Borderlands 2

Scandy what's the key glitch? Just arrived in sanctuary and haven't used my key yet.

[scandyflick]

You just need to join a game a mate is hosting, head to the chest, and open.

It'll use your key, but you'll be able to open it as many times as you have the patience to do so.

AFAIK, it only works for the guest, not the host, so if they want a go, you'll have to switch places.

Mechromancer should be out by the end of the day!

[25GTT]

nice, just on level 12 commando, i tried zero but wasnt too impressed so went back to commando. old habits......

Hmmm i wonder if shes good?

[scandyflick]

I'll give her a run through to Sanctuary as soon as I get home.

Then probably switch back to Axton to finish him off, so close to 50...

[25GTT]

So is that level 50 in the 1 run through or have you finished the campaign and doing it again with him?

[scandyflick]

Level 45 by the time I got to Wilhelm in play 2.

Finished the first run at 35.

Gaige is a pretty entertaining character. Decent through put for her levels, and DT is a f**king tank, I can see him being insanely useful with the right build. Only problem I see with him is the lack of ability to call him back early.

This.. and also accidentally reloading when intending to interact/travel/buy etc... thus losing all of the built up Anarchy

Ha, yeah, that shit me a bit.

Gave anarchy a spin, pretty useful, though after a while it's like throwing a bucket of rice at a ping pong ball 50ft away. Need to experiment with some Hyperion weaponry. It's not bad though, with a triple barrel Jakobs, I could run right up to a BA Bullymong and one shot them.

Gonna re-spec for a support build until level 30ish, and then go for a hybrid high DPS build.

I got 250+ golden keys if anyone wants to open some chests

[scandyflick]

Had my first Terra kill the other day, took 3 attempts until he dropped the Commando com, and he dropped the Mecro com on the very next kill. Still chasing the rest of his legendaries unfortunately...

If anyone on Xbox has a Hide of Terra, Breath of Terra, or a shock Conference Call or shock Sledge, and wants a level 50 Pyrophobia in return, shoot me a message on XBL, my GT is scarecrowAU.

Duped, legit, don't care as long as it isn't modded.

Playing as Zero, not sure what I think of him. Played BL as Lillith and loved the phase walking.

Ah well!

On lvl 33 with zero, not too bad of a character. Once you get a high enough level the melee special is pretty powerful.

If i started again i'd go with the commando just for the turret

[25GTT]

Yeah level 31 now with Commando and still is a good challenge and enjoying the game. Dont think i will play through again but definately keen to see further DLC's for it.

Cant beleive i took 3 weeks of annual leave to play this for sometime and some of you guys are on your second way through. In my defence i have completed all but one side quest so far.

Most of my add ons are for the turrent cool downrate, so basically means less time for me to have to wait for the turrent to be used again. Sometimes it is a case of deploying it and running away for it to take care of everything but that only works to a certain level.

[scandyflick]

I've been lvl 50 with Axton for a little while now, about halfway through his second PT. Been soloing Terra for way too long, picked up a couple legendary items for my troubles, Including a Legendary Soldier com adding +5 to all tier 1 skills, huge bonus for cool down rates, fire rate, and gun damage. It's pretty sweet. Haven't played him in a few days though. Got massively sick of farming.

Side note, anyone thinking of farming Terra, I cannot emphasise enough just how easy a x7 Conference Call and a Bee shield make it.

Up to level 28 first PT with my mechro build. Invested pretty heavily in the Little Big Trouble tree. Should prove rather handy by the time she hits her second, where every enemy seems to have a f**king adaptive shield.

I've got a bunch of free time (hospitality worker), so a lot of that gets dumped into BL2 at the moment, but I'm still yet to see PT 2.5 with either build, yet so many people on the GBX forums have maxxed all 5 characters. Crazy.
