If you have a shock Vladof sniper then they become pretty trivial, but any less and they're a loving nightmare.

If you find appropriate cover. And with an Anarchy Mechro I can't hit poo poo with a sniper rifle.

But correspondingly just shoot whatever weapon you have with an Anarchy Mechro and it'll die fast but it's still a nightmare if you end up dead and stackless :(

EDIT: it's really not that hard with a Gunzerker and tons of points in Rampage, but they're still harder than anything else in this game.

This game is just a constant chain of finding the right gun, outleveling it, and finding another one.

The Tiny Tina heads don't drop, they're doing something different with them this time around ('different' means shift codes). There's a save floating around with all the heads and skins from the DLC in its inventory if you want it. :shrug:

1. Upgrade your guns.
2. Respec your skills.
3. Go level a bit.
4. Try, try again.

I'm pretty sure those heads can't be duped, since there's no actual item to unlock it.

you can unlock any head, but if it's a poker reward/loot box item/bought head then it'll go away if you ever change to another head.

DecentHairJelly posted:

So I was farming the loot midget room this morning and so far I've had 2 legendary drops fall right through the floor. I thought that maybe I was killing them too fast (phaselocking as they jump out before they even hit the floor) so I started letting them walk out into the big hallway, but their poo poo still occasionally drops right through the floor. What gives? This ever happen to anyone else?

you never got an answer, but yes... this happens. kinda no matter what you do. given that bloodwing/mothrakk loot can frequently do the same thing and I don't think I've ever seen it happen anywhere else(not counting things stuck under warrior, etc.) my guess is that it's due to the physics of the level.

Not true i used it and i'm able to freely swap between any of the heads even the poker ones and Goliath ones you just can't get the heads/skins that you have to actually buy, maybe you're thinking of using gibbs to put a certain head on but not really unlocking it while with the gpd editor it can unlock all the skins/heads for the characters and the skins for vehicles

as far as using an editor to make/edit gear/items, not in the slightest. there is zero evidence to suggest gearbox gives one gently caress about any of that. personal experience is that I play with a gbx employee on a regular basis and he loves the poo poo out of some of the ridiculous things I've showed him. like a bane that shoots norfleet rounds.

yes, I'm specifically talking about gibbed. I've never heard of gpd. in my opinion it's pretty useless if you can't create the actual item to unlock the head/skin so you can share with others.

You will literally never get banned from Borderlands 2 MP (and it won't get you banned from Live either). They have no way to moderate that kind of stuff and even if they did, they've come forward to say that they aren't going to do anything about dupers and cheaters and the like anyway. They didn't explicitly say "if you run around at a hundred miles an hour and unlock all the skins without doing it legitimately you're still fine" but it's pretty much a given that they made multiplayer to be fun, not to be severely moderated.

So I've been playing this with my wife (an Assassin), and Terramorphous is destroying us.

I feel impotent playing a Siren in this fight. Elemental attacks seems very weak against him, and I can't phaselock anything.

We've decided to play some new characters for now to go for the character-specific trophies, but when that's over, would I be able to get a couple other players together to show us how to beat this jerkbag?

Are you using the notch? There's a little notch in the hill by the road that one person can fit in. If you crouch down, you're protected from a lot of his attacks, including the vortex thingie, and you really only have to watch out for tentacles that get too close & occasionally Terramorphous popping up right next to you. Being able to resist the vortex lets at least one person stay alive while it's happening so you don't lose any progress on DPSing him.

For the other person, I recommend using the two rock outcroppings as cover until he knocks them down. They can also protect against the vortex, but they're a little slipperier to hide behind.

For your particular pair, I guess I'd suggest having the siren anchor the notch so you can insta-res from your higher vantage point.

Hyperius? Because the nova is easy enough to predict and you can hide behind the pipe near the entrance to dodge it. As for the missiles, you can strafe to dodge them or you can shoot them down.

I might get a flash drive and start trying out gibbed, mostly just for perfect class mods. I don't care so much about guns, but I want some good stuff for builds and good blue/purple class mods are hard to come by.

that's how it starts.

making classmods requires a certain amount of trial and error. I recommend making everything in your backpack so if you make something that wouldn't exist in the game, it won't populate when you load. I think I made 20 tactician mods just to cover all my bases and get the one I wanted.

For gibbed you can find codes which will give you generally the best versions of each weapon. Just copy the code and hit paste code in your backpack or bank to get it.

http://fuckwithfire.net/bl2db/ has all the codes, make sure you are in the right DB when you search, so if you're looking for class mods you have to search in the class mods DB
