Scrolling through those pictures is a debt you owe to humanity.

I'm with Pezzle on this. Also, the last two pics

I will never have a costume even one tenth that amazing.

The Gangnam Style pose was win.

Haha superb    Love the last 2 pics.

The Zer0 melee law+order build is fucking beastly

I've been playing this for a bit, just got to level 32 with it, really fun build. Couple of fights are essentially impossible though - BNK-3R and Dukino's Mom are the ones I've been unable to do so far. If you do decide to level a Law & Order melee Zer0 then I recommend keep a set of gear (relic, class mod, good sniper rifles) so you can respec for melee-unfriendly fights.

[Rendakor]

Those fights were pretty impossible for me as a sniper-specced Zer0 too, to the point that I needed to get lucky/glitchy to win.

[TheWalrus]

Dukinos mom can fuck right off.

Bunker wasn't too bad, I just kept moving. Only time I got fucked was when I didn't see the explosive loaders creep up to me.

You stilll need good guns for the melee spec, and not necessarily sniper rifles.  My standard weapon loadout was law, good smg (if elemental, you need an acid too, or an explosive.  Electricity is pretty worthless 90% of the time, and fire can be meh for enemies with shields.), rocket launcher for quick second winds, and either a sniper rifle or shotgun.  Once you start getting legendary weapons, you'll probably ditch the SMG.  There's a pistol that fires ~8 or so explosive rounds that fan out that is just fucking devastating.  On bosses like bnk3r, bloodwing, etc where you can't melee the boss to heal, they're constantly throwing fodder at you to melee down and heal up.
The other specs just feel really shitty.  The sniper rifle crit build looks awesome on paper, but the stacks disappear waaay too fast, even with a slow rifle.  The kunai special power?  Wtf is this shit?
I tried out one of the "extremely overpowered" zer0 builds w/ Infinity and tons of damage bonuses, but it still feels completely underwhelming compared to melee.

Finally, the melee build is easily 5-10x more powerful in multiplayer than singleplayer.  When everything is focusing their fire on you, all it takes is 1 fucker to run backwards for a second and you're toast.  With another player around to draw their fire, you're able to move a lot more freely and just obliterate everything.

[TheWalrus]

Ha! Beat Dukinos mommy without glitching or taking damage. High damage homing corrosive cloud grenades. Throw 4 right away, lay into with high damage rocket launcher, collect loots. Still what a bitch.

[Jimbo]

I'm on play threw 1, hit level 27, can I go take my cash and tip Moxie for the smg's, and then do it again when I hit level 50 on 2.5?

[TheWalrus]

I don't think the tipping thing ever stops.

[Soulflame]

I got a couple of SMGs from Moxxi on playthrough 1, and last night got a very nice level 35 SMG from Moxxi on playthrough 2.

[Bunk]

I don't think the tipping thing ever stops.

It doesn't I upgraded my fire SMG from level 20 to 26 yesterday. I think the level you get is based on where you are in the main story line.

[Jimbo]

Thanks guys, I was figuring I could do all the quest on play-threw 1, then wait till 2.5 for optional quests when I'm 50.

Moxie's shot gun is awesome, been using it for a while and it is great to "set the world on fire" :)

I didn't pre-order from Gamestop, so I can't get the critter kill arena.  Hopefully they make the pre-order special area's available to all later on.

For some reason I keep finding bad ass SMG's, then Sniper Rifles, then Shot Guns, then Pistols, then Rocket Launchers, pretty meh Assault Rifles, and so-so grenade mods and shields.  You would think I was a Siren instead of Commando, I was hoping for grenades and AR, but instead get SMG's and SR's. 

[TheWalrus]

I just got the Impaler shield, does wonders for loaders

[Rendakor]

I finished Captain Scarlett's DLC, and I'm now starting up True Vault Hunter mode. Is there a third playthrough after this where everything is level 50, or should I avoid side quests in this run until I get to max level?

[Mazakiel]

There is a third play-through of a sort, but apparently it only resets the story quests, not the side quests.  From what I've read, you'll want to skip the sidequests with unique rewards so that they'll scale to level 50 during the third play-through. 

[Rendakor]

That's what I thought; it's stupid but good to know in advance at least.

[Mortriden]

This is correct.  If you can do it, which you should be able to, skip all the side quests you can, don't even pick them up.  Once you finish playthrough 2 they will scale to your level.  By doing this you get the annoying Zed and Marcus mini-movies every time.  I recommend you do their little beginning side quests just to get rid of that bullshit. 

[Rendakor]

Finally finished this on True Vault Hunter Mode as my Sniper Zer0 and my buddy's Siren. I'd played with a melee spec for a little while and it's fun but can't match the damage output of sniping. Farming for some better gear now so we can take out Terramorphus; is The Warrior the best source of legendary loot?

Also the new DLC drops this Tuesday: Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage.

[Soulflame]

Maybe sniper Zer0 works with a partner in TVHM, but it doesn't do terribly well solo.  I switched to a Cunning build, and was a lot more successful, particularly in handling those damn stalker things.

Just got past Bloodwing, who is a complete PITA.  Especially the corrosive form.

[Rendakor]

Zer0's honestly just not a good solo character. Stalkers (and most melee mobs) are really annoying as a sniper, while EXP/Hot Loaders are annoying as melee; I think I stuck with sniping because there are a lot of bosses where trying to melee them is impossible, and farming the Warrior even on TVHM as a sniper is very easy. Now if only he'd drop the Conference Call...

[Soulflame]

Cunning is a pretty good solo spec.  Between the ability which causes a nova around you when you leave Deception, and the kunai you throw from Deception, you can really put the hurt on things that annoy you.

[Jimbo]

"I am the last Claptrap in existence and I AM GOING TO TEABAG YOUR CORPSE!"  Just finished the 1st time, started the 2nd.  So do only the main quest, then come back and do all the side quests after I kill the warrior and be level 50, and that should get some good drops from the quests...or so that is what I'm thinking.

Great game, I took Commando as my character and have had a decent time.  Just get's frustrating when you are kicking ass, then bam you're dead from something you didn't have in your gear. 

[TheWalrus]

Randy Savage. The end.

[Signe]

I  my mechromancer.  I could cry, I love her so much. 

[TheWalrus]

Ain't she cool? I love her sayin "I am SUCH a BA!"

[Lantyssa]

"GeeGee",  "Boop"

I love Gaige.  More than Lilith.

[tar]

I like her high-anarchy lines, when she starts yelling at you for breaking the game "PLAYER! What are you DOING?!"

[Yegolev]

NUMBERS, NUMBERS, MATHMATHMATH!

[Yegolev]

Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.  More things.  Easier meta-play.

In this mode, you will always start in Southern Shelf at Cleaning Up the Berg and may reset your playthrough progress as often as you like without losing any items, levels, or stats. All enemies are significantly more difficult in this playthrough, but the loot quality has increased accordingly. Rumor has it there is an entirely new rarity of loot out there for high-level players.

Added new items to the Black Market:
        One additional ammo upgrade for each ammo type, at 50 Eridium each.
        Two more backpack storage space upgrades, at 50 and 100 Eridium respectively.
        Two more bank storage space upgrades, at 50 and 100 Eridium respectively.

    Increased the maximum amount of Eridium players can hold from 99 to 500.

    Deathtrap can no longer restore an enemy's shields, even though it was hilarious.

Also some needed bug fixes.

I gave up on Borderlands 2 early on. This may get me back to playing it.

Edit: me

[Yegolev]

I'm ready mentally, just need to make time for it.
