Gaige is the best character.

This is the correct answer and if you don't farm up 600 stacks before venturing into Pandora then you're playing her wrong.

EDIT: Oh yeah if anyone has a purple Bullet Witch mod for Maya then I'll trade it for a level 50 legendary. I'm not that into her legendary and have an idea for a class setup I want to try out with her.

So I found a video of unused sound effects for a Torgue vending machine. Needless to say I hope they get added into the DLC because holy poo poo they own as much as their guns do

Random question - where are some good places to run a lot of quick chests? I feel like compulsively looting for a while.

Bugsy posted:

The Fridge has a pretty quick run with a normal green chest, a green dahl, and a red dahl on one side of the area. You just have to figure out which one of the 3 switches kills the power.

And a longer run with a lot more rats then ends at Rahkman. I cant remember how many chests are there total, but there should 2-3 more than the other area.

Or could just run the arid badlands for the 2 red chests which should take 5-6 minutes total along with killing Bonehead.

Arid Badlands was my choice for chest farming. One on top of the grenade store, one in Zed's after sniping the electrical fuse and one on the building by Saturn.

The Wildlife has a nice run too, especially if you have the Natural Selection Nexus. There's 2 vertical yellow chests and 1 big red chest, and another red chest if you head back to the docks with the big crane.

It was posted a few pages ago but here you go.

It's a bit finicky but once you get it you can do it all the time.

I found an easier spot to use as a reference point once you reach the hard part. I pretty much just recorded this so it's kind of messy, but I'll try to explain.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv9Fx7wQ62I

Once you reach the invisible walls, turn to your right and on the wall you can see four blocks in a diamond. On the upper most block, there's a line splitting the light and darker side of the block. Aim there, hold back and jump. Eventually you'll hit that sweet bounce jump (Around 1:48 in the video, you'll know it when you see it). Let go of the analog stick and keep jumping until you don't get any higher.

Like Marogareh said, it can be extremely fiddly. Sometimes I'll get it on my first jump, others it will take a few minutes. The rest is fairly straight forward though, just be careful not to clip into the wrong rock as you can get stuck.

In a few runs tonight I found a scoped Maggie, a WTF shield, a nice purple cooldown relic and a few purple class mods. Nothing else has popped out at me, but I'm sure a full party would mean better drops in there.

I've been farming Jimmy Jenkins for hours and at this point I would rather start a new Maya to get the 100 phaselock trophy and then join as my PT2 Zer0 later during the Doctors Orders quest. Would Zer0 get the badass challenge for killing Jimmy Jenkins or would Maya get it, since her playthrough will be hosting the game?

Maya would get it since all the challenges would be reset for a new character. Your best bet is to find a goon who hasn't finished Doctor's Quest and join their game with Maya, then hope he shows up.

I have four flavors of Conference Call; fire, shock, corrosion, and slag. Is there an explosion one? Would love to add a nice level 50 one to my arsenal.

Also, are there any Unending Infinities with ridiculous fire rates? Mine is 8.0, though a siren I was playing online with last week had one that seemed to be firing three times faster than mine. Never got to see the stats for it, nor am I familiar with the siren character skill trees/mods/relics.

[edit] Also, an idea for a relic, perhaps. Equipped, it gives your more backpack space. Un-equiping or dropping it when your backpack is full will cause random items to drop to reduce the backpack to normal capacity. Put it in your bank, it turns it into a twink bank. You know... so you can twink items between your characters. [/edit]

Probably won't be an explosive CC since it's not Torgue but holy poo poo. I knew fire and shock CC's exist, but I had no idea a slag CC does.

Anyone have any tips for PT2 crystalisks? I'm playing as Gaige and I ran out of ammo (mostly) critical hitting a crystalisk with a sniper rifle and only broke one leg. Deathtrap is useless against them. I don't think I've killed one on this playthrough, I just run past them. Nothing else gives me this kind of trouble.

My Extra Large Deliverance was a joy. It went:
"Alright! Legendary Tediore shotgun!"
"Haha, it flies! That's neat."
"It homes in on enemies! Holy poo poo!"
"IT HOMES IN ON ENEMIES AND FIRES AT THEM BEFORE KAMIKAZING! I AM IN LOVE!"

