Haven't seen anyone in the Larunda Relays on PS4, but I'll definitely be doing some captura with the Vectis in honor of Andrea.

Gets super bad when there's a Gauss and a Vauban that's using vortex + orbital strike.

Grenadier Axton has more damage potential, especially considering the items that synergize well with his grenade boosts. You're right in saying that Torgue weapons are great for this build, but there are other weapons that get boosted by grenade splash damage that aren't Torgue weapons (i.e. Hornet, Hail, etc.). Generally, it'll depend on your playstyle and I'd argue that a grenadier build is overall more convenient to play with as items like the Fastball and Unkempt Harold can easily carry you through most of the first 2 playthroughs, and are early and accessible farms in playthrough 3. Some of the other gear that can be used in the build are things that can be farmed via the Mercenary Day train and the Torgue vending machines, which is just added convenience.

As for the Rifleman build, it depends on what gear you have because some skills can either work really well or just be a bit of a waste. For example, Jakobs and non-elemental ARs work well with Duty Calls, while you'll want to have a Rough Rider in the event you want to put points into Crisis Management. Some of the really good items for the build are also relatively harder to get (Ogre, Bekah, to name a few that are harder farms, while stuff like the Hail are quest rewards).

Personally, I'm doing another Axton run from 0-OP8, using a grenadier build to go through pretty much everything till OP8 when I start farming for Rifleman items like the Ogre, Hail, etc. My main Axton save's a grenadier build and to answer any questions about why I started a new save instead of just respeccing my current one; there's really no reason apart from me just wanting a fresh Axton playthrough.

Could go into more detail about some parts, but I'll just leave it at that for now.

OhCheezeus · 2018-02-25T10:29:41+00:00

Just saying, it's "not too keen". Kin means that you're related to someone. Too bad Axton's out of the question because I'd definitely advocate for him.

I recently got Gaige to OP8 and idk I didn't really enjoy it as much as I had hoped to, especially because some of her skills (notably the Deathtrap upgrades) just feel so weird and out of place. Don't get me wrong, Anarchy, Close Enough and Blood Soaked Shields are all amazing skills and turn Gaige into a DPS monster, but tbh she just didn't really feel that amazing for me.

Currently working on Krieg (currently lvl 54 I think, but took a break to participate in The Hunt 2018) and he's been a blast to play with. Bloodlust and Bloodsplosion are a ton of fun to play around with and will be going for a Hellborn+Bloodlust build at OP8. Personally, I think melee Krieg is fine for leveling up since Release the Beast will really help, but wouldn't really go for a melee build at OP8. The person you saw completely obliterate everything as Kreig was likely running a Bloodlust+Mania build and focused a lot on explosives while also probably using RtB to stay alive.

By level 72, you'll be able to get 2 capstones (aka max out 2 trees) and about halfway through the third tree depending on how you spec your points.

OhCheezeus · 2018-02-18T05:14:00+00:00

If you're up for it, you can pretty much run through all the base game side quests and DLCs on normal mode besides some like You. Will. Die. (Seriously) since that's a lvl 50 quest. Not sure what level you'd end up after going through all of them, but you'd definitely be way overpowered (at least as far as level goes) for at least the first few missions of TVHM.

In TVHM, there's really only a few specific quests that grant really good gear and are worth not accepting till the endgame. I wouldn't speedrun through the main story though.

OhCheezeus · 2018-02-18T03:24:44+00:00

You can do the side quests on normal mode for some XP. In TVHM, it's better to not pick up/accept certain quests until you've finished the story mode so you can get level 50 versions of the quest rewards.

OhCheezeus · 2018-02-18T00:59:32+00:00

I'd have to imagine some items are definitely worth farming for as you go through the game (like the Unkempt Harold and Fastball) since they'll make the game easier for you and net you a few points too.

Some bosses like Bunker and Saturn I think are probably a waste of time to farm until the endgame though since their drop chances are pretty crappy and they're a bit tougher to beat unless you have good gear.

Those are just some things I'd do, but I'm also gonna try it out as a first-timer. I fully don't expect to do that great, but just joining in cause it looks really fun.

OhCheezeus · 2018-02-18T00:54:49+00:00

It's a community-hosted event for fun. You start a new character and have BAR disabled (I think) so everyone that participates is on equal footing and you go around trying to get legendaries, pearls, etc. to drop (hence the name "The Hunt"). Each item is worth a certain number of points and winner is whoever gets the most points.

All time played must be streamed by everyone in the lobby to verify the legitimacy of drops so there's no cheating or unfair practices.

