are also Seraph (light pink) weapons in the first DLC that can be bought with raid currency. They generally have high power but low accuracy. E-Tech (Magenta) weapons are about as rare as purples, maybe a bit rarer. They’re gimmicky and deviate from the usual weapon archetypes and are often very damaging. They can be pretty bad (Shotguns lob a plasma ball) or very good (smgs, if not Bandit, are pretty much the same with bigger and somewhat-slower projectiles).
sheeeit, Ax has possibly the greatest action skill in the game. It’s useful in pretty much any situation where enemies and bosses are involved. One simple skill I’m loving right now that works with it is Battlefront (you get boosted gun/melee/grenade damage while the turret is out). I have 3 points on that so far… oh yeah I definitely intend to max that out, or over-level it depending on if I have a class mod that boosts it beyond the normal maximum. I already have the good stuff in that left skill-tree, including the last skill “Double Up”, the rockets, 7 points on Sentry thanks to a class mod…ohhhh it’s delicious.
*y’know, individual endings would’ve been nice… I think that would’ve provided some extra incentive to play all the characters through the story.
*my points were reset for some reason when I played my Mechromancer today… well, prime opportunity for some remixing anyway… I now have the last skill on her BFF tree, so Deathtrap is that much more ridiculous now. Currently, she has the orange “Impaler” shield, so he has a copy of that… I suppose a “May-Lay” type of shield might be better for him though, either that or a Nova type.
Does anyone have a spare Thunderball Fists that they would be willing to trade or dupe, by any chance? It’s an awful farm and I don’t feel like running from Liar’s Berg to Flynt over and over, even with a group.
I finally played through the main quest line of the Pirate DLC… “Leviathan” was one hell of a battle there. I wasn’t sure my poor little Gaige would ever get past that, even with that crucial variable assist from Deathtrap. She was level 35 at the time, on True Vault Hunter Mode. I got killed several times before finally beating that sumbitch. I had a good rocket launcher though that was hitting for 25k + per shot…so that was good on those weak spots. It wasn’t working for the last weak spot though…which took me awhile to even notice, btw. I had to use the Jakobs (fire element; the one from Scarlett, actually) pistol on that… it was the only thing fast enough to even get a shot off at that last weak spot since you don’t have much time to shoot at it amidst the chaos that’s going on if several worms are still alive. At least Deathtrap can deal with some of the worms while you’re trying to kill Leviathan. Man, Sal and Zer0 probably would have quite a problem there, since of course their action skills aren’t as good in terms of distraction. Well, Zero’s skill involves distraction, but of course it isn’t also doing good, continuous damage like Gaige and Axton’s skills.
*I noticed that you actually can snipe Leviathan from inside that cave area. You can get the health down significantly…BUT it just resets to full health once you actually go out there.
Tactical Hornet. It does 6 shot zoomed corrosive bursts at 19 damage. So, at lvl 1, that is pretty godly hehe.
I lost the orange I found at lvl 11 though. I was drinking and never noticed I swapped it out on accident when my inv was full. I searched for 30 min in the area and could not find it Oh well, I am lvl 21 so it would suck now anyway.
Axton’s skill is crazy though, yeah. I killed “Slappy” when it was skull rank difficulty with that turrent, and +3 and +2 to those last stand skills. Everytime I died I just killed a tentacle or the turrent killed it for me and I was alive again. That, and it acted like a tank while I ran away and shot “Slappy” with rocket launchers.
I got a grenade mod that gave me +9000 grenade damage at lvl 21. Pretty sweet
So, I’m on DLC 1 with my lvl 50 Zer0, and damn, Leviathan was easy. Go decepti0n, throw kunais, prepare your conference call, shoot to kill, 1 minute is done. Conference Call too OP.
Also theres a glitch to enter the tresaure room everytime you want and try to get that big loot, sometimes legendaries, sometimes legendary mods.
Finally, I’m giving away one legenday comando mod only for a legendary assassin mod. On PC, steam, not xbox, not ps3.
ohhhh yeah, that new Zer0 head looks cool…it makes him look like a Star Wars character…it’s close to being Vader-ish, or like one of Vader’s subordinates. The new Axton head looks great too… reminds me of Crocodile Dundee, or perhaps one of the dudes from “Young Guns” movies. Speaking of the styles and looks-- I’ve been sporting that cowboy hat for my Gunzerker ever since I got that…haha, Sal is the new Sheriff in town.
Sheeit, I haven’t even done sidequests in the first DLC yet, though I’m already wanting to go ahead and start with DLC#2 at some point this weekend.
If that were a Coach Gun, I’d swoon. A Quad will do, I guess. Speaking of which, I’ve read Shock Slow Hands are good shotguns for her. Return of the Elephant Gun is interesting and makes me question what returners are next and if they’ll take updated forms, considering we already have Hellfire, Sledge’s shotgun, etc.
EDIT: Just noticed how accurate the Twister is. Maybe it makes a spiral pattern like the old spiral rocket launchers?
No mention of a level cap increase, but that might come as more info is announced.
Quads don’t do 9-10k damage per pellet at Lv.50, do they? Hmm…
It should be noted that the Elephant Gun has no scope, like the Bison (and the BL1 EG). The Hawkeye, meanwhile, has a very powerful scope. I guess it’s all up to your playstyle.
Has anyone noticed that E-Tech Snipers do very low damage compared to other elemental Snipers? I was messing around in the target practice yesterday and noticed that some purple sniper that I’ve been using did about 163k on crit, while the E-Tech sniper (both shock and Maliwan) was only doing about 98k. Yet, the purple only has about 17k dmg on its tooltip, while the E-Tech has about 25k. For the ammo cost, E-Techs snipers are useless (since when has the rebound ever been effective, seeing as it doesn’t seem to lock onto another target like Close Enough does? Though I guess the Hyperion piercing shots could be useful). Is this a bug?
with incediary effect. Oh man, I am lvl 15 and it makes me think of the eraser button in microsoft paint. Enemies just dissapear.
Oh well, I am lvl 21 so it would suck now anyway.
