Borderlands 2

God damn I love this game. In late from work so was only going to do a quick mission, went to find

Scooter's girlfriend

, finished that and the door opened behind her. So I decided to do a little exploring. Worked my way through the

Rakk Caves

and who do I bump into,

Rakkman

! Then on the way back I notice another alcove where there I spot an odd number of beds surrounding a chest, seconds later I'm attacked by

Laney White and the Seven Dwarves

.

Course now it's 2:30am and my quick mission ended up being 2hrs... :pac:

Don't matter at lvl 50 i got two ****e pistols

DirtyBollox · 02-10-2012 8:33am

In regards to the golden chest can you not level the hell out of yourself and then go join a co-op with friends online and then open it? or does the better loot with more people not apply to this one?

I used one of my keys at level 20 and got 2 purple class mods. I wanted a big gun.

Found an Echo recorder last night in Sanctuary which gave me a mission to find a gun so I ended up in Lynchwood. Holy sh*t that place is hard. Had to abandon the mission because I'm just not at that level yet. Did pick up some great guns there though which I can't use until I level up a bit more, but should really help.

Anyone else think the assault rifles are a bit crap in the game? All the ones I've found so far are either weak, or are very powerful but use 4 ammo per shot and have really small magazine sizes. I usually use sniper rifles or SMG (corrosive usually) for far to medium range targets, and shotgun or pistol up close.

Kiith · 02-10-2012 8:39am

Used 2 keys yesterday, and got two grenade mods (one of which does a ton of damage and spawns 10 extra grenades) from the first and then an smg and shotgun from the 2nd. The two guns, which i would normally never use (always use snipers and assault rifles) are insanely powerful.

Will hang onto the other 2 keys i have until lvl20 (or until i get more).

DirtyBollox · 02-10-2012 9:39am

Anyone know if there's a hidden awesome loot chest like in rust commons west (?) in borderlands 1 when you had to go off the map to find it?

Just picked it up. One thing that bothered me about the first one was that if you played online, it would fill up your quest log with all the quests the host had, which was a pain as you couldn't delete them and some of most of them would be trivial and/or well ahead of your level. Is it the same online with 2?

Nope you get the hosts missions and only his, you can start missions for him but when you go back to your game its where you left off. Quite a handy feature tbh

Have an 863 rifle that holds 24 bullets and fires rockets so i disagree, tears tru Badass Loaders in seconds

Maybe I'm just not there yet (Level 23, just met

The Slab King

). Most powerful rifle I have is about 520 but fires rockets (4 ammo per shot and 24 magazine size so really 6 shots) and is pretty slow to both shoot and reload. Accuracy is pretty terrible on it too.

Have an amazing 143x13 shotgun which tears through pretty much anything up close. Only 3 shots, and even uses 2 shots per round (so you get a full shot, then a half shot before needing to reload), but goddamn it makes short work of pretty much everything. Plus a 350 pistol with great fire rate.

Also, I hate finding a brilliant sniper rifle and finding out it's a Dahl with burst fire when zoomed. Get a headshot, and then because of recoil, 4 shots go flying off into nowhere wasting ammo.

Man, the level of weaponry in this game is something serious.

I did find a hole in the world when i was looking for tina's place, no chests, just an infinite fall through the world until the game crashes or you exit and reload.

If you want to see for yourself, it's about 5 meters to right of the painted bunny at tina's place (where ye do the tea party) hug the wall and you'll see it.

Grayditch · 02-10-2012 1:32pm

I've done the Tiny Tina missions 3 times, now. Her quips are not as fun the 2nd time. And 3rd time...going high pitch on the last word, with white gurl hip-hop-isms just made me think of Juno. I like that she's bat-sh1t crazy, though.

There are a few yeah. I don't think any can be classified as Developers chests like the one in Borderlands, but you might find some good stuff. For example, there is a secret chest outside Buzzards Lair in the Tundra Express.

Check youtube for more.

^ First stop is there, this evening!

calex71 · 02-10-2012 3:46pm

Thought I had the challenges wrapped up for the achievement to have all of them at least level 1, took me ages to get J3Nk1n5 to spawn then once he did no achievement. :mad:

Once I did some googling I discovered that you need to get several of the challenges to level 5 to get others to unlock and show up...... off now to kill 750 goons at pointblank range with my shotgun.

Mr Freeze · 02-10-2012 3:55pm

Not gonna go near them challenges until I have near exhausted the game playing through loads of characters.

Hopefully then, there will only be a few left to get.

Anyone come across the hilarious

Shoot This Guy in the Face

mission?

This game is absolutely massive!

Just last night.

His name was Face McShooty.... genius.

It's the little things in this game which are so hilarious. I remember when you first get the gun in Claptraps place, the text box comes up and says something like "Congratulations! You just walked 5ft and picked up a gun. Later when you're battling monsters the size of a skyscraper, you'll look back at this moment and think 'Heh'."

Love the achievement you get for it

Well, that was easy

Hawke · 02-10-2012 6:35pm

Greenmangaming has the season pass for 22 quid if you use GMG25-EVFWS-4Z4ZN at the checkout if anyone's looking for cheaper. Works for the full game too I guess.

