I hardly ever use keys when I play with a sensible loot table. It completely removes the need for it since you find decent loot while you play.

So what are the good points of Claptrap? He looks pretty bad. It doesn't help that some of his VaultHunter.ExE action packages are borderline suicidal either.

Playing in a group with a claptrap is reeally funny. Can't really comment on actually playing him but it's pretty hilarious to have one in your party. A lot of his stuff is kinda iffy solo though.

So now that it's been out for a while, what is the overall opinion of the quality of the pre-sequel? I bought it thinking oh boy, more Borderlands, how could I go wrong? In reality, I thought it was really bad. All the guns feel like garbage, I could never seem to find a gun that just shoots where you'd expect it to when hip firing. Reloading was always too long. Melee animation felt super weak and lame. Skill trees were bad. Overall character choices were uninteresting and characters had no personality except for Claptrap, and I don't want to play as a 3 foot tall robot. Am I just being too hard on it?

Guns are basically the same as in BL2, skill trees are mostly better, level design sucks, not nearly enough enemies and a really weak story. It's a good game but there are some major setbacks although most of the additions are great such as the slams and grinder. Most of the problems stem from being made for 8 or so year old hardware so I'm pretty hopeful for the inevitable current gen iteration of the series since they seem to be learning from their mistakes.

The explosion tree is pretty strong. The middle tree makes you super tanky and good with a team. The left tree is more random and dependent on luck. Claptrap and Wilhelm don't get as much love because they aren't as broken as the other 2 vault hunters.

Pre-Sequel is 33% off on GMG right now. Think it'll go lower in the Steam sale? It's only 20% at the moment.

He's not broken in that there's not a good skill set that makes you annihilate through everything, but using his middle tree and a little from the left tree and the health/Shield skill from the right tree you can make him nearly unkillable.

Possibly, but I'd wait for the Winter Sale. I'm also amused that the sale for the PC version at Amazon is for the physical copy and not the downloadable one.

Yeah, there's not much point in having separate threads since for the previous game the console thread lost traction and died off pretty quickly.

Yeah, it heard Scooter's poem and killed itself. On a more interesting note, I have found a fun new glitch (at least on PS3). All my guns, no matter the make or type, shoot and use up lots of bullets every trigger pull. Only things that aren't affected seem to be the Jakobs revolvers, shotguns, and ARs. A full magazine in my Torgue shotgun (which consumes for bullets per shot) is expended every time I shoot, it's multiplying the number of bullets spent by 3 or 4. I have a Hyperion sniper rifle that spits out 8 rounds per trigger pull. It's a neat glitch, but godDAMN do I run out of ammo fast. Closing and restarting the game, and cold booting the PS3 don't help.

Are you playing as Clappy? One of his action packages does that. Maybe it bugged out and made the effect permanent.

Ah, good to see the game still has bugs from BL2, namely I entered a shitload of Shift codes (for like 62 keys) and it says I have ten, and I had 40+ moonstones and now I have 10. Great work. There's a shift code vending machine or something? So I go to that and it says I'm not signed into shift, which when I go to the main menu, it shows I am.

Or can you only see 10 keys in the shift machine (when you go to redeem them on a specific character)? Because when you scroll through the key icons on the shift machine, it only seems to display about ten or so, regardless of how many you actually have. I actually don't even know why they gave you the ability to scroll through your keys before redeeming them, as if you would want to select a very specific key from an inventory of identical keys.

The Telltale Borderlands game is quite good and I'm so far enjoying it way more then I did the pre-sequel I really expected it to be quite awful but it shows you can do entertaining writing in the Borderlands universe.

My claptrap went from "meh" to "holy crap" in a hurry last night thanks to the left skill tree. I've got a class mod that gives +2 to KillBot and +3 to Start With A Bang, plus a pretty good flame-spike shield. Combined with my Luneshine freeze pistol and corrosive Oz kit, I'm a merry, wheeling, bouncing cyclone of elemental damage by barely firing any shots. It's gonna be great when I get Hyperion Punch to complement Coincidental Combustion.

I have Start Start With A Bang buffed up to 8 and timing it with a but slam crushes everything. The One Last Thing skill is a carry over from my favorite Salvador skill, Money Shot. It's fun to play Claptrap very agressivley trying to stay close to the bad guys so they get hit with all of your novas. I end up dying pretty often but half the time it's in the middle of a nova so I instantly bounce right out of FFYL.

The cheat engine website, despite appearances, is 100% legit. It's probably the only case on the entire internet where the big green download button with misaligned bold font is the one you want to click. edit: The installer might have those dumb "click YES to download this AMAAAZING TOOLBAR" click spammer traps though, I remember an older version did, so be sure to read through all the screens after the TOS one.

You can also download a toolbar-less archive that comes without an installer (IIRC, but that was never a problem for me) from the same download page.
