I actually tried respeccing into the Fragmented Fragtrap (right) tree and the subroutines are hilarious. Fighting a bunch of dudes in close quarters? Welp, I just rolled over to getting damage/fire rate/reload speed bonuses with rocket launchers BOOM  And then if you go 12 points into the tree you can have the melee subroutine going giving you +450% damage  It's actually working pretty well paired with Maniacal Laughter and the left-tree skill that heals you (and does minor shield damage) on enemy kill. You just have to abuse VAULTHUNTER.EXE (that full heal and continuous health regen is nice). Claptrap may not be a powerhouse numerically but I am loving how loving randomly he plays. Wondering who I'll try next. I hear that the Jack Double plays sort of like Gaige (well, the Deathtrap part, not the Anarchy half)? Or I've always liked sniper rifles, maybe I'll try the baroness lady. Oh hey, I found a legendary just chilling out on a post somewhere, the Excalibastard? I couldn't loot it though, what's up with that?

You need a badass rank of at least 2500 to pull it from the stone.

If you pick it up in normal mode, you are locked out of getting it again on that character on TVHM and beyond.

Well, Not Jack has a kill skill that gives him a chance (up to 88% with the right class mod) to not consume ammo. He also has a capstone skill that will trigger kill skills if a Digi-Jack is destroyed which includes if you recall them. Pair those with the biggest, most badass and inaccurate Jacobs shotgun with as many crit bonuses as you can get and you can rapidly fire a wall of bullets that can cover much of your screen. Just quickly summon and recall your Digi-Jacks and never stop killing.  So almost as broken as Gaige.

They were advertising to hire for the team, but never actually confirmed starting work on the project I think. I guess it's quietly in very early phase.

I just got this gun and it is amazing: I figure my Claptrap is in  Also I got this grenade out of a vending machine, if I am reading this right this thing will be nuts:  Question: If you have multiple of the same/similar effect from different sources, do they 'stack'? Example, Claptrap has an ability that makes him innately emit a nova when his shield goes down; if you have that ability and are using a nova shield do you emit both novas? IIRC 'grenade damage' bonuses applied to all explosive damage in BL2; does that mean Claptraps one skill in the right tree that can give +45% grenade damage does the same thing? Does it apply to his various explosive-damage abilities in the left tree?

Yup, that grenade will seek, shatter and freeze opponents, plus restoring health. Pretty good deal! Yes, the effects should stack. Just poo poo out novas forever, why not? The grenade damage boosts probably applies to all explosive damage, since the BL2 and TPS engines are the same.

I don't want to ever stop using this gun. e: My biggest annoyance so far is the fact that some chests cost moonstones to open and you get no warning except for the tooltip which you can easily miss if you're in a hurry/mashing. I needed those moonstones to buy inventory space, damnit! The way the game will only spawn 4 or 5 dudes at a time is kind of noticable (I'm assuming an artifact of the game having to be able to run on consoles with limited memory?) but I'm bad enough at FPSes/aiming that I don't get bored or anything.

Moonstone chests have their own distinct design which stands out fairly well. Long low white chest with bluish markings.

Is it normal for this game to have a massive, raging hardon for throwing pistols at you every chance it gets? With the exception of about three chests, EVERY SINGLE CHEST and almost every weapon drop from an enemy has been pistols, pistols, pistols. This is after hours of playing, so it's seeming less and less like I'm just unlucky.

The final boss of Claptastic Voyage is pitifully bad. Shamefully, even. The DLC really just should not have even been put out with the boss left in such a lovely, bullet-spongey state.

It wouldn't be that bad if you could more reliably dodge the missile barrages. As is, I peck away at it shortly before running away and still only successfully find cover 3/5 times. I haven't gotten it down to less than a quarter of its armor yet. Inevitably, I eventually end up entering FFYL in an awkward spot or with no glitches nearby.

Just don't end up like me and run out of ammo during the fight, because then you have to scrounge around in those tiny cache boxes right in out in the open in the path of the sparks/lasers.

Try getting in his face. I found that if you're close enough to him, he won't use his missiles. Of course he can now stomp on you and still shoot you with his guns but if you can tank and heal the damage it beats taking a barrage if insta-kill missiles. Also if anyone in your party is far enough away, he'll use his missiles which can hit you even if you're close to him.

When it comes to his final form, the only winning move is not to play. No, seriously. He's that loving poorly designed. Do yourself a favor, and just stop. That, or don't come back until you've cheated yourself in a Flakker.

Just started playing this again after taking a break. I bought the Season Pass during a steam sale the other night. I just started a new Aurelia character, and I'm enjoying her; except, it sucks that her "I Never Miss" skill resets when I close out the game. I just got the skill yesterday played it up to 177. Logged back on today, reset to 0. drat it.

If they did then playing Gaige on BL2 would be even better since you'd never have to farm for Anarchy.

Spending what felt like close to a minute in Nisha's Showdown with a constantly recharging looping (the yellow, nonstop firing type) glitched weapon was one of the best Borderlands moments I've had. (I need to try this during the weapon calibration bit in the Felicity mission) Glitched weapons won't spawn outside Claptrap's mind right? This gave me a hankering for another TVHM run with glitch weapons. -- I beat Shadow after grinding two levels to be on par with his own, and finding a good corrosive pistol.

At least it felt much better.

The gently caress am I doing wrong  I'm level 56, my Aurelia is getting killed way, way too easily. I've got about 30k shields with a Pangolin shield, and about 20k HP? I'm solo, so I don't have any Master / Servant buffs available. Do I need to farm a good shield?

What you're doing wrong is letting anyone get close enough to kill you. Aurelia should be killing dudes from miles out. Find a really good Jakobs rifle with a decent crit% buff on it.

The problem with sniping in Borderlands is that a lot of levels just don't support it, moreso when you have bulletsponges leaping straight at you before butt-bombing in your face. Aurelia is better than most such characters but tends to be better in a party if she's specced for sniping.
