The Official Borderlands 2 Thread: We're coming for you Handsome Jack

Couldn't resist the call, huh, Wade?

By the way, what does everyone think of Gaige? Is she the only thing the DLC is going to give us, or will there be more?

She could be interesting, her ability is summoning d34th tr4p, right? Sorta like Axton but with different applications. And there'll be 4 DLC's in total, dunno if she'll count or not.

I hope not. I don't think it'd be right of Gearbox to charge full DLC price for another PC.

She'll be 5$, I think.

As for my guns, I'm rocking a Jakobs legendary, a purple sniper with slag, a blue torgue rocket launcher, and a purple slag SMG. The legendary is the striker I think, 154x7 damage with 130% crits. Only got a two shot magazine though.

Seems like we have the same builds.

I run a Guerilla Axton too though my secondary focus is on Shield Regen rather than Accuracy for my turret.

I also got some neat loot recently.

A Dahl Minigun, scoped, 36 round, burst fire when zoomed, and does about 156.

A Sweet Launcher, Torgue, 3620 damage.

A Valdof Repeater, 192 damage, auto

Thats about it. How far through the game would I be at LvL 23? Im going after the Slabs!

I'm at the slabs as well. Also, if anyone wants to co-op, hit up Philisophirapter on PSN.

Coolio though I cant get on for another few hours. Uni essays and all that to write.

I'm just going to throw this out there: can you guys keep your eyes open for a class mod for me? What I'm looking for is an Assassin Mod that gives bonuses to Melee Damage and the Followthrough skill, plus 1 or 2 other skills from the Bloodshed tree (pretty much any, other than Grim and Be Like Water, will be fine). If anyone finds that, I'll be happy to trade or buy it from you!

If anyone else wants something, I'll keep my eyes open.

Blaine will look for you, just picked up one with melee and skill boosts but may be too low lvl for your needs. I need to get back in the saddle, been slacking here lately.

I'm level 29, just starting to see mods with 3 skills bonuses on them. 2 skills would do, but 3 would be better! Right now I've got one with Melee +29%, Backstab +2, Resurgence +3. I see a lot of them with melee boosts, but it's getting one with followthrough that seems to be the tricky part--haven't seen one with that skill yet.

will look for one if i any B. i want a good smg(corrosive or reg would be better)

What do you look for in a good SMG? Minimum ammo/mag, accuracy, damage, element, etc? I'm sure I can get my hands on something! For example, if I pick up a pistol, I'll sell it without even looking at its stats if it has less than 90 accuracy.

^ That's an interesting question and part of the beauty of this game. The variety that exists even within a specific weapon type.

well smgs are realy good for cole quaters so i tend to look at damage, magazine and element fo the most part but accuracy is REALLY important for handguns like you said, i just cooped with viral and got a slag shotty with 242times10 damage, i didnt even look at the other stats and got rid of the one i was using lol, that thing is a beast specially since it has slag too.

That was fun....I need a mike....sorry about that.

But yeah just before that round I got a Dahl Assault rifle with 90 accuracy, a bayonet, and 273 damage.....pretty damn good

This game is just fun, which I really enjoy.

sorry for just taking it btw viral, i figured since you dropped one for me you werent into shotties. i can give you the one i was using before which is pretty close in damage output minus the slag. shotties are really fun to use, the weapons im using the most right now are explosive assault rifles, smgs and shotties.

DW man Im not into shotties. I love me a good Rifle or a Launcher... I also need that mike.... sharing loot is hard without it.

Ok, my best assault rifle is an explosive one which is a little slow but the damage is 603 which I like. I really want one with reg bullets since they're so much faster, still pissed that I can never get a decent smg.

Next time we play Ill have both for ya.... you like Miniguns or regular assault rilfes?

I pick up pretty good SMGs, but I'm not into them so I sell them all... I hope I get another good one for you! I can never get good ARs, though. And yeah, shotties are a lot of fun. I have an explosive one that deals ridiculous damage, and I like to just shoot people point-blank with it! It's great for taking out armored skags and their riders.

It's glorious when that happens.

im actually ok with my assault rifle(for now), btw i got a shield with 2300 but it decreases your vit by 600, let me know if you want it.

I have one that high with a 20% chance to absorb bullets. Also I have my bayonet AR now so ill be good until I ca get another Dahl.

I found a unique/orange shield with a Vlad the Impaler theme that is fairly unremarkable except for one thing: it does 360 acid spike damage to melee attackers, and moreover whenever anyone shoots you, an acid spike will fly off and home in on them and corrode them. It's incredibly useful not only if you are outnumbered, but for identifying targets behind cover since the homing spikes fly over obstacles and then cover the target with acid so you see where they are. Also got an amazing orange sniper rifle that has extra crit damage and fires like an assault rifle, so you can stack crit hits really fast even without zoom aiming. I recommend opening all boxes also, got the shield from a random box drop, and have gotten tons of iridium that way (the slot machines are also awesome for that, along with hitting all the vault symbols or marcus heads for great weapons).

My favorite char is Axton; the turrets are fun but he actually gets some great health regen mods / skills. By stacking life % bonuses and life regen from shields, artifacts, class mods, and skills, my guy has 2500 life at level 20, and regenerates health so fast the tens and ones digits are just a blur.
