TheGreatGildersneeze: Feb 24, 2001; My passive aggressive shilling for Microsoft has gone beyond weird obsession levels. I have no attachment to reality outside of my feelings for a plastic box. I should shut my fat fucking mouth and stop trying to do PR for a billion dollar corp

Like Marogareh said, it can be extremely fiddly. Sometimes I'll get it on my first jump, others it will take a few minutes. The rest is fairly straight forward though, just be careful not to clip into the wrong rock as you can get stuck.

At 1:30 in your video, pause it. See that bright rock to the right of your gun? That's a much better reference point, aim slightly up/right from it.

To ensure that you'll get stuck in the air, face about 180 from that, aim about 45 degrees up, make sure you're in the corner of the two invisible walls, hold forward, and try to jump. If you can't jump, that's the hotness. Turn around, face the point I mentioned above, hold back and jump. So far I've nailed it every time, with a slight chance of elevatoring up half the way. If you do get the elevator (basically running straight up), make sure to stop before you hit the top or you'll go over the wall and fall to your death, requiring a save/quit to reload the area.

I'm still running a 6783x16 blue Torgue shotgun and it wrecks bosses with The Bee. A couple times I've failed to hit the B0r3 spot on Bnk3r and still nearly one shot him.

I think that's more the Bee doing the wrecking. 6800x16 is going to kick rear end when you add 50,000+ damage to each pellet regardless of manufacturer.

It's absolutely a delivery mechanism for stupid amounts of Bee damage. x16 each time I pull the trigger is pretty hilarious though. I've had individual hits crit as high as 910k with Mark and deception bonuses.

Yeah, that's why I sold The Bee. Making the game laughably trivial just doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

One of the things I really dislike about this game is the fact that I have to go into the network options menu every time I play because the game doesn't save the setting. What the gently caress?

There is an instakill spot on him? I guess that makes sense. I hit him on the underside once with a 680 damage e-tech AR and it sapped his whole bar instantly. This was approximately level 30.

You guys weren't kidding about TVHM. That poo poo doesn't gently caress around.

Yeah, if you hit him just above the rim around the edge slightly towards the top apparently B0re penetrates then gets stuck inside the model, rattles around in there and you hear a buzzing sound as he dies instantly while you get an absurd amount of crits. I didn't really get the hang of doing it intentionally, but it happens a lot accidentally with a shotgun that fires lots of projectiles or a SMG.

There are so many bandits in sawtooth caldron. So many. I pretty much emptied all my weapons while I was there and they still kept coming, I had to make a dash for the exit while being fired on. I don't think that's ever happened before.

It's an interesting map. The indoor cavern area is a colossal clusterfuck. If your party has a good sniper, you can actually hit all the "raise the flag" areas from the top area with the Fast Travel station.

There's also an exclamation point and a vending machine that on the map appear to be in that cavern, but I have no idea where they are. Quest markers show whether they are above or below you on the map but nothing else does.

The (Ammo) vending machine is there in the cavern, by the elevator up to that enormous platform buzzard base. It does kinda blend in, and is easy to miss in the chaos there. The quest marker is up top. Main quest takes you there, but you have to go on the periphery of the platform to pick it up.

Its funny how you can hit the jackpot with these golden keys or you can get something totally useless for your character that you will instantly sell. I just used the two new keys and on the first I got two class mods for two characters I'm not playing at all right now. The second key was a pretty awesome Vladof explosive assault rifle AND a sweet E-tech sniper rifle where the bullets ricochet all over the place. I kind of like that I have no idea what its going to be.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Marogareh who popped into my game a couple of days ago just to gift me with a level 50 legendary siren mod, a level 50 Bee, and a level 50 Maggie. Just out of the goodness of his heart.

Now I just gotta level my Maya up to 50 so I can actually use them!

So thanks man!!!!!

Just punched those in for me and SWMBO. She's doing playthrough 2 and is having issues with Threshers. A nice purple weapon of some sort should help, and the 4 keys she has now might give her a bit of a chance. plus the last codes too. She was getting her rear end kicked last night, lost half a mil in cash from deaths alone.

Wow, the glitch with the Evil Smasher is a doozy. My Jakobs sniper with 3500 base damage plus Zero's crit boost skills plus the Evil Smasher effect means I can crit up to 200K per shot at level 33. The only monster in playthrough 1 other than the final boss that it won't kill instantly is the last badass constructor that spawns right at the end of Hero's Pass, and that was because it only did 164K and left him with a sliver of health.

I realize this is a bug and will not be surprised when it gets patched out, but god drat.

Am I the only one who uses that "Defend slab tower" mission to farm purples and XP? You set the goliath flag down where the robots drop and let them get their helmet knocked off then let them run around killing the loaders and friendly psychos until they go god-alith then just let them run around killing loaders and everything so that the whole "You get 3x the xp for every enemy the goliath kills" thing. Then just leave the area when its about to end.
Did that around 2 dozen times last night on TVHM and got like 5000xp every time and an almost guaranteed lvl 46 purple every time. If I recall right from playthrough 1 you can get like lvl 26-7 purples there.

I dunno, thought that might be useful for anyone reaching that point.

Also, anyone got any decent tips for soloing terramorphous? I've got the bee and I managed to kick his rear end the first time I fought him but I haven't been able to touch him since.

I just tried soloing Terramorphous with the Bee, Maggie and a Sheriff's Badge and got massacred after knocking him down to about half health. I need to thank Magoreh (sorry about the misspelling) for showing up and helping me kill the crap out of him. I wanted to give him the lvl 50 Legendary Assassin Mod he dropped but had to leave.
