I'm a commando, level 50 and using a sniper, assult and smg. My rocket gives me 12K per shot but the projectile is slow and not stright. I've been trying for the past 2 days and get close till about a 1/5 of the way and i die some how either being pushed off or low health.

Oh so PT2 then. RL won't help much so probably worth removing it if you have a shotgun or something around. Could be your shield is too weak. My Soldier is working on the Guerilla tree atm so Willing reduces my recharge delay massively and Able and Preperation let me steadily regen hp during fights.

Could be your guns are too weak if you're running out of ammo and getting killed while trying to restock. Especially late into the fight where the lava has risen.

On a side note, Claptrap dialogue on the last mission never ceases to make me laugh :D
 
Presumably im anything but very exposed there if i took 0 damage :P When he burrows under, move around to rock to the other side. When he pops up, shoot him in the eye.

Told you :P

Its not even glitching. It's using cover. I wasnt outside of the map or doing anything unintentional, i just stood behind some rocks that were deliberatly placed in the centre of the map by the developers.

Yes they intended them to render you practically invulnerable to the boss just because they put it there :rolleyes:

Please, thats the lamest attempt at validating a glitch ever.
 
Man you are unbearable when you're like this. So the intended use of rocks is for weapons and abilities to travel right through them as if they didn't exist? And the only way to defeat any enemy is to stand in front of it and soak up all it's damage?

rocket launcher is useless side on, you need a fast fire sniper....Acid i think, you have to blast at his side wounds in zoom with very accurate high damage gun fire, dont miss the ``white`` wounds or you wont damage him at all, this is similar to Crawmerax's purple spots, your gunfire has to be deadly accurate..... do not let him stand in front of you face to face
 
I'm not even against he fact that you find more challenge in facing an enemy head on. Fair play to you, but to immediately dismiss any other way of playing the game is ridiculous. It was the same with DAO, i remember. Don't fire fireballs into a room if you're not in there yourself! Thats just cheating!

Yeah thats exactly what I said :rolleyes:

Clearly you've already decided on it being perfectly legit 'because its possible' so go right ahead, remove all challenge from the games final boss if you really want to. Don't let me stop you. Just please stop acting like it was intended.

Whats DA:O got to do with anything? :confused: And how is taking unaware enemies by surprise unintended?

Edit: Axtons turret REALLY likes to shoot down Rakk during that fight instead of targeting the boss >< And oddly enough the boss dropped an orange Mechromancer 'Handsome Jack' head skin.

Tbh I don't even know what rock formation you're on about. Tons of em around there that provide plenty of cover against the warrior. Don't see why you'd need to use a bugged one.

Its not a bugged one, i never said it was :/

No that is true you didn't. You did however phrase it to sound exactly like one.

'Use the set of rocks near the controls and I did it without taking any damage'
and
'Use cover effectively and you can do it without taking much, if any, damage'
come across very differently.

Particularly when I was doing it and he'd occasionally pound the floor and send me flying even when I was behind cover so maybe 'no damage' was an exaggeration too?
 
Just looking through some guides how to get legendary weapons and sniper rifles such as the invader involves killing the Saturn. I recently did recently that and no drop was found.

What gives?
 
I lost shields but took no health damage. If i remember the floor pound sends you directly backwards so you control where you fly based on where you're facing.

There's only a chance that a legendary would drop, it isn't guaranteed.

Though saying that I've only ever had one legendary and that was from Saturn the first time I killed it. :p
 
Legendaries have a small (read, almost negligible) chance to drop from all regular enemies but certain bosses have a much higher chance of dropping a certain one.

Only exception is Terramorphous who is guaranteed to drop a Slayer of Terramorphous class mod. Only its completely random as to what class it is.
 
You're forced to jump onto rocks by the game as the lava starts to rise iirc? It's hardly cheating. I believe I jumped up on the rocks in the centre then just unloaded on the warrior with my best sniper. If you damage it enough it goes back under the lava before attacking you. Then the only real thing I took damage from was the crystal monster things dotted about.

I know what you mean about the turret targeting rakks, that's all mine shot at, but I guess that keeps them off you when you're trying to aim at the warriors chest area for crits.

i found that when I didn't damage the warrior enough and it did get me with its tail i was in ffyl immediately, but luckily my turret was busy killing Rakks so secondwinded easy enough :D.


Also the Warrior is pretty much guaranteed to drop a legendary each time you press that button to kill it. I tried farming it after I had done the story about 30 times and didn't get a single legendary. My mate copied a save just before the Warrior battle and get s a legendary each time. So if you are after a certain weapon I'd advise to copy your save file and then keep killing it till you get the legendary weapon you desire.

Thing is the Rakk don't even attack you unless you shoot in there direction :p

It is handy for kill skills. I had Onslaught so every time it gunned down a Rakk I'd get bonus damage/move speed to help me with killing the Warrior (using my Fibber :p)

I've heard the Warrior drops better loot the first time you kill it. I think my Soldier just got owned then because it dropped an Orange Handsome Jack head for the Mechromancer >< Fail legendary.
 
Just hit 50, spent 7 keys, got some alright stuff. Just hit the area where you have to crawl through the pipeline, might farm the guy for Bee for a while first.

yes but last night he dropped nothing that special, i had to kill him twice until he dropped a single sniper rifle.... he dropped way more loot for Zero.

right then, i got the Firehawk shield at level 50...no big deal, it's only at 35000 so Salvador goes down all the time ! it's funny at first and then you get sick of it, it Nova blasts up to 8 times :eek: my exsiting shield is 60 000 and of course he stays on his feet miles longer in a fight, so i aint so sure about Firehawk.

the only thing i can say for it is that it destroys everything close by, even acid barrels/ gas tanks in the distance, it killed two super badass shielded guys at level 52, plus 3 big bullies in one go, it really wallops them !

the Firehawk is a weapon only; not a shield, because it's Krap as a shield, you have to make yourself a human grenade and thus plan your attacks accordingly.

i also got the talking AI shotty, it's useless, only 3500 damage, my first talking shotty was way better, in comparison; my other shottys are all over 6000 damage now because they need to be !

overall i'm not happy with Salvador, he just doesn't seem to get the loot like Zero did, plus he isn't as good with the sniper, so i'll switch back to Zero soon, thank God i didn't give Conference Call away..

i updated Borderlands saturday and since then i've noticed less gear being dropped, i expect they've patched the game again, because this game doesn't drop weapons anything like the 1st game did.

Anyone else getting crashes when the game "updates" when you boot it up?
Click to expand...

mine crashes quite bad now, usually in Salvation, but it also crashed real bad at Captain Flynts, it's about the same as the old Fallout 3, there is nothing wrong with your rig it's the game only.

he also gets stuck on the ground/ looses the last save/ respawns miles away, the list of faults in this game is massive, but i wont complain too much here because their forum is the best place to complain
