If you are playing in a multiplayer game and kill the daily target, does it count for everybody playing in your party?

The loot contest website is not very well made. I'm combing through now to see what bounties and challenges are upcoming, but I'm certain today will be Flynt, who will drop the Dog (Challenge is Rakk)

A few more too, no dates but pretty sure about the bosses/bounties.

Donkey Mong, who will drop the Bane
Grendel, who will drop the Little Evie
Mad Mike, who will drop The Madhous
Wilhelm, who will drop the Fremington's Edge
DJ Tanner, who will drop the Tidal Wave
Sinkhole, who will drop the Gub

It was 5000, now changed to 100,000. Also Flynt didn't drop a Dog for me. He instead dropped a Thunderball Fists???





\/\/\/\/ Well, that's cool then. I think I tried killing him too soon. I booted the game up like within a minute of the website counter reaching zero so the game probably hadn't updated yet. Whatever, I'll blow him away again later tonight.

Today's bounty is Assassin Rouf at the end of Southpaw Steam & Power. He drops the Emperor, which now has a bigger magazine and does more damage. The community's gotta kill 1,000,000 GUN Loaders. This seems like the most doable of all of them so far.

Might be worth an excursion from farming enemies. Not sure if it'll be worth the $3 (but who am I kidding, I'll likely buy it anyway). Will be interesting to see how this is received in general.

This current challenge is panning out to be the easiest yet. Kill Wilhelm, pick up Fremington's Edge, shoot buzzards. Just farm Wilhelm for a corrosive version. Then enter The Dust from Three Horns and take out those first two buzzards that spawn as you round the first corner. They spawn real far away and fly straight at you, giving you plenty of time to line up criticals even with the wobbly super zoom on the Fremington. Then just save/quit and repeat. No other enemies involved and its a guaranteed two kills each time within a minute or two of loading.




Yeah, this thing is like halfway done and its only been two hours.

Frostburn Canyon. Switch to normal mode with your high level weapons, can get four kills in roughly three minutes by following path to Firehawk's Lair. (Two just past spiderants and two at entrance to Firehawk's Lair.)

Not sure if going into the area you help Lilith is worth it though. (Edit: it's not.)

So Midgemong's door won't even open for me. Kinda hard to kill him if he doesn't spawn. The only bounty I didn't complete was killing Knuckledragger, but I should still be able to get the Creamer because all the community goals were met right?

I might have you dupe that for me at some point, since killing Midge-Mong 3 times has only given me three Tinderboxes... unless I have to kill him in UVHM or whatever instead of TVHM (since I'm too lazy to do the quests again)

This is, sadly, more important to me than bettering myself.

Killed my way through the Bay at OP 8 to Midge-Mong approximately 10 times tonight, and the best Creamer I got was at OP 6. If this is what 'earning' the community challenge weapon events are going to be like, then fuuuuuuuck that noise.

It's pretty much a one shot kill against anything in the immediate vicinity of the blast. That said, it kind of breaks the game and makes things a little dull after a while.

Nothing that can't be Gibbed up, really. I ended up getting one after 9 loving tries, and the one I got is OP7.

After about day four of the loot hunt I just plain lost interest. There's so many people participating that I've got basically nil chance of winning any of the prizes and nothing sucks the fun out of the game like "open the game, kill a thing, quit the game, go back to watching cat videos on YouTube".

The new end of week prize is the loving Fastball, one of the shittiest legendary grenades. Graah, they're so stupid, first the easily obtainable Creamer, now this. At least the Gub is good, if you get the Dubble Gub.

Finally finished BL2 today! :toot:

...and then the game glitched out somehow, keeping me from seeing the ending, dumping me outside the Slaughterdome and refusing to let me leave until I reset the game. Which was a little odd. It did unlock NG+, so I'm not too disappointed, but still, kinda weird.

Is anyone else working through the DLC on 360? I've tried joining a few games, but everyone seems to be stuck on Tiny Tina right now. DT needs his levels and class mods before we tackle NG+, damnit!

Man, this game can be pretty hard when you're playing solo. Right now I'm trying to play through the Torgue DLC at level 36-37 in PT2 and my equipment is just not good enough. I die super fast to the robot enemies and I don't deal enough damage to beat the mission where you have to take out Flyboy's helicopters and steal his stuff within 5 minutes. Is there an easy way to get some dece equipment quickly? I haven't been to Sanctuary yet in this playthrough.

I kind of understand the Creamer, since it's only available for people who bought Creature Slaughter. The fact that it got no buff though is kind of amazing to me. Give it an extra rocket, more healing, a bigger mag. Something to make 7 days worth of work feel justified.

But the Fastball? Are they serious? They want people to kill about a million different enemies for a loving Fastball? Put some Pearl guns in there or something, or some of the higher valued legendaries like the Norfleet or CC. Give the average player a chance to get some of those top-tier weapons instead of the worst legendary grenade in the game.

Last week was weird with the guns they gave away in the first place. We got a Gub immediately after a Hornet. Both corrosive pistols, why? Not to mention the buffs they're giving guns flat out don't make sense. Bandit guns need anything BUT a bigger mag size. Give them accuracy or something.

I don't know if I'm going to get the Headhunter pack. It seems like Gearbox have no idea what they're doing with this game anymore.

This is one thing that always bugged me. It's basically balanced around someone having top-end purple/orange gear, which, if you're not duping, takes a really long time and is not feasable for your average player. Just playing solo and getting downed in 1 shot isn't fun.

Yeah, it can be pretty drat annoying at times. I ended up joining some random open lobby to get a few levels quickly and then used Shift codes to get some passable weaponry. Managed to beat the rest of the Torgue DLC without a lot of trouble after clearing that one big hurdle. Started on Sir Hammerlock now though, those Witch Doctors are insane. My rocket launcher (72 000 damage + explosive) is the only weapon I have that works against them, but every single one is a tough fight.

Witch Doctors are a massive pain the rear end even with the best gear. Thankfully, what the Norfleet can't wreck, the bee+sandhawk can. At least, I hope that's the case, I haven't hit Hammerlock since hitting OP8.

Well, I don't know if the bee amp damage was stacked during the evil smasher glitch, but it would be incredible regardless. You'd easily hit max damage with every bullet of many top tier guns. Right now I can hit max damage on the target dude with the bee/sandhawk using the merging glitch with the redundant fibber and/or grog nozzle. Before the ES glitch was taken out, I took a level 38 Mechro to Terramorphous and made short work of him, so at OP8 scaling you'd definitely be able to take out Hyperious or any other raid boss near instantaneously.

As far as I can recall there was no cap on the damage boost you could get out of the ES glitch, only the time you cared to put in standing in one place grinding buffs. It was pretty easy to get to the point that you could one-hit any non-boss enemy in the game; once I used a glitched electric Yellowjacket to kill Voracidus in a matter of seconds.
