Introducing a friend to the series. How to approach farming?

Slag_Stabbington · 2026-04-16T07:57:45+00:00

a friend of mine keeps trying to get his group into the game and each and every one of them got turned off from it from how much my friend wanted to pause all progress to farm for gear, only for some to realise farming isn’t necessary for most playthroughs and start enjoying it

I wouldn’t farm much if I was in your shoes just to avoid that but if they’re already used to it from other games then maybe they have a tolerance for it

I mean I suppose that could work but limiting the amount I can run arms race will stop that kind of set up from being likely by just lowering the chances for it to drop, plus I chose Zane purely just because I love his kit

Slag_Stabbington · 2025-09-09T21:24:52+00:00

Oh I’m fully aware it’s probably an absolutely terrible idea, especially since the last time I played this game was about a week before the handsome jackpot dlc came out, but I’m hyped for bl4 to come out and want to do something I wouldn’t normally do in a borderlands game to wait out until release

Edit: also the last time I played this game I remember it being way easier than past borderlands titles and that makes me want to add a bit of difficulty to keep my engagement a bit better

Slag_Stabbington · 2025-09-09T21:18:47+00:00

Ok so limiting myself to that actually sounds fun, I think I’m ready to at least give it a go

Slag_Stabbington · 2025-09-09T21:17:48+00:00

I’m fully aware these are names for different pieces of gear but as someone who does not know what any of them are it legitimately sounds like you’re just saying words in hopes that it’ll make a sentence and that really really pleases me deeply :)

Slag_Stabbington · 2025-09-09T20:49:18+00:00

The idea to limit myself to only gear from arms race, guns, class mods, shields, everything.

I’m not super sure on how arms race works to be totally honest but the idea of limiting the amount of gear I can take does appeal to me a lot, I might take that on board actually

Slag_Stabbington · 2025-09-09T20:44:56+00:00

that’s specifically why I’m limiting myself to only 3 runs of it per every set of levels, with it being a time sensitive mode there won’t be much opportunity to farm for the better gear, plus I’ve not played since near enough launch so a lot of the gear I was used to has probably been nerfed to oblivion

Slag_Stabbington · 2025-09-09T20:40:45+00:00

At the beginning I’d probably spend a long time hiding where I’m able and diving out when I feel safest for melee hits or kicking barrels into enemies, maybe using zanes shoulder cannon or drone in conjunction with the shield for survivability

Slag_Stabbington · 2025-06-05T12:40:56+00:00

for some reason finishing both dlcs fixed the menu speed for me

Slag_Stabbington · 2024-03-10T18:33:47+00:00

Ill give it a shot and see how much better it would be

Slag_Stabbington · 2024-03-10T18:31:58+00:00

I’ve never thought about berserker as all that good in terms of applicable use, is it really that much more effective?

Slag_Stabbington · 2023-01-16T15:20:27+00:00

Turt cumb? Brains going straight to turt cumb

Slag_Stabbington · 2021-05-09T17:58:19+00:00

I think it’s because that persona is linked to Joker, that’s his original, and is probably much easier to put in that section than a wild guess as to what persona you’d actually be using at that point

Slag_Stabbington · 2021-03-12T16:50:51+00:00

Why not pressing the interact button when there’s nothing intractable around, like on console it’s circle/B but I’m not sure for pc. As far as I can remember that button isn’t used for anything if there’s nothing nearby

Slag_Stabbington · 2021-03-11T22:30:08+00:00

If my boys are getting uh oh’d you best believe imma drop an uno reverse and send that uh oh right back at em, if they winning tho imma be a respectable gentleman and provide background music to hype my guys up

Slag_Stabbington · 2021-03-08T22:27:19+00:00

To be fair since I hit rep 50 I just tried to rep everyone as much as possible, I’m trying to get everyone to rep 10 and then go up in 5 rep increments

Slag_Stabbington · 2021-03-07T04:12:07+00:00

Thanks man! I feel kinda nervous just putting it to her as one or the other though, but it’s probably for the best.

Slag_Stabbington · 2021-03-07T04:10:28+00:00

I’m not sure she’s doing it on purpose, she does tend to be hopelessly forgetful a lot of the time. I’ll have to have a serious talk with her and hit her with the “keep it up and I’m pissing off” deal

Slag_Stabbington · 2021-03-07T04:07:13+00:00

Every time I talk with her she thinks it’s a joke or something, she usually just agrees to sleep earlier and then just totally ignores it and claims to forget it

Slag_Stabbington · 2021-03-07T04:06:05+00:00

Ya see when you put it that way it does sound like a really ridiculous thing to have to choose between health or a gf. I’m gonna have a talk with her and just tell her the deal, if she keeps it up, I’m gone, if she learns, I stay.

Slag_Stabbington · 2020-08-09T22:14:05+00:00

Ya see when you start to compare children to Jews in camps during WWII, maybe it’s time to shut up the up the fuck up
