We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
It drops a lot of stuff, but the new class mods seem to drop like crazy all the time. Do another run and they'll drop guns too.
Those and the make it rain emotes
They both dropped so so so so many times
It's pretty lenghty(4 huge zones, a smaller one, and the final boss zone which is pretty short) no annoying characters like Vaughn, a few challenges to unlock guns and cosmetics, the music is awesome(made by the same guy as Deus Ex I heard?), the zones(other than the brownish Compactor) looks pretty nice, plenty of new loot also.
The only things I feel is missing is that there isn't as many sidequests or zones as BL2 DLCs. But the main missions are long enough and the 4 huge zones are bigger than the zones in BL2, so that kinda balance itself I guess.
If the other 3 DLCs are like this, it's well worth the money. But since we have no idea if that will actually be the case, I guess you could still wait?
Whoever brought up the unforgiven crit swap....thanks. Had one sitting in my vault with +380% crit damage.
On m4, graveward is my bitch. I pray they dont patch/nerf this.....

Finished the DLC and really enjoyed it. Great areas, pretty good characters (thankfully they didn't screw up Timothy writing/character wise), fun bosses and new legendary items, as well as really good music (some of the music greatly reminded me of the first Mass Effect), and overall I'd put it up there with some of the BL2 DLC's and Claptrap's DLC from the TPS.
Makes me hopeful for the other three.

For those of you farming, if you dont want to lose your place when your backpack is full, dont forget you can quit to menu and switch from TVHM to Normal and go to Sanctuary. When you switch back to TVHM you'll be in your spot.
Wasnt sure if this posted here or Reddit.

Grinding for FL4K's new class mod and man, my game is stingy w/ the good modifiers. So many shit rolls for 2 out of 3 perks.
The class mod sounds really cool but melee damage, grenade damage, the hollow point perk and elemental DOTs all reset it ;_;
I just went on a binge and spent all 150 dollars of PSN credit I had received as gifts. (Actually 200 but I couldn't add the last card lol)
One of my purchases was the DLC for 15. Can't wait to get started on it but I also just increased my backlog by like 200 hours.

Just started the game a couple of days ago.
I started with Flak, but his pets have such annoying sounds that I decided to switch to the Gunner.
It seems very Borderlands 1-esque so far in terms of general feel.
I really love that the game has a "fog of war" feature on the area map which tells me areas I did not go to yet. Very helpful for navigating large maps on small play sessions.

Wow thank you. I just got what I thought was a good roll with grenade damage, but I gut I'll swap back to the other mod roll I have.
Zane's new DLC com is a lot of fun and seems to offer a ton of build variety.
I'm expecting them to nerf it instead of buffing his other coms though while leaving Spiritual Driver untouched lol

So I got an Xbox one X and grabbed a cheap copy of BL3 to see if it performs much different and wow!
I'm actually enjoying it now! It's playable in resolution mode for a start and performance mode works great too! Just a shame I bought the super delux on the PS4 on launch but at least I can play now without the really bad PS4 pro performance.

It's funny how fast a community can create crazy builds. This was posted like right after the new class mod came out lol
Did Maliwan takedown with two friends on M2. It was a rough adventure and we got to Wotan we were pretty much rinsed.
Last night we decided to take try again, and I turned mayhem off. Got to Wotan and we improved some but we still got stuck on his third phase.
Like, how equipment dependent is beating Wotan? Or is it super build dependent? As someone who can survive M2 and does some farming on M3 I was little surprised no mayhem Wotan was fucking hard.

Wotan doesn't scale with player numbers and on top of that is much harder than other content in the game.
Have fun lol.
He's both build and gear dependent. Some people can solo him on M4 though depending on the build/gear.
Alright, well screw Wotan then.
Since I do a lot of complaining about corrosive drops, just had some miracle session in the slaughter shaft. On M2 my friend and I were practically full of legendaries upon leaving. Obviously, most of it was 'common' legendaries of no real value, but notably, I got two shreddifiers, one vanilla, one shock. This'll keep me content for a few days! The other weird thing was almost none of it was shields, grenades and class mods, or artifacts. Mostly weaponry!
It also makes me want to run this conspiracy theory by you guys: Ever get the feeling the RNG gets set when you load into the level (much like Mayhem modifiers). I mean, we were getting legendary drops from round 1 in the shaft and must have gotten 20+ each by the end. This makes no sense on M2.

