Does Pete still have a chance to drop legendaries in UVHM? Because I've only got Seraph gear from him so far.

He's dropped a whole one legendary for me, and that as a neogenator.

Has anyone been able to kill voracidous on uvhm yet? I can kill chief ngwatu but as soon as I do all the little midgets show up and everything focus's on me. Plus voracidous gets super damage and it's like having a to fight a rabid stalker on steroids.

The only way I've been able to kill vora was by abusing the glitch were you go under the arena and shoot his foot with an infinity for 10 minutes. Already got my hawkeye out of it so gently caress doing that again.

There is a cheap way to fight him. It requires two people to do though. Alternatively, are you looking for the Hawkeye or Interfacer? I have both.

As for the glitch, it will require you to die after you use it (so pack a grenade mod that isn't homing or bouncing), but you can just run back in and collect the loot afterwards.

I was trying to kill him legit by myself. Probably just wait and take another crack at him once I have better weapons.

Edit: I just watched the spawn pod that would have been Vermivorous get hit by a train. God. Damnit.

At least you got close to him spawning. I've tried getting him to appear at the Johnson farm in Tundra Express probably a dozen times and the furthest I've gotten is a trio of Ultimate Badass Varkids.

Do you have the Natural Selection Annex? That can be one of the best places to find him, since Ultimate Badasses can spawn straight away in the later rounds.

Playing BL2 with goons is the tits. I learned all sorts of new things, like what Twerking is, and what slores are. Plus we came up with Tolkien inspired slang for clitoris. Also :catdrugs:


Anyone know which fibber is the "best"? By which I mean, shits out the most damage. I got a 61 redundant and some powerful slag version, just not sure if I can do better.

Gearbox, I know you're really nerf-happy but please don't touch the Rubi. You might be tempted to nerf it because offhanding one makes a gunzerker practically immortal, but seriously. Don't touch it. :tinfoil:

All kidding aside, I've never had much success with Moxxi's weapons. Seems like the healing it provides is never enough for my needs.

:smug: My work here is done!

The Rubi is an exception because instead of the normal 2% of all inflicted damage converting to healing, it converts 12% of all damage inflicted to healing while it's equipped. That's why a gunzerker can just offhand it and blast everything with a powerful mainhand gun and stay topped off on health. Or anybody could just equip a Rubi and throw a powerful grenade. Or a melee Zer0/Gaige/Krieg can carry a bladed Rubi and pair it with a strong melee shield.

S'alright, I actually got that quest farm-ready for level 61. I'd love to pair it with my fire-butcher for sextastic fun.Which, byt the way, if none of you have tried it yet, double-butchers on a Gunzerker means reloading only rarely (assuming you put points in the right places). And iff anyone has a caustic butcher, I will shower you with gold...and pearlescents.

If you don't catch delpheye on first, I can give you the caustic butcher as well. I owe you for the hours of amusement you provide for Duck and I :). I have a fire Rubi too, but no slag.

Your left-most tree is the easy-mode tree; the other two require a teensy bit of finesse.

What's your system/gamertag or PSN handle? I've got some stuff for a new player that might be useful to you.

Left most tree, Best Friends Forever, was designed as the easy mode tree and was there for people who had never played FPS games before. The middle tree, Little Big Trouble, is designed as the elemental tree and buffs the hell out of both your shock capabilities and deathtrap. The right most tree, Ordered Chaos, is the tree designed to challenge players. It's all about high risk/high reward via giving you loads of extra damage at the cost of accuracy.

So basically it all depends on what you want out of Gaige.

Echoing the BFF tree for the first time. First playthrough isn't strict on things like elemental sage and slag, and Deathtrap can murder people really easily. Maybe play around with LBT for a bit more firepower for Gaige instead of relying on DT.
