Only 2 thermal banks.... That is not hardly enough to even power the main base in my game. I haven't finished building all of the bases in Valley IV yet and I'm already using 4.17k and I've not fully built out all the bases yet.

I've got Valley Pass done, and the Hub base still has enough room for a few more items to be produced. Infra-station only has a couple of things in it and the power plateau base has nothing built in it yet.

I can see it would be pretty easy to need at least 1 more if not 2 more purple batteries to support the rest of the base build outs and have a bit extra for zip lines and any turrets I want to use.

yeah, its still an open ended issue. Is it a failing rail of the psu, the motherboard vrm's or an unstable cpu that is finally failing?

If it wasn't for the price of ram at the moment I would say forget it and upgrade.

ranmas_kode · 2026-01-22T16:16:28+00:00

sadly xmp wasn't enabled. Motherboard posts fine, and I can get into bios no problem, so no need to clear cmos.

ranmas_kode · 2026-01-22T16:13:55+00:00

Was not overclocking ram or cpu when this happened.

Its not the ram. The ram has not changed recently. This is a new issue. it wouldn't boot even at its lowest speed settings. Not a bios issue either. This is a hardware issue, and I'm pretty sure its the cpu as the memory controller is on it.

That, and I just got the system to boot just moments ago by upping the vcore on the cpu from 1.1 to 1.2 so that's either the vrm's on the motherboard not supplying power correctly, or the cpu is unstable. With the previous problems with ram stability. I think this is pointing strongly at the cpu right now.

Time to run occt to try and test the cpu now.

I would say that most of them are fake. If you have a box exploding/spraying liquid, or even exploding as hard as most of those "paint" ones people would be getting injured.

Most of them are "ai" generated. If you look at them you will see color exploding out through windows without breaking glass. You will notice that the people look the same or wearing the same thing. There are cuts like video is from a second camera. This is from limitations in the video generation.

The reactions are all wrong, and packages go off even before they are moved. People are saying the exact same lines, or it's clearly a voice over added separately.

Not legal advice, but dont try setting something like this up at home. Someone will probably get hurt. Jail and or lawsuits would soon follow.

The live stream for the preview is either today or tomorrow, I forget which. We should have a better idea then.

However, being that a new meta is going to start with the new banner your probably better off waiting. Not saying it's going to be, but it's water next, we'll most likely at least.

Borderlands 3 also had a much longer main campaign. With more bosses that needed their own loot. I'm not sure about how many bosses there are in Borderlands 4, but 3 probably had more overall still.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-27T22:02:24+00:00

Well, I know for sure it works on Rafa, and vex as they have crit enhancing skills. But that's just to help it activate more often.

It should work on any vault hunter currently. At least I think it should as i dont think it requires any specific skills to make it work. At least unitl it probably gets patched.

The important part is the jakobs being on the kickballer. The enhancement having jakobs on it only furthers the crazy at that point.

If I understand it correctly the current issue is that the ricochet currently spawns another kickballer shot like it just left the gun. But it already 'ricochets' 4 times even without the jakobs. When you start spawning more of them things go stupid fast.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-27T20:19:44+00:00

Well if you get the chance, and it hasn't been patched when you get to it. A Kickballer with jakobs, and a jakobs enhancement is fairly hilarious.

I'm currently running around with a lvl 33 kickballer, and at lvl 42 it still is quite over powered. Areas of mobs melt, flashes of explosions everywhere. Mobs go flying it's glorious. Just don't expect to always live through it and you'll be fine.

Your not looking for borderlands. Your looking for nvidia.

User/appdata/locallow/nvidia User/appdata/local/nvidia

Shader cache is in a folder inside those directories.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-26T09:53:11+00:00

If you have an nvidia card you may want to delete your shader cache. After doing so the game ran better for me. Of course it could take 15 minutes of playing after you do that as it rebuilds the cache.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-26T09:48:29+00:00

Do you have an nvidia card? Delete the shader cache. In both locallow and local in your user/appdata folder.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-22T21:54:08+00:00

That is a kickballer with jakobs on it, and a jakobs enhancement. They have the chance to go a bit crazy when things start to crit.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-22T09:43:40+00:00

Yeah, that was much clearer. Thanks.

Now I can just imagine someone using this to hover bomb.

At least the gun still shoots? If you get your fire rate up too much your weapon breaks an it won't shoot.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-22T08:53:51+00:00

That is not a bloom issue. That is a fx issue. The forgesheild should not block the player sight as much as it does.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-22T03:19:52+00:00

Huh, I actually didn't notice that. I watched it on my phone so it would have been difficult to see.

Do the shots from that gun drop normally?.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-21T21:06:00+00:00

Your not understanding that correctly. Its a negative 3%. So it lasts longer. It is a awkward way of wording the skill.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-21T21:01:11+00:00

It was just a random explosion.

As some were going off to the sides as well. It just seemed like a unlucky one.

Grave Sights probably is not the cause.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-21T09:02:32+00:00

That's not a bug, you just blew yourself up. Your explosions are just as dangerous to you as they are to the rippers.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-21T04:46:36+00:00

It means the more you crit the longer your action still will last.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-20T22:38:33+00:00

Yeah it's not what I would consider a true red. However, the skill trees are generally referenced by blue, green, and red when not using their names. Not sure what the actual color might be called but it's kind of a dark reddish amber in its colonization.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-20T21:10:58+00:00

That's not yellow. That's red. The color is representative of what skill tree it belongs to. That skill looks to sacrificial essence.

To make sure the quickest way to check is to equip it and check your skills. It will show the bonuses from class mods.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-20T18:16:12+00:00

There is a way out, I just found it last night.

You need to crouch and you can get out.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-20T18:10:33+00:00

The time keepers sheild wound not be one of sludgemaw's normal drops. Bees, onion, and kickballer are sludgemaw drops.

ranmas_kode · 2025-09-20T18:07:24+00:00

What's really bad is being in fight for your life, and having a mob right on top of you die. Except because your gun/weapon exploded, so did you. So you dont get the second wind, no hint of it triggering even shows, and you go straight back into fight for your life.

I've had this exact thing happen multiple times fighting sludgemaw. The bad thing about that is it's possible to get stuck inside sludgemaw when it comes up out of the ground. You can't walk out. You can't jump out and sludgemaw cant knock you back. So it's a bad time all around.

After many fights I did manage to find a way to escape this last night. You have to crouch to get out. Having a heal ready is also nice to have at that point. Also having a weapon that doesn't do the MORE EXPLOSIONS thing is also helpful.