with how frequent they are, 1(2) step(s) forward 1(2) step(s) back, I don't blame them.
I don't think ingame performance has ever gotten any worse.
Also, I think me having an SSD effects my menu performance which is why I don't complain about it this patch lol
I'm using the new Siren class mod with a build like this one(the guide hasn't been updated in a while, but still works well for M4) : https://www.icy-veins.com/borderlands-3/amara-siren-elemental-fist-over-matter-build-guide
The more Helping Hand there is on the mod, the better it is, especially since you can use Phasegrasp every few seconds or so(less than 10 seconds for me once the cooldown starts). So you almost always have 28-35-40% damage reduction, and with how often you deal elemental damage, you'll rarely die with all the healing coming from Sustainment.
With good elemental guns and anointments, this build can be pretty powerful on M4. Almost everything dies pretty quickly, considering its M4. If there is one gun I would suggest above anything else, it's the Projectile Recursion. With the above build, this shotgun is insane, especially when you the shoot the Phasegraped enemy while a bunch of others are around. The ricochets will melt even badass and most anointed enemies in seconds with this gun. It kinda sucks for killing a single enemy though, a good elemental SMG would be better.
Anyone here playing on Xbox One and willing/able to help me get an achievement? I just need to beat someone quickly in a duel. Should literally take 10 second. If able/willing, send me a DM. I also need some competent end-game co-op partners to do all the Circles of Slaughter. Maybe the game isn't so popular anymore, but all of the matches I've been getting are players in the level 10-20 range (I'm level 50). They all just charge in and end up dying super fast. Repeatedly.
Also, damn, the bugs in this game are still driving me crazy. Had both Cistern of Slaughter and Slaughterstar 3000 glitch out during the last wave/round right before completion.
Also, really dug The Handsome Jackpot. Managed to polish off everything and get all the achievements. Overall, great length, I thought. I was disappointed, though, with the Legendary drop rates and variety. I probably got around 20 total drops my entire playthrough with 80% of them being class mods and 75% of those being for a class I wasn't. Also, Heart of Gold is my new favorite quest.

Finished the DLC on Mayham 1 but didn't get any new strong weapons. I used the same weapon all the way through. The
Cost-Effective Optimized Q-System assault rifle is a monster which I am surprised wasn't nerfed yet.
I liked the DLC and I loved all the Jack holograms. I miss the character. The DLC also fixed my cash problem. Maxed out all my SDUs except the bank.

I got a Dastardly Maggie from a chest after the final boss, that and the ION Cannon were the big highlights for me. The class mods are fantastic too
And yes, that Assault Rifle kicks ass, mine does something like 1050x2 damage, good accuracy but low fire rate. Still, a great gun
Avoid the rank 50 (and up) survivor perks if you want to do a melee build with a roid shield ever.
Other than that I spend them somewhat equally outside of vehicle damage which I never touch. Iirc they all have a 15% cap anyway so don't worry about it too much.
Hey if you still need achievement help I play on XB1 (FL4K)
Amara players, what builds you used when first tackling Mayhem 4?
I've been playing TVHM on M3 with the sheriff build, which works nicely here, but likely not so much when the enemies get 10x the hp.
(I also used the shrieking devil + red suit build for a bit, but changed back to sniping)
edit: well, guess mostly anything can work with proper anointments.

Jumped back in a few days ago, threw myself into Mayhem 4 for funsies in the new dlc. Definitely struggled, a lot, and figured i might have to resort to matchmaking to help me through it. Lastnight though i landed the new mod for Zane, holy shit, game changing. Felt like I knocked the difficulty down a bit, things were much more do-able solo. Main thing i ran into was running out of ammo.
So fun though, loving the dlc so far and the new items I'm finding. Feels great to be back!

If you dont already own a Cutsman, either electric of corrosive, get one (or both preferably). It makes Mayhem 4 a breeze with his new class mod.
That's funny, i know i own at least 2 but haven't used them much since getting the mod. Now i need to see what i have and try them out. I've been using this laser-ish legendary i found recently that's been doing work on enemies, and it's been pretty perfect since it can be either corrosive or fire, so covers all enemies in the dlc so far.
Thanks for the tip though. So excited to go home and continue playing.
Yeah, the Cutsman is a pretty strong SMG no matter the class. It sucks for long range and you'll have to predict the bullets path since the bullets slowly move toward their target(and hopefully, the target don't move too much), but in close/medium range, they're one of the best against badass and tougher than normal enemies.
The Shocking AAA pistol is also a good one to destroy shields quickly, and even the weaker enemies that have low hp.

Upgrade your backpack slots capacity as often as you can. Having it full all the time sucks. You'll be able to do that once you get on the ship(around lvl 8-10). Upgrades require money(and each new upgrades cost 3 times as much as the last one), so loot as much as you can and sell everything for $$$ and open as many boxes as you can, which you probably already did if you played previous Borderlands games.
If you can, focus on the main story and do the sidequests after you've beat it. Unless you're so underlevel you need the extra XP.
As soon as you beat the main story, all enemies & sidequests will be the same lvl as you are rather than the fixed level they were before. You also unlock higher difficulties with more XP, more money and more chances at better loot.
Also, explore every corners of each map for those claptrap, car, radio or log icons. They all give XP and loot as rewards when you find most(or all) of them. Although, I might suggest to wait until you're 50 before killing the last target from Zero's Targets of Opportunity, which you can see a list below :
Reason being that when you kill the last one, you'll get a legendary sniper called Lyuda which is pretty powerful. It's like a machine gun and a sniper combined into one. And you'll want a lvl 50 one rather than a lvl 42 or whatever lvl you could be when killing the last target.
