I just picked up a sniper rifle that has no ammo and runs on a battery, shoots lasers and also uses some electrical damage.... Ill post some screenshots later once I figure it out

PLEASE do!

it's nice to find and have as a back up when you run out of bullets...however it has like 4-6 shots then needs to recharge. it's more of a pain in the ass than a good thing. plus the damage is just ok i never hit for massive crit dmg with it with mord like i do with bullet using most other sniper rifles.

found mine on the second pass through at sledge...like the very first weapon case you could open.

it's semi uselss at lvl 45 but i use it as a back up if i am desperate and run out of ammo...like i do with the rest of the eridian weaponry.

the scope sucks too on all their weapons. barely any zoom!

FordGT90Concept · Oct 30, 2009

That's how all eridian weapons are. Because of their slow recharge, they are pretty much worthless except as a shock weapon (a few shots and changed).

Mussels · Oct 30, 2009

is there any way to store gear?

i'm getting tons of great stuff, but my housemate isnt willing to do coop yet, and its taking up valuable space holding onto loot for him...

unfortunately no

Mussels · Oct 30, 2009

thanks altec.

i learned two lessons:

#1 dont stock up on elemental weapons of the same type. i had three lightning weapons, and ran into a lightning mini boss... he was immune to my attacks :S

#2 theres some giant skrag mission, and it was labelled as "difficult" - my arse, he butchered me

Skagzilla? I went in with a few health packs and my shotgun equiped. Whenever he jumped, I jumped out of the way as he was coming down. The only thing I couldn't defend against was his charge attacks. Basically, focus on defense until he prepares to shoot that laser beam at you. The moment he opens his mouth, unload the shotgun into it. Rince and repeat about 4 times and he'll be dead. There's no sense attacking him if his mouth isn't open (pretty much the same with all armored skags).

I'm finding out I need an auto with fire damage myself.

The sniper is deadly but it doesn't fire fast enough.

there are sniper rifles with a high rate of fire...my current rifle fires off 6 rounds as fast as i can click which is pretty fast.

i was too low level. even my 11x60 damage shotgun did ~50 damage total

Yeah, skagzilla was actually fairly easy. Just had to avoid him from damaging you mostly.

My friend and me both burst out laughing when we saw him fire a lazer out of his mouth:

Has anyone done this side quest with the giant moth rak? It shoot huge flaming balls of doom that are extremely accurate. It said recommended quest level 21 I think. I was lvl 22, and I used all my ammo and it only took this lvl 25 rak down to like half hp.

I had a similar rifle but found the shotgun worked better since I was close anyway. I think the shotgun I was using was from a previous side quest/boss. All I remember is that it did a lot of damage but didn't have any elemental attributes.

I got in a car equiped with a machine gun, locked on to it, and drove like mad running over skags constantly attacking the Mothrakk. It will eventually die so long as you keep moving.

lemode · Oct 30, 2009

just found my first rare (orange) gun in the wild. i dont understand why its lvl 40 but its all good as it's a good gun.

I actually just figured out you can lock on the guns in vehicles last night (I'm like level 22). That would have made a lot of missions a lot easier. :laugh:

For mothrak,stand under the roof of the place you get the vehicle from and pop out and shoot with a shotgun at him.Shotguns btw work best on flying mobs.The first time i tried mothrak i got my ass handed to me.

DanishDevil · Oct 30, 2009

My Mothrak Stragegy:

Once he starts shooting fireballs at you, get in your vehicle and RUN. Once he stops, hop out and spray him with your SMG. Probably took longer than tigger's, but oh well. I killed him.

Oh, and so nobody else gets owned like I did, you can't drive over barrels.
But I like tigger's too.

DanishDevil · Oct 30, 2009

AND yet again, stay away from barrels while driving, especially in deep water. Cost me $19,000 for the "New Me" this time :shadedshu

would this game run fine on my laptop?? i know it run just fine on my desktop but i was wondering if it run good on my laptop heres spec:

AMD Turian X2 2.GHZ dual core
ATI radeon HD3200
3GB ram
250GB HD

With the graphics down, I don't see why not.

finally started playing, single player is a bit disappointing so far. got to lvl 10 and its not all that diverse of a game. Multiplayer is a crapshoot, hard to find a server where people work toghether

Every server I play on we all worked together.

ShiBDiB · Oct 31, 2009

ive played in 3, and in 2 a high lvl came in and ruined things

1Kurgan1 · Oct 31, 2009

Made it to 19 today, MArineborn finally got to play, he was Brick, my friends Sniper Mord, and I'm MEdica Roland. We steam rolled most of it, really loving Rolland, done in the Healing tree, going to start working on my beasty turret, and got an amazing shotgun, dont think I can go back to anything else, the spread on them allows me to heal friends and damage enemy's with one shot.

Will be going for the grenade talent, aoe damage is the easiest way to heal, so I use the rocket and grenades a lot.

Not Diverse. Fun none the less. It has the whole Painkiller scenario with a refreshing since of humor. I love this game because it has character and I was sick of all the shooters being nearly identical. The exceptions to the rule are the games I buy and love.

Fallout 3: Slowly depressing you over time with is unusually bleak and thick atmosphere.

Borderlands: 87 Bazillion gunz (with a z) used to kill everone and thing. Nine Toes P.S. He also has 3 balls.

Glad he got someone to play with. I wanted to play with him earlier, but my roommate was nagging me. I guess I will have to hop on with you guys on one of my off days.

Played this last night and i dont mind it at all, works well on my machine, the graphics look weird in this game though. Cartoonish

Hamachi works for this game as well, worked perfectly

twicksisted · Oct 31, 2009

i havent read the rest of the thread.... so im sorry if this has been said or asked...
The graphics look pretty crappy from the screenies ive seen.... how is the gameplay and is it worth it?

Deleted member 24505 · Oct 31, 2009

This is game of the year material IMO. The graphics that can be seen online do not do the gameplay justice.
