If I'm going to farm minibosses for legendaries do I have to do it during their related quest? I ask because I've killed Doc Mercy like at least 50 times without him dropping an Infinity, but I turned in that quest long ago. On the flipside, I got my Bee from Hunter Hellquist on like my fourth try, but I'm pretty sure that was while his quest was still active. Did I screw up by turning in the quest, or are the drop rates really that low and I just got lucky with the Bee?

I don't think you can kill them with the quest active multiple times. As soon as you kill them with the quest active the first time the quest should update with a new objective.

I think that is its damage. I'm going to log in for a bit and I'm also on irc. My xbox tag is Hambonius 0mega (the "0" is a zero)

I might not play for that long as I have a house guest sleeping in my living room. Look me up and msg me on xbox. Just realize I won't be able to speak when we're trading so: 1. I will join your game. 2. We will move away from save beacons. 3. In a safe place I will drop my poo poo and log off.

edit. 3A. Don't pick up the stuff until I log off

Mission success. I kind of just threw down what I had on that character.

I believe you can use it if you equip a relic that increases magazine size.

use the ES glitch and you can. unfortunately you'll get zero anarchy stacks because you never reload so it makes it somewhat moot.

You gain anarchy stacks when you reload(specifically when you burn through a full magazine and have to reload). If you have the magazine reduction skill then infinity pistols end up with a 0 round magazine. If you ES glitch an infinity pistol to have a magazine greater than 1 then a mechro with that skill can then use it but since you gain anarchy when you reload, you will never gain anarchy.

See?

You can use the Infinity Pistol with Anarchy you just have to wait until you've maxed out your stacks first and either don't use Smaller Lighter Faster or use the ES glitch once.

True. I didn't consider gaining stacks before doing the glitch. But the OP was regarding a mechro with points in Ordered Chaos(or whatever it's called), and to get anywhere in that tree you have to have Smaller Lighter Faster.

EDIT: vvv my bad. I didn't realize kills also generated stacks.

Don't forget kills also get you stacks, it isn't just the reloads. In fact, the infinity guarantees you'll never accidentally reload so you can spend that discord point elsewhere if you want.

This is, sadly, more important to me than bettering myself.

I've been farming Henry the stalker trying to get the Rasta head for my Gunzerker. I've pulled three(!) copies of 'The Cradle' shield and not a single head. What the hell, are they really rarer than legendary crap?

AzMiLion posted:

Does anyone on 360 have an infinity pistol available for trading/duping? my GT is AzMiLion, i don't really have anything to offer in return for it.

Sure, I'll try to be on tonight and I can drop those and a few others on you. Out of curiosity, do you have any Blue+ Tier Bandit or Vladof guns? Those things are like catnip to me.

Hambone, Kifisonfire - are either of you guys going to be on tonight or later this week?

I'm pretty sure I got the rasta head on TVHM before I even got to Sanctuary. I can't remember where I got it from though, it might even have been from a vending machine.

Yes I will be on sporadically this week. I'm mountain time and I'm on leave for work. I'm also a single parent so my weekdays are more free then my evenings.

That said I am very loving frustrated with Borderlands. This is the third time this badass reset and lost skins thing has happened to me. I thought they fixed this. I just went into all my characters and seem to have recovered about half of points. If you haven't experienced this yet; Think how much fun spending 200+ Badass points would be?

The treasure stash is my go-to place for relics and stuff because of the crazy amount of chests, but even when I find them a lot of the time it will be just shy of "the relic". I find a lot of action skill 32% relics, which is great since I already have a 35%. But yeah, I'll keep an eye out.

I got the Commando and Siren heads from Henry and have just been holding on to them for duping purposes. I take it you're on Xbox? If you're not already on my list, friend me. Same name as my forums name. No Gunzerker head, I know, but if you want those two as well I'm happy to dupe.

Cool, I appreciate it. I've been farming Pete for relics, and I actually found my 24% explosive relic from Terramorphous. Perhaps the treasure room would be better overall. It's really boring, but so is Pete farming at this point.

In the PC thread someone just mentioned a new patch that fixes some of the dumber aspects of the game, like Torgue machines only stocking up to level 48 oranges and correcting Zero's SoT mod.

Now if they could just add in a way to get some more skill points...

Here's a list of hotfixes, from http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/community/articles/993/borderlands-2-hot-fixes

Borderlands 2 Hot Fixes
January 29, 2013
Adjusted Mechromancer’s Sweetheart class mod to correctly increase team health.
Assassin’s “Slayer of Terramorphous” class mod no longer includes Gunzerker skill bonus.
Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage : Critical hits against Midgets now register properly.
Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage : Rat Thief enemies are no longer allowed in Pete’s Bar due to patron concerns regarding excessive theft.
Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage : Torgue vending machines can now stock up to level 50 legendary weapons.

I'm glad they got rid of the rats. I play a lot of pub games and for some reason, that's a popular spot. My mechro went from 3m to 1m in about 3 runs.

Not that cash is a thing to worry about, but it's easier to hold onto it than it is to dupe it.

Unwrapping this game for my first taste of the sequel! I'm going to play as Axton first, the OP says he is good with every weapon type. Are certain weapon classes especially under/overpowered, or can I just chillax and use whatever I find that seems cool?

There are some skills that work better towards a certain weapon type but other than that you can use whatever the hell you want.

You can just chillax, the class weapon affinities are much weaker now. The main difference from BL1 is that each vendor's gear is now radically different from the others and they each have some unique aspect you can't get with the others.

I've found most Dahl weapons to be kinda useless (except for the nonuple miniguns, drat). Every weapon class/manufacturer sorta has it's charms, though. Some classes kind of work better with specific weapons when you're going for a particular build, but you can basically use whatever you want.

I never liked Dahl or Bandit guns. The reload time on Bandit guns is terrible and outweighs the pros of having a larger mag.

Good Hunter, what... what is this post?
Ok so my friends got me back into this game to do the Hammerlock + finish up the Torgue dlc. We even managed to beat Terramorphous for the first time! Working on Hyperius now.

Anyway though I'd like to expand my legendary collection I guess, so I'm looking for CCs, Infinities, Baby Makers, Bonus Package, legendary gunzerker class mads (or any class I guess). Any type of element/make is alright I'm not picky.

In return I can offer a selection of other legendaries (including the Gub, corrosive Bitch, unkempt Harold, Pyrophobia, binary thunderball fists, fire leech, Invader, a bunch of others I forgot, legendary assassin mod), a crap load of various relics, a couple lvl 50 quest rewards, a few assorted heads/skins (nothing too rare here), some nice purples I guess?

on the xbox, gt is Are You Batman, I'm on right now but I'mma go shower then I'll stay on for an hour or two then I'll be on tomorrow evening?


Sometime later this week when I have more time I'd be down to fight some of the other raid bosses or whatever but I'd have no idea what to do/good builds.


uhh, so thanks in advance?
