Oh, I'm in. Dual wielding high damage torgue shotguns is like the whole point of gunzerking.

Also, I'm curious about the new class mods. They have "true neutral" in the pics, but I wonder if we'll get other D&D based versions. You know like lawful, chaotic, good, evil, etc.
They've already confirmed more types of class mods than true neutral. For some reason they haven't been found in the update yet though.

powerlevel to 61 in the bar room, then burn through everything, taking nothing but story missions. or bring a level 61 friend with you to kill everything.

Right now I have my Siren at 50 (that's the highest level of legendary gear I have) from going through the bar fight with my high level Mechro.

I would actually advise against this strat unless you have another lower level character because there's some story missions that require you to either light varkids on fire or cripple robots and I just end up murdering them with my level 50 character on the first playthrough. Besides that I guess there's no other way to quickly skip to the final boss?

seriously? light the varkinds on fire by dragging them towards one of those exploding fire plants and shoot it.

the crippling robots will eventually time out and the door will open on its own.

no, there is no way to skip through the game. unless you have a game shark of course. then the code you want is:

You can also burn the varkids by luring a bunch of them over to one of those big towers and pushing the button on it. It'll shoot fire everywhere in the vicinity.

this too, though somehow when I do that it doesn't always burn all of them. for whatever reason getting them all aggro'd in my face and running to a firemelon has been the most reliable way.

ALSO, every time you start that mission, if you look at the snowman's head next to the vending machines, you will find a Flynt's Tinderbox that's leveled appropriately. this can also be used to set things on fire without killing them.

I've played this game way too much.

Thanks for all of the responses to my totally naive questions regarding this excellent game.

Having little in the way of expectations for it other than being an aesthetically unique FPS/RPG-lite with a strong online community, I am seriously impressed so far.

I was just wondering if there are any common recommendations for gunzerkers in terms of what to put your skills and badass rank points towards initially (or not)? If the answer is that anything goes and nothing is wasted, then that's awesome too. I'm only hoping to avoid spending skills or points on totally useless bonuses etc., if those even exist. Thanks again, tried searching for a FAQ or wiki but didn't find anything comparable to that for Dark Souls or the like.

You can respec your skills at the character customisation station in the main city for like a couple thousand as many times as you like so feel free to just try anything out.

Badass points are unlimited, are persistent across all your characters and the bonus gets less the more times you select the same bonus so just spread them around. Gun damage, reload speed, accuracy and recoil reduction are probably the main ones for a gunzerker I'd say though.

I would avoid putting badass points into Shield Recharge Delay since it messes with some builds (roid shields!).

Does anyone on the ps3 have a lv. 61 grounded Blackhole shield? I've been farming it for the past week and the best one I've gotten was the one I picked up when the level cap patch was released. Got plenty of peals/legendaries/uniques to trade if anyone needs them.

You can always reset your skill points at a character customization station. There's one in Sanctuary.

I am currently running with a Rampage gunzerker, but I spent most of the first playthrough with most of my points in Brawn. Do what you think is fun, and worry about optimizing later.

For the Varkids, I just put on a low-level flame nova shield and ran around until they broke it.

Also, I'm sorta lost on when you're supposed to cripple robots. I don't remember any quest like that.

Part of the main quest where you have to save Bloodwing. It's to open the enterance to the Wildlife Exploitation Preserve.

Oooh. I suppose it's cause I've never done Wildlife by myself from the beginning. Just joined people already doing the missions. Also I've only gotten to the Wildlife with two characters so there's that too I guess.

there are starving children in africa that don't have electricity, let alone infinities.

if there's a particular infinity you're just dying to swoon over, I can probably dupe it for you if you're on 360. personally, I only use them when I know I'm going to run out of ammo(or already have). they don't do very good damage at 61 in UVHM.

Lol, sadly (I guess) I'm on PS3, and I agree that it's not very damaging. The Infinity was just one of those items that I had been after for a long time and when I finally got one it sorta bummed me out. Thanks for the offer though delpheye!

It could've been worse... I was doing some early grinding on my Gunzerker when I first started him, and I got a level 8 Infinity. ugh. It still made the rounds between my early characters though since hey, Infinity, right? :negative:

Dunno man, my lvl61 Hoplite shield with 500,000HP begs to differ when the lvl61 Evolution only saves me from 150,000. I am stoked as poo poo to run into the new weapons, though. Even more excited for double-drunk gunzerking.

Really liking this game. It's taking me back to PSO Dreamcast. I'm at LVL 43 and I have a shitload of LVL 50 guns that I feel like I'll never get to use. Leveling up is taking forever since I hit 40.

They dropped the ball by not identifying the DLC pack that you do not have to join someone's public game. Unless I am missing it somewhere??

Picked up several legendary class mods (Psycho, Gunzerker and Mechromancer) recently that I'm happy to swap for other fun stuff (a Norfleet would be amazing but probably optimistic). Really want to do some co-op stuff too, as I've never had the chance.

Anyone have a legendary siren and gunzerker mod at lv 50 they'd be willing to dupe? Me and my friend are at 43 in our co op game and will probably hit 50 in the next week so having those would be sweet. A few decent legendary guns (like the Maggie) around that level would be nice too but that's just me being greedy. I'm on 360 and my GT is Pictorial Gnome. Any rare psycho heads and a legendary mod for him would be cool too if possible.

If you cross your fingers, wear a couple shrunken heads, perform an ancient satanic semicircle ritual, summon the god of loot drops, and hop on one foot while patting your head and rubbing your belly, there is a very slim chance that you will get what you are hoping for.

So basically, no, there's no trick.

If anyone has a Siren legendary mod at lvl 50 that'd be great, a gunzerker or Psycho one and any of his weirder heads would be good too. GT is Pictorial Gnome.
