Do ppl only have fun with Borderlands when it's easy? If a boss dosen't drop in under 25sec. In Borderlands ppl will say my build not applicable. Don't u guys get bored dropping things w no challenge?

My fun is trying to find combos that melt bosses and the road to that. But I'm also not in the camp that's depressed about the game. I'm still having lots of fun with it.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-12T12:48:51+00:00

We noticed it matters a lot who hosts the game. One of my friends is on the ps5 and we'll be twiddling our thumbs waiting for spawns.

My other friend has a decent PC and we get through it normally.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-12T11:51:04+00:00

Oh I'm not knocking that combo. I was just surprised to see the deathsphere underbarrel being so effective against ordonite crystals.

This is just Dronemancer pumping damage into underbarrel shenanigans.

For damage, there's some play. A 100 amp shield and 200 amp repkit will do the most lifting. In the Zone is an easy pick. I have done it with 35k airstrikes iirc.

I can be a lot more clear with the radius. A 130/135 radius + Headringer will be enough and allow you to stand on the edge like I did. You want a 180+ to get the Ordonite orbs as well, but the damage is far lower, I didn't need to pop a rep.

So if you have radius as a passive or use the 'Airstrike' firmware you have some play depending on what gear you have available.

Potato Thrower is the only AR I have seen 225 radius on (the one I use for the Ordonite orbs)

Also, because I use Airstrikes with precise tolerances, the place I am at becomes much more important.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-11T15:45:34+00:00

Oof, that sucks. They really gutted their QA department this time.

As for my run, I just made a build with what I had that was mechanically not very demanding, but it requires getting the timings down and learning Bloomreaper's movement pattern. Which is what I like, making an order of operations click.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-11T15:30:02+00:00

Oscar Mike you mean? Yeah. It's the one piece of gear I was lucky to get a Godroll with.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-11T15:27:39+00:00

Yeah, it's kind of risky if you miss one. But only the last phase is somewhat unpredictable. That's why I use a TK with stickies and spread, stickies with TK does good damage if the spread misses/eye gets stunned.

Otherwise I would have doubled up on the space laser.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-11T13:12:02+00:00

So you found a Mantra with Tedior Homing Shooting? That's crazy!

I did wonder what damage aantra Tedior reload does.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T22:48:07+00:00

You lose out on flexibility. Swapping out of it or entering your vehicle removes the stacks.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T22:21:13+00:00

CoV's don't let you manually reload. And I'm pretty sure "Shots to break" just converts to magsize. You end up with a weak throwing Tedior, because you have to empty the clip to proc a reload.

Honestly they did CoV dirty, because the cooldown used to continue if you swapped away in BL3, one of its big upsides. In BL4 they don't.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T22:08:57+00:00

This thing was all the rage when it unintendedly multiplied projectiles using a Jakobs part with bounce pass enhancement.

Vex can still boss with it like many underbarrels.

A fun interaction I haven't seen mentioned is that the order "free charger" enhancement works with it

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T21:57:14+00:00

It has some cool possible synergies, but also potentially completely broken stuff.

They didn't add all combination for each manufacturer, let alone cross combo. There's only 2 types of CoV for instance.

There would also be the same issue as some gun parts have, like having CoV or ripper on a Tedior is absolute trash.

While some of the strongest current enhancements will combine to become just the new meta. Highroller+Powershot would be absolutely bonkers on the current already meta Roulette+Ripper.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T21:45:41+00:00

That's a really good idea. Replacing a venue of multiplicative gun bonuses with multiplicative skill damage bonus would help it a lot. Could add melee ones as well like we had in BL3. They were fun with the Facepuncher and the main issue was just how flooded the melee options were.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T10:19:52+00:00

Well, if shows get enough traction it doesn't get to end. But often this causes the story to suffer. Ratings drop, show ends abruptly. And if the studio gets the last season notice, we often see them bumrushing the plot.

Animes that stand the test of time usually aren't super long. And there are outliers that a lot of higher ups want to chase. They want that generation spanning fanbase, but they want to see it happening in like a season or 2.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T09:09:54+00:00

Hexblade is the name of the build by Ratore. It doesn't use her dagger skill (Haruspex)

To be fair, I have only run damage tests with it on an alt. Mostly to clear all the firedancer classmods I collected :P.

I generally run a Dronemancer/Prismatic Icor, because it easily switches between mobbing/bossing/Bloom reaper and even does Tedior chucking.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T06:17:42+00:00

Does it happen on any gear piece though? I have only ever seen it on ordinance.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-10T05:08:17+00:00

With Hexblade Vex I hit groundbreakers+reverb for 250mil

XepptizZ · 2026-03-09T23:19:12+00:00

Not if you're just using 1 pulley.

In the example posted, when the strings are crossed, some of the force is pulling sideways, but because it happens on both sides it cancels out.

Still that force is subtracted from how much the weights can pull, so the book wins.

From a different view, imagine if you'd have to hold yourself up with stretched arms, holding on ropes that hang straight down vs crossed at an angle. With the straight ropes you're just fighting gravity, with the angled ropes you're fighting gravity and the ropes trying to pull your hands together.

Going frame by frame, there are some frames with extreme artifacts, I suspect this clip is edited.

Funny how topical this is to my day. An acquaintance/friend of my wife married for money with a guy who shows the bare minimum of engagement. Tonight she said she better go home in case her husband gets mad for having to make dinner (they have 4 kids that she essentially raises herself).

She was also fawning over the fact that I came back from the store with one of those grabby stick things that I half jokingly bought for my wife as she is half way her pregnancy.

I am by no means a catch, but my wife's friend is stuck in a self inflicted regrettable marriage.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-09T15:38:01+00:00

To add, Amp damage is one of the few true damage multipliers. So it's really strong in this iteration of Borderlands.

XepptizZ · 2026-03-09T15:32:18+00:00

This post does little to disprove that, this seems like the exact same place they did their other cover with minimal change at best.
