Borderlands

hmm, i hate skags. i cant wait to meet the mother of all skags and put a slug in it.

they seem to be getting bigger and badder the further i progress in the game. cant wait for the final skag showdown!

Aye, the badass Skags totally trounce me. Collecting the bladeflowers was incredibly troublesome. :D

ah, if thats a quest, i've not done that yet. :o i used to struggle on whelp skags let alone the bigger ones lol.


i cant wait to get home from work :( im just getting the mining key from a hideout at the moment.
 
How did you get on with your rocket launcher and Bonehead? ;)

not as good as i thought it would be, i bought the launcher thinking "great, he stands no chance now!" yeh, little did i realise, after buying it, it was more of a shield depleting shock rocket than a killing one. :(

i did kill him though. after the rocket launcher completely failed (and it had a very slow reload time!) i threw a few bouncing betties at him then just brawled and punched him to death. i had to run away from the bruisers though.

:D

LOL! That was what happened to me, too which is why I didn't say anything further yesterday. In the end, I used the rockets to deplete his shield and then threw my port-a-turret down and used an assault rifle. VERY tough that mission.

:eek: :mad: :rolleyes: :D

im glad you didn't say anything actually, heh. i still have that launcher though, didnt want to sell it as it cost me a bomb :(

ive started finding machine guns and revolvers now, not that they're any good for my character.

Revolvers are awesome. I've got one that has near perfect accuracy and does 500 damage per hit.

damn thats good. i think brick isn't that good at using revolvers. im not sure though.. i have a revolver that does 288 damage, but i need to be level 16, and it only holds 2 rounds heh. might as well be a sniper!
 
So when this game first appeared, it touted the combination of 16 million different weapons or something like that. But is this purely with the game generating different weaponry in crates and stuff? You can't buy a basic gun and then mod it with your own stuff like accuracy, zoom, number of rounds, etc?
 
To the above posters, Bonehead is quite hard to take out. I think the main problem is the sheild he has. You need to deplete that, then get some serious damage done. It may be a case of doing this in stanges to get his health down.

If you charge in there, he will take you down. I had to resort to a rather powerful sniper rifle, one shot to take out his sheild, then a second or third to cause him damage. Of course, then his sheild regenerates and you are often re-loading at the same time.

However, I don't have that problem with anyone now. 3x Electric Sniper Rifle that does 150 damage and 98% acurracy! Electric weapns just go through the sheild and the enemy takes damage instantly.

One of my fave weapons at the minute is a Revolver with 70 damage and 4x Zoom with Scope! That's more zoom than the sniper! In fact, it's over twice the zoom!!!
 
loving the game currently lvl20 soldier ,one things bugging the hell outta me in firestone u can jump up onto the weapon shops roof ,theres an arrow on it and if u look where the arrow is pointing theres a claptrap robot how do u get at him?

I spent about 10 minutes going through the camp on the other side to find a way up there. Couldn't find anything. I looked online and people are saying its an easter egg. Not sure if that's true - would be cool if it did something amazing.

Let me know if you find anything!

You will soon, without spoiling it, you get to take down a HUGE one in a arena for a quest :D

All I am going to say is... keep moving, do not stop lol

edit: Really want to start the game over now I know how the game works, and play as the hunter, but not sure, seems most of the fighting situations lean towards the soldier...

Isn't that stating the obvious though Agnes? I mean, a Solider is meant to be good in fighting situtations. Just like the Brick should also take a hell of a lot of damage and the Hunter should be good from distance etc.
 
i spent ages looking for a route up n werent happening thats why its bugging me and i hate the invisible wall that stops u jumpin over the rocks.
 
I thought the Soldier was the best support class really. The turret gives loads of supplies, health and ammo etc.

I even have a perk that gives ammo without the turret!
 
as for that big thing (some kind of roid monster or something) in the arena

OMG took me a lot of attempts to get that even worse is that upon death sometimes there is no enemy's spawned others all of em.

might be a class related problem i was having im playing as the sniper class.

Well Sniper is a support class, not really supposed to solo tank the bosses and most bosses don't have bits where you can just stand and shoot from afar.

Might want to consider developing a backup skill such as Shotty for up close and personal.
 
Chose Siren class and its provign to be fun seems an all round type from what ive played, Currently level 19 and cleared all of Arid badlands just started second sector now :D

Yea, heed this advice, always build up a third weapon, like I have just lvl'd up a hunter to 11, main weps are now sniper and shotty, will start a smg for my third, so will use it every now and then and buy ammo upgrades so in boss fights I can just spam away.

Btw, as for the hunter, I love it :D Will stick to this class now. Great fun :D No idea what skill tree to take though, only took me a hour and 30 to get to 11 so am flying through skill points :(
