Borderlands 2

The voice work is fun in this game. I was playing while the fiancee was on her laptop and she gave me a look every time Axton talked to his turret.

The Mechromancer is hilarious as well, particularly as you increase in Anarchy stacks.

"You get a bullet! And you get a bullet! EVERYONE GETS A BULLET!"

"You guys meet the missus?"

Yah, Axton's voice work is pretty awesome.  The voice work in the Tiny Tina DLC is awesome.   

stand around as axton when you have jack's voice

I managed to get Zer0 to 51 before I gave up in UVHM.

I'm now pretty much strolling through TVHM with Axton, and enjoying it a lot more.  Turrets are way OP.

[apocrypha]

I just wanna second what was said earlier about how awesome the grenades from the Tiny Tina DLC are. My mechromancer is at the start of TVHM now and I have an orange Fire Storm one and a blue Lightning Bolt and they are probably my biggest damage dealers.

Of course I often do quite a lot of damage to *myself* with them too...

In the first one, all of the recordings were available in the menu but I don't find them in the sequel.  So I can't replay Axton's hilarious storyline from Lynchwood.

[Rasix]

Beat Tiny Tina's DLC.  That was rather well done, even if the last fight was a bit easy.

The orange weapon I got is just awful, however. It's less effective than my orange 9 levels below it.  It's some sort of shotgun flak cannon, but the projectiles only make contact and explode a set distance from you, so it's hard enough to just make contact with the enemy.  If the stars align, it's got good damage, but it's just too hard to use.

The orange fireball grenade, however, is rad.   My other weapons are just starting to lag way behind.

[Azazel]

This site has those codes, as well as many others for Golden Keys that still work.

Thanks for that - I hadn't seen that page before.


Do the missions in the DLC scale with you as you level, or do they stay at whatever level range you were in the first time you got there?

I've just got my PC character to 17 and got up to the last part of rescuing Roland, but since my only good gun is a sniper rifle, with a decent shotgun and rocket launcher, I keep geting my arse handed to me. I need to find a decent assault rifle, smg or mg from somewhere, and I'm wondering if the DLC might be the place to look. Since the story mission is 13, that's the best I can get out of the vending machines.

Actually, do the golden key weapons scale by your own level, or the level of the current quest?>

[Miasma]

Golden keys give items of your current level.  DLC missions scale with you until about level 35 and then don't scale up anymore unless you turn on the vault hunter modes.  If you're playing on the pc there was a golden key cheat a few pages back where you can open the chest but keep your keys.

[Rendakor]

The DLC missions scale but not a whole lot, and they're all minimum level 30 which doesn't help you much at 19.

[Goldenmean]

Only two of them are min level 30. Tiny Tina and the Hammerlock DLC are both 30. Pirate and Torgue can both be started at 15 IIRC. Honestly, I assume this is for storyline reasons more than anything else, as the former actually relate to events that occur in the main storyline, whereas the other two are stand alone stories.

[Yegolev]

Yeah, don't play Dragon Keep until you complete the main story once.

[Azazel]

Hey - a bit of a shot in the dark here, but does anyone playing on 360 have a legendary class mod (any class) to spare? I can dupe any items easily so that works as well.

[Yegolev]

I have a couple, maybe, from a Terra run I did a while back.  I probably need to go back and pay him a visit.

[Azazel]

That would be awesome if they were ...available for a short time. My wife and I are playing LAN with 2 friends and we each run one of the original four, and she and I have Mechro alts, so any/all classes are good. :)

[Yegolev]

Schedule is awful, I'm out of town this weekend, but we can get together if you're casual about scheduling.

[Azazel]

Nowt a problem. Just send me a PM with a rough time if you're likely to know in advance (I'm GMT+10) but I'm on the console more than usual this week only due to work vacation time.

[Fabricated]

After a week of on and off farming the wizards in Tiny Tina's DLC the floodgates seemingly opened and they started dropping piles of the unique grenade mods.

I have like 6 Fire Storms and a few Chain Lightnings now. I kinda want a missile storm but it looks like that's a bit harder to find?

[Ginaz]

This is on sale on Steam now for about $10.  I'm kinda pissed none of the dlc is on sale as I've gotten back into BL2 and wanted to buy a few of them.

[Jimbo]

Almost got the Steam sale, till I saw that Borderlands 2 Game of the Year will come out on 8 Oct 2013, ( http://www.gamespot.com/news/borderlands-2-game-of-the-year-edition-confirmed-6413772 ). I'm hoping they have a sale for it before it comes out. I agree we also need a dlc that has everything, like if you have the basic game, then buy this dlc and everything is on it.

