Can't really give you any useful numbers, but: 3 1/2 Claptraps for the initial loading to the title screen (PS4 Pro / SSD). It's 5 Claptraps on a regular PS4 with default HDD (don't know if the Pro or SSD makes the difference).

Borderlands 3 |OT| The Three-Sequel!!
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Been seeing them drop left and right from
Katagawa Jr.
Those guns are good in general, even without skills factored in.
Got The Duc and Hellwalker last night on FL4K. Feeling truly alive. Now if only I'd stop getting Siren's Mark trinkets that make me think I'm getting real legendaries...
Got Hellwalker to drop at 35 and had a blast with it. Looking forward to getting a lvl 50 one to drop at some point.
So if I just want to play someone with a run-and-gun attitude and not use a whole lot of gimmicky stuff (like pets or mechs), would Zane be the best choice?
Zane and Amara are the only ones with movement speed buffs but Moze can sprint while shooting. Also Zane is constantly using action skills. Amara has 1 action skill (well 11 but only one at a time).
Honestly Amara would prolly be your best bet.
Can anybody recommend some good farming spots for legendary weapons or shields? I'm deployed and a friend and I have been trying to clear Slaughterhouse 3000 for like 3 days. We either get to the 3rd round and get overwhelmed by the enemies with shock or we come across a bug that shows no enemies left on the map but we cannot advance to the next wave/round? We're just trying to get the last few trophies. I looked online for a few builds but after farming for a while, we've come across no legendary drops. I get better gear from common enemies than I do with bosses.
I'll look into her, thanks! Just got it installed, will be starting it tonight.
1. What platform?
2. What characters you playing?
3. What level are you?
I've got a ton of Legendaries I'm giving away, so I may have some stuff you need. PS - I'm on PS4.
Got one (though not the one I wanted) first try with Katagawa. Thanks! Time to farm for a bit.
1. I'm on PS4.
2. I'm Amara and my friend is Moze.
3. We're both level 50.
Are you on mayhem modes for farming? And dw about slaughterstar 3000, it's by far the hardest thing in the game and I basically gave up on it.
I haven't tried Mayhem levels yet aside from Mayhem 3 and it was nuts. Does that make that big of a difference? What mayhem level should I use?
Honestly your best bet might actually be Moze since her mech is absolutely useless :P
I never, ever use it. Her strength lies in how she uses splash damage.
I can't seem to handle mayhem 3 as elemental amara. I'm using phasezerker COM, specced for hellcat, using ties that bind&allure. My guns are Rowan's call, Lucian's call, Brainstormer and The Butcher.
Also I've heard that the shared damage of Ties that bind triggers Samsara. Can ayone confirm this and if so is it worth running?

Makes a huge difference for loot. Start with Mayhem 1 then work your way up, make sure to check the map after every new zone or reset so you know what the modifiers are.
Anyone on PC have a Legendary Elemental Projector Static Charge artifact or any of its kind that boost damage?
P&T were not droping anything for me except blue & green items, so I farmed Katawaga for about 3 hours last night and managed to get a few guns I did not have yet, as well as 5 legendary class mods for Moze (Bloodletter finally!), 3 for Amara, and 1 each for FL4K and Zane. The whole thing is random...Katawaga started off dropping only guns, but then I was getting a mod every 2-3 runs, and then they just stopped again. I would suggest farming him for awhile (Atlas HQ).
Is she viable to play while completely ignoring her mech?
Most definitely. I alternate between her and Amara, but she has become my favorite.
i find zane to be a good run and gunner just throw out your clone and STNL and focus on different enemies and clears them pretty fast. and if you spec yourself right you can ignore his skills and you just will have grenades popping off left and right
I apologize if this question has been asked recently, but have the performance problems (framerate chugs, inventory freezes, etc.) been improved for the PS4 Pro yet, specifically in local splitscreen mode? I'm really wanting to pick this game up but I primarily play this series with my girlfriend and I want to make sure it'll be a smoothish experience.
3 and a half claptrap for me too on base ps4 with an SSHD.
I'd highly recommend incorporating elemental Crossroads into the Hellcat build, especially with an Elemental Projector artifact. I haven't been running Samsara with it, but I'd be surprised if it worked.
I've found that the key is to utilize the extra movement speed from Mindfulness (you're essentially always at 25 stacks if you inflict yourself with a status ailment) to stay mobile and pick off priority targets with Phasegrasp; Ties that Bind and Indiscriminate should clear out everything in the general area of your target.
Be sure to have Helping Hands and some points into Root to Rise and One with Nature as well. If you use a Transformer and set your action-skill element to Incendiary or Corrosive, you'll be immune to shock and have high resistance to another element due to One with Nature. Arms Deal is also useful for Slaughter Shaft to help deal with the rocket launchers from the Badasses there.
Once you start getting toward end-game (and beyond), the mech is worthless. So don't worry about ignoring it. When I play Mayhem or TVHM, I only use it if I get in dire straits and need some time for my shields to recharge.
Unless a patch has dropped in the last 24 hours then no, those are still a thing. Personally I think it's fine on single player but in local co op going to your inventory or a shop tanks the framerate and causes chugging. It's playable but annoying, makes going to inventory during battle a real hassle. Keep waiting.
Edit: And subtitles are either broken or weird in local co op too, if that's something that matters.

