Can you (or are you willing) to dupe the fire bee? Or is it a bee shield resistant to fire? Fire Bee is the name of a legendary grenade mod as well.
It's the grenade mod I've got, and yes I'd be willing to do that.

It scales to you, starting at level 30, from what I remember (so 30-50).

Last night, I fought the Warrior for the second time ever, this fight being the first with my Mechromancer. It dropped a Scalable Conference Call.

Too bad it's only level 32 or so

You actually got something really great. I have a level 30 Conference Call and it makes an outstanding twink item for alts. Plus, at 49 with The Bee it still takes TVHM The Warrior down in one clip.

Save the DLC for when you're 50 after beating playthrough 2. Some of that quest loot is stuff you would really want as 50 loot.

360: 5BCJB-WBZS5-XZRTF-CF3BJ-B6BB6
PS3: WJCTT-S3X5B-T5WWJ-ZJWTJ-HXC6F

But you should watch the video too anyway, it's pretty good.

e:f;b but I link to the video so.

These are still good as of 11 AM EST, so they might not expire?

OBi, I just checked and I did say "screw you, Belgian, I need mo' loot in my stash!" and sell both Legendary Hunter mods. If it's any consolation it was yze that was getting snubbed, so consider it payback for all the times he backstabbed you in Gears?

If I hit another one you'll be the first to know, promise. Although as a warning: Halo 4 is bitchin' and will be what I play for a while.

Edit: and in light of that, any 360 goons with one handy wanna help OBi (GT: Sprocktor) out and dupe him a Legendary Hunter mod? He's a pretty cool guy, I promise!

Yeah I mean it still trivialized the Warrior on successive attempts. It's much more effective than the Fibber I was using (I have the version that, after the bullets ricochet, they form a circle with a dot, like a bulls-eye). I was using the fibber and just shooting at the ground, because I have points in "Close Enough." I was referring more to the fact that I'm not going to be worth much for duplicating purposes since there are a ton of level 50's floating around

Dang, and I thought I played a lot. I'm at like 10500 Badass Rank give or take. Beaten the game and the DLC once with my Gunzerker main dude and just beat the main game with my Mechro. I have all the other classes up to at least level 20 playing legitimately (no boosting).

I think this has to do with the zombie virus I read was going about. Apparently someone rigged up a "hardcore mode" that would make it impossible to respawn, and if you joined the game of someone who was playing with that custom feature, and died during the play session, your character would unable to spawn again. Hadn't heard anyone getting it in this thread, but it made some news on the game sites.

My Badass Rank is just shy of 13,200 at this point, and I've yet to get a character to 50. I'm about 2,000 XP away from level 46 on my main, looking to spend this election night trying to get to Lv 47 (operative word there is "try") before closing up shop for the day.

To be honest if you're going to get a gaming tattoo, picking a memorable character may not be the best idea. At least with this, he can say to people "hey look at my cool tattoo of an angel with an electronic motif" without having to mention that she's a video game character. Same with the wrist chains, people would just assume that's a cool design.

But if you put Princess Zelda on your arm, people who know who Princess Zelda is will think you are very sad for putting a video game character on your arm, and people who don't know who Princess Zelda is will think you are very sad for putting an anime princess on your arm, and people who don't know what either of those things are will ask you "who's that on your arm?" and then you have to explain that it's Princess Zelda, that she's a character from a video game, and why you care about Princess Zelda so much you had to put her on your arm. And then the person you explain that to will immediately jump to the conclusion that you are secretly whacking it to pictures of Princess Zelda every night.

It's not a virus nor a custom feature. The hardcore mode was a planned feature and some of the mechanics for it were implemented - like permadeath via save deletion. The problem came from the fact that saving a character in a hardcore mode game set the hardcore flag on the savefile and in turn games created with that character are hardcore mode games.

That said, he's got the Transformers logo on his pants so I don't think anyone will confuse him with somebody cool doing cool things with a cool tattoo.

Man, I hope they figure out something to do with excess eridium in one of the upcoming DLCs. Maybe you could craft an at-level purple-grade gun from the existing part archetypes in the game or something? That would be cool. Like 40 E-bux and you have exactly the kind of gun you want.

Was playing with a Gunzerker up to level 13 and hit a brick wall at "A Dam Fine Rescue" going across the top of the dam with the robots.

Playing through again as the Mecromancer, I wondered why all these loot midgets start popping out of every other chest, turns out different enemies turn up on each playthrough through to 2.5. The game manual is practically a pamphlet so I had to find this information from one of the wikis.

I find this a difficult game to have a "short" session of, especially playing it in the evening.

Well, I thought BNK-3R was going to be difficult with the Siren on TVHM. More grind than difficult when you are only hitting on a crit for 62K a pop. Good news is grinding (solely to get the missions done) at Opportunity, Thousand Cuts and at the Bunker site was more lucrative XP-wise. Up to Level 48 now, think there's a possibility without excess grinding that I could hit 50 before reaching the end of TVHM.

Think I have my goal for the extended weekend now.

Most bosses can be sniped while underlevelled from a relatively safe spot if you're patient. For Bnk3r on my Siren I just stuck to the bottom deck near the vending machines and plinked him down. The Warrior can also be shot from outside of his room if you jump up on the wall to the left of the drop down to his room.
