    What's your Anarchy like, out of curiosity? I have a 143x4, 12.5 fire rate, which, from what I understand is merely decent.

    The mind boggles.

    is it possible for a perfect anarchy to have both the highest possible damage rating and the highest possible fire rate?

    I'm not sure the Anarchy has the damage/fire rate trade-off you tend to see in other SMGs

    I've never seen a thumper Anarchy

    I assume they do not exist

    Some SMG titles do sort of the same thing--Bruisers are higher powered, but with a lower fire rate, but an Anarchy is obviously going to always have the Anarchy title

    Anyway, I believe the legit mega-Anarchy is 204x4 with a 13.8 fire rate which is patently ridonkulous

    that's because they are wrong in every way

    fire rate is the whole point of SMGs

    you want high-damage and low fire rate? use one of the combat rifles to that effect

    thumpers are just terrible

    I die a little every time I find a thumper

    Yeah, a great anarchy makes Craw so much fun. It changed my whole perspective and I am interested to see what I can do on clap-trap knoxx with it!

    I think mine is 254*4 and it might be a double anarchy.

    I'm using a torgue 204x4 steel anarchy

    27.0 accuracy, 13.8 fire rate, 81 clip

    I have gladly traded off higher damage for the increased fire rate + clip

    a close-up spray can pretty much take out craw's front in a few clips

    The mind boggles.

    My anarchy's hardly GODLIKE but in the hands of a siren with a good mercenary mod, it doesn't take much:

    HX3DoubleAnarchy.png

    The nice part is that it reloads almost instantaneously. Fast enough that when killing knoxx to get into the armory, all I have to do is hop up and down next to him, hosing his face. It reloads so fast that he's never not stunned, and I kill him so fast if I have my merc mod on (usually I'm catalyst specced because, well, it's more fun) that I don't even have to piss around with killing the adds.

    Other highlights from the day:

    Thank you +2 find rare items. You make me think I'll get nice things.

    Kind of wish my first pearlescent wasn't a level 48, but oh well, at least I've gotten one!

    Sorry for the hideous images but it's way too late for me to futz around making them re-transparent after knocking the filesize down by 3/4.

    I went from hating Roland to loving him. Leader class mod if no one else has it (turret/medic/support build), Support Gunner if people like ammo regen, Rifleman/Commando if I'm feeling gun-heavy, and Shock Trooper if I'm feeling punchy.

    Haven't tried out Tactician or Heavy Gunner yet.

    tactician and heavy gunner are my favorite mods, and arguably his best for general use

    in fact, I'd say that heavy gunner is generally better than rifleman for using combat rifles, and it also works with SMGs and other non-shotguns.

    Same story here

    it costs a lot of points to get to his really great skills, I think, so he kind of lags for a while

    once he hits 40-45 though he spontaneously becomes some sort of celestial being

    I haven't tried out all the mods yet, but I do find myself switching between heavy gunner and rifleman alot.

    I'm not max level yet, I have stat, and all the pertinent rifleman talents, so I can't get up to supply drop at this time. So I find myself running out of ammo with heavy gunner. If I have a nice assault rifle, I prefer rifleman, if I have a nice machine gun, I like heavy gunner (bullet hose doesn't do it justice, more like bullet beam because of the lack of recoil).

    If I don't have a nice combat rifle, well heavy gunner is just more general.

    (I just checked and saw that rifleman can have ammo regen, mine has the recoil reduction; heavy gunner can have a damage boost, mine has the increased fire rate, which is why I have the ammo problem)


    Oddly enough, I was surprised to find that shotguns were not my Roland's second highest weapon proficiency, nor were sniper rifles (I found a volcano fairly early on) but pistols. I blame my pestilent defiler. I forgot that I killed my way through every lance area of PT1 with that revolver, it's sooo good.

    My completely unscientific experience tells me different.

    I always seem to find more oranges with it on.

    And I am thereby psychologically incapable of removing it.

    What level can pearlescent weapons drop?

    Is it like, any level, in Knoxx? Do they only drop in Knoxx areas? I had previously thought they were only level 61 things but then I've seen images of some with level 48 reqs.

    They only drop in Knoxx, but sometimes you also find cheap guns. You don't only find weapons level 50 and higher.

    I noticed that I only got some of the achievements on Mordecai. He was past the first playthrough and in Zombie Land and although a bunch of them did pop up, I still have never been to Skag Gully.

    No but it takes a good 3 minutes of constant super fast number-moving charging.

    This is my corrosive weapon. It's pretty good, but I kinda wish I had something with a higher fire rate.

    I mostly use the SMG, but the Volcano is super awesome too. The pistol isn't too bad either and I feel like I should use that due to speccing as rogue (bloodwing) and gunslinger, with nothing in sniper.

    Right now, my equipped weapons are the Vicious Orion, the Swift Equalizer, the Pestilent Defiler and the Combustion Hellfire.

    So, in a sequel to Borderlands, I think it could be cool to have the option to set a secondary Class Mod that you can just hit a button to switch to. Like A button on 360, since that just cycles weapons, and who uses that crap when you can select exactly which weapon you need from the d-pad.

    For example, I'm playing Hunter, firing off revolver rounds like a machine gun with a Gunslinger mod, but I'm getting overwhelmed, so I hit A to switch to my Hunter mod and toss out Bloodwing, and he picks off the rest.