I think this is everyone's first experience with the deliverance. It's just fun to stand in front of a crowd of Rakk and let loose those flying shotguns.

As for crystalisks, try to get a bladed weapon since they can still one-shot the feet.

Unkempt Harold is no joke . The treasure glitch is pretty much the best place to get unspecific legendaries. I've gotten a legendary mechro mod, shredifier, maggie, gub, veruc, whisky tango foxtrot, bonus package, hornet, invader, volcano and unkempt harold.

Also, Hyperius is stupidly powerful. I respecced my Siren to be a healer in hopes that between sniping people at a distance and healing them with my phase lock I can maybe keep 3 people alive long enough to beat his stupid rear end.

Basically it's loving awesome loot without having to kill a boss or reset your system clock or whatever. All the skull lock chests (seven total counting the underground one) have guaranteed blue or better loot. Give that poo poo a whirl.

My haul from the DLC chest room:

A Maggie
An Invader
A Slagga
A Madhous (Really happy about that considering the legit drop is glitched)

No. Using the Evil Smasher glitch, the Bee, and a shotgun I've seen 2.5 million damage crit shots. It really is the best glitch. If you keep repeating the reload animation you sometimes get a buff with different multipliers, your damage/accuracy/firing rate can get a bit insane.

Evil Smasher glitch, Bee, Anarchy and the CC is the best. It makes me annoyed that Borderlands doesn't have blood effects, since that would just paint the level red.

It sounds like this patch takes the least fun part of the game, endgame grinding for gear, and makes it even less fun. Okay, I can live with that, because it will encourage me to move on to another game rather than slog through killing Doc Mercy another 200 times.

I understand it from a certain perspective. There's an entire game to play and if people are just going to use the win combo then what's the point in even farming legendaries? Plus with future DLC it means people might actually have to put effort into beating them instead of holding the right trigger with a Bee shield equipped.

All I need is to let my level 14 assassin follow you around a bit for some quick exp if you don't mind, trying to get him to 31 for the 10 second deception achievement and after playing a zerker since launch, I do not like this guy.

You can cheese that achievement by activating it and getting into the back seat of the bandit car and pressing A to switch seats over and over. Don't need a full tree at all, just level 5 to get the skill.

edit: that didn't work, it counts down the time normal and fades out. back to the grind for me.

My last achievement is all sidequests in the DLC, anyone want to do Hyperious and Master Gee?

It does work, it's just a little temperamental. I know because I did it with a level 5 Zer0. The best way I found to do it was to press A to switch seats just as it switches back to first person, so it doesn't have time to change. It's a little annoying, but 10 minutes of that is better than hours grinding to level 30.

So exactly how viable is straight melee Zer0 on a scale from doable to ahahahaha no? I really just want to pinball around with his execute + skill refresh, though that strategy obviously isn't quite as viable versus strong single enemies like bosses and super badasses.

As someone who tried this, it sucks. I think I got to Doc Mercy before giving up. I think a Gaige melee run might be better instead, since you'll have Deathtrap to back you up and she can be specced for melee pretty well.

4 player glitch? Are you just having 3 guests join and increase the drop rate?

Edit: if you are, I wonder if you could dupe the rare loot relic and have all 4 players equipping it

There's a glitch with the new Invincible bosses in the Scarlett DLC. If you even enter the arena (You don't even need to pay, just walk up to the gate and it should work), the game seems to think you have 4 players, even if you're solo. You'll know if it worked if you have full ammo and can hold X at an ammo crate to pick up more (The game prevents this in solo and just says FULL). So everything is scaled for 4 players, including theoretically loot drop rates.

I've been using it to try to farm Vermivorous lately and it's been working out, but here's still a bitch to spawn on his last form. But I'm wondering if it affects things like Terra and Warrior drops, the treasure room loot and any general bosses.

By the way, Terra is actually a challenge this way. I've died on him plenty of times this way even with the Bee/CC combo.

Edit: I don't think having multiple players affects treasure room loot, although I don't have much experience with multiple players in my session. I still turn on pub matches just in case anyone joins and I get lucky

Walk into either Hyperius' or Master Gee's gate. It should tell you you've entered their arena (For some reason it doesn't say it for Hyperius, but it still gives the same effect). Afterwards, fill up on ammo, then try to pick up more by holding X. If you can, then it's working.
