I'm gonna fuck me a moon man!

Tachikama posted:

I just went into the Barroom in TVHM and at level 55 dominated. I guess Deathtrap gets wicked powerful with the right mods at those levels. I could keep him out for two rounds and let him do all the work. That being said, at 55 you net only about 2600 for each time you complete the mission, and only about 4xp per baddie. Definitely not good for XP farming at that level. I guess I will use it or the UVHM barroom to power level Krieg though. I just want to hit 61, this bullet sponge nonsense is annoying as gently caress. I just want it done.

I am maxed out on Torgue Tokens, but if you want to PL me I will pay you back with those or any higher level loot I end up farming. Send me a message if you want to let me in.

Yeah, at 61, the mission is work just under 10k, and 1k per mob death isn't uncommon. I think 60-61 is only like 10 runs through it, so it's relatively quick no matter what.

I feel so weak against them, mostly because slag doesn't seem to do much and Deathtrap does naff all damage to it. Not really looking forward to the Crystalisk bosses.

That is a pretty drat good assault rifle for 55, and it's a godsend for running through the WExP and Sawtooth Cauldron. The 'Wild rear end' prefix means that accuracy goes to poo poo in exchange for wildly higher stats everywhere else, and the way the gun works - a single bullet splitting into three after a medium distance and exploding each of the minis bursting into a ball of fire shortly thereafter - you don't actually need accuracy. Just find a place where fleshy targets are, get a medium distance away, and hold down the trigger until the target is crispy and golden brown.

Welp,

I passed through about $200,000 in deaths with my UVHM Mechro, so I gave up and started over with a Commando and holy poo poo this is the class I should have started with. If anyone wants to plow through a low-level run please feel free to jump in and destroy things for/with me. I've already gotten decent weapons at level 10 so I'm happily marching through most of the story without a problem.

I managed to get that exact same thing farming the treasure room last night, I love it. I used a longbow stormfront for most of UVHM, with double the fun it's probably one of the best grenades in the game. I'd love to get my hands on a homing sticky one if they even exist.

Got a transformer and a deliverance to drop off pimon and tumba in the wildlife exploitation preserve! Sadly the deliverance is level 59 and the transformer is 60 (pay no attention to both those enemies being a couple levels above 61) but hey, I got those things.

Edit: Had a loot midget show up after opening a stalker pile and he dropped a level 61 stabbing kerblaster! Most legendaries I've ever seen without farming.

Got myself a level 61 resolute stalker off a hyperion loot midget just now. Damage: 40714, Acuracy: 78.8, Fire Rate: 10.5, Reload Speed: 2.2, Magazine Size: 41. Bullet speed could be a bit better but I'm sure on a character with a talent to makes them go faster it'll be just fine.

I spent a while farming Knuckledragger before I realized he doesn't even drop the Thunderball Fist which was annoying though.

Do the 60+ Legendary mods have +6 to skills, or is it maxed at 5? Not sure if it's worth it to try and farm for those or not... i'm on PSN so you can't help me. :smith:

all class mods stay at +5/+4/+4 or +6/+5. The only increase they get are to the extra stats they offer (gun damage, shield charge rate, etc).

A lv. 61 Catalyst mod give +45% team elemental dmg opposed to the 40% from lower lvl mods for example.

It's not good for your health.

:frogc00l:
Saturn in UVHM is an untold level of bullshit and the first time UVHM has really made me say that.

It took me over half an hour to solo him earlier. He's immune to elemental effects including Slag, which seems like a massive oversight in UVHM in general - to have things immune to a core mechanic like that just seems like an absolutely terrible design decision. BNK3R wasn't so bad because he doesn't have Saturn's three trillion health and is a lot easier to fight in general thanks to having realistic crit points and not "four pixels on his heels." Slag immune enemies just seem like total bullshit given the mechanics at play in UVHM. It's the only complaint I really have about it. But it's a big complaint.

Of course not five minutes after I beat him down there was a huge powercut so I have to do it again in order to progress further :suicide:

Probably going to just get myself to Level 61 and grab an updated The Bee before I try again because gently caress that noise.

Gearbox to patch out elevators due to players not using them as intended. :downs:

I forgot who asked this, but you CAN farm the Doctor's Orders' midgets way easier by going in/exiting the Natural Selection Annex. The only fights you need to do are the loaders and stalkers before the midget room. It's already gotten me a new relic (31% shock/ 37% CD Rate) and a few pearls/legendaries.

I'm going to try a no-anarchy build as soon as I get a technophile mod with fancy mathematics +5 or +6. That, and one of the new relics with elemental resist + shield charge rate/delay.

That's great since it appears my method for getting in the treasure room has stopped working for some reason so I'll probably have to start killing those midgets here pretty soon. If you could run past that Ultimate Badass Loader that would be wonderful, I don't know why but that fucker manages to kill me at least once or twice per run. I never had any problems with them during the campaign :( I just want a corrosive Butcher, damnit! I'm sick of JNK Loaders putting me in FFYL the second they look at me.

I got bored and was curious to see what Deathtrap looks like with 2 maxed out skill trees. Turns out he looks pretty rad.


Vanilla DT, no skills. Very meh nowadays.


All BFF skills. Green and yellow, absolutely huge.


All LBT skills. Blue, spiky, looks pretty swish for a shock Gaige.


All OC skills. It has a skull face and is covered in blood. That's pretty much all that matters.


BFF and LBT trees. Cyan and yellow, cool mix of the spikes and armour too.


BFF and OC trees. Bright yellow with all the best of Anarchy. Looks brutal as hell.


LBT and OC trees. PINK! Quite possibly the most Gaige-esque Deathtrap ever designed.

Treasure room is great if you're looking for some blue class mods or an e-tech launcher, but midgets just keep on giving. Yesterday I got a lv.60 storm front (from a vendor along the way) and today a midget gave me a lv. 61 longbow storm front :psyduck:. It gets extra points for letting me kill something and not only have me run along invisible platforms.

edit: Make sure you don't pass up any ammo chest too. Random loot midget from a box close to the annex popped out :aaa:.

If I'm on, I'll PL you in barroom for a while. I was still using 50 legendaries in UVHM until 54-55 where they became pretty ineffective without hosing everything down with a good portion of my ammo. My strategy was playing in public games in UVHM to find whatever I could reasonably use at level until 61 when legendaries became a thing again.

Farming the Doctor's Orders quest is hands down the best way to go about farming guns, in my opinion.
