Anyone want one of the new shock dlc weapons as well (Twister, Yellow Jacket)? Farming has been kind to me. :3:
Also got the new seraph shotgun Interfacer (Electric Critical :getin:) if someone is interested in that.

Hey, if any psGoon out there needs lv. 50 shock weapons let me know. I've been building a decent collection for my mecromancer. That last patch for seraph items made the Tattler murderous (4440 x 3 shock damage smg :getin:)

Try getting one of the new Tattler (Bandit smg) at the Oasis vendor. A decent elemental one does 4440x3 dmg per shot. Also comes with a blade attachment.

Does Gwen's Head stop spawning after you find the first one in The Dust, or can you get multiples? The wiki seems torn about this, so I'm polling here.

You can get multiple. If you're farming them, go to Lychwood and exit into The Dust. The box sometimes spawns to the right of the stairs.

So while farming Hyperious is definitely faster, I can't help but feel that Pyro Pete just has a better drop rate. I got a hornet, doc's mercy, sledge's shotgun, 2 bonnies, a firebee, a gnasher, and an unkempt harold in the span of normally running out of eridium.

You can also do it solo if you have a 2nd controller. Just make sure your host character doesn't auto-save!
But, since you're gonna glitch anyways, why not do the shift code glitch for e-tech/purples?

shift code glitch?

You need a second controller and at least one key for the chest in Sanctuary. When your second character joins the game they will get an extra 10 keys for some mysterious reason. When you get to 1 key remaining just quit as the second character/controller and reload to repeat the process. Doesn't matter the level of the host since the loot level scales to the guy opening the chest. Enjoy farming relics/e-techs.

How does it help if the second character gets the keys? You can't trade them, can you?

The second character would be your highest leveled character. So if 1st player if your lv. 30-something char. (already in Sanctuary), and 2nd player is your lv. 50 char.; then your lv. 50 char. gets delicious keys to open that chest over and over again. You can do this over and over again as long as you don't spend the last key.

Thanks, but I'm on the 360. Also, did you notice that the 3 energy spheres drop teeny little spheres across their arc? All the Bandit e-Tech stuff that's not a pistol deviates a bit from the usual.

They drop the bonus orbs, but you really need to shoot it in a high arc to get more than 3 to show up. I wouldn't really use it for enemies in short/medium range since the extra orbs will just hit the ground.

Most the e-tech bandit weapons are lackluster. Homering darts never hit what you want, casters are only nice if you're a mechro since the bullets naturally ricochet, and BlASSter accuracy /damage is pretty low too.

You have totally missed the charm of Bandit e-Tech crap [Spending an entire minute trying to kill one Psycho and killing everything but said Psycho by way of stray ricocheting energy bursts].

You don't play a Gunzerker, do you? :colbert:

haha, yeah, I spent most (ALL) of my time playing with my mechromancer. My only concern is watching delicious blue numbers above enemies' heads and how not to gently caress up my anarchy stacks. You'd think I'd at least like the bandit caster, but why use it when there's a perfectly good Tattler in my inventory? (4440x3 per 1 shot :getin:)

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.

Maybe you're thinking of the Badaboom. It's a great rocket launcher since it uses only 1 ammo per shot and at least 6 ammo capacity.

The free event-gun (Chulainn) is awesome on a mechromancer and a black hole shield. You can use the gun's slag gimmick to quickly activate the nova/singularity effect from the black hole shield. But, on top of that you have "Blood Soaked Shields" to get your shield back up and set up another nova. :cool:

I'm up for any lvl 50 shenanigans. Still got a few legendaries I'd happily swap too. Xbox GT: Tony Val. Also, can anyone suggest a good Motion Tree spec for my Siren? Been running Cataclysm since starting and fancy a change.

try this: http://www.bl2skills.com/siren.html#055501455150050000000400000000

Use either a Legendary mod or Cat mod (smg +dmg/-acc). Legendary mod should reduce your phaselock CD immensely and Thoughtlock + Sub-Sequence should keep phaselock active long enough so you can get the full benefit of Wreck.

If you have a favorite smg go with the Cat mod for the increase to accelerate/mind's eye/wreck and a maximum of +94% smg dmg. It's a good idea to use a cool down rate relic.

My girlfriend and I have been playing this game on co-op splitscreen, and I haven't tried playing my character in single player or with anyone else online, etc - we wanted to experience the game together.