Thargor · 02-10-2012 11:38pm

Oh my God if Tannis asks you in sanctuary to run round the town and collect the tapes where she talks about her torture do it, I was crying laughing at it, everything she says makes me laugh but her talking about the

ceiling chairs

was classic.

Local-womanizer · 02-10-2012 11:45pm

Starting playing this the other day.

Having never played 1 I didn't know what to expect but have to say I'm surprised at how good it is. It's also providing a great challenge at times.

I love the style and music.

Anyone who likes fps and is not sure about this get it

hightower1 · 03-10-2012 12:46am

Finished my first play through last night and cleared all the side missions aside from the final round of hyperion slaughter house and the lvl 50 impossible difficulty boss. Took me about 45 hrs all in.

Just spent most of tonight clearing off badass challenges and started true vault hunter mode. I have to say this is very close to one of my favorite games of all time. The world, the writing, the characters, the action, the size... it has the lot. Its original, its funny , its huge and its action packed.

Finding true vault hunter mode a little hit and miss difficulty wise though, the standard bullymongs Im destroying in seconds but then came across a new type one that took a lot of work? Will need more time with it to see how it goes.

Have some real nice gear though, shields up at 8000 right now, jacobs pistol that does 1500 damage, launcher that does 20,000 dmg and a sniper that does 2500 dmg. Shotgun is weak at 550x11 though. The loot in true valut mode is savage though.... mmmmmm....looooooot

I found it a bit step up in difficulty even after finishing play one at level 36, I'd already replaced most of my gear which was owning enemies in play 1 before I got to sanctuary in play 2. Non human enemies are cake but bandits that now have shields and armor and resistances are proving very costly from the amount of respawns I've had

That mission came up as IMPOSSIBLE for me, yet at my level and the easiest mission in a while.

I guess the hard part was supposed to be listening to her complain on the tapes

. Funny mission.

I was gettin gto think that, the uses more than one round per shot is really annoying. But then I found the Jacobs rifle with the alloy wheel clip and been using it for about 10 levels now and just picked up a stunningly good purple explosive rifle. Going from nearly an entire clip to kill those rat things in The Fridge to two shots

:D:D

18 or 20, but they were terrible, the green shields I had were better

Also managed to have infinite ammo for a while after getting the first gun off moxxi, I died and it fixed itself though

Big Knox · 03-10-2012 10:26am

Got a chance to play a bit last night and hit level 20.

Decided to use my Golden Key and got a class mod for a Gunzerker and an Assasin. I'm playing as Maya!

Store it in claptraps stash and pick it up when you go through again with a gunzerker or assassin.

dreamers75 · 03-10-2012 11:50am

Gunzerkers killing song when hes in Gunzerker mode is hilarious.

Got the iron sights Bison rifle last night, its a sniper rifle without the scope and bolt action. 2300 damage. Tbh considering who i got it from i earned it, damn that was hard!

grizzly · 03-10-2012 11:50am

I'm only level 15, but really enjoying this. I haven't had this much fun in a game in a long time. This is shoulders above the 1st one (which was great).

I remember one of the sniper rifles I used for multiple levels in Borderlands 1 was a no-scope-only-ironsights model aswell, was gutted when I gave it up, I think it actually made me a better shooter in games like CoD4 etc

Whittings Elephant Gun? I loved that motherf*cker.

Just so satisfying to headshot with. Almost a shotgun power in rifle form.

Did the same quest last night. My first tactic of hiding in the lift was a catastrophic failure

The other three times I died, I was hiding behind the rocks, thinking they were safe... Cost me a fortune, about 20000+ The gun is definitely a worthwhile reward though.

Dont want to say what i did cos it was cheap

But involved a Turret with rockets and running a lot

Thargor · 03-10-2012 12:27pm

When you see people mentioning guns like that, are they guaranteed drops that you get for certain missions or is it all randomised?

Some are guaranteed drops for completing certain missions. Others are random deadly ones.

Arawn · 03-10-2012 12:29pm

Some are mission rewards. The best thing in the game( the bee) is a gold drop from a side mission but he respawns so you can farm

Arid badlands. Left of quick travel is the hyperion truth network.

My smg when the bee is charged does 50k damage a bullet

Gauranteed but its damage is relative to your level, ie i got it at 2300 level 34 but it would be less if i got it at level 30.

calex71 · 03-10-2012 4:22pm

I used the firehawk nova shield in the 1st play for a while and found it very use full, picked it up on the second one and it's an animal, low on actual shield points compared to others I have but it keeps spewing novas as long as I'm being attacked, once it goes off I just run at weaker enemies to kill them with it

Mr Freeze · 03-10-2012 4:24pm

I want that Bee shield, but haven't a clue where it is, or what mission it is.

Hopefully get it soon.

quick one for you guys - i got borderlands 2 With Pre-Order Bonus Premiere Club Access and read somewhere that you should save using it until your are at a higher level so the guns you get with it are also at that higher level. is that true?

Yip, but go open it now for the craic. Keys are easy come by, I got 5. :pac:

Now I have one left, it was very hard to walk past the chest without opening it when you have 5 keys.
