This stops being an issue once you find a money grenade, upgrade your backpack SDU and stop picking up every gun that drops on the ground. Takes a while to get to that point, though.
This is only an issue for me when I'm farming bosses that are nowhere close to vending machines. It's a hassle trying to run back to the respawn point after farming for hours on end.
I believe some of the Reddit and gearbox forums community have also voiced your concern. Needs more vending machines, and I agree.
Was lucky to get this grenade that drops money on impact. I quickly used it to upgrade my backpack to the max.
Smash is so worthless. It has only been used once to open up a hidden space and that was in the tutorial mission where it tells you how to do it. Does fuck all damage and you can't even initiate it from a normal jump.
Amara benefits greatly from the various melee relics. Can't really think why any of the other characters would use it though, and for those that don't really need to melee, slide is harmless, and sometimes has "fun" interactions like more shotgun damage while spraying snowballs or magma puddles everywhere. Slam on the other hand is pretty worthless. They need to change it so that you can actually do it from the height of a normal jump, because currently there's like no real point ever. The relics in the end though are really just something to equip for the other random modifiers you can get on them.
It's not even really any kind of issue at level 50. A few hours in and you shouldn't need money for anything anymore really aside from random ammo refills that will never exceed what you randomly pick up. The legendaries you no longer have room for that you are exchanging for others you can just drop on the ground. The death mechanic taking funds is pretty much pointless too, at least against bosses anyway. Since it resets the boss regardless, just reload the game and no funds are lost. Another thing is that there aren't really too many bosses that take longer than a minute or two to run back to (ignoring all of the trash on the way), so while having more vendors would make things easier, I think it's a bit overblown.

Zane Digi-Clone Scourge Build:
• Focuses on Under Cover and Doubled Agent trees
• Need to keep proccing Calm, Cool, Collected to reset Action Skills
• Corrosive Scourge for the Clone
• Cryo Night Hawkin to freeze enemies
• Incendiary Laser-Sploder for flesh enemies
• Shock HEX Grenade (helps to keep Transformer shield up) - you or your clone will be activating these via passive skills
Boom Enhance and good position makes the clone spam a barrage of rockets from across the field.

Right now that's the only thing worth doing (for offline farmers the Clap-Trap slot is the only option to give legendary class mods). They need to allow us to upgrade infinitely because money doesn't do much (besides refilling ammo and slots). The same applies to eridium. There's no use for both by end-game. Some folks aren't interested in cosmetics and emotes and some already bought everything from Earl.
I like one thing someone suggested on r/borderlands and the use of eridium. I think they wanted to be able to reroll equipment and weapons, and/or to anoint equipment/weapons. I think that's a good idea!
If you are on PC at least (or, maybe you can also just edit the console saves to function similarly) you can just copy one of your characters that already has forty backpack spaces opened for another "bank". On PC you just copy the save file, but rename it to a different number and you then have the same character(s) more than once at the character select. But yeah, by default the storage space is too small, although I don't remember how large it was in Borderlands 2. I just remember the shared stash was super small compared to this.
Yeah, it's such a shame, especially with so many relics bound to Smash (and slide which for the most part is equally boring/ rarely used).
Smashing was such a fun part of moment-to-moment gameplay in The Pre-Sequel, coupled with the Oz-kits it made for fun combinations and great action. Seems to me they tried to replicate some of that, but smash without low-grav or reduced height requirements is just pointless.
I think us console players are still waiting on Gibbed's save editor. That dude knows how to make a Borderlands save editor for console users. So I'll probably wait for that until an actual expansion dlc releases.
I had the same bug, solution is in this Gearbox forum thread https://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/t/resolution-secretly-resets-but/3135369
The solution in the 3rd post did it for me.
Re-rolling or annointing weapons for cash/eridiums needs to be a thing.
Does Slam scale with melee modifiers? If not, that might help some. Or maybe a shield modifier that's basically Amp for slams. But definitely it needs to be useable from standard jump height.
It really does need to be a thing. Disappointed that they didn't think thoroughly about the vast amounts of cash and eridium we would get by the end of the game, and after. I mean they did think about eridium via cosmetics and emotes, and buying anointed weapons but that's it.
This game is so much better if you just run through the main quest, only doing a few sidequests here and there. XP scales enough that you end up in the mid-late 30's by endgame regardless, but the real kicker: Once you beat the game, go straight to TVHM and join an online game with mayhem 3 activated. You'll level up super quick and be getting great weapons/mods/etc the whole time. Once you're level 50 in TVHM, you can take your time doing all the side quests and get your level 50 quest rewards without being burnt out from the previous playthrough.
Cryo Laser-Sploder is life. It's just so. Damn. Good.
It freezes fast, does well against shields even though it shouldn't, and rips through armor no problem. It's probably the most consistently amazing gun in my pack.
In hindsight, this was probably the way to go. I did everything my normal run, leveled to 50, then jumped in to TVHM and its boring AF because I'm geared up and melting everything. It's basically a joke and a 20 hour waste of time having to run through to the end in order to unlock mayhem levels on console.

Where can I find this Weapon? I have yet to see any laser-sploders and I farm offline and online, TreeBeard and Tinkers.
All will be good once I find a laser-Sploder and a mirv Hex.
I've got a few to drop off Graveward and Tyreen. They all do work, but the cryo one just seems to work out the bet for me.
I got a legendary Tediore shotgun recently, and it has the turret mode when you reload. I had no idea that the Tediore turrets also have the final skill on her blue skill tree--where your normal shots have a chance to cause an explosion.
That makes Tediore guns super crazy with Moze.
I think I read that he isn't doing it for console this time.
I have one that shoots 5 homing projectiles with radiation damage. It can kill almost anything in one hit.
I don't have those weapons yet, would this build still be viable without them? I'm tired of the drone and clone build I have right now.
Yeah. Plus you can't even use Gibbed on Xbox One saves and you can only use it for PS4 saves if you buy a $60 decryption tool. Doesn't seem like it's worth it.
Yeah they need to atleast double it, you should have enough space to hold one of every legendary. I don't know what the rationale could be for the low carry and bank limits.
Just exists to frustrate players.
Go into Moxxxi's bar and there will be 4 slots to your left. Clap-Trap's machine is the third one. You can tell the difference when you look up and see the names of the slot machines.
Not just legendaries. There are really cool purple and blues too. There is no justification for making us resort to using mules again. It's just poor game design for a game based around collecting loot.
I suspect they'll bump it up with DLC, but there will also be more legendaries with DLC as well, so it doesn't really solve the problem. They could also give another room with lots of display cases like the room on Sanctuary.
In the personal quarters on the wall opposite from the bank. The black rectangles each hold items (one of each type of gun, etc...).
Display cases, unlike the bank, are not shared by characters. I worried that my items were lost when starting a new character, but luckily they were not.
Digi-Clone with Doubled Barrel is good with the following weapons:
Crossroad SMG
Hive Rocket Launcher
The Duc Pistol
Trevonator Shotgun
Bekah Assault Rifle
Everything else is trash or inconsistent in comparison, imo.
For yourself, you need at least a Cryo Night Hawkin or Lucian's Call. Great weapons for freezing enemies.
Yeah this is very true, got a quasar that melts right now. 100% agreed, there is no reason for this, managing inventory isn't fun when the whole point of the game is "trillions of guns".
Thanks, I'm gonna go try get them now.
Is anyone able to power level one of my characters? The level 50 Achievement glitched out on me and it's the only Achievement I need left...I'm playing on Xbox.
ohhh ok, I thought it was somewhere totally different. all right, yeah I know about that one. Thanks.
