Borderlands 2

[coderunknown]

I think this game becomes much much difficult if you play this in co-op. It reminds me of limbo. Keep on dying until you find a way or your luck favors you.

no of player is directly proportional to enemy level. but thats how co op should be.

now the wait begins for June 25th

this is why i love playing Borderlands (2). you never get bored.

for playing DLCs we need to complete the game first or DLCs can be played ( if installed ) form the beginning of the game ??

 

[Faun]

^^I think you need to enter the specific areas to start DLCs.

 

[topgear]

all right .. I've completed BL2 before but don't have the backups of save file so there could be an issue with leveling up as I need to play the game from beginig again or enetr specific DLC area for leveling up .. anyway, thanks for the info.

 

[thetechfreak]

Entered Caustic Cavern. It's by far the hardest thing I've encountered.

@Topgear You don't need to backup files. Steam has cloud backup for Borderlands 2. So install from Steam and continue

my guess is DLC will have 30-35 level. the new one can be 50+. so greeting a level 50+ goliath by a level 1 player may not have the best outcome.

or you can try completing the game using Kreig this time if you are a fan of melee attacks.

don't waste time fighting crystalline unless you have to. simply gun and then run.

found an excellent spot for farming God-liath (Goliath > Badass > Super Badass > Ultimate > God-liath). Bug Gulch, just backside of Ellie's garage. At the far end are 3 house/church. in top most house a Goliath spawns almost every time. Thanks to an insane supply of spiderants he can be leveled up with minimal difficulty as all his buddies will also be busy battling spiderants and then farm him for Eridium, Blue and also Pink weapons. Received 4 eridium bars, 2 blue and a pink weapon

also the place is home to The Black Queen (a spiderant miniboss) which mayn't spawn everytime and if killed may drop the most powerful rocket launcher in the whole game (Nukem. a nuclear rocket launcher). also near that place are 2 more minibosses: Gettle (chance to drop Lyuda) and Mobley (chance to drop Veruc). all in all this place is a gem for farming uniquie/legendary stuff.

 

[thetechfreak]

@Sam Thanks for that. Will try to get the "Kill goliath after 4 level ups" achievement there

 

[coderunknown]

beware of the black queen though. any projectile thing (rocket, bullets) will bounce off her armor and will do critical damage to you. instead use the turret and then throw explosive/fire grenade preferably with 0.x sec timer so it goes up as soon as it lands.

there are 4 more places suitable to get god-liath:

1. visit the small oasis near that buzzard camp. a goliath (sometimes a badass goliath or a goliath + a midget goliath) spawns there. just between the oasis and the camp are a bunch of spiderants which the goliath can kill to level up. problem is there are multiple tactical roaming that area and at any time 2 buzzards hover the camp. so leveling up a goliath in this kind of circumstances won't be easy. add to that, one hit from a tactical and you are gone.

2. "Moonshine" camp is even better as it too spawns a Goliath along with a bunch of bandits. weaken the gun welding bandits and he'll finish them off. in the front as well as side i guess are spiderants that he'll finish off in no time becoming Ultimate if not God-liath.

3. wait till you met the slab king in thousand cuts. you'll have 10-12 goliath at your arsenal with even more midgets and psycos. knock off all the helmets and you'll have a completely out of control fights where you'll surely find 2-3 God-liath. just be sure to keep running. Avoid thunderous slam (when Goliath raises both hand and slam into the ground) at all cost. he'll not only level up, you shield and health will turn 0 in an instant.

4. Frink's slaughterhouse. perfect for getting God-liath (as well as becoming a punchbag).

Doing side missions currently. Almost completed all of them in Sanctuary.

The missions by Sir Hammerlock seem to be ridiculously difficult. Even the ones marked "Trivial" need us to go to the Caustic Caverns and kill all the strange creatures there.

If we were given cars in the Caustic caverns it would've been lot better

absolutely true. Slappy-happy and Symbioses are really difficult mission even in tribal difficulty. wonder what kind of mission are there in Hammerlocks big game hunt.

haha. same feeling first time i visit that place. but great place for cleaning up achievements.

@TTF,

black queen. grenade did quick work of her

 

[thetechfreak]

Wow. Haven't had the opportunity to fight those beasts yet.
Doing Scooter side missions now. Not that hard, sending me repeatedly to the fridge. Not very hard though.

@Sam although my level is less the bird mission wasn't that hard. Just died once due to my stupidity.
Second time I hit it with 6 or 7 continuous Critical sniper headshots with a corrosion rifle that reduced its health.

Reached a new area called "Lynchwood"
The area is HUGE. Supply of enemies is more or less unlimited here. The passage of trains also makes it fun

Completed the mission of delivering note to Brick and subsequently he joins the raiders. Killing his endless number of Goliaths was challenging and quite interesting to. For the first time I met a Godliath(leveled up 3 times before I finally ended him). Guns have become lot more powerful now. Enemies need lot more damage to be killed (Even Sniping headshots dealing 2800 damage is usually not enough, they can take 2 headshots)

Just about every enemy in the game exists in badass form, really wished the Vault Hunter also had such a form

the problem with Lunchwood is it levels up with the Vault Hunter. if you are level 32, all enemies will also be in level 32. this makes the area extremely challenging and dangerous specially when you go further right. keep a rocket ready in case you fall into Fight for your Life mode. yet this mayn't be enough to save you unless you have Nukem equipped.

i am using Lyuda (Legendary sniper) yet takes 3 hits but a big drum, high accuracy and really nice firing rate makes taking down enemy lot easier.
If you visit Caustic Caverns, look out for chubby enemies (chubby valkrid) which are nothing but fat version of normal enemies but takes more damage to bring down. they drop some really nice gear (comparable to God-liath) when killed.

and yes, creepers too (minecraft enemy)

Just about every enemy in the game exists in badass form, really wished the Vault Hunter also had such a form

tried a round in Nature Selection Annex. barely survived first round. second round there arrived a Chubby valkrid and was followed by an Ultimate Badass Valkrid. Was totally unprepared for these kind of challenge. Lasted a minute before i was the next victim.

Reached the city of Opportunity. My word it's a huge city. Completed the mission of blowing a crane up and another of killing foreman to flood up the construction site. Player level is 27 now, can easily kill most enemies without much problem. The Sabre turret makes life lot easier. My turret is also lot more powerful now. Robbing the train full of cash was fun. But I'm still trying to get better guns. Will visit Caustic Caverns soon again to do the mission there. Last time I went there I couldn't reach the spot.


Had a fun co-op session with Faun. We were playing with high level players and doing early missions of the game. I died many times and Faun kept reviving me with some special ability of his character(something called Res was used).

killed foreman in record time. i think 5-6 sec only. a single Hyperion sniper bullet depleted his shields and the rest was finished off by my turret. and killing Crystalisk is really easy if you have any gun with +50% melee damage. fun as fast as you can to them and then start melee attack on all 3 legs. they'll be dead in no time.

Faun is alive? and he was playing as Maya?

 

[thetechfreak]

Yes he's fine. Yes he was playing as Maya. He loves killing with corrosive guns, I think all his guns are corrosive type lol.

Tried playing today too, but lagged so much that I had to quit
