Does this game support mods or any kind of UI alteration? Inventory management and item comparison needs a massive overhaul, and I bet a ton of aspiring mod and UI designers could do a better job than what comes with the game. It's the one thing I absolutely hate about this game. The UI for inventory management and equipment comparison absolutely sucks shit.

You're the first person to say it has to be out and not just equipped, you got a source on that?

Certainly !

Only gotta finish slaughterstar and do the multiplayer trophies for the plat.

Was one of those games where I never started out trying to plat it but I naturally unlocked so many, that I just ended up deciding to plat it.

I thought so too for a long time.

I think someone said they only had to be equipped early on and people just ran with it. They don't feature visible buff icons so...

I watched some stream of cohh with the game and he has a bunch of special sidequest in sanctuary (rick and morty, demogorgon etc.) that i don't have, it's something dlc related or i have some bug?

thanks.

I'm just coming back to the site after a long hiatus. I've been having a blast with this after playing through the Presequel and the new BL2 DLC with a friend over the summer.

Playing as a phasegrasp Amara and finished up the campaign with friends and did a fair bit if farming with them on mayhem 3. Lately I have been soloing TVHM to be able to do mayhem there and to be sure to see all the story missions as I missed a few jumping around to different friends' games. Just mainlining the story missions and saving sidequests for mayhem mode--other than Swamp Bro as I wanted that gun.

I kinda assumed the Annointed guns had to be active in your hand to get the buff, and I noticed the ones that had a chance to cause "xx" type of damage only worked when I was using it.

Still, good to know someone actually tested it and confirmed my suspicion.

Well, you know that we don't all have the time to get four characters to 50 to test these things out, or time to test multiple permutations of loadouts. Most of us just play when we get the time

I understand that, but when you're wondering if something works or not and have the means to find the answer, it doesn't take that much time. You only need two different annointed weapons, and you don't even have to be 50 either. They start appearing before that point, and can be purchased on the ship.

I mean, I could have been totally mistaken in my assumption after the few weapons I tried out on how they worked, because maybe they just were not working properly at the time. But as far as I knew, based off of the five minutes of testing I did, they had to be in your hand to get the bonus, and swapping would instantly nullify it. One of the easiest types to test too would be the bonus element damage with your next two magazines after any action skill.

If anyone playing Moze find a Quasar grenade, keep it. It work incredibly well with grenade regeneration and healing your shield with the Bloodletter mod. You're almost unkillable with that grenade and mod. The Red Jabber rare in Eden-6'S Ambermire is a good place to farm it until this week's event is over(on Tuesday?). Plus the couple of Thieving Jabbers over there drop so much money you'll max your SDUs quickly.
Plus, it never gets boring to see helpless enemies flying, especially in Mayhem. Throw 3-4(or 19 if you have that much like me) Quasar grenades in a big group and watch the lightning spectacle.

Also, I'm not sure who said the lottery machines give "too much" legendaries, but I must have waste 2 millions at lvl 50 and still haven't seen one. I have more luck just killing enemies or opening boxes at Mayhem III.

What the best way to power level an alt? I need a second character just because the bank space is pitiful. Think I will roll a Moze over Flak.

They're apparently looking to evolve mayhem over the life of the game, sounds pretty cool. In a year or so there will be an incredible amount of content through dlc and replayability if they do this right.

I hope they make mayhem have more out there interesting modifiers, dumb shit like low gravity and turning movement speed way way way up etc etc.

Yeah, honestly if I see modifiers like -50% corrosive, incendiary, radioactive all active at the same time, I just reload my game instead. There has to be better way to make this interesting.

Yeah I hope they are in some funny modifiers too lol. Something like bigger heads or something else ridiculous.

What's the one legendary item that you folks have been getting the most? For me, it's the Woodblocker sniper rifle. I've gotten it in multiple chests, and have had it drop at least four times now.

Wow I just started a new character and I didn't know your guardian rank carries over! I already have the hunter filled with flaak so it's is great.

Edit but I won't increase rank until I hit lvl 50?

also, any tips for Amara, skill points wise?

mystical assault seems like fun, also, is brawl any good? I want to melee mainly.

You still increase your ranks. Once it's unlocked, it's unlocked. What you're seeing is the very small experience gains towards it while reaching level 50 again. Depending on how many ranks you already have, you should earn another one by the time you hit level 30.

Finally got a Cryo Recurring Hex (MIRV) with 583% efficiency, Cryo Laser-Sploder and an Artifact that gives me +35% bonus damage to frozen enemies and +50% Cryo efficiency. I'm out here creating a frozen tundra with my Digi-Clone and keeping my action skills up infinitely.

Update:

Building upon this build, also got a Frozen Heart Shield from Aurelia at Eden-6 (triggers a Cryo nova explosion after shield depletion, and the Digi-Clone will also copy this shield mod), plus a Cryo Crossroad which shreds and crits like crazy.

In process of uploading a video showcasing the build and using it at the Slaughtershaft in Mayhem 3 with little to no trouble. Anointed enemies get taken care of by Flakker or the Clone with Scourge.

