Father Wendigo: Sep 28, 2005; This is, sadly, more important to me than bettering myself.

I just picked this game up on Black Friday, and I'm going to be joining a group of friends soon. I'm a Gunzerker, and I just picked up a very sweet pistol named 'Patriot's Infinity.' I'm basically running around everywhere but sanctuary with the trigger held down, and it's all very cathartic and lovely. However, I'm worried because I'm level 11-12, and the gun is lvl. 10. Have I locked myself out of a level [<10] Patriot's Infinity?

Also, anything to suggest to a new player?

This kind of answers both questions...

Don't worry! You will basically outlevel all of those neat items within an hour or two. Don't obsess over loot too much -- there will always be a slightly higher level gun right around the corner.

If you do a TVHM (new game+) run, just do the main story, then all side quest items will scale to level 50.

Yeah don't worry about it, finding a gun doesn't preclude you from finding a higher-level version of the same gun later. The Infinity is extremely rare though, so you may very well not find another one anyway (without duping) though!

Will there be more guns out there with infinite ammo, or will ~50ish damage will cut it as a hold-out pistol for the rest of the game? :shobon:

Dewgy: Nov 10, 2005; ~🚚special delivery~📦

I have a pistol at 50 that does ~7000 damage and even that's hardly a showstopping amount of damage so no, that one's not gonna last you all that long. Infinite ammo guns don't come around much but you can get class mods with ammo regen usually.

# ? Dec 4, 2012 07:31

Marogareh: Feb 23, 2011

Since you're using the gunzerker I wouldn't worry too much about ammo unless you're dual wielding the same type of gun and even then you can use the hoarder class mod for bullet regen. To put things in perspective a level 50 infinity can have 9k damage so yeah that one ain't gonna last long.

ammunition is not a concern for the mighty gunzerker.

You might want to stash that gun for a later character but you'll quickly outlevel it and eventually even your melee will hit 100X harder.

The Berzerker: Feb 24, 2006; treat me like a dog

Yeah don't get rid of that gun, it will be useful for leveling up new characters later, but it certainly won't last you forever. I have a few sub-level 20 legendaries that I hand down from character to character but they don't usually last me all the way through Normal, let alone TVHM mode.

ShadowedFlames: Dec 26, 2009; Shoot this guy in the face.; Fallen Rib

I have a Lv 20 shotgun I have for future characters. It ran my Mechro from 20 to about Lv 27 before the benefits couldn't make up for the low power. It's now in holding until I get my third or fourth-tier characters (Gunzerker/Commando) to that point. Having a homing shotgun helps in the early going.

4 player glitch? Are you just having 3 guests join and increase the drop rate?

Edit: if you are, I wonder if you could dupe the rare loot relic and have all 4 players equipping it

It was proven in the early days of this thread, when the crust was still hot and molten with enthusiasm, that the rare loot relic is poo poo and the only way it could possibly be worse is if it didn't do anything and just said it did.

There's a glitch with the new Invincible bosses in the Scarlett DLC. If you even enter the arena (You don't even need to pay, just walk up to the gate and it should work), the game seems to think you have 4 players, even if you're solo. You'll know if it worked if you have full ammo and can hold X at an ammo crate to pick up more (The game prevents this in solo and just says FULL). So everything is scaled for 4 players, including theoretically loot drop rates.

I've been using it to try to farm Vermivorous lately and it's been working out, but here's still a bitch to spawn on his last form. But I'm wondering if it affects things like Terra and Warrior drops, the treasure room loot and any general bosses.

By the way, Terra is actually a challenge this way. I've died on him plenty of times this way even with the Bee/CC combo.

How do you activate the glitch?

Edit: I don't think having multiple players affects treasure room loot, although I don't have much experience with multiple players in my session. I still turn on pub matches just in case anyone joins and I get lucky

Walk into either Hyperius' or Master Gee's gate. It should tell you you've entered their arena (For some reason it doesn't say it for Hyperius, but it still gives the same effect). Afterwards, fill up on ammo, then try to pick up more by holding X. If you can, then it's working.

I haven't unlocked Master Gee yet, because I can't find enough/the right people to kill hyperius. Is Gee a pain in the rear end to get to like Hyperius is?

Gee's easier to get to than Hyperius, there's only crystalisk and skags inbetween.

I would join you to kill hyperius but for some reason I can never connect to you. The commando has been the only one that I can consistently solo him with thanks to those turret shields.

I'm at the end of my first playthough, Lvl 34, and the only thing I have left before beating the game is the Hyperion Slaughterhouse. Round 4 is utterly kicking my rear end. Is there any way to cheese this solo?

Playing as a Commando, and I know I could probably just try and hide in one of the containers and keep throwing my turret out, but even trying that method I'm still dying somehow.

That's understandable. Does he actually get more powerful if you "raid" him or does him being a raid boss mean he's always at full strength anyway?

After the first 2 expansions I hope the spend a little longer on the third. I liked the humour and all but the ending to the first felt rushed and the second just felt half baked in general. I also don't understand seraph crystals at all as the seraph weapons don't have any special purpose and aren't any good.

You never get to have it out with Scarlett. She just kind of vanishes after that Roscoe? Rover? fight. I thought you would have a chance at killing her with her own pistol after picking it up but nope. Maybe in another chapter we will but a lot of the story and humour is about her inevitable betrayal and to not have a face off seems wrong.
