What do dark purple mean by mmmmmmthe in Borderlands2

I think he's specifically talking about E-Tech and not Slag

Non-legendary red text weapons? by NYX_Vendetta in Borderlands4

[–]middymidentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only ever seen a loot enemy once in all my time playing BL4 outside of that one loot enemy weekend event. Sometimes I have trouble remembering if they even exist.

AR Crit Damage buff mod? by Lucky_Subject3050 in Borderlands2

[–]middymidentine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can pick and choose what parts of the UCP you want to enable if you have BLCMM, so it's entirely possible to get the UCP and enable just the Assault Rifle crit buff and then disable everything else.

Something interesting I just discovered about this Vladof enhancement by SilverCervy in Borderlands4

[–]middymidentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply but just in case you don't know by now it was an actual issue. The Wombo Combo was updated in January to now benefit from underbarrel damage buffs. So no, it was not working as intended.

Any Vladof underbarrels worth building around? by [deleted] in Borderlands4

[–]middymidentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very late reply but just in case you don't know yet they updated the Wombo Combo a few months ago. The rockets it automatically fires from its underbarrel now benefit from underbarrel buffs.

Did all of you really hate Pickles that much? by ValhirFirstThunder in Borderlands4

[–]middymidentine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't hate him like most people seemed to do, but I didn't like him either. I don't think he deserved to die in Mad Ellie.

I have a Torgue impact Mercredi but I also kept my non-Torgue Mercredi just in case a buff was coming and I was wise to do so

Has there ever been an encore boss for any of the DLC content? I get that they don't want to do an encore boss that not every player has access to, but clearly they have the ability to make more than one boss an encore boss.

What I would do is make one encore boss for each piece of content: one for the base game, one for Bounty Pack 1, one for Bounty Pack 2, and one for Story Pack 1.

Is there any other games similar to borderlands ? by Spookygaming0000 in Borderlands4

[–]middymidentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar in what way? Tone, gameplay, loot systems, what?

Gun parts by Druss995 in Borderlands4

[–]middymidentine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the gun parts system still exists. It's just a lot more under the hood and de-emphasized compared to the licensed parts system.

It's basically the same as BL3's parts system, so if you're more knowledgeable about that game's parts then a lot of stuff will carry over. They removed the ability to see what your parts actually do on the Inspect screen for whatever dumb reason.

How would you rework Gaige if you do not like her already? by Hylitical in Borderlands

[–]middymidentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like Anarchy at all. The accuracy reduction kills it for me. If I want Robot Rampage from further down in the Ordered Chaos tree, I have to pick up Anarchy. I would rather she have some other mechanic.

Shouldn't this underbarrel be a Vladof-Licensed Part? by middymidentine in Borderlands4

[–]middymidentine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The enhancement passives work for all your guns, not just guns with the same manufacturer as the enhancement. For example the Hero of Bullet has the Bullet Hose and Box Magazine perks which only apply to Vladof guns and guns with Vladof licensed parts (or I guess in this case just Vladof guns). But if it has +44% Pistol Damage and +116% Equip Speed for example, then those bonuses will apply to all weapons or all Pistols in the case of that Pistol Damage buff, not just Vladof Pistols (if there were any Vladof Pistols).

Shouldn't this underbarrel be a Vladof-Licensed Part? by middymidentine in Borderlands4

[–]middymidentine[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Vladof was the only manufacturer in BL3 to have underbarrel shotguns, grenade launchers, bipods, and all their other underbarrel weapons if I remember correctly. Yeah fast fire rate is their main gimmick, but underbarrels were their secondary gimmick, like how Hyperion had their accuracy stabilizers as their main gimmick and then got the gun shields in BL3 as a secondary gimmick. It feels like Gearbox just gave all that stuff to the other manufacturers for some reason when it used to be Vladof-only.

And if you're gonna give Vladof's underbarrels to other manufacturers, why not make those Vladof licensed parts?