But I bought the season pass and went into Oasis when she wasn't around just to check that everything was working with the DLC. What I was wondering is, when we play together next, will she get to see the cut scene as well or not? How exactly does this work in co-op playthroughs?

I'm pretty sure quests only saves for the host. So, just make sure she's player 1 (host) when starting the dlc.

Seraph Weapons always seemed like they'd be amazingly powerful since they are hard to (legitimately) earn and require a lot of crystals per weapon, and since I've recently been able to farm raid bosses, I bought a few to see what they are like, and they are highly overrated.

I purchased the Shock Actualizer and the Shock Patriot from the Oasis Vendor, they are both indeed strong but they have horrific accuracy, and the Patriot is a sniper which is worse, my Shock Pimpernel, from the same DLC, is a hundred times more effective and that's a mere quest reward gun.

My main weapon is a Shock Sapping Kitten, and that has crazy poor accuracy at range yes, at close range, it has no equal though, and it heals you when you make a hit.

The only oasis seraph items worth getting are the Evolution and the Tattler.

Maybe an e-tech relic that increased elemental effect chance by a large amount (50%+). It would make some elemental-heavy builds a lot more fun.

What build did you run with? I'm still in the early stages (just beat Boom Bewm), and started with a BFF heavy build (up to Discord in OC and 5 Gorillas in LBT), but with the buff to slag I'm trying out a LBT heavy for Interspersed Outburst, with OC still up to Discord with the rest points going to go into BFF. It seems to be going a little bit better, but I'm still struggling a bit (doesn't help I didn't farm TVHM at all and have zero Legendaries).
Even at lvl 50, legendaries/uniques are very useful.

lvl 58:
5/5 Close Enough
5/5 Better Half
4/5 Pony, 1/1 Upshot, 5/5 Unstoppable Force
1/1 Clap
5/5 20% Cooler
1/1 Sharing is Caring

1/1 Anarchy, 4/4 SLF
1/5 Preshrunk, 1/1 Rampage, 4/5 BSS
5/5 Annoyed Android, 1/1 Discord, 4/5 Iconoclast
1/1 Rational
3/5 Nth Degree
1/1 With Claws

My primary weapon is the Chulainn since everything that hits me already put me in FFYL mode.
Shock Pimpernel for sniping, DP Harold for anything that resists chuliann, and last slot is any shock moxxi weapon.

I use the Blackhole Shield for crowd control (for DT too), and Quasar for even more singularity madness.

edit: Class mod is Speedy Punk for the increase to fire rate and +4 to Annoyed Android which is a great buff to DT (+63% movement speed :unsmigghh:)

Finally beat UVHM a few minutes ago. Sawtooth Cauldron to the end of the game was pretty much one giant stream of gently caress you and I think I died about 20 times on Hero's Pass alone. Granted, I was using level 50 gear all the way through for the most part but holy poo poo getting one shot by a constructor over and over again is just about the least fun thing I can think of. I ended up cheesing the Ultimate Badass Constructor 3.0 from extremely far away with a 120% crit burst sniper which whittled him down painfully slowly. I still have no idea how to kill these bastards efficiently on UVHM other than getting better gear in general. Even at ~56 I think sniper rifles are just terrible now. We'll see how this changes once I get a couple 61s but for now that sucks. I'm going to be sad if my favorite sniper, the Pimpernel, is useless on UHVM.

Got a 57 Impaler off The Warrior and other than the Slagga I got in the WEP earlier I didn't see a single other legendary or pearl the entire time.

You can also use weapons with hidden projectiles (DP Harold, Lead Storm, Sandhawk, pimpernel) and a bee shield to deal with them. That last constructor in hero's pass wasn't that bad if you run into that large container that it spawns next to and cheese it from there.

-----

The treasure room hasn't gotten me any desirable legendaries, but I did manage to get topenaas of every element so far! I really want the new pearl sniper (storm) for my mechromancer. I'm wondering how it will proc Interspersed Outburst with the explosion and tiny orbs of electricity it also spawns.

Doesn't Interspersed Outburst slag?

It's not a very reliable way to slag. At 5/5 skill points it has about 50% chance to slag 1 enemy you hit (if you left it to stack from 1 to 5). You can use a class mod to get up to 90%-100% (Slayer of Terramorphous and Technophile class mod), but you still have to wait for it to stack.

It also sucks if you play in close range since it only applies to one bullet, and you have to NOT shoot for it to re-stack.
