Wish i'd found this before finishing my playthrough: Way to see more than 4 bonuses on weapons

Wonder how many I threw away not knowing just how good they were.

Good find. Yes, that is annoying! Would explain why some guns cost so much, but dont appear to be better than others. They are, its just the stats are hidden :rolleyes:

On the subject of guns.. Are there any specialist shops or suppliers, or it is all through the vending machines/drops?

Well, there are 5 chests*, so your getting at the very least 10 weapons, I've got some pretty damn good stuff out of it, my shot gun revolver which can one shot anything but a badass among them.

*Technicaly there are 7 chests but 2 are in a secret room, I have seen it on the 360 but haven't checked if its on the PC as they are only accessable during one quest and I managed to miss it during my 1st play through.

If you want farming it is all about a 4 person coop team in the run before the vault

. Huge XP, huge loot.

Haven't been able to try coop yet as for some reason that port forwarding malarky won't work with my router, still trying to figure out how to do it. Enjoying the single player though so for now it's ok.

Do you have to do port forwarding to be able to invite players into your game?

I've tried to invite two people so far. One worked fine, the other couldn't join/connect. I've not done anything on my router!

the port forwarding is a pain in the behind. the forwarding setup is normally near the firewall setup, have the ports forwarded to your STATIC ip address. then add the forwarding rules to your firewall for in and outgoing connections. then test the ports are open with an app. once confirmed you will be ok.

ps: if you are hosting go to the lobby and start the game - then invite, seems to work better that way

Do we have a definative list of what has to be forwarded?

To host an online game, the following ports need to be opened / pushed to the host's internal IP address:
Quote:
7777 (TCP/UDP)
28900 (TCP)
27900 (UDP)
28910 (TCP)

I did these and it sorted it.
