I'm at the final boss entrance on tvhm, but the game thinks I need to go trough that shield a bit earlier in the game. I've gone through that whole map three times now and it hasn't triggered it for me. I shoot the shield, run through and... nothing happens. Dying and shooting it again does nothing either. Got bored and ran to the end but eh, it didn't update the objective.


edit: Hahaha quality testing, this happens to everyone soloing tvhm.

Yeah, as far as I know that code doesn't apply to the Pre-sequel, just the season pass. I just got the game over at Gametap for like 52 bucks, can't decide if I want to get the Season Pass now or hope it goes on sale at Christmas.

Don't quote me on that, but I have rarely seen brand new games (less than 3 months old) on sale on steam. They usually don't drop price until a few months at least.

If I remember correctly, and please keep in mind I have the memory of a goldfish, Borderlands 2 did not have its first sale until at least 6 months after being out.

I personally bought the season pass. The DLC's in borderlands 2 were well worth their prices, and I am edging my bet that I will enjoy this game just as much.

Finally beat the game. I gotta say, the story kinda blew. I think they were going for Jack progressing from a likable guy into the sociopath you fight in Borderlands 2, but him starting off as a total douchebag kinda ruins the progression. Then again, at least its ending is miles above that of Borderlands 1.

Out of the two orange weapons I picked up in the course of the game, both were lasers, and both sucked compared to the other green and blue lasers I already had. Oh well. The real star of the show was my level 15 Hyperion electro-shotgun, which out-dpsed every other gun I found except for my x2 shot cryo SMG. Building up 200 stacks of maelstrom with the shotgun while constantly butt-slamming, then switching to the SMG let me kill the final boss while barely taking any damage.

Jack basically goes from okay but kind of douchy, to "one guy tried shooting me when I was letting him go and now I am so GODDAMN PARANOID", to one particular event causing his brain to go full evil.

It wasn't really well done. Still, the individual character beats were nice for Jack, except for Felicity's murder. The "sorry we have to do this" dialogue feels halfhearted and it was intercut with him awing over how awesome it'll be.

Best bug workaround ever? Nobody soloing or in a regular multiplayer group can get past the cannon on tvhm. What you need to do is play up to that point and have a friend join with his level 1 character who will then shoot the cannon and run through it.

I found a neat bug with the Nisha's pistol dual wield ability that lets you dual wield anything.
1. Have a full inventory
2. equip pistols
3. drop the weapon you want to dual wield on the ground
4. hold "e" to swap with your pistols

I can get this to work maybe 1/4 of the time and im not sure exactly what is triggering it. Switching weapons or anything that makes you lower the weapons cancels it. Zoning and getting in vehicles too.

I had a launcher with this, and one without, the rockets fired from the one with the put down time seemed to dip alot faster than the one without. Not sure if thats what its related to though.

It has the quick weapons switch accessory that some rockets also had in BL2. The time it takes to pull it out and put it away is reduced by 60%. Very helpful for when you enter FFYL and want to use a rocket launcher for a quick revive.

Hey guys, this may be old news, but you can farm the armory after Zarpadon.

Right after killing zarpadon, exit, continue, you'll be in the tunnels with the electricity field. Go through, go in the door on the right next to the shop terminals, enjoy your loot fiesta.

I really want to like Nisha's super, but it has this irritating tendency to jump to targets spastically, and relentlessly fixate on targets occluded by the environment.

The targeting is extremely glitchy and loves locking on to things you can't shoot or would never want to shoot. The bullet speed usually isn't good enough for anything moving more than 20 feet away or so. The really annoying one for me is that unless you're holding down the button (read: no Jakobs) or have incredibly steady hands while mashing it, your target is effectively random.

Maybe unlocking having two guns or the bullet ricochet skills will change everything but at the moment I'm just waiting for a new version of Gibbed so I can create an equally leveled Athena.

Surprisingly so, particularly if you go down his left tree. I'm getting lots of free heals on kills and just unlocked a tier 2 ability that makes all of his regular bullets sometimes EXPLODE when shooting enemies. His Action Skill is good for variety's sake and at worst will at least heal you to full every time you use it.

Looks like Athena doesn't have any health regen on her Maelstrom tree, so I guess if you were multi-treeing it'd be best to get it from her defensive left tree? I don't think it'd mesh well with the Xiphos bleed tree.

Athena would probably be pretty good since her action skill encourages getting right up in things faces to eat bullets. Wilhelm also has class mods that increase shotgun damage, but then you would have to be a non-laser Wilhelm and that's just straight up playing the game wrong.

I'm using the one with .ct on the end, not sure if there's any difference. Once you've got the table, follow this guy's instructions:


The changes don't take effect immediately so don't be disheartened if you don't notice anything right away. I'm getting purples out the rear end now.

I've been kinda struggling with this too, the table keeps throwing "invalid cheat table" and various lua errors, with or without the fix, I got it working for a bit then the game crashed and now the cheat table is all kinds of hosed.

At least the established solution still works: drive a car to the objective, drive a second car to the mission start, use the catch-a-ride to teleport yourself to the first car.

There's a lot of little things I like. Kraggons being asteroids monsters means they're not a reskin of skags, even if they are way more annoying to fight and resistant to heat weapons. I like the way containers in space will sometimes pop off their tops and the lid goes flying.

OMG! OMFG... I cannot believe, that I never used the teleport this way. I can't remember feeling this dumb before..

Seriously tho, the timed mission weren't so hard, which might explain why I never did use the teleport this way, but it doesn't change the fact that I never even thought about it.
Next playthrough is going to be so much easier

Fun bug that seems to pop up on the xbox version. Causes a lock up whenever you try to join someone elses game.

The game seems to have duplicated my Saint at some point on my Wilhelm run. Now every time I use my action skill he throws out two Saints and one Wolf. Is there a skill of his that I missed that causes him to push out two Saints instead of one upon using his action skill?

For reference, I'm only like level 12.
