The Official Borderlands 2 Thread

Been farming The Warrior for awhile...whoever was saying farming at a level lower than 50 was useless, I have to strongly disagree. Been getting some awesome purples farming The Warrior with my Bee and a badass Jakobs AR I found. Also levelled up a couple times (level 38 now I think).

It's also a great way to get a ton of cash if you need it for some reason (badass ranks mostly I guess)
 
I fed master gee to his worms - and the game crashed. :(

for anyone trying to get the achievement, you have to deal the death blow

Yep, be prepared for a challenge though, most enemies dish out enough damage to kill you in only a few shots or less, and some of them can be serious bullet sponges until you find some more powerful weapons.

If you do not want to play same old game in PT2 just try some coop online games. Choose games with slightlu higher level players. Say level 39, 40.

It will be tough, fun and you will level up your character very fast.

Online play isn't possible for me.

I hope the challenge is enough to keep me interested in the game on the second play through. I just want to take out the two level 52 bosses. I'll start working on it and see how it goes.

Man, if you hit lvl 38 on PT1, you waaaayyy out leveled the difficulty. I think I was lvl 32, and it was a cakewalk, can't imagine at 38. Give PT2 and go, you'll get your ass kicked I promise. All your guns you think are awesome at the end of PT1 are a complete joke on the second go round.

If you can't play online, then I suggest finding that 4 player hack -- you can get better exp and loot as if you were in a multiplayer... be warned though, 4 players = assrape if you're in a tough spot.
 
after running dozens of tests with and without that mod I can't say the loot is any better at all. at best you will be fighting more badasses which can have drops, but oranges... no. Also, apparently testing was performed to set the 5% rare mod to 1 million percent. The only thing it did was remove the chance of getting whites. It did not improve the chance for oranges. And finally with the way the loot system works the chance for good loot from vending machines, regular mobs and badasses is zero. Red text loot can be often gotten from mission bosses (3-5%). They can usually be hit up repeatedly afterward to retry. Warrior usually sucks. Terra will always give an orange mod. The leviathan treasury room has the highest rates I have seen and even that is not that great. Hyperius and Gee also have sucky loot, and if you let the poison kill Gee you get virtually nothing. The only thing I have not tested is vermi, and apparently he can be difficult to create.

With Leviathan that I first killed at Level 45 all loot remaind at Level 45 even if I get back to it at level 50 and beat him again. Sad thing. May be I should have leveled first to 50 before beating him.
 
Are you in PT2.5?

nvm, I see my stuff is at level 48. maybe you need to do it the second time also

so how exactly does the online gaming work? I never get anything when browsing. I can quick join games and that sometimes works. A person joined my game once. I have tried seeing if there are any ports to be opened but did not find any aside from "it uses steam". Well, I used to play TF2 fine...

Join our BL2 H group and make some friends. Playing with randoms is asking to be frustrated.

I'm in PT2. But I did so that I started PT2 at level 38 just to reach the first fast travel station. from there, without finishing PT2 I went stright to Oasis to have stronger enemies then on PT1. It worked very well. Pirates started from level 40. But I reached Leviathan at level 45 and this is where it stuck for now :(

this is the same thing I did. Switched to PT2 to do the DLC because other wise it would have been WAY to easy. I think I started at level 35 and ended up at level 40 by the time I finished.

By the time I hit the end of the DLC, it was just running through everything. Even the boss was not an issue.

I did not run through DLC becaus at level 38 Cursed pirates were at level 40 and were quite difficult to kill.

Honestly, the spike in difficulty for Pt 2 has really killed my interest in BL2 for the time being. My last chance for it is to try a few different builds and see if they help, but I'm getting damn tired of dying every 30 seconds. And usually my "fight for your life" mode expires with an enemy at 1-5% health. Borderlands 1 is my most played game on Steam, which makes it all the more frustrating.

In before "you just suck at games" comments. Bottom line is once a game becomes this frustrating, it stops being fun for me.
 
i killed like two bosses then quit.

i think im gonna stop buying games

What class do you play?
 
Do the teapot mission then farm the huge bumblebee. she drops a baby maker smg which tosses a mirv on reload. You can use it like a huge axe and it makes fight for your life easy even with badasses.
 
just beat the warrior and no orange weapon. i saw a couple of items underneath his body. left the area, ran back, the warrior respawned. killed him AGAIN and looked around, still no orange.

i was under the impression that the first time you beat the warrior he drops an orange?

