I have a question about boosting.

I'm at 42/50 and just finished up the Overlook beacon defense in TVHM. I really want to get to 50 and stop worrying about obsolete loot/quests. If I boost up to 50 with Flesh-Stick, can I start collecting sidequest loot right away scaled at the level cap, or does it HAVE to be playthrough 2.5?

I just really want the lv.50 Babymaker something fierce, to be honest.

The sidequests won't jump to 50 until you beat the story. Sorry pal.

Bit of a long shot but does anybody on the PS3 version have level 50 Legendary Siren and/or Assassin mods they'd be willing to dupe for me? The Vermivorous ones, not the Terra ones.

Heck, for that matter can they even be duped? Thought I read earlier in the thread something about them being bind on pickup. Decided to cave and break my no-duping rule only for those since Vermivorous is such a colossal pain to spawn.

I got pretty lucky this morning. Got the Siren head off of BNK3R, the Commando head and a lv 48 Cradle from Henry, and a lv 50 Impaler from the Warrior if you want one, just ask. Friend me, say you're a goon, all that usual stuff. 'lol speedboat' on xbox live.

In about a half-dozen fights with Warrior, I've yet to see an orange drop. In two fights with Terra? Mecho mod and Siren mod--my secondary and primary characters. Much rather farm Terra at that rate.

From what I've read, I'm not too keen on Vermi's Siren mod, but I'm keeping an open mind until I see one. Whether I mean the mod or Vermivorous is for you to interpret.

I think Terra is guaranteed to drop one of his Slayer mods every time you kill him. Speaking of which, does anyone have a good build for the Gunzerker Slayer mod I finally picked up? I'm currently taking this for a spin- only difference from my unhinged hoarder mod build is that two points are taken out of Lay Waste and put into Hard To Kill and Incite to take advantage of the across the board bonuses to the first row (excepting Inconceivable) skills. Equipped a +45% Vitality Relic to sort of synergize with Hard To Kill and the bonus health from the mod (have a good Anshin shield on as well to add even more). Beyond that, the only other benefit from the mod is the increased ignition chance from fire weapons/increased fire damage, which means I tear rear end through unshielded flesh enemies I guess. Any other ideas on how to better utilize the thing?

They can be duped since I've been giving out Siren ones to Siren users. I've also got the mechro one but no luck on assassin. I'll be on in about an hour and my PSN is the same as my user name.

About farming the Warrior, there is an exploit to getting more legendaries, but it only works during the first time you kill him and have access to the "moonshot". I'll c/p what I found from another forum.

------------
Regarding the Warrior method and how it's done, when you get to part where you call the Moonshot to finish it off during the story mission, simply save and quit, then go backup your save file incase you call the moonshot when doing this method. After that's out the way, load your game back up, have player 2 join from split-screen, call the moonshot as player 2, have player 2 look for anything useful you want, once done, save and quit as player 2, then quit game from xmb/dashboard. You can repeat that as much as you like, as long as you don't gently caress it up. The legendaries have very high chance of dropping this way, about 75% apparently, not sure on the %, but I know for sure legendary are far more often when doing this.

I'm just in the bit before the Thresher in the main story (got past Leviathan by way of gratuitous 12-Pounder spam. thanks Big Sleep!) and kind of worried now. He seems to be a pretty well-regarded high water mark for TVHM skill level. I've done well against larger bosses thusfar in my run but we'll see how it goes.

EDIT: I just had a thought. Is there a damage ceiling in this game, as per older RPGs such as Final Fantasy where a single hit tops out at 9999 (or whatever power of ten you want to scale it to?)

No. Using the Evil Smasher glitch, the Bee, and a shotgun I've seen 2.5 million damage crit shots. It really is the best glitch. If you keep repeating the reload animation you sometimes get a buff with different multipliers, your damage/accuracy/firing rate can get a bit insane.

Even if you don't like cheating, what I do is (when they join) state that you'll dupe any oranges, so there's no fighting over it. Anyone who doesn't reply or refuses gets the boot straight off.

Evil Smasher glitch, Bee, Anarchy and the CC is the best. It makes me annoyed that Borderlands doesn't have blood effects, since that would just paint the level red.

You can snipe 3 or 4 weak points from the respawn alone. I did it solo with zero and without the over powered bee/weapon combo

On another note, the sandhawk is pretty beast with the bee. It works faster for killing terra/warrior much faster than a CC

Beat Leviathan and picked up the repeat 'Treasure of the Sands' quest but it seems to be bugged. It tells me to enter Magnys Lighthouse but when I get there there's no quest marker on the map. If I go to the top of the lighthouse it's not possible to put the compass into the slot again and I can't access Leviathan.

Am I missing something or have I hit a bugged quest?

edit: fixed it. You can't fast travel to Magnys Lighthouse, you have to enter the area from Wurmwater by raising the gate again otherwise the quest markers won't appear.

edit 2: I'm trying to farm the treasure room using the invisible Leviathan glitch but whenever I load my save, the corpse is visible. It stops me seeing the landmarks so I keep falling to my death when trying to judge when to turn. Any help?

Try turning in the quest if you haven't yet; that usually makes him vanish. If you kill him, raid the room, save and quit (so you start in his stomach), he'll still be there (at least in my experience).

I've tried probably a half dozen times or more to kill him and have only whittled down maybe 1/10 of his health with all kinds of combos (Bee + Maggie, Bee + burning Baby Maker, Maggie + Hide of Terramorphous, some lvl 50 Hyperion Corrosive SMG + Bee), I just do not get how you're supposed to kill him.

gently caress whoever thought he'd be a good idea.

He's meant to be a super-tough raid boss, but even with a group I've had trouble. However I just managed to solo him as a Siren. You want to use a Baby Maker, a Bee, the Tediore allegiance relic that gives +30% Damage/+70% magazine size, and a class mod and skills that increase damage. Then just run up to him and keep reloading at him.
