I don't run into that one, but I hated that I can't Mark As Junk with a single button press, it's Mark > scroll down > Junk. Very inelegant

Just pick the item up as junk as you add it to the backpack. Killer new feature. Down on the D-pad instead of X/Square or whatever it normally is. But yeah, when I don't do that the "Mark > scroll down > Junk" is clunky AF. The menu system was clearly designed for PC gamers and console gamers were an afterthought.

I have an annoying glitch that I'm running into over and over. I'll pick something up and I can't find it by using the inventory screen (to swap weapons/items). I'll switch over to the backpack and sometimes it'll be mixed in there instead where I have to click it to swap weapons. Then sometimes it's not there either and I gotta just close the menu altogether and reopen to magically see the items I picked up. It happens more often with the shields & grenades. I only keep my current active one of each (I don't hoard items in this game/series). So when I pick up a new shield or grenade it should be the easiest thing to find and swap. Nope, not there. It does eventually show up, but it's annoying.

*Edit- I'm an idiot and/or the menu is just poorly done. The menu scroll is defaulting to the bottom where no items are.

No, you can. Click right stick. Problem is when I do that, I encounter my glitch I posted about

Didn’t know that. Super-useful, thanks. And I already have the R thumbstick shortcut on my L back button already.

Another annoying thing. Trying to use golden key. It gives me a "transaction in process" message. Only way to get it to work is to completely quit the game and then restart it.

Speaking of which, more SHIFT codes valid for 48 hrs

man, i forgot how hard this is in the beginning when you have virtually no gear. I'm up to a flying mini-boss and barely have a shield. certainly, don't have one that recharges. just a few handguns. blah.

They hand out loot at an absurd clip in this game. Just keep playing.

man, you aren't kidding. i killed a mini-boss and finally got some purple gear and can use skill points now.

Yeah, loot (and Ammo) comes at such a clip that I have no use for money. I used to get pissed when I died and it cost me a lot of my money, but now I don't really care as I can't find much of a use for money (plus selling weapons is like half the gameplay with these loot drops).

Wait until you fight a mine mini-boss that is invisible in a giant cave. It literally took 25 minutes and I ran out of ammo. :lol:

And I am not even joking. It took 25 minutes for real.

Shadowpelt is the name. Here is a reddit thread about how awful it is lol

If these codes keep coming at this clip, I really have no reason to horde them. I think I will use one every few levels. The online guides say wait to redeem them until you're at least level 40 or the goods will be useless too quickly, but if those keys keep coming, I might as well cash some in sooner.

remember B3 had that glitch where you could get unlimited keys. i used a shit ton. or maybe it was Tiny Tina's Adventure. Either way that's a hell of a lot.

This is what I do. Basically every 2 to 3 levels, I use one..

Started this yesterday and I was reminded that I haven't played a FPS in a long time :lol:

I always play as a Siren my first time through so I went with Vex. I'm enjoying it so far, but had to stop when I made it to Claptrap;s spot on the beach so I haven't played much yet.

I have an i7-9700 and a 4070 super and this game is near impossible to play without lag/dropped frames at almost any resolution.

I stumbled into a boss battle last night and proceeded to get my ass kicked a few times before bailing. It's a triple boss battle called the Pitted Stain. You fight all three (Hank, Sal and Frank) at once. It was obnoxious. I clearly need some better weapons.

Mimicron has been my toughest boss battle so far. Took forever to decimate that shield.