Same. I stopped playing at around level 42. Playing as a zero, needing 5-6 headshots to kill a regular guy is frustrating; I rarely even sniped anymore, just ran around with my shotgun. I'm sure once I found a better weapon it would help, but I hadn't found anything in quite a while. D3 and BF3 have regained my interest after I pumped something like 60 hours into BL2 in a ridiculously short period of time.

It may have fallen under his body, which makes it impossible to get. Sucks, and they still haven't fixed it.

after killing him a 2nd time, i despawned the body successfully and still nothing...can they fall into the lava?

when I started the DLC on PT1 I was just stomping through everything because I was like 4 level higher than all the enemies.

Yup.

And I don't believe there's any guarantee of anything when killing the Warrior.

Siren.

I tweaked my build and was having a much easier time, then I got to the, uh, boss fight in the Wildlife Preserve mission, and I'm fucking stuck again. She killed me like four times in a row with absolutely nothing to shoot at (I'm even intentionally leaving skags alive for second winds.) Then I got sick of it and quit. Now, I'm stuck with the knowledge that if I want to have another go at it, I've gotta slag my way through all those fucking stalkers to get back to where I was.

The spike is due to your weapons being underpowered for the level. I thought the same thing until I took some time and farmed some weapons and boy did it make a difference. I find the difficulty refreshing especially with some mobs having special attacks or armor.

Also remember, in PT1, the difficulty level is VERY forgiving if you like to Rambo into the fray. In PT2 you have to use enviromental cover, wait for shields to recharge, use grenades to soften them up and/or get position (singularity mods) and just plain play smart. Also elemental damage comes into play along with Badass rankings. This is why you have to carry a diverse arsenal even though the damage may not be optimal compared to your main weapon class. I carry two sniper rifles with my main being corrosive and some electrical damage to blow apart enemy shields. Slaging enemies also helps me do more damage to tick their life away. Every bit of damage helps.

Your need a better sniper rifle plus some badass rankings.
 
It seems like good items are more rare in BL2 than they were in BL1. In BL1, if I got to the point where my weapons felt ineffective, I felt like I had a chance at getting something decent out of one of the gun vendors...in BL2, there's usually only one or two green-quality or better guns for sale at any given time.

I built my Siren build around the Cataclysm tree to inflict as many elemental conditions on enemies as possible. Against regular mobs, anything I phase-lock goes down with the quickness. Right now it's just the one boss fight that I can't seem to get past. Her attacks seem completely undodgeable.
 
if anyone wants to do some mission, I'm willing to help anyone who's having a hard time finishing the game on PT2. However, I do not condone duping, so please dont ask to dupe. I can however, lend you some credits if you need it. I havent finish the DLC yet since I'm just helping people out randomly.

Steam ID: axtbear add and msg me when you need help on a mission. I'm usually on 8-11pm pst.
 
I'm in pretty much the same situation here. I finished PT1 and the DLC but am around a level 38 with no real good weapons. Rather than be frustrated by PT2, I'm just ready for the next DLC.

Take a few runs at the PT1 Warrior. It's a quick way to get a ton of guns that should get you well on your way in PT2.

I did the first DLC on PT2 and within 30 minutes of the DLC I got some great upgrades.
 
does the DLC stay with your LVL when you start it? I've been through PT2 a bit and am level 42 now, will i get anything in the DLC worth keeping you think?
 
Still have not defeated Hyperius... tried 7 times now. What an absolute bastard he is. Really dislike the mechanic of global AoE attack that you can not shield against or dodge in any way. What a silly idea Gearbox.

Using legendary weapons, such as Infinity and legendary shield and class mod.. no bee yet. I can not wait to find that damn shield! I guess I need a baby maker and more Max Health.

don't know your class but you can hide behind the pipe on the left. it will protect you for a short time, then if soldier or zero throw your stuff on the other side of the pipe. I think the 5 second baby maker video was faked, I have tried multiples and they just do not work fast enough. To get the robots use singularity slag grenades, it will cluster them (and with zero's bore skill it is an easy kill). The problem though is once dude's support is gone or he is at about 1/3rd health he will jump attack you and then his AoE repeatedly. At that point a babymaker + 33% second wind time may allow you to get him. And some people have posted about using teslas. Done that, don't bother. Think those are also fake. Anyway I hope you kept the sand hawk smg from the dlc, that is one of the best for the sheer number of bullets it puts out. I use that with the bee shield and bore skill and slag singularities and it is still difficult.
