So I was farming Bunker with my Lvl 46 Assassin and I ran across an interesting bug. With the Bore Ability and any weapon (I found a hyperion shotgun worked best); by shooting across bunkers face starting at the auto-cannon points bunker would simply die. When this occured the "Bore" sound would fire off continually and Bunker just dropped to no health. It even bugged out when I fired off a shot and it hit the right spot before it even spawned properly.

Sadly after several tries I did not find the Knight helmet to give to goons.

Bore's an amazing skill on some bosses. It can legitimately destroy Hyperius within seconds.

I had never had that happen before. Most of the time I hear the bore sound and I'm looking at the screen and I don't have 2 enemies where I'm firing. the most fun I've had it with it was when I got a bunch of enemies lined on a slope and I head shotted a bunch of them in a row. It's the little things in Borderlands I enjoy.

This is how I farm Bunker for hours. But I don't know if it's just me but he bugs about 50% of the time in the sense that instead of going through his death animation, he drops where he is and spews half his loot off the world.

It's worth it.

I spent my rent money on tentacle porn.
I foolishly sold my Bee because I had a shield with over double the hit points and didn't know what the amp damage did properly so I'm trying to farm it again. What's the condition to make the fella respawn? Fast travelled away and back. Even killed the last boss again and went back but he wasn't there again.

He dropped the Bee the first time I killed him too. I imagine that's my luck used up right there.

Quit out of the game and reload. You should load back at the fast travel station and then run over, kill him again. Rinse and repeat until you get bored or get the Bee.

Twister seems incredibly obnoxious to get.

For those wondering, it's a red text Unique Jackobs Shock Shotgun dropped by Ohmn Ohmn Ohk, the hidden "boss" of the third DLC. You spawn him Vermivorous style, basically hoping a local witch doctor will turn a Badass Savage into him.

At about 5 minutes an attempt in the best possible location, which guarantees 3 Badass Savages, I have gotten him to spawn 6 times. I've spent at least 6 hours attempting this specifically over the last week. Just as an assumption, I'd say the base odds for Ox3 to appear are 1-in-100. I have yet to get the shotgun. I dunno why I'm doin' this, they're gonna raise the level cap soon enough. I'm so bored you guys.

I think I'm finally done with Torgue vending machines. I'm so glad they fixed the level 48 glitch, because now I have level 50 versions of a Nukum with about 400k damage, a double penetrating unkempt harold, and a nasty kerblaster. My commando is ready to blow up the world.

Because of them fixing the vending machines I was finally able to get a l50 bonus package with the x10 split for my gunzerker. It owns, but I've accidentally downed myself with the gigantic effective explosion radius created by throwing two out at once.

Also finally found a purple minigun-barrel torgue rifle, still trying for that drat DP Harold.

I think I might be. haha. I'll be on tonight around 8:30pm give or take a few minutes depending on how cooperative my daughter is about bed time. If I'm already in game just join and holler. These days I'm usually on a 20's siren, gunzerker or assassin... oh the things I'll do for eridium and weapon mules.

Also, I'm looking for heads and player skins if anyone is hoarding those. Until BL2 will properly save my vehicle skin preferences they can go gently caress right off into space.

It's a lv 50 Cobra, right? If you want heads though, I can help out with some of the slightly rare ones. I have the wedding commando and siren ones.

Level 50 or nothing! Though I did get a level 4 thunderball off Flynt the other day. I'm down for any and all heads and characters skins anyone has. Is the wedding head the one with the tophat?

I too am looking for any rare skins for any character, specifically for hoarding. Maybe one of us will have to venture into gamefaqs and beg since I'm sure there are at least a couple skin mules on there.

Kill his Surveyors. Pretty sure they give him ridiculous amounts of shields very quickly. Since you're in TVHM make sure you're using a good Shock weapon against the shields and then to switch to a good Corrosive for taking down his Armor.

It also might help to know what class you're playing currently but I'm pretty sure they should all be capable of beating him solo.

Do all of Tina's side quests before you fight him. The Tea Party quest chain gives you one of the best corrosive pistols in the game and it's perfect for fighting Wilhelm. Use corrosive grenades if you have them as well.

When fighting him, pay attention to see if there are any Surveyors floating around him and kill those first to stop the shield regen. As long as he doesn't have any Surveyors healing him he's a pushover.

Also maybe gain a level or two just to make sure you're up to snuff? Use a couple gold keys if you have them?

We're both level 42. It just seems that I get him down to quarter health and then there's too many bots for me and Deathtrap to fend off and I die respawning with him at full health and me with no rockets or if I do try and kill off his spawns his repair bots have him shielded up again.

God drat it. Had a decent run there then got knocked off the cliff.

The annoying part is getting his health down and dying and not having any ammo.

Did it. Ended up turtling in the cove you start in, killing all the spawned bots and just whittling him down. The guns I've been using have been wrecking everything up till him too. Ah well. Anarchy is pretty cool too, respecced into that.
