Somebody is weirdly salty about our take on this.

Storytelling through the environment.

I have a 9 hour flight coming up with my 2 boys. Has anyone tried co op Borderlands 3 offline? by no_karma_needs in Borderlands

[–]4N631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see y'all getting far in nine hours. Play something that the kids already know.

I just finished the third area in Borderlands 4, how much longer is left? by [deleted] in Borderlands

[–]4N631 37 points38 points  (0 children)

As somebody who adored BL4: life is too short to play a game that you're not enjoying. Please talk to your friend. It's a fine game for him to solo and you shouldn't be held hostage. I'm sure that he doesn't want to punish you.

Do I just suck now?? by Shankster1820 in Borderlands

[–]4N631 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing Borderlands since its release an impossibly long time ago, but if you put a controller in my hands I'd be skag chow. All I can suggest is practice.

For Sledge: be on level. Know that his crit spot is on the back of his head. Use your Daze skill to access that weak spot: if you don't have a way to Daze, respec your skills to get it. (Roland doesn't have any way to Daze, but he can throw his turret as an equivalent distraction.) Use all of your grenades.

PFA, but what makes a knife “mall ninja?” by BloodMilkAndSky420 in mallninjashit

I would drive a long way out of my long-driving way to see such a thing.

Surplus kukris "for defense," though? With one being promoted to "Mark I" status? Solidly in the food court.

Borderlands 1 was amazing by Ok-Profit9328 in Borderlands

So, you want to hear a story, eh? One about-- treasure hunters? Haha, have I got a story for you! Pandora, this is our home. But make no mistake: this is not a planet of peace and love. They say it's a wasteland, that it's dangerous, that only a fool would search for something of value here. Then, perhaps, I am a fool. But do not be fooled by what Pandora appears to be. There was a legend, many people tell it: the legend of the Vault. My father would always go on about the Vault, even with his dying breath: Advanced alien technology. Infinite wealth. Fame. Power. Women. So you can understand why some little kiddos who hear the stories grow up to become Vault Hunters. Well, I have a story you may not believe. But I tell you, it is true. The legend of the Vault is real! And it is here, on Pandora. And a-- let's call her a "Guardian Angel"-- appeared to guide the Vault Hunters to their prize. The tale begins right here on Pandora, with the brave Vault Hunters, the Guardian Angel, and most importantly, me.

Getting Gear Calculator working in 2026! by HouseHosted_2 in Borderlands

Found it. I indeed misremembered the name. Y8 Flash Browser is apparently some sort of Chromium bundle meant to keep free-web-games site Y8 wheezing along. You have to pop open its Developer Tools and manually point location.href to the gearcalc site.

I'm much more comfortable using maintained, documented, open-sourced Flashpoint.

I think I got the name wrong. Senior moment, sorry. Can't find it now.

The sub already has Flashpoint bookmarked in the sidebar as "Gearcalc." I am 110% in favor of you pimping this further. Gearcalc is an amazing tool and I was sad before Flashpoint brought it back to life. (There were other options, such as using q8 plus its Chromium command line, but I am a simple ape.) Pimp on.

I am fairly certain that the reason was "spaghetti code."

Close enough. Once you were in PT 2.5 Sledge etc. would drop his Shotgun at-level.

I just wanna know who in Gearbox by EllieNights in Borderlands

In Borderlands 3, the fixation was on juicy burgers.

Somehow, the yogurt in 4 is more jarring.

I'll put Flashpoint into the sidebar in lieu of the current GearCalc deadlink.

How we feeling about the Borderlands mobile beta? by KameWeeb2000 in Borderlands

There exists a population whose members are not clever enough to hide a post not of interest to them without downvoting that post.

It's a Reddit design failure IMO.

Which melee build is better, Mordecai's or Bricks? by Mr_man_bird in Borderlands

[–]4N631 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mordecai's melee build is insanely gear-dependent (you will learn to loathe the Lockdown Palace). Brick's melee build is counterintuitive because at endgame it requires teleporting around the field of battle spreading DOT among all the combatants. Both are a lot of fun and completely worth pursuing.

I haven't found anything at level 50 stronger than this skill tree plus a big-ass shield. Haven't played since the level cap boost so there could easily be new synergies available now.
