In your opinion, is it worth trying to slog through UVHM/OP8 Lynchwood to get a high level Fastball? My partner and I have avoided Lynchwood completely in UVHM and I'm not sure if we want to unlock the Sheriff in one long sitting if the upgraded Fastball is not gonna be worth the effort.

An OP8 Fastball now does around 23 million damage. Considering it's a guaranteed drop today, I don't see a reason not to.

Well, looks like tonight's gonna be an attempted speed run through UVHM Hammerlock DLC. I'd like to get that Twister on OP8 or thereabouts and I haven't touched Hammerlock's DLC outside of TVHM.

If anyone on 360 needs run up to Woundspike, I'll be starting around 5 PM (Eastern US). It shouldn't take four or five hours...right?

I just finished unlocking everything in the Poker Night 2 game. I downloaded and installed all the themes (I'm on PS3) but the Shift menu in BL2 doesn't show that I have any of the unlockable skins or heads. I've looked around and the only answer I've seen is "Keep re-downloading the themes and checking BL2 immediately after. Sometimes it takes multiple tries."

Is there any other better answer than this? I know some other people had this game back when it first came out but I don't remember if anyone found a better solution.

Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing that the bonus weekend is because they had technical difficulties at the start.

Maybe not. According to the BL2 wiki, kills with the KerBlaster count as grenade kills for challenge purposes. You can still get a not as terrible-looking skin if you haven't gotten 150 grenade kills yet, though.

The Skyrocket's actually pretty good indoors. Just that most of the game takes place outside or in areas with massive ceilings.

some ghoulish parody of humanity
Bordergoons, please enlighten me with your infinite wisdom!

Me and two friends are having a PS3 BorderLAN in a few weeks and we have a lvl50 Assassin (me), Siren and Commando lined up to do it with. Our intention is to do a DLC. I haven't touched either the Hammerlock or the Tiny Tina DLC. Which is more fun to LAN? I'm leaning more towards Tiny Tina because I love that character.
Also, would UVHM be a good idea for a LAN? The thing I understand is that in both modes all enemies level up to the highest person in the party, however TVHM apparently locks an area to a certain level as you enter and UVHM has mobs dynamically level as you're playing, right? And that UVHM mobs are tougher with more HP (in TVHM mobs are able to two-shot you as well, but have less health?) and drop much better loot incl. pearlescents? I'm not afraid to need to take cover, or use slag. I want it to be fun, I just don't want it to be a slogfest.

Then my final question: anyone have a good lvl50 Assassin class mod lying around? A legendary Killer or Hunter mod would be awesome, but if you have a good Spy, Shot or Professional that would be cool! I'm having a real hard time finding good ones for my Assassin.

The Tina DLC is way better than the Hammerlock one. What's your PSNID? I have a ton of stuff I can drop to you.
