Give it a try, you might never use another weapon in that slot again. Well, you'll likely give other weapons a try to mix things up from time to time or for a specific build but you'll probably want to return to the Beam Rifle.
What weapon are you using, I've heard you have to be using one that hits hard enough. Here's a video of it anyways...
MythicReclaimer is my Steam name.
The enemies scale to you (+1) when you first enter an area, and are static after that, so you do overpower enemies as you upgrade past the point you entered the area at.
Basically what the devs said earlier in the thread is that they found during testing that people tend to enter a new zone and then leave to go upgrade their stuff (which makes sense, right? Why would you beat a boss and then just leave without going to the next checkpoint?), so they added the +1 to the scaling to prevent the area from immediately getting trivialized by it scaling to your gear and then you leaving to upgrade everything. I'd say you do feel a bit weak when you enter new zones, which is what you want imo. It's the Dark Souls thing of each area seeming really dangerous until you start to feel it out and it becomes easy to deal with.
I got past him. I'd be on the sides behind cover and he would stop before coming around a corner and do that wide stretchy arm swipe and swing through the wall and hit me. I figured out the spitfire's flamethrower would damage him through his bug cloud or what ever it is.
So far I've gotten a single shot pistol and the sniper rifle from NPCs and the wooden mask from a insane merchant. I found a welding helmet on the ground as well as 3 rings. Only melee weapon I've gotten was a fail at the end of a health draining hallway dungeon in Rhom.
Well since I have you ear I would like the ability to change my characters look/voice..
It's Dark Souls-esque but a bit more random. You can choose to open your game to the public or only friends (or play offline). When you have it open, someone can basically just enter your game at any time if they're searching for a game. They'll spawn at the next checkpoint you touch. From the menu you can also choose to enter other worlds, where you'll just end up in a random game that has their world open. I'm not entirely sure how specific the match-making is in terms of game progress and level. The one time I joined someone else, it was further in the same area that I was currently in.