They need to do one of two things to Iron Bear. Either...
A) Make him WAY tankier than he is now in the end game.
Or
B) Make his weapons deal more DPS than Moze could manage on her own.
If his weapons are not going to be an alluring alternative to Moze's own arsenal then he needs to provide way more protection as a defensive tool. If he's going to remain as squishy as he is now then his weapons need to provide the potential for massive burst damage in order to make him desirable and useful as an offensive tool.

Thanks for the heads up, guess I'll keep waiting, then. I hope it's patched sooner rather than later, I'd really like to play this.
Is it reasonable to expect more overall performance improvements to the PC version anytime soon?
I'm super glad the Zoom/ADS bullshit was fixed in the first performance patch, but overall, there's still stutter and framedips everywhere, all the time, except when literally nothing is happening on screen. Its the same whether I'm on High or Very Low settings, presets or manual changes. Le sigh. Any advice? Maybe I'll try DX12 again. Haven't tried it since swapping my new 2060 6gb to a 2070 Super 8gb instead.
Also, Woah, as a relative newb to Borderlands, I didn't realize you could FARM bosses. I'm a seasoned WoW player and familiar with that gameplay loop. Same thing here? Can you replay bosses anytime and get scaled up rewards for your level? Do they each have specific loot tables? Is there a good site that lists everything? (kind of like WoWhead for WoW) How does that all work? The game doesn't really explain it you. That said, I'm still early I think. Level 18 and only about 5 or 6 bosses into the campaign.

Mayhem mode should scale everything to your level, as far as I'm aware.
As far as farming, I believe you just go kill the boss and get loot, quit game, log back in and do it again. A lot of the bosses have save points just before them, making it pretty easy.
Killed Agonizer thirty times, and got three class mods for Moze. None were Bloodletter, and I'm wondering what the odds are of me even getting a better one than what I have now (it was my second mod for her too). Mine has 18% critical damage, but also three to Desperate Measures, which adds 50% gun damage.
Oh so it's not actually a supported activity in the game necessarily? You actually have to log out to trigger a respawn? Seems strange
That one wave where you face multiple Nogs and Heavies with drone shielding is flat out impossible.
Yes. Also her mech is very useful while leveling, just sucks at endgame.
Doesn't pain and terror not drop anything legendary? I read something like that somewhere.
I totally forgot about this when I first started running mayhem and thought I was going crazy when my guns would suddenly become a lot less effective.
Just posted how they dropped three class mods for me. Katagawa seems like he has a much higher drop rate for legendaries in general, but his kill times are so fucking random. Agonizer on the other hand, I can kill usually in ten seconds or less.
I wasn't getting anything from him either so I moved back to Graveward.
What's your build? I completed Slaughterstar 3000 on Mayhem 3 last night with a Drone/Clone Build with Zane and had zero issues. Breezes through the whole thing in one go without dying. I spammed those annoying NOGs with MIRV Hex radiation grenades as soon as I saw them, then blasted them with the Hellwalker.
This game gets more broken by the minute. I need to follow Typhon, but he just stands there doing nothing. Restarting doesn't work, swapping characters back and forth doesn't work. So now I go online and people say you can't do anything but join a random group online and circumvent this issue that way. I try to join the campaign via matchmaking, and it brings me to proving grounds. I didn't chose proving grounds for fucks sake. Not only that but my character gets so fast sometimes it's hard to navigate for appearently no reason.
I'm so close to finishing off the campaign and start to farm on Mayhem 3, but I guess gamebreaking bugs will prevent me from doing so until the damn event is over. For fucks sake this game makes it hard to like it.
