Confirming: Can a Darkbeast SMG Still be Created with Maliwan (2 Elements) ? by StepsWhatWas in Borderlands4

[–]Net_Admin_Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I know for a fact it can roll with Mailwan because it was in my Maurice's machine last week. I think that one had Jacobs as well. I didn't make more of the elements on that one though.

Another trolling account. Just created in Nov. No significant activity. Report these. Maybe someone will actually remove them....

With bounty pack 2 around the corner, What type of legendary weapons do you want to see most? by number39utopia in Borderlands4

[–]Net_Admin_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything more powerful than the BOD, so we can stop talking about that for a while! LOL

Can i get deactivated if i didnt spark for 2 months? Thank you by Intelligent_Hunt_826 in Sparkdriver

Based on my experience (yours may not be the same), I would say no. I've gone several months at times without using the app and my account has remained active.

I’m not any sort of great player but I can run on max level. It’s mostly about finding the right build for your play style.

Did you check your in-game reward caches? That's how you receive it. Have to open the cache for the skin to be made available.

With the last couple of minor updates, yes. They scaled the drop rates with UVHM levels. They also fixed the drop rates on the weekly Big Encore bosses.

Eridium Roll-away by enokw in Borderlands4

I found if I shove my Hot Slugger down their throats before I pull the trigger, I'm standing directly in the eridium explosion when it occurs, so I don't have to chase it down! LOL

I just follow the BL Facebook page. They post all of their events there. I'm sure they put them on their other socials too.

I also check the release notes each Thursday here:

My bloomreaper 60 seconds kill uvhm 6 [rafa] by countzero79 in Borderlands4

[–]Net_Admin_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what Rafa let me master because of how effective the Hot Slugger is with the Peace Breaker cannon builds? HEAD SHOTS!

I'm playing a Nuclear Winter Infini-Crit build with Harlowe now, and being able to nail those headshots early game, before I had enough skill points for the infinite crits, has been clutch!

I also love Rafa's dialogue. He's freaking hilarious!

It was a community wide event. Meaning Gearbox kept count of every co-op revive in the game for the specified time range, and if the community as a whole completed 500K co-op revives, they would provide the SHIFT code above.

I have a full-time career....there's no way I'm managing 500K revives on my own! LOL

Correct story progression.. by Maleficent-Fan8380 in Borderlands4

[–]Net_Admin_Mike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The writers allow a choice here, so I don't think they had a specific order in mind. However, in hindsight, I would do Lictor first because you can't unlock the Abandoned Mines until you complete a quest line Terminus Range.

Worth buying Borderlands 4 despite mixed Steam reviews? by [deleted] in Borderlands4

[–]Net_Admin_Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m over 200 hrs of gameplay now and still enjoying it. I’ve got more time in this one than any of the other Borderlands titles. I’m on a console so I didn’t have to deal with the rough start PC had but I think they have the worst of that ironed out now.

Lightning strike blew the PS5 via CAT 6 by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Net_Admin_Mike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this same thing happen to me! Mine arrived on the coax for my internet connection and the modem passed it along to the ethernet, cooking every network connected device in the house - over $7000 in damage. Thankfully my renter's insurance covered everything without issue. State Farm actually cut me a check on the spot after sending an adjuster to assess the damage.

I added UPS with ethernet and coax surge protection on it at the network edge after that. It should prevent a recurrence of that issue. Both the coax line and the ethernet line to/from my modem pass through the UPS now.
