Wow, Athenas is fucking beautiful. Easily my favorite planet aesthetically. It reminds me of a Spyro level. They definitely need to add a fast travel point and a shop right before the bridge though. It would be dead center on the map and it would make everything a lot more convenient.
Also, I feel like they should add a weapon wheel to the game. I love the ability to ping so I won't be switching back to classic controls but I think we should be able to hold the weapon swap button down to bring up a weapon wheel for quick swapping.

Ah if that's why that's so lame, that would be part of the fun!
Basically just like Sombra's translocator in Overwatch except 2 way travel
Yes I thought the exact same thing lol about it being a spyro level. Agreed with the weapon wheel too.
Are the maps in 3 like in 2 where theyre split up into little sections or is it giant continuous worlds?
Split but they have like little overworlds too for each main planet and the zones are much bigger than any individual zone in the past games.
Ugh I was scared of them not balancing the mayhem modes properly
The Blood Path!For $700:
Ok I'm still not loving FL4K after respeccing from Stalker to Master tree. Level 14 and either I suck, have the wrong skills, am not getting good loot or I just don't like him.
Bummer because pet classes are my jam. I think I'll look the other 3 up and see who else is great for soling and try them out...

That's because hunter is where it's at. Fl4k is by far the strongest character in the game probably. Fade Away + Leave no Trace is the most broken thing.

This is the exact build I'm running, LOL. It's so fucking good, especially when you combine it with Torgue shotguns and sticky mode.
Man some of y'all are really struggling. Ammo is fucking EVERYWHERE, are you like, opening the million boxes that they put every ten feet? I'm always topped off. Killavolt? Yeah I think I was level 15 when I did that as Moze? Just, keep moving and jumping around? Yikes.
Lol!! I've never used Fade Away. The 2 guides/builds I have tried use the other 2 action skills. So If I use Fade Away , do you have tips on which pet and generally which skills/trees to focus on.
I don't WANT to start all over tbh so if I can find a setup I like it would be great
I haven't been farming (only level 20)but I've gotten no legendary drops..rng gonna rng I guess
And absolutely common-sense practice is to have a different weapon type in each slot so you are spreading your ammo usage among different types.
Also that. I'm constantly swapping between different weapons in a fight.
I've just had my first Bloodshot Ramparts moment in Borderlands 3. :)
I've just done the Eden-6 mission in The Anvil. Epic music, great level design, great art style and a fun boss at the end. Add to that the returning characters you meet as well and the awesome side mission there. Playing as Zane I'm level 25 so have a good build and am comfortable with it and have flow in the way I'm playing and definitely have that badass feeling. I also found 4, yes 4 legendaries in that area alone in just over an hour.
I've had one of those amazing moments where everything Borderlands is about comes together to gaming perfection. Utterly fantastic. :)

