Is Blood Soaked Shield actually supposed to be a 5-point skill? I tried out anarchy tonight for the first time and being able to recharge your shields 100% instantly after each kill seems really broken. It's also only a 1-point skill on the website.

I just take the skill that allows me to keep Gunzerking when I'm in FFYL. Really puts the truth into Salvador's "THIS DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING; YOU'RE STILL GONNA DIE!" bit. I've found that keeping a rocket launcher in one of my slots helps, especially since I have a Waka 12 Pounder that does 350K base damage (although that one has a bouncing grenade shot instead of a rocket, so you gotta hit dead on) and another Torgue that does about 275K base. Hyperion "Critcal Thinking" slag shotgun in the other slot for that pair and well, not much lives through over half a mil's worth of damage.

I think my record is six Second Winds before the bar was just "FOR gently caress'S SAKE JUST DIE" and disappeared pretty much the moment it popped up.

If you get a second wind off that your second wind timer resets. I only know because I go down a lot using he Chullaine and get back up almost immediately thanks to it + a shock enhanced death trap.

Yeah its a 5 point skill, the website is bugged.

The thing that makes it not broken is the fact that max Blood-Soaked Shields will dock you 5% of your health every time you kill. You need to have some sort of health regeneration to sustain yourself.

The only story mission I still need to do is the final one and I still haven't gotten the quest to kill Dukino's mom. GameFAQs says I need to get it from the bounty board in Sanctuary, but there's no mission there. What do I do?

Are you referring to the one with the skag pup that you have to feed, etc.? I've finished most of that one except for the last part, which GameFAQs says that I must have gotten the other quest on my quest list in order to complete it.

Uh... OK... I tried that quest again and was able to complete it. The last time I tried, nothing happened. I guess it glitched? :confused:

It might seem broken, especially if you're still low level, but Anarchy would basically be impossible without it for the last half of playthrough two. Your shield gets stripped in just two or three bullets and you need to be right up in your enemy's face to hit them. If you didn't get your shield back every time you'd be dead before you closed the gap to the next enemy.

I counter that with a shotgun that reloads after every shot and 5 points in Cooking Up Trouble. That 5% recharges in a little over a second.

Before this I had been focusing primarily on Deathtrap skills, but I think I'm doing Anarchy from now on.

I think I like Gun Lust the best so far. Rampage is great, but the amount of bonus damage Gun Lust gives you with No Kill like Overkill, Money Shot and Keep it Piping Hot is insane. I used a blue, 30-ish shotgun on a pirate last night and it did 137k damage on the last shot. Right now I'm using an e-tech electricity SMG and an e-tech slag SMG.

You definitely take a survivability hit, but being able to Gunzerk in FFYL makes it a lot easier to pull Second Winds when needed.

I like Gunlust a lot too. I think its pretty entertaining too when you get a big money shot and then overkill your way through a bunch of guys. Especially nice when sniping.

You sure? It's very innocuously inserted into the list, usually near Sanctuary (and sometimes Sanctuary is at the top or at the bottom, depending on your place in the story).

Not pleasant when angered.
Just a heads up, I wouldn't recommend doing all the costume codes at once. I did it for the maya and salvadore skins and only maya's showed up in my inventory at first. after using it, i went back to the shift section, clicked on the salvadore skin entry a couple times and went back into the game, then it showed in the inventory.

Get a skin, use it, then get another. Probably save some headaches.

New code for Axton (Yellowjacket):

Xbox 360 SHiFT Code: KBKBT-WH6Z5-X96B6-WX3TJ-5J6J3
PlayStation 3 SHiFT Code: CJ5T3-5H5KT-3KCKT-9JKBB-3SKHT

This code will be active until Sunday, November 4, 2012 at 11:55PM CT -- find out what time that is for you here: http://bit.ly/Sb8Ogf

NOTE: Upon redeeming the above SHiFT code, the corresponding item will be added to your inventory the next time you load or create a character. If you have redeemed multiple SHiFT codes and queued up multiple inventory items, one will be added to your inventory each time a character is loaded. (This is what the above poster was referring to, I believe.)

Next code at 4 PM Central US (about two hours from this post).

Are you at least level 15? I don't believe you can access it before then.

Edit: I poked around. One of the reviews when it released said you had to be level 15, but it looks like they were misconstruing another review saying you should wait until you were level 15.

I'm on PS3 and I've seen them sometimes completely invisible, sometimes like that. I think they go from visible, to completely invisible, to the sort of thing in that image. And then they go back to visible when they get close to you or attack you or something like that, I don't know what causes them to swap between them.

So I'm in TVHM with Zero and I've noticed all the boss drops have fallen through the world. I haven't received a single gun from any boss. I've watched them disappear and at first I just thought it was me seeing things but I killed Doc Mercy and the quest item fell through the world too. Is this a common problem? Because this sucks.

One thing I've noticed with both Axton and Gaige in TVHM is that Flynt's Tinderbox gun, which drops every drat time in normal mode, never drops. I don't know if it just doesn't spawn, or falls through the world, or what, but I've never seen it in TVHM.
