Yeah, well that's the kind of attitude I'm talking about. Its nice if the game wants you to find him.

>>164619
Borderlands Wiki says he has a high chance of spawning from BOXES around Hyperion areas: Opportunity, Hero's Pass, Wildlife Exploitation Preserve, or the base in Thousand Cuts.

Got around to the Fridge, decided to clean up my side quests bar. Ended up going through the maze, decided to go all the way to see what Rakkman is like in TVHM.
>That feel when Rakkman Forever
GOTYAY

Also it's kind of neat that when you start doing over one hundred thousand in damage, instead of showing that redonkulously huge number, it abbreviates it to ###K. Found a 9355 damage sniper rifle, was hitting for about 125k criticals.

>>164633
Yeah, I found him in the Wildlife Exploitation Preserve.
>>164632
Sorry, didn't intend to rub it in.

>>164633
Now imagine that damage output combined with a badass bonus of about +30%. Not including any elemental or crit damage buffs.

Oh my God.

So is anyone able to play with Scarlet yet? I didn't have steam on but for some reason my season pass hasn't activated it yet.

Does anyone know anything more about that supposed leaked PC concept? A desert bandit named Dhakir or something?

Remember to exit and restart steam if you're having trouble downloading the new DLC. I've just started and am already having fun both legitimately and with the hilarious invisible walls you can walk on about the area. The sand boat is as awesome as people claim it to be.

Handsome Jack honestly reminds me of GLaDOS in how I find myself putting serious thought into how much of their (hilariously unreliable) word lines up with the actuality. Case in point: at first I rolled with the straightforward story that Angel had killed Jack's wife, until someone brought up the possibility of Jack doing it himself, at which point I was hit with growing horror at how it would be completely in-character for him to do that and resort to "look what you've made me do" to put the blame on someone else.

On a tangent, someone should totally recreate Jack in Saints Row.

This shit is like real life creepypasta.

>>164949
People are calling it a virus, but it seems to me it's more like a glitched hardcore "no deaths" mode being forced onto your profile. I have IRL friends screaming at me not to play with other online friends but I'm seriously questioning that logic. Perhaps playing in multiplayer increases the likelihood that the glitch will happen, but this isn't an actual infection running rampant.

Oh I guess I was wrong... Gearbox already commented and stated it was malicious in origin.

>>164953
I guess this is likely from some shithead that doesn't like duping or other things that make the game "too easy".

Not gonna greentext these, cause greentexted spoilers fuck up, but
->Jack's genuinely panic-stricken voice when you're killing his daughter
->killing Angel, the only fucking good-hearted character in the series
->Roland's death
->everyone's reactions to Roland's death

>>164958
no seriously I'm tearing up a little at that proverb and
fuck this game

>>164959
Well maybe you haven't gotten there yet but To Grandmother's House We Go is easily the most horrifying sidemission in the game. Though it doesn't feel it until you play again.

When everyone is broken as fuck, no one is.

>Added the ability to reset all challenge progress for a character once they've completed 85% of all non-DLC, non-area-specific challenge levels. This will keep the player's current challenge bonuses and rank, but reset all challenge progress to 0 and allow challenges to be re-completed for additional ranks and bonuses. Resetting is available on the "challenges" screen of the status menu and will display as a tooltip at the bottom of the screen if the player has met the criteria.

So if I'm reading that right, once you get 85% of the challenges done, you can zero them all out, but keep the badass ranks and earn more of them on top of the originals?

>>165154
Sounds like it. I guess they realized that while some people will make a bunch of characters for badass ranks some people like using the same people over and over again.

10 golden keys get.
Now to wait until I hit the level cap.

>>165200
Got the 10 too... although I accidentlyd one of them today...

You know, if they add weapon crafting BL2 is going to become pretty much the most addictive game possible for me.

>playing through my second time as Zero
>melee skills are starting to add up and make a noticeable difference
>find a gun with +50% melee damage
>I'd forgotten those existed
And then Slowpoke committed a bayonet-based massacre.

>>165523
Pirate's Booty DLC has a unique gun that does 200% melee damage. You read that right; outright DOUBLE DAMAGE MELEE. It's part of the cursed set, so it also makes you really really weak to melee attacks in return.

oh
oh I didn't know you lost all your Anarchy when you died
but
but I had 250 stacks
i was death incarnate...

Well that's incredibly unfortunate. Guess I'll roll with the middle skill tree then, if I can ever find shock weapons.

With the new empty achievement slots and this twitter post, it seems like there's a new Borderlands 2 DLC on the way.

"THIS IS MISTER TORGUE COMIN AT YOU FROM PANDORA I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS FIRSTLY ARE YOU READY TO BLOW SOME SH*T UP AND SECONDLY HOW ARE THINGS"

>>New DLC is now out
>>Look on the map for the new location
>>Badass Crater of Badassitude
And just like that, Mr. TORGUE became one of my new favorite characters.
Also, I'm now shipping Mr. Torgue and Dr. Tannis because of the first bit. I blame everyone here for these actions.

Not only DLC, but it's on the Apple App Store if you only have a Mac. So get on buying that shit.

I can't be the only one to have been reminded of Aperture Science's "60 dollars" posters.

>"I kind of like the fan theory that Handsome Jack is a ClapTrap gijinka."
...Damn, can't unsee.

Before I buy this, may I have something answered? How's the console split-screen? I'm hoping it won't be that hard to experience the story in co-op.

VGA's happened, shift codes fall like rain.

>>167293
WHERE
and are they still active?

>>167294
Gearbox posts them on their Twitter. Five for each console, active all weekend.
https://twitter.com/GearboxSoftware

so all of my friends have either stopped playing or our schedules never match up.
How decent is the game if you go solo?

>>167329
I prefer it to multiplayer, but that's because all my friends think it's some sort of motherfuckin' racecar game and blitz through missions like nobody's business.
I like being able to take my time, and explore, and see what the world has to offer, even though I've played through it like 9 times.

You could go into the menu to cancel that.

According the Hey Ash Twitch TV stream, Handsome Jack is named after Captain Jack Harkness. I like him even more now.

>>167629
Really? Curious, was there any reasoning given? It was said in one podcast that Handsome Jack was a placeholder name that never ended up being replaced, but that isn't mutually exclusive.

>>167631
I'm not sure, to be honest. He was streaming Guns of Icarus Online, and he used "What episode of Doctor Who does Handsome Jack's name come from?" as a question, and the winner got a GoI key. He mentioned again that it was a placeholder name, but not why. I do follow their Twitch, so I can totally ask him next time.

>resume my Zero run
>tfw hitting 50k on melee hits without Deception
Feels good to be a melee class in a shootin' game.

Threw this game in again with two of my friends last night and got up to where Sanctuary gets phase shifted.
I miss this game so much and it's not even half as fun solo. Although it's aggravating as shit when you're in fight for your life mode and you're about to finish off the last enemy for a second wind only to have one of your buddies snipe it causing you to bleed out.

>Gearbox is going to release a new playthrough on April 2. Its called Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode and its for free, it will come with an update to the black market, thus increasing storage capacity. Also being released on April 2 is a level cap raise pack, which includes pearlescent weapons(free for season pass holders, $5.00 for everyone else)

About time.

>>171398
... really should have bought that pass

>>171418
I made the mistake of thinking Injustice would be good. Then I also bought the pass for it.

Learn from my mistake. Don't buy "season passes"... or NRS games.
