I'm trying to remember if I've ever found a Bandit weapon I liked. Never seen a level 50 gold of theirs. I think I had a really awesome rocket launcher once from them at an earlier level.

Okay, I'm going to get on for a couple hours and farm BNK-3R because I can't get the unreality head to drop. More than 60 kills and still no head. It's honestly a little boring since I use the Bee and the Conference call and can sometimes down him in less than a minute, but most of the time there is a good purple or two.

Send me an invite and I'll join your game. Xbox user name is Lydi Rae. Up for killing things like Leviathan or Verminiverous or Terramorphous but not interested in freaking lovely seraph guardians.

I don't use a headset. You can try telling me what to do but all I can guarantee is that I won't grab for all the loot. I have to play this game almost on mute because I'm hiding from some germans in an attic.

Wish I could have stuck around longer, but Mechwarrior (whose friendslist is full) got me to 41 and now I gotta go find more loot. You gave me the knight's helmet for Axton and a bunch of other hilarious guns I haven't even sorted through.

And I got my headset working, which is probably what woke my kid up, but oh well. Sucks being west coast, because east coast players need sleep. I'm also startled at how easy the wildlife exploitation annex was. Maybe Verminiverous tonight. Getting him to spawn is the hard part, but I like using the Tundra Express Farmhouse as a spawn point.

What I need is someone to let me dupe 3 sets of them. one for that person, one for me so I can unlock all of the heads I carry around and haven't used, and another get them all on one character so I can dupe them easily in the future.

Does anyone have the whiteout assassin skin?

I JUST picked up Whiteout last night, and I'm a few hundred kneeling asault rifle kills from the Dahl skin that comes from that. Let me get that finished and I'll dupe both for you, presuming you haven't gotten that pointless achievement.

Anybody still want to finish the "I Like My Monsters Rare" challenge from Sir Hammerlock's DLC? Gotta find those Pink Boroks... I wouldn't care, but the skin for the assassin is a goddamn zebra. Only gotten a Pink Borok to spawn with three people in multiplayer. Anybody on pacific time? No?

I had good luck finding pink boroks by going up the elevator to the north part of Hunter's Grotto (like you're going to kill Bulstoss). Sometimes they are around Bulstoss' area as well. I had no problems completing the challenge solo, other than finding one last slag spore (coincidentally in that same area).

Also I'd love that Dahl skin for Zero if it isn't too much trouble. Won't be able to get on for another couple of days but I can hook you up with the Dahl skin for Sal when I complete it, I'm like 500 kills away. Doing it on another character would drive me insane, I think.

Neo Helbeast (Mechwarrior) has the Dahl Predator and Whiteout I duped for Zero. I also got the skin from Sir Hammerlock's last night, could dupe it for anyone who wants to look like a zebra.

This is probably a question for the google, but I wanted to ask here in case anyone could dupe it. Watching that video of the guy farming the ohm ohm uhm thing got me wondering- are there any explosive SMGs? I've never seen one. I know Torgue doesn't make them but I thought Bandit might.

It also has me contemplating playing a Siren, which would probably be days of power-leveling, but it looks pretty cool and I've done everything with Zero.

Well, I got the brilliant idea of having my buddy log in with the silver account as the host, joined his game and went back through the Torgue DLC. Since he hasn't done any actual missions, everything was at lvl30 (sadly, including guns), but I was one-shot gibbing drat near everything! Badasses, Super Badasses, even Pyro Pete! It was the most unbelievable fun ever.

Dude, this is the perfect time to work on the achievements that give you skins, like one-shotting through shields, direct rocket launcher hits, quickdraws with pistols, or the mind-boggling 3200 kills with an assault rifle while kneeling. So much easier in the first playthrough.

Wait, what? This is a thing? I hope you at least get a badass skin out of it.

