No...they are both rewards for story missions, and you get them at HQ.

it was my friend via e-mail. He said the whole "community" was up in arms about it and the patches didn't work (made things worse?) He was so upset, he returned the game.

Sorry about posting hearsay!

It just seems odd that 1800 posts here and not a single mention of it. Everyone here has finished the game, and most everyone here more than a couple times.

No, you still buy the backpack upgrade from the Black Market dealer. He was just stating the backpack upgrade is the one over on the right hand side "where the deal of the day would be on a vending machine".

We tried to do the Mega Bug Boss, Vermivorous last night but I have a feeling we didn't do something right since we couldn't get him to spawn (Tundra Express).

Don't you have to "engage" them, like just keep running around, firing in the air and occasional at them to get him to spawn from the Super Badass? I don't think we did it enough but they kept spitting on us even if we didn't fire at them taking us down.

That's more or less the technique. I've tried it once with 4 players, and after multiple attempts, the most we ever got was a pair of Ultimate Badasses at the same time, but neither of them would morph. We eventually gave up.

The progression is larva > adult > badass > super badass > ultimate badass > Vermivorous

That's what I thought and we tried about 4-5 times last night. We had no problem getting the Ultimate Badass ones. At one point we had (3) of them and (5) Super's. I think we retreated too fast but like I said; we were getting pelted with the spitting and two hits basically took your shields down and left you with about 10% of your life.

I watched a Youtube video of someone where he got them at Level 27 & 50. He was playing on the PC and using some mod where it fooled the game into 'seeing" four players. He did it over at the farm house and did just that...just run around in circles, firing in the air and tagging them here & there. What I couldn't understand is they just poked him not really spitting much at all. We tried with three last night. We're going to try again tonight and see.

5 golden keys!!

Thanks for the codes....now if they can expand the levelup I'll be happy. I've used a few with the three other charac ters but now back to (20) total.

We got around to try and get Vermivorous last night and after about four attempts finally get the beast. All this bit about being not to bad to take down went out the window. Four of us at Level 50 took almost 10-14 minutes to take down. And some of the videos I saw of this didn't never show how fast he can move when he wanted to. After all that he didn't drop hardly nothing...no heads, no Pink, no special anything.

We also did Terramorpheous to see what the new update did and found out the hard way. We all might as well been Level 40. We all died about 5-6 times and could've been worse if not for two Sirens using "Rise from the Grave" and one Mechromancer with healing from the Mech. The increased health made it much harder and longer to take out; about 15 minutes. But we were trying to get the one Borderlands symbol in there to but wasn't able to. Still a big difference than what he was last week.

Yeah, I was shocked when Terramorphous killed me the other day. Once I got back into my technique and was more careful, it was fine and just took longer, but he definitely caught me off guard.

You still pretty much have to use the Bee, as his health bar is just absurd and nothing else does the DPS. They also did something to the Bee/shotgun combo or maybe specifically to the Conference Call. I now use Infinity Pistols and I've found that the Sand Hawk is a pretty good gun with the Bee for boss purposes.

Good work getting Vermivorous to spawn. I gave up partly because he was such a pain in the arse to spawn and partly because every video I've seen of him spawning has him dropping nothing interesting whatsoever.

Yea...we too think they did something to the Conference Call Shotguns. A friend I play with a lot was able to use The Bee W/ Conference Calls and take Terramorpous down in less than 5min by-himself last week...not anymore

As to Vermivorous, we were actually lucky. Everything we read said if it hadn't spawned within the 4-6 minutes then quite and start again. It didn't spawn until about 10 minutes after we started and killed almost everything there. the Ultimater was the last one and just when we were about to quite several of the normal ones appeared and a few minutes later the Ultimate just spawned out-of-the-blue. We did it right where you enter Tundra Express and not the Farm House.

I thought the update, in regards to the Bee's amp, was, that if the amp was 50k, it is now 50k per pull of the trigger instead of per pellet. So with the conference call, and all shotguns, instead of getting 50k amp to each pellet it's divided between the pellets, so a shotgun that has five pellets the amp is 50k divided 5 so 10 k per pellet instead of the previous 50k per pellet or 250k if all pellets connect. What made the conference call/bee combo great was that the cc pellets would split over time thus adding more amp and the high accuracy meant a lot of the pellets hit.

From a Tweet by Adam Fletcher and RT by Kristy Pitchford: Borderlands 2 level cap increase is planned for Q1 next year.

This game is kicking my a$$. I can only remember dying this much when I was playing through the later levels of Call of Duty in the first game.

Hmmm. The new DLC hits January 15th. I may just wait to play it until the cap is increased.

Yeah, I'm on my second playthrough (lvl 41) trying to level up some more and ran across a Thresher boss (forgot name) and lost 400k trying to take him out. Wilhelm took a few tries too. Still sucks losing so much money for dying.

Three of us did the Hyperion Monster Mash last night and even with three Level 50 characters at times it did give us a good challenge

I've got 19 Golden Keys and may use a couple for the other characters but I want to hear more on the possible raising of the Level Cap. Like to how much...will it be raised again for another DLC like they did in the first one.

I think I'll go back to the other characters and get them up to near level 50. It's like why finish any missions for a Level 50 character now when later on the XP might actually count toward raising your level up?

This is what is killing me, I really love my 50 Siren, but I can't play any of these DLCs because they are basically worthless without some reward.

Borderlands 2 Raising Level Cap Soon, More DLC Planned

what level do you finish the game at?

also, i am confused over the weapon stats.
what does it mean when the damage says something like 102x6?
Does that mean each shot does 612 damage?

It means that the weapon shoots out 6 pellets/rockets/etc and each will do 102 base damage. If all hit, then it would be 612 damage.
