I wonder if the Handsome Jackhammer plays into Tales somehow since there seems to be another Jack AI in the gun itself

Matchmaking in circle of slaughter is a lag filled mess, but I did get like 3 levels and a ton of legendaries.

Is it supposed to be absurdly difficult? Everything that spawns seems like it's a badass, has multiple health bars, and one-shots me from range.

Man, these bugs...

Lost all my fast travel and planet locations because I played coop with a fresh new character for two of my characters (one has cleared the game already so I really lost everything, lol).

The solution is to simply visit every planet via drop pot and revisit every fast travel location.

Luckily it didn't wreck my tvhm progress...

The Mayhem modifiers need a total overhaul. -50% gun damage and 30% chance that enemies deflect projectiles is just dumb. They need to be more creative and offer more of a challenge than just straight up "hey every few shots you're probably going to get hit by your own bullets!!!"

Does Traunt drop the Hellwalker or not? I've been farming him for a awhile and got a totally different legendary shotgun instead.

Man, I am loving The Duc right now. It kills most heavies in seconds and with Moze's Some For The Road skill I can wipe out entire mobs in a blink of an eye.

I'm not sure if this is a sign that my computer is "dying" or something, but sometimes the screen freeze for a second or two and there's a big "buzz" sound coming out of my speakers. Not the kind of thing I noticed before playing this game, but it's worrying.

The birthday party mission is pretty heartbreaking
Mortis voice sells it when you attempt to do the objectively bad objective.


So what's the end-game build for Zane that won't make me hate myself?

I've been maining the shield tree with a few points in the blue tree I think. I don't use the sentinel or the clone... but I could get used to them if need be.

I've also started a playthrough with Moze and havne't found a useful way to use her action skill yet. The railgun one kinda sucks, but that's the tree I wanted to start with.
I am nearing endgame and i am finding a mod with +3 Duct Tape skill plus a good MIRV grenade preferably the ice one is pretty damn OP because then you have about 1/3 of a chance each bullet to shoot a grenade and the cryo ones have a proximity timer so you do not get caught up works best with high rate of fire weapons.

He got some buffs so I'm probably going to respec, but this is what I finished the game with. Or something close to that at least.
I found some money making tracking bombs so I boosted the hell out of his bomb perks. I was making 2 mil a run in the final dungeons.

It was a lot of fun killing a little creep and just going ham on everyone else when your kill skills triggered. And his final blue perk was great for bosses, since using any ability triggers all your passives too.

I came to post this bug. Did a split screen session with my daughter, my level 38 Moze with her level 8 or so Moze, we took down Mouthpiece, I got her to Sanctuary and started on Promethia. I went back later to play and farm but could only travel to the spots she was at. Pissed me off, I don't get much gaming time and was going to level up my Moze in Mayhem. I've got a buddy about my level and he's going to take me around to all the fast travel stations sometime this week. Luckily I didn't lose anything else. First large scale bug I ran into knock on wood

I don't think you need to run to every fast travel station if you play with a friend. If he already has every station unlocked they'll be unlocked for you too.

I tested this out with my two broken characters. I had the fast travel location unlocked at least for the region I was in. So maybe one play session should be enough to sync it.

My problem is that I have no way to enter Pandora. There is no drop pod for the planet and both my characters had only the first map unlocked. Now I need a third character to unlock the fast travel station - play split screen to reset everything on my other character to at least get back to Pandora, lol...

Wow.

4 players. Cistern of Slaughter. Last round, last wave, last enemy.
Enemy glitches through a wall, thus rendering the entire thing null and void.

Ugh, my level 36 Moze has died six times now trying to beat Troy, no other boss has given me this kinda trouble. This is not fun, taking a break from the game for now.

Given the sheer amount of flying enemies they throw in and how buggy the game is, it seems like a guarantee at least one will glitch out of the map during a match. It's scared me off playing the Cistern entirely.

If anyone is on the hunt for world drop legendaries I highly recommend farming Traunt. Just pop it on Normal mode with Mayhem 1 (or 2 if you think you're geared for it) and you'll be getting legendaries almost every other run.

Anyone on PS4 need to do the online trophies to duel, trade an item with a friend and revive another player? Maybe if there's time even head to the firing range to get that perfect score? :)

My favorite gun with FL4K is the Star Helix. It chews through everything like a mini Lyuda. I also love that it's a reference to my favorite show.

Finished the game with Moze,and while gameplay is superior to the other borderlands games...the story and the antagonists were so bad
And lets not talk about the humor :/
Id play it again for the gameplay but I think ill wait for some bug fixes,dunno about the other versions but the ps4 one is full of weird ones

Yeah , the anointed enemies are stupidest fucking enemies in any Borderlands. They jump around so you can't get a second wind off of them and they are fucking immune to nearly everything. You are fucked if you get -50% less normal bullet damage on mayhem mode

The aggro tink ones that charge at you and shrink/grow are so fucking annoying.

Chupa is also a viable Legendary farming method, yeah? Quick and easy on Mayhem 3.

I thought the actual story about kids who grew up with stories from the first vault hunter believing that they were entitled/heirs to the vaults was kinda interesting. It's just that the annoying streamer personality stuff was - well, annoying as fuck.

Honestly, what did they mean by the story being more like BL1 than BL2. Because, it's pretty far from that goal.

Is the drop rate supposed to be so underwhelming?

99% of the drops so far are white and green. Granted, I'm only four or so hours in, but still, come on Gearbox

Man, my last three legendaries have all been shields. Feels bad. One of them was great but now that I keep getting more I'm just like "please, anything else".

Yup, just like past games and other GAAS like Destiny. Keep playing and the good loot will come. At least this time the lower quality loot isn't so bad to play around with.

Is no one putting guardian points into luck? I have around 20% luck and oranges fall like rain.

Just under 10% now. Gonna try my hand at some farming now and will see how it goes.

Yeah I will say some of the green-tier guns still hold their own, it's still a bummer to go through long play sessions without getting anything exciting

Welp, I've completed all side missions and done everything except a few trophies for the platinum. Any reason to not start TVHM on my PS4 right now other than the whole thing about not being able to play at Mayhem 3? Gonna still try to farm an infinity pistol from Troy because that other one's getting annoying, being on fire all the time and all. Figure there's not much point in farming too much when not in TVHM though since the new loot will replace this crap quickly enough.

The multiplayer is such garbage when you're not host. I don't know why this is still a thing in a coop game.

Yeah, I could see the issues with it in higher difficulties without buffs. The most recent patch didn't even touch her.
Thankfully it's at least doing its job in normal mode which i'm still on.
yeah for now my friend is doing the no hp all shields and regen build (got him the relic that reduces his HP to 1) and just running 3 different flakkers lol

Saw it posted on reddit but the slaughter shaft drops crazy amounts of legendaries, can be difficult but if you can do it you should see a lot. After 5 waves there was around 20-25 on the ground.