I might have had the biggest streak of luck I'm ever going to have in this game. I got a boatload of legendaries to drop over the course of my playtime today, and pretty much all of them were items I've wanted, or wanted to try.


I'm scared a meteor's going to hit my house later.

I can't decide on what to farm on FL4K.

Atm I'm wandering around relatively aimlessly and kill world bosses but I have nothing specific to farm :-/
Any suggestions?

Cmon patch day

Yeah, big head mode is the type of thing I'm hoping for. Basically take a look at what old shooters had as cheats and just go crazy.
Got bored and threw together a revamp on modifiers
All mayhem 1 modifiers can appear in mayhem 2/3, and mayhem 2 modifiers can appear in mayhem 3.

MAYHEM ONE:

  • Big head mode
  • Circle of Death: Shooting with a gun gives ammo to the clip of the next gun(clockwise)
  • Low gravity
  • Fast Hands: Players/enemies reload their guns faster
  • Vampire: Players/enemies regenerate health continuously
  • I Can Do This All Day: Players/enemies get a bigger magazine size on all weapons
  • Red Rain: Grouped up enemies take more damage
  • Eagle Eye: The further away from an enemy you are, the more damage you do
  • Facehugger: The closer to an enemy you are, the more damage you do
  • Splish Splash: Upon causing an elemental effect, a puddle is spawned of that element at the effect place
  • Rage: The lower health players/enemies are, the more damage they deal
  • Bouncy house: All bullets reflect off surfaces
  • Nostalgia Glasses: The longer it's been since a weapon was pulled out, the more damage it will deal upon swapping to it
  • Drunken Haze: Accuracy is heavily reduced, but gun/melee damage is dramatically increased
MAYHEM TWO:

  • Torgue special: Explosion radius on everything is double
  • Oh Hare Hare: Movement and projectile speed is doubled for players/enemies
  • Pimp Hand: Melee knockback distance is increased by 5x and melee damage by 2x for players/enemies
  • Ol Switcheroo: Enemies gain resistance to the last element they were shot with for 5 seconds
  • Lucky Shot: First shot in every magazine has 100% accuracy
  • Fetch Me Their Souls: Killing an enemy gives a stackable 10% damage boost for 3 seconds
  • Spammy: Action skill cools down faster but damage is decreased
  • Last Will: When enemies die they launch a blood ball at the player which explodes on impact
  • Bloodlust: Enemies constantly run towards the player
  • Jack in the box: Killing normal enemies spawn a tink
  • Minute Men: Guns have a chance to unload their whole clip on the first trigger pull
  • Implosion Control Problems: Killing an enemy makes them implode, drawing nearby enemies/players into them
MAYHEM THREE:

  • Small head mode
  • Snapback: Bullets return to the place they were fired from after hitting something
  • Dual wield: Each enemy has 2 guns
  • Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: you are met with a tink horde
  • That's Legendary: Enemies can now spawn with legendary guns
  • Rally: Grouped up enemies deal increased damage and have a faster fire rate
  • The Bandit King: Special enemies spawn which gain damage and health when an enemy dies around them
  • Monster Reborn: Killing an enemy has a chance to resurrect them as a badass (this can only occur once)

What's the fastest way too boost an alt? I just need more inventory space. 90 slots is ridiculous for the amount of loot in this game. I really don't want to start deleting legendary gear I haven't even tried yet, but I'm at that point.

I am up to level 32 or 33 now.. I'll be honest, I'm not sure that I am actually enjoying this game as much as I remember liking Borderlands 1 and 2. I don't know if it's just because I'm relatively underwhelmed by FL4K or what, but I feel like I'm playing more out of obligation than enjoyment already. I find the progression and lack of variety in enemies to be very underwhelming. Think I will definitely sell this the minute I beat it.

That's because leveling up in BL2 dropped nothing but greens and whites. Getting two purples out of the golden chest felt like rare loot. Way more blues and purples drop and are available to buy in vending in this game, so a chest full of 6-8 purples isn't as impactful as 2 were in the BL2 chest.

But my first golden key gave me a level 37 Phasezerker legendary mod for my Amara that was still great at level 50.

Is the Bekah (Jakobs Legendary Assault) only available in the mail after completeing Hammerlock's Legendary Hunt? It's my current go-to gun. Every time I find something else that looks promising I quickly get disappointed and go back to the Bekah. I'm going to be sad if there's no chance for it to drop from another source once mine becomes obsolete after any future raises to the level cap.

I've never heard of the Bekah dropping anywhere else.

But the Lyuda does randomly drop despite being a similar reward so maybe?

Performance has actually gotten worse for me the more I play.

Finished the
Atlas level
yesterday and there were parts where I'm sure it went 20fps like a clip show...so annoying

So I finally finished my first run through the story with a few friends and I had a blast with the game! The ending I found pretty underwhelming though and I have lots of small issues with the game but otherwise I liked it! Gameplay-wise BL3 edges out BL2 for me but I have to say I preferred BL2 by far in terms of atmosphere and locations. There's just something "cozy and homely" about Pandora that I didn't get from planet-hopping on the Sanctuary III as weird as that might sound.
