When do you unlock the 3rd and 4th weapon slots? Juggling weapons right now is a fucking pain in the ass.

You get the third one pretty soon (2 hours at most?), no clue on the forth.

You are close to the 3rd one. I believe that one came after the catch a ride quest.
The 4th one I don't know, I was asking that myself earlier

I think the fourth one opened up around level 22 or 23. I don't know exactly when it happened, I just know I was swapping weapons one time and suddenly noticed it was unlocked.

Does Steam provide a PDF of the manual for the game? Can't seem to find one.

Noob question: does the Hunter's pistol double shot ability work with any pistol/revolver type? I can never tell when it's triggered.

I haven't tried with Borderlands yet, but noramlly in the "My Games" tab of the Steam client, right click the game you want a manual for and there should be an option for user manual (or some other wording meaning user manual).

Hmm, multiplayer question:
When in combat, if someone opens up the inventory to use a healing potion or switch weapons, does it pause the game for the person with the window open, everyone, or no one? Opening the inventory window pauses the game in combat. Also, same question for phase walk as that stops all mobs when phase walking.

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but there's a bug in multiplayer that could really fuck up your character:Despite all the positive buzz surrounding the game, Borderlands is in danger of becoming yet another great game whose launch is tainted by broken online play. A few unlucky players (on all three platforms) have encountered a game-crippling bug that strips them of their characters' progress when playing multiplayer.
Multiple threads on the official Gearbox forums point out that skill points and weapon proficiencies are sometimes reset to zero when players join or leave a match. And while the proficiencies should theoretically be recoverable over time, the skill points are apparently lost permanently -- forever erasing characters' action skills and any advanced abilities they've acquired.
The bug is currently listed in Gearbox' known issues thread, and a Gearbox employee responded to one of the numerous tech support threads with the following:
"Your report has been heard and we're working on it. Unfortunately there isn't a fix just yet, but when one is available we hope to be able to repair as much of your character data as possible."
We'll be keeping an eye out for any forthcoming patch announcements for Borderlands. Until then, play online at your own risk.

Luckily I won't have to worry about it since I can't join or host a fucking multiplayer game. I am seriously considering getting a refund at this point. What a fucking clusterfuck.

I'm keeping my single-player game separate from any attempts at multiplayer. Not only does it let me stay 'in sync' with other multiplayer people while still being able to play alone, but if something fucks up and ruins the character, at least it won't be my solo game that's ruined.

I encountered a bug with the scavanged assault rifle quest where the scope piece wasn;t showing up where the marker was... turns out it was bugged into the wall of the nearby shack?
I can't stop playing this game

None of the people in my 4pack can join a online game. It just times out.

Had some luck hosting a MP game this afternoon on about the 10000000th try. I invited Furiously from the main menu (before entering the game), and he was able to join then. Hoax joined later as we were playing, so I don't know if the menu helped or it was just coincidence. Something to try at least.

I'll definately agree the level 20 zone is a lot more fun. I'm looking foward to two guns I have that are level 22.

Just so you pc folks don't too feel alone in the "how the hell did they release with THIS issue..."
When playing local split screen on the Xbox with my son, the inventory and character windows dont resize themselves to fit the split screen. You actually have to use your thumbstick to scroll left and right which almost makes the inventory comparison impossible. Ridiculous. Not as bad as the multi-player problems, but sitll...
Still a ton of fun though. Got a sweet triple rocket launcher i need 1 more level to start using at level 19. I need to jot down the stats for Sledge's shotgun we picked up. It's something crazy like accuracy of 0 but spread of 10000! Wish i could take a screenshot on the xbox to post in the other thread

As far as I've seen, those scavenger quest markers just point to the general area and all the pieces are hidden around the indicated landmark. And the last piece is always in a weird spot. Always.

Second night was hella fun. Still solo. Accepted a bunch of friend invites but nobody seemed to be on. Two things that really tipped the scales in my favor was an awesome sniper rifle and a buffed turrent I finally started remembering to use. I feel like I hit 7, 8 and 9 before I even blinked. Then I got the car and lost another hour just driving around and blowing shit up. Loving this! UI still is the low point, but it doesn't feel as RPG-ey as it did the first night. Plus I played around with the Siren a bit and it didn't take too long to see how its different. Someone say that Phasewalking isn't working? I'm loathe to have two characters because I hate going through the exact same content on multiple characters at the same time. If they DLC'd a new starting area tomorrow, I'd probably cave and get it

The bug you're likely thinking about is with the final talent in the Assassin tree, Phase Strike, not granting its bonus melee damage.

Fuck it's 12:30. I kept meaning to pop out to look for MP but I kept forgetting. Killed Sledge, fucking shotgun owns. Lilith owns. Phaswalking, with a few talent points, allows me to heal up a shit load. With the first class artifact. AOE! Here's what I'm shooting for, build wise: http://downloads.2kgames.com/borderlands/website/skilltree/lilith/#21505050055050005005050Popping in and out of phase. Only thing I will miss is the shield regen ability. I'm thinking Hard to Get points to Girl Power if Blackout is decent. I love this game, but I need more badass shotguns. Faster reload, faster shots.

I'm enjoying the solo game a lot. My style is to go slow and investigate every nook and cranny so I'd probably be annoying in a group, at least for this first play through. My only qualms would be (aside from the crappy UI) the lack of variety in mobs and environments. But, I'm only level 10 so that could change I suppose.

Game seems really fun... for 40 seconds - and then it locks up for 10. And then it's fun for another 40 seconds... and it locks up for ten.
Based on the tech forums, I'm not the only person lucky enough to have this issue, so I'll give them a little time to address it before I go off on the typical rant about buggy games.

Noob question: does the Hunter's pistol double shot ability work with any pistol/revolver type? I can never tell when it's triggered.
It does, but the thing is, the gun doesn't play the animation twice. What actually happens is that two bullets come out of the barrel at once, with one shot, so you'll see two bullet impact spots on the wall, if you're shooting a wall to test it.

So I added everyone in the friends list thread and got invited to my first two multiplayer games just now. The first one timed out, the second one crashed me to desktop. I'm trying to decide whether I want to fire up the game again and see if third time's the charm.