It's the only way to get a Dahl Predator skin, unless someone is so kind as to dupe you theirs. It takes forever, but you can get 400 at a time by farming Bloodshot Stronghold or a hundred at Southpaw Steam and Power. Bloodshot Cauldron is good too.

All true. Don't forget point blank shotgun blasts and rocket launcher splash damage.

And, I'll help PL a Siren for you. They're kinda fun at 50. I have a rocket build with a hell witch mod so I phaselock a thing, fire a bunch of rockets at it, and the rockets ricochet all over the place creating doom and gloom.

Okay, maybe we can do that tonight. I'll make her when I get home from work.

Story missions are a great way to level. After you left, we moved to TVHM in my game and after killing Jack ended up at 23, I think. So 1 to 23 from what, Data Mining to the end?

We went from Data mining to the end, yep, and I went from level 1 to 24. I got my Siren to Sanctuary in story mode after we quit, which was insanely easy and a lot quicker because I skipped all the side quests. She's now level 25 after helping Scooter with his failed plan to make the city fly.

I was really surprised that her phaselock ability was working on level 50 constructors and skags. I think I was only level 19 when I finally got a skag off the ground for Wendigo's turret. It was good times.
And then after we killed Jack I got a bunch of loot, and have a ton of low-level gold and purple weapons, shields, and grenade mods.

Last night was the first time I've been in a game with four players and holy poo poo that gets crazy. We were in my lvl50 TVHM game session when a lvl3 Siren joined, and skyrocketed to lvl15 in under 10 minutes. She even leveled up from dying, it was the fastest I've seen anyone boost, so it will be my new strategy when I work through other characters. Definitely gonna try to get more of those games going, that was a lot of fun!

Is it worth my time to find a cheap copy of Borderlands 1 if I can get the DLC? Any major differences that may sway my decision?

Get Borderlands 1. Just do it.
Download General Knox and Dr. Ned, skip Moxxi's Underdome unless you REALLY want a bank, which you do.
General Knox was the best expansion ever, and I can only hope that someday they bring Athena back. You'll be fighting the Lance for most of this, before they form the Crimson Raiders.

Oh no, now comes the dilemma: Play Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode at level 50 and actually get to use all my oranges and play the main story at a predictable, balanced difficulty, OR play it with the cap raise, getting more skill points but jumping back on the gear-treadmill and making all my oranges obsolete??? Oh, and I guess, a .000000005% chance of getting a Pearlescent weapon if I get the cap raise. Agggh, it's a painful choice.

I've just got my siren to 50 and am debating this too. Though I think I'll just level my commando, or do the DLC before the cap raise. I don't mind things becoming obsolete, I know just about everyone on here will dupe the crazy rear end poo poo that they get.

So I did the Pirate Booty DLC in less than two hours last night with my power-leveled Siren. The enemies were all around level 30 and I'm 50. I was gibbing things like crazy, which was sort of unsportsmanlike but still fun, and I was struck by a weird thought. That DLC has a LOT of walking. Maybe it was the Rustyards quests but I just can't get into it anymore.

Guess I can skip it on the second playthrough. I've already got the head I wanted.

The only worthwhile weapons I've gotten are a 52 electric Topaneaa and a 53 Thre Dog (which I can't use yet :argh:). Just cleared the Firehawk quest, so I guess I could try farming Scorch for a Hellfire and see how that goes.

I think UVHM is basically balanced for Legendary/Purple gear.

KEEP YOUR SLAG DARTS. I use Zero, and your approach may be different, but you have about two seconds before the darts go off, so use it! I toss in a grenade (Breath of Terramorphous) and dart the target about eight times, swap to the Sunny Blockhead (with bee shield) and that poo poo ALL hits at once.

I've beaten Poker Night 2 (thank you Omaha) and the heads and skins are associated with the table unlocks. You can get your heads and skin by using tokens to buy new decks, chips, and table felt.. You will only get the Max head by deploying all of the Sam & Max 25th Anniversary items.
