Re: Borderlands

argh somehow I lost my gun. I must have held X too long while picking up loot and it swapped out my main gun with some crappy gun. My inv was full so I am assuming it just dropped my gun on the ground somewhere or it disapeared. I tried back tracking for about 15 minutes and couldn't find the damn thing. At least I am only level 31 so it would have been replaced sooner or later.

Re: Borderlands

Are you stuck because of the glitch trick in the armory? I assumed they wouldn't fix that because of it's nature.

Why are you complaining...I know for a fact you can take "Craw" down almost blindfolded in less than a minute.....by the way how are those "Penatrators" working...

i'm stuck because of the quests with that. i have the 2 after it, which means i won't be able to finish the first quest. just makes me mad.

and Buzz, i can't take out crawermax by myself. i need someone to distract him while i shoot him. he kills hunters fast. but the penetrators are a ton of fun, haven't played with them much though. may do it some this week when i'm helping a friend. i should get my siren leveled pretty good this weekend too

Well if you're looking for someone who can distract....it's my specialty. I think my friend dupauls has been doing the same thing when he's got nothing else...beat "Craw" like 12 times in a day but he said he got killed "a few times". He used the 100% Critical with "Bessee" Sniper. I've got both my Beserker (57) and Soldier(56) going to get to 61. I've still got Salt Flats and Crimsom Fastness to finish 2nd time with Beserker and Siren. If you get to that point may ask if I can tag along.

Re: Borderlands

i'm lovin this game, don't get me wrong, but my hang up comes with so many choices and options with weapons and shields and class mods.

i mix and match and not sure if there are tried and true ones that work consistently on all enemiesm which i have learned don't.

i love my purple double anarchy smg and always have that equipped. then at least a shotgun or two (explosive one, shield killer one), use various snipers for long distance. just gets all consuming when new ones are offered at the shops and more magazine capacity costs a lot as well. can't even keep 100k in my wallet.

i know someone mentioned to not get hung up on all the weapons, but it is really hard not to.

Re: Borderlands

Just don't get married to any weapon or mod since a much better one will come along shortly - and a lot of them won't necessarily reveal how great they are through their stats - you have use them and play around with them 'till you can tell when one is better than the other even though it's stats might not be.

Re: Borderlands

is there no way to get something back that i sold and then exitted a game? it was not in my buyback menu when i turned on again, so i am sure i am SOL.

i sold Wee Wee's Super Booster shield before i read about the hidden health properties and read it was one of the best shields in the game...

Re: Borderlands

I didn't realize wee wee's shield was considered good. That low capacity doesn't seem worth it for the regen properties.

Re: Borderlands

Wee Wee's shield was excellent for that point in the game and for quite a ways after that. I think I kept and used it for quite some time.

i now switch between 2:
1) 407 capacity, pretty good recharge acid burst shield with no health regen
2) 164 capacity panacea shield, 22 rate of recharge, quick health regen

you'll find a better one soon enough. mine is over 2000, 250+ recharge and quick health. trust me, just keep playing. at your level (anything below a cap), it doesn't matter, there's something better in the next chest!

thanks. also, when a class mod says "Team Health Regeneration" or "Team Shield Recharge Rate" does that only pertain to when you are playing with someone or multiplayer and won't do anything in single campaign?

I'm sure that even as a team-of-one, you're still a team. Either way, that's pretty easy to test, isn't it?

Ah. Anyway, I'm 99.99999991598% sure that team skills are active even in solo play.

Re: Borderlands

Yeah they are. Just note that some of them are hard to prove (find more rare items). Ammo Regen/Shields/Health all work and area easily able to judge.