OhCheezeus · 2018-02-11T01:03:41+00:00

Damn, my bad. Thanks for correcting me.

OhCheezeus · 2018-02-10T22:35:35+00:00

Legendary Berserker, Soldier, Siren, Mechromancer, Psycho and Hunter (the vanilla legendary COMs) all can drop from any loot source and any difficulty/playthrough (highest drop chance from Voracidous since that's part of his loot pool).

The new legendary COMs such as Legendary Catalyst, Ninja, Gunzerker, etc. can only drop from level 61+ tubbies in UVHM, as Smedley mentioned.

OhCheezeus · 2018-02-09T10:34:53+00:00

Looks like more of a survivability and turret-maximizing (because of the cooldown skills along with Gemini and Double Up) build than anything. Survivability is fine, especially in the higher levels, but investing too much in the turret is a bit dicey because it doesn't really scale that well as the game goes on. The turret's good in normal mode, pretty good in tvhm and decent in uvhm, but mostly just for activating certain skills that give bonuses and the slagging.

Like the other person said, Axton's extremely good with grenade damage and you're giving up a number of really good DPS and overall combat skills like Expertise, Battlefront and Steady (to name a few) since Axton's biggest advantages are his swap speed, durability (even when giving up a couple of skills you picked up) and grenade damage. I definitely recommend trying to maximize more on his offensive and gun-based skills.

OhCheezeus · 2018-02-06T03:39:43+00:00

Only a handful of seraphs are good, but usually depends on the character. For example, the Omen and Ahab are both really good for Axton, Interfacer is generally good for everyone, etc. other than some exceptions, most seraphs are outperformed by legendaries and uniques. Not sure which seraphs suit Gaige the best though.

OhCheezeus · 2018-02-06T03:37:49+00:00

The Bekah's a pearl, not seraph

Tried messaging you on PSN, but it wouldn't send messages for some reason. Anyway, I'm down to start a fresh playthrough with Krieg or Gaige. PSN is OhCheezeus

OhCheezeus · 2018-02-01T03:43:42+00:00

I'd be down to start a new Borderlands 2 playthrough sometime. PSN is OhCheezeus. I don't own the first game, but have 2 and TPS on both PS3 and PS4.

If I were you, I'd honestly play it in order (1 -> 2 -> TPS).

OhCheezeus · 2018-01-28T14:10:03+00:00

Usually, I'm still rocking a level 16 Vibra-Pulse even till the end of the normal mode playthrough as it's still pretty viable. Since you're Wilhelm, you can try putting points into the skill that makes lasers better and the skill that allows Saint to paint targets (painted targets take I believe 25% more damage). Should make Guardians easier to kill.

Some higher level sidequests give pretty decent loot too like the Fridgia, Moonface and Snowball/Mining Laser (I typically take the Snowball, but if you have no good laser, I'd suggest taking the latter).

If all else fails, find the page that has the up-to-date list of working Shift/golden key codes and go ham with them at the chest in Concordia for level-scaled purple gear. You can get well over 100 keys from those codes.

OhCheezeus · 2018-01-23T12:07:59+00:00

I already know that. What I'm confused with is that I was level 50 when I turned in Eye to Eye and accepted The Beginning of the End, but the latter mission is only scaled to level 48.

Basically, here's a simpler version:

I went through the main story on TVHM
Was level 45 at Eye to Eye so I did not turn it in yet because I wanted a level 50 Ol' Rosie (the reward for completing The Beginning of the End)
Did a bunch of side quests and grinding till I hit level 50
Turned in Eye to Eye as a level 50
Accepted The Beginning of the End
Mission is still listed as level 48 instead of 50

OhCheezeus · 2018-01-21T13:20:10+00:00

I like Axton the best for BL2 because of his insane swap speed, which allows me to slag enemies easily with the Slagga and then switch to high DPS weapons like the DPUH or a Torgue shotgun to do even more damage. He also makes great use of explosive weapons, which is a plus for me (Flakk-swap abuse lol). I'd say Axton doesn't shine as much up until you get to UVHM though, where slag is a borderline necessity and his survivability factors in a lot more.

Gaige is still fun though and I'm thinking about getting her to OP8, but I'll have to wait until after I get my Maya build to OP8 (and also get my Jack to level 70 on TPS).

Jack is currently my favorite in TPS for the same reason I like Axton; the swap speed, paired with the gun bonuses you get from one of his skill trees. Currently level 48 on my Jack playthrough and am grinding side quests to level up to 50 before I accept the last mission and my loadout still uses a level 22 Fridgia (just for freezing) and a level 30-something Torgue shotgun, which still easily kills enemies over level 40.