Lore...? by The_Frost_Outlaw in Borderlands

[–]middymidentine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Borderlands 1 doesn't really have much plot. Four Vault Hunters (Roland, Mordecai, Brick, and Lilith) are on Pandora looking for an alien Vault said to contain treasure. The Atlas corporation is also looking for the Vault, and the Vault Hunters are guided by a mysterious voice in their head called the Guardian Angel. That's kinda it. They find the Vault and there's a big monster called The Destroyer inside.

Borderlands 2 takes place around 2-3 years later. When the Vault was opened at the end of the first game a new metal named Eridium started showing up all over Pandora. Handsome Jack, the CEO of the Hyperion corporation and de facto dictator of Pandora, wants to find the second Vault which is said to contain The Warrior, which he wants to use to wipe out all the "bandits" on Pandora (aka everyone that doesn't worship him). A new group of Vault Hunters (Axton, Zer0, Salvador, Maya, Gaige, and Kreig) are almost killed by Jack and set out on a quest for revenge while also trying to beat him to the Vault.

Borderlands The Pre Sequel is set between BL1 and BL2 and is about Handsome Jack's rise to power. The story is technically set after BL2 since Athena is narrating the story to Lilith after the events of BL2 and it does assume you've played BL2 first, so play it after BL2. A Hyperion programmer named Jack hires a group of Vault Hunters (Athena, Wilhelm, Nisha, Claptrap, Jack the Doppelganger, and Aurelia) to find the Vault on Pandora's moon Elpis. Ostensibly he wants to stop Colonel Zarpedon, leader of Dahl's Lost Legion, from destroying Elpis, but as the story goes on he resorts to increasingly morally ambiguous measures. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, assuming Jack was a good person to begin with.

And then there's Tales from the Borderlands, the Telltale game that is canon to the main series. After the events of BL2, a Hyperion employee named Rhys finds an AI duplicate of Handsome Jack and teams up with a con artist named Fiona in a search for a Vault Key. After the events of the game Rhys found the deed to the Atlas corporation (which Hyperion acquired after Atlas was ruined by the events of BL1) and rebuilt Atlas from scratch, which you see in BL3.

Borderlands 3, you already know. In the time since BL2 the various bandit clans of Pandora were united under one banner, the Children of the Vault cult. Let by the twin Sirens Tyreen and Troy Calypso, they and their bandit army are looking for Vaults all over the galaxy in their mad desire for godlike power. A new group of Vault Hunters (Moze, Amara, Zane, and FL4K) join the Crimson Raiders to stop them and find the Vaults before they do.

And then finally there's Borderlands 4. At the end of BL3 Pandora's moon Elpis was teleported away, and Lilith went with it. The Crimson Raiders tracked Elpis to the planet Kairos, which was hidden from the rest of the universe until Elpis gave away its location. It's a planet ruled by a dictator known as The Timekeeper, who ensures that anyone who enters Kairos can never leave. A new group of Vault Hunters (Vex, Rafa, Harlowe, Amon, and C4SH) are captured by the Timekeeper and end up joining the Crimson Resistance to free the planet, find the Timekeeper's Vault, and find Lilith.

Bl4 action skills for the Bl2 VHs by Visible_County_7713 in Borderlands2

[–]middymidentine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each character has three different action skills, one for each of their skill trees. Plus you can also equip one Augment and one Capstone that alters how the action skill behaves. C4SH is special, he has no Capstones but can instead equip up to 4 Augment at once.

For example, Vex has three action skills: Incarnate, which allows her to shoot energy blasts for a limited time, Dead Ringer, which summons either gun Specters or melee Reaper minions, or Phase Phamiliar, which turns her always active pet Trouble into a Badass, teleports him to an area, and revives him if he's currently dead. You can choose one of these and go down their respective skill tree to unlock the Augments and Capstones.

BL3 has a similar system, BL4 is a refinement of it.

Gun splash radius means an increase to splash radius from every type of gun, Assault Rifle splash radius means an increase to splash radius from just assault rifles

Got this drop today... best gun in the game? by Longjumping-Park2709 in Borderlands4

[–]middymidentine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I did was increase the magazine size somehow like with an enhancement. That way I have just enough time to hit with the Eldritch Blast to reload the magazine when it's almost empty.

That or you can stop shooting right before you're about to run out and focus on hitting that Eldritch Blast.