Ammo was never a problem. All in all its a cheap fight mechanically. And yes I know about always being agile and strafing. It just wasn't enough for me and clearly many others feel the same way as I've noticed in this thread. I think those of you that completed the fight at the appropriate level just got lucky or just have immaculate twitchy fingers. Madly frustrating and I had to exact my sweet revenge.
And if you're Moze and spec into various skills that replenish your ammo, you can fit assault rifles and sub machine guns into all your weapon slots and never go below 500 SMG ammo.
Man, Eden-6 is really overstaying its welcome for me. Really not a fan of the swampland setting and color palette.
At least Ice-T is pretty great.
You can actually kill him before he heals but I had the same experience with Amara, never in danger of dying but it took forever. I posted a quick video yesterday of me fighting him as Moze where I had gotten lucky earlier with a really good grenade and I killed him after he healed once (first one he's immune to damage before it happens). I don't know if there's actually anything you can do to speed it up aside from doing absurd damage.
I thought that one was pretty easy. Just kite him and stay running around. There's enough cover that you can dip in and out to take shots at him.
I think as the game stands, the most powerful thing discovered so far is probably grenade synergies, so I'd guess Moze probably has the highest potential until item changes start coming in with DLC. FL4K seems up there still and will likely be more resistant to item rebalancing impacting his output.
I didn't say he was hard, and I even said I beat him on my first try. Thing is, trying to duck behind walls for cover didn't really lead to much with all of
his super jumps and those eyes he sends out. All I did was blast him with my huge aoe fire damage grenades to hit him and groups, used up all of my corrosion rockets then just proceeded to hit him with sticky corrosion pistol shots to the head until my corrosion "trail" ability would let me drop a carpet behind me that enemies would walk through and have damage over time procs until they died.
A lot of people seem to be blowing through the game easily with Moze, and she has a "god mode" ability. FL4K end game seems super strong as well, but despite him being labled as a "pet" class, the pet is mainly there to buff him and not much else.
Killavolt was a pain with Zane at around equal level - the electric floor instantly destroys your deployable shield, and his electric shield is resistant to electricity (at least my weaps)... sigh.
It was easier once you realize his main spark weapon can't hurt you directly, just electrifies the floor.
The radiation lobber you get from the porta potty side quest was a savior for me in that fight.
I enjoyed figuring out the fight mechanics and phases, but that 2 second window to interrupt the all floor ae attack can piss right off. That was the only part that felt unfair.

And then when you find that sweet
Transformer shield that makes you immune to electricity
This finally arrived today and I got to play it with my co-op buddy. I love Amara's Phasegrasp ability and her turning damage into affinity elemental damage. It's so good and right up my Borderlands playstyle. My co-op partner is playing as FL4K and we can do some devastating combos between the two of us already and we're only level 7.
Zane is fucking INSANE. His builds are going to be crazy. I love blasting someone with a shotgun, sliding, melee'ing and then shotgun blasting again. This game is fun to play...wonder how it's going to stack up to Doom Eternal in the gunplay.
I'm also of the camp in which I seem to be running out of ammo quite quickly. I have different weapon types in each slot too. Idk. I have noticed that there are a bunch more boxes with ammo now though so that's nice.

Heh, I can sit back and watch my skag kill everyone. He's practically immortal and can 1-shot most enemies. He can be pretty useless in some boss fights though.
RNG Geezus blessed me heavily, in the last 2 hours I dropped 5 legendary items, a skin, revolver, SMG, shotgun and an amazing shield. All on my current level and vastly superior to anything I had. Great feeling after not getting even 1 legendary since the beginning of the game.
So it seems like with the right set up Amara can become pretty much completely immune to gun damage as long as you keep spamming your action. Like I get she's supposed to be the kinda slow burn tanky character but that seems a bit off right?
Also lining up a bunch of enemies and tossing the second astral project is a good feeling, watching that number boost and boost as it tears through them.

Some of the references are just like, wat? The game literally has an Amber Lamps reference, that's like a decade-old meme that I'm pretty sure most people have long-since forgotten about.
Do we really need to spoiler tag boss discussion?
My lvl 13 legendary Torgue laser AR is still holding up 20 levels later.
The Graveward boss is broken as Moze because when it tips the platform you get kicked out of Iron Bear but it's cooldown because nearly instant. I basically fought it with infinite Iron Bear.
Also while I've oniy fought Agonizer 9000 once on normal, I was really impressed by the encounter design. The mechanics (especially the rotating chainsaw and saw blades) are punishing if you fuck up but easily avoidable if you're paying attention. Beating him isn't luck based and you can keep your distance while still needing to remain mobile. I think it's one of the top bosses I've seen so far.

Shield build with all Kill Skills from SNTL, equipped with a Torgue Shotgun with Sticky alt-fire... so good. Pick up the shield, run and gun and never die.
You dont need to.
Wait till he does the charge slam attack, dodge to the side and load corrosive/burning weapons to his back, rinse and repeat.
I'm doing Kill Skills with Decoy but Shield May be the better skill to have.
Anyone got an extra yok4i head for fl4k? I've been hitting these slot machines for literal hours. Hours. I'm going mad.
