Borderlands 2 release date confirmed ( Launch trailer also )

[Mark A]

I found the Commando easier in the earlier levels than Maya. Never played Gunzerker but I'd imagine the turrets would help if you're struggling with it.

In the later levels though the turret doesn't really help all that much. It is very useful as a decoy though and also can **** enemies if you use the left tree. I actually stopped using the turret after lv20 as I wanted to raise my badass points and the turret does steal a lot of kills early on.

It's useful to drop if you think you're close to going down as it will often get you a secondwind. Plus Axton has a skill that gives you something like 60% gun damage in ffyl which was a great help. Seems much harder to get second winds with maya.

All the Bees i get are so bad

But you get Badass Rank for killing enemies with your action skill

The turret can be very hit n miss. Sometimes it'll take a beating for the whole duration its out, other times it'll be destroyed within 5 seconds. It seems to go down VERY quickly against corrosive and explosive damage and some strong melee enemies. But I've gone down the first tree and given it more Missile Pods, a second Gun and Sl@g bullets which gives it a pretty good amount of firepower. I still find it quite useful though even at lvl38 against enemies higher level than me.

Can't beat a good phaselock though sometimes. Think it depends more on what gear you have for the character early on and whether it works well with your action skill.

What is a 'good' Bee?

19k Cap, 50k+ Amp and Immunity. All im getting ar 12-13k caps with 35k Amp and no immunity.

Oddly.. they're all Level 48 too despite being on PT2.5

i think to get the better ones you need more peeps with you, if your solo it only ever seems to drop the lvl48 one

 

[mohawk]

i managed to get a level 49 from solo, but never with an immunity, need to try a team kill loot run on him!

 

[Evilsod]

**** it, I was gonna upload a screenshot but seems Steam is constantly screwing up when I upload it.

Why aren't you looking for recharge delay? Mines got 21k shield and a 52k amp but a 5.32s recharge delay. As for the immunity, I really don't care tbh, it doesn't exactly give you much extra protection in normal use and its gotta be stupidly rare to drop with it.

 

[DampCat]

Im not fussed about immunity, i was just illustrating the difference between a good and bad Bee. I want a 50k+ amp. Im not going to squabble over 4k capacity either, if im dropping from 50k shield to 20k shield by equipping The Bee another 4k isnt going to make much difference.

The 2 chapters i have played co-op, i have found people to be very selfish, they were picking everything up before you could get a sniff at it.

I know what you are going to say next, play with friends, but i dont have any that play this game online, i had to play with 4 german guys, and the next game was 4 french guys.....

 

[horseunderwater]

if you can stand it there is a piece of software thats cheats the game in to thinking there are more players than you solo

 

[Mark A]

But you get Badass Rank for killing enemies with your action skill

Is that really confusing? I had got the 100 points for that well before lv20. Like I said, the turret takes a lot of the kills.

I didn't even know that the main badass points transferred to another character so I was maxing all of them out.

Scumbag Warrior. Drops Legendary Shotgun. Flakker.

False.

I understand & to be honest i would never play a game like BL with randoms, its mates or solo to me.

 

[EL_JOCK]

False.

OK

So you were playing 5 player games?

 

[Dave****]

Don't think he was talking about Borderlands

 

[Ripcord]

LOL just seen the mistake, yes it was 3 others

 

[Mal X]

Evilsod and i will game with you, but i expect he'll bitch at me because my new guns are now way too powerful............ ha ha

but he's right, those massive 18000 Splatguns are totally useless, they're even worst than BOOM STICK.

 

[Ripcord]

Would anyone be willing to drop a conference call shotgun on the floor, so that i could accidently pick it up? i could trade a orange grenade mod, thats all i have found up to now.

I know it sounds cheeky, but someone may have a kind heart
