Borderlands 2 release date confirmed ( Launch trailer also )

The more I play this the less I'm enjoying it. Needlessly tough enemies, woeful regular loot drops and some of the side missions are harder than the story missions :(

I'm level 26 and seriously struggling on level 24/25 side quests which just seems ludicrous! Also struggling to find anything decent in the way of machine guns with extended clips - the first game I had an S&S rifle with over 200 clip. Biggest I've seen here is about 112 and that was 20 hours ago :(

Maybe I've just rolled my Gunzerker badly? Certainly not enjoying it as much as the first game though :(

My drops are rubbish as well, but still enjoying the game. Also find not being able to buy decent weapons a pain as well, just spending all my coin in the bandits in hope I'll score lucky, which I never do.

Found tipping moxxi at the Ba the best way to ge a decen weapon.

Why not respec the skill-points and try another approach? Worth a try

Stop playing then.

Loot is never ending, mobs are easy once you have good weapons and a good understanding of how to play your character.

I'm around the same level as you and haven't died really since about level 15ish. If anything I'm finding it too easy now.
 
once i unlocked a few perks AND started to use my abilities the game got easier.



N ow when i come to an area of 3+ bad guys, i go Bezerka mode, throw a flame grenade that sucks the enemies to it (i have ability tso now it throws 2 grenades not just 1:) ) and arm an automatic explosive round spinigun tyope gun and a huge shotgun and just walk right into the mob that has been sucked ibn by my grande and pummel them away with explosive rounds. If theres more bad guys ill throw a second grenade while i let my sheifl recover and then do the same.

If i see robots i put a burst fire sniper rifle on that kills them in 2 burts and keep them at bay.
 
Ok, the Law & Order combination for a melee Zer0 is absolutely epic.

I've also just hit the end of the Bloodshed tree. Its absolutely mental. If the enemies are weak enough I can Execute 1, re-cloak, execute another, re-cloak, and so on until either one survives or they're all dead. And with my skills I gain massive damage from back attacks and a lot of hp from a kill on top of regening a large chunk of hp whenever I hit something because of the shield/gun combo. I've done quite a bit now just running around like a lunatic on 3man coop slashing everything to death. Moment anything goes below 25% hp it pretty much dies because I get +500% melee damage.

At the risk of sounding like im bragging, at no point have i found this game too hard or needlessly difficult. Some parts have been tedious but very rare.

Maybe it's just Zer0 with Sniper/Shotgun combo but i've very few deaths.

Same with the first playthrough, but now i'm on the 2nd playthrough it just got really tough. My best sniper rifle that could 1 shot bandits with a critical hit now takes 8-10 critical hits.
 
I wish there was a way to remove scopes from guns.

I have found some great guns which I simply cannot use due to the scopes being far too zoomed.

Got a brilliant SMG yesterday, but its practically got the same distance scope as a sniper rifle, just isn't practical. I would personally much rather have iron sights on everything except sniper rifles.