The game of the year is supposed to have almost everything but some loot and cosmetic items.

[Azazel]

The GOTY won't have the newest (upcoming) DLC on it, nor will it apparently have the Ultimate Vault Hunter Level 2 stuff, either.

[Azazel]

A bit of a necropost, but I'm wondering if anyone else has picked up any legendary class mods for 360? Or if Yegolev has picked up any more over the two you passed me awhile back. 

[KallDrexx]

After 50 hours (according to steam) I finally beat the final boss and most of the sidequests.  I gave up on the last level of that arena quest, and that quest that has you searching for old haven treasure with those god awful annoying 3 legged gold monsters that give crap xp and loot but are annoying to kill.

Now to decide if I want to take on the DLC solo, or go through another playthrough on TVHM to get max level so I can do it with friends.  I think I need a break before I do another run thruogh though.

[Jimbo]

I bought the Game Of The Year version when it was on the Steam sale (also got Skyrim and all the dlc for it too on the sale), and have been playing the heck out of it. I'm going to spring for the other dlc's eventually too. I'm still doing the story, I usually play the game threw to read and explore stuff, then do co-op later on.

Omg, there is so much stuff to collect and find and unlock. I never new about the vault symbols when I first played this on xbox, or that finding all the recordings in an area give badass points, or that there are secret crazy loot areas in almost all the zones, even in the beginning. Plus gearcodes to get golden keys.

We have been doing various DLC adventures and bashing our faces into UVH mode instead of Terramorphus, so no.  UVH is something that I cannot handle solo.

I remember I need to grab that latest Headhunter one... in spite of the Wattle Gobbler experience.

those god awful annoying 3 legged gold monsters that give crap xp and loot but are annoying to kill.

Must crit a crystalisk to damage it.  Fortunately that isn't hard.  Shotgun at close range or melee the leg crystals, if you are having trouble.  Also don't rely on elemental damage against them.  Deathtrap doesn't know how to hurt them, if you're relying on that.

The one I remember is under the elevator leading to Boom and Bewm.  There is indeed a shit-ton of content for this game.  I still haven't done everything.

If you only get one DLC, get Tiny Tina's.

Yeah I got that, shoot the legs.  Maybe a shotgun is what's needed (though the one I was using was fire so that wouldn't work for it) but critting the legs with an assault rifle or a pistol took too long (then again I generally feel like my weapons are underpowered, though I'm not getting much better weapons.

Will a 2nd playthrough get me to 72?  My friend is max level and I want to DLC it with him, but I'm considering just hacking my character so I don't have to play through 50+ more hours just so I can play with him.

[proudft]

We're halfway through the second playthrough and level 45.   Third playthrough allegedly starts at level 50.

Despite the enemies being tougher, the second time seems to be going faster.  We're still a little overleveled for the main story line so we're skipping most of the side quests, though.  But knowing where to go, having more talent points or whatever the hell they're called, etc, speeds it up considerably.

[Phildo]

It takes something like three punches to kill the crystal guys.

E: Or was it three per leg?

[Soulflame]

One melee hit per leg.  Circle strafe, hit melee attack.

[Yegolev]

If guns fail, punch.

I'm working on UVH mode with a lv54.  You'll be doing good to hit 50 in TVH.

[murdoc]

If you only get one DLC, get Tiny Tina's.

TRUTH

[Mortriden]

UVH is going to be pretty hard if you are only lvl 50.  Unlike any of the others all the enemies will scale to the highest level of the character in the party.  So you are never overleveled to any area.  I've got some pretty epic gear for my Gunzerker and I still struggle with solo UVHM at 72.  Doubled up with a buddy who's got a phaselock spec'd Siren, we ruin most everything. 

[Jimbo]

Big Christmas Sale! This and all the dlc's are like 50% off. I went ahead and got all the other dlc's not included with Game of the Year, and picked up the original Borderlands Game of the Year (it was like $8 for it). Tons of other games on sale. Works out great for my son and I, we both have January birth days, so we are giving Steam games as gifts :)

[Miasma]

So are they still going to let us blow up that big H in the sky or have they abandoned all Borderlands 2 development to work on 3?

[KallDrexx]

One melee hit per leg.  Circle strafe, hit melee attack.

Guess I just never thought to give punching a try.

[Soulflame]

Even with melee, they're still damn annoying.  Especially since closing to melee tends to spawn one or two more of the damn things.
