You didn't click the link you lazy jackass! Alright then, I'll give... Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler From left to right: Roland, Lilith, Mordecai, Brick Roland Roland is a former soldier of the Crimson Lance, a sort of highly trained private military that disregards law and order. A decade-old vendetta is rekindled when Roland learns that the leader of the Brigadiers has a suspiciously similar name to a man he has sworn to kill. Some of Roland's abilities are meant to supplement and support the party. His Leadership skill can boost the party's experience gains, while his Medical skill will increase health regeneration, and Support will increase weapon damage or regenerate ammunition for the party, Roland is a soldier class and the only class that doesn't have to worry about ammo as a special backpack produces an infinite supply. Lilith Once a human, Lilith at one point was turned into a siren. One of only six Sirens, they are a group of people with unbelievable powers, but no way to control them. She comes to Pandora in search of another Siren, in an effort to find out more about herself. Lilith is essentially the mage of the group, using her Siren powers to support the group and attack the enemy. Some of her powers include the ability to increase the group's rate of fire, as well as the power to create temporal bubbles, which she can manipulate to slow down enemies and hostile projectiles or speed up allies. Mordecai Mordecai came to Pandora in search of a man from his past named Demosthenes. Upon learning that Demosthenes has died, Mordecai sets off to learn how he died and what he was carrying. Mordecai's play style is that of a lone ranger, preferring to snipe enemies from afar. Some of his special abilities can augment the party's damage from headshots or give accuracy boosts and is a hunter class. Later in the game, he will befriend a bird-like creature named Bloodwing that will assist in combat. Brick A massive specimen of a man who likes to use his fists to smash the enemy above all else. He wears a necklace adorned with the paw of his beloved deceased dog. He fills in the tank niche and can take quite a beating as well having the ability to chug berserker-state inducing pills for short bursts of power. Screenshots Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler MULTIPLAYER STUFFS! You can play with up to four other players, regardless of which class they went with. You want a team of tanks? Y'all roll Bricks'. XP is given equally but loot is free for all, shoot your own team if you have to get it before them. ( I don't recommend that, unless you're Roland and are actually healing them). There is a PvP mode of deathmatch but its not what you bought the game for. For alls yous PC guys...

BRICK LILITH MORDECAI ROLAND Elemental Damage, Weapons, and You! Incendiary elemental property adds the effect of fire to weapons, mods, shields and some enemies. It is most effective against unshielded, flesh enemies, such as Bruisers and Skags. Incendiary weapons bullet burst into flames when they impact. When a fire element triggers, the enemy is lit on fire, dealing damage over time. If the enemy dies due to fire damage, their corpse will burn away. Corrosive weapons cause splashes of acid to corrode at enemies. Corrosive weapons are effective against heavily armored enemies, like Skags or Spiderants. When a corrosive weapon's effect triggers, the enemy will start to take damage over time. The damage is less than that of a fire weapon of the same level, but the corrosive damage also makes the enemy more vulnerable to all damage while it is in effect. Enemies that die to corrosive damage will melt away. Shock weapons crackle with electricity and are very effective against shields, making them useful against shielded bandits and alien guardians. Shock bullets will crack with electricity when they impact. When a shock weapon's effect triggers, high damage is dealt to the enemy's shield and they take damage over time. If an enemy dies to shock damage, their face burns away and reveals their skull. Explosive weapons' bullets explode when they impact, making them very effective against groups of lesser enemies. The explosions deal splash damage to nearby enemies when the effect triggers. Enemies that die to an explosive weapon blow into pieces. Levels of Effect: The level of elemental effect on your gun effects two things: 1. How likely an element effect is to occur 2. How likely a more powerful element effect is to occur So higher element level means there is more potential for you to score elemental attacks and more potential for them to be largely damaging. Now on to the extremely interesting part, how each weapon scores and elemental hit: Snipers: By far one of the most interesting, Snipers actually charge their element between shots. So the longer between your shots, the higher the chance is of a high elemental effect. Revolvers: Slightly interesting as well, with a Revolver it's just a roll of the dice. Almost every shot will have element to it, but most times it will be a low level. Keep shooting and you're likely to hit the jackpot and score a high element burst. SMG/Repeater Pistol: Each bullet has a chance to inflict the gun's max element effect. Combat Rifle/Machine Pistol: The first few shots of a burst will have higher chances to inflict a high level element effect. Shotgun: Another gamble with elemental damage but a bit different from the Revolver. With Shotguns it's: all pellets have an elemental effect or none of the pellets have an elemental effect. Rocket Launcher: Always scores a high rank elemental effect. Rarity! From Bestest to Worstest! Pearl Dark Orange Orange Yellow Purple Blue Green White Understanding Flavor Text!

uh.

I like it. The OP that is. I haven't played Borderlands.. is it good?

It's almost time for me to blow shit up in lands with borders on my PC. Let's get drunk to celebrate!

need two more people for the 4-pack. if I miss this I'm going to be sad. I mean, I'll have $34 more in my pocket, but I will still be sad. PM me if you're interested!

I would just like to say I don't not have this game, but will be getting it for 360. It is impossible to find this game without a preorder and after phoning a dozen stores all sold out of their non preorder copies within the first 2 hours. This make my borderlands boner very close to asplosion.

Alright, add me to the Wanglands tag, GT is my PA handle. I may be able to play later today, but I have to get some serious progress on one of my last assignments. Also, my Pearl weapon stats. Pearl Shotgun Damage: 46x9 Accuracy: 45.8 Fire Rate: 0.6 Magazine: 6 Plus 15% damage Minus 52 recoil reduction Minus: 25% fire rate. It's served me well so far.

So I'm playing a Siren with some friends and it's been fairly meh so far, but we just got the incendiary artifact. When I phasewalk a small nuke goes off in my wake and now I love her.

I'm eagerly awaiting the unlocking.

Okay, so I found my first gun with the "And they call me maaaaaaaaaaad!" property. My god that's hilarious.

Maybe have a nap this afternoon so i can play this game all night.

whyt isn't this unlocked yet? ff

Also coming out of phasewalk right next to exploding barrels is a terrible idea but far too hilarious not to do if there are enemies around them.

GJ keeping up with the fast threads Axen. IT'S OUT TOMORROW *SQUEEEEEE*

I'm jumping online now and starting a game. GT is Gathlayo

I feel like it's some weird version of x-mas tommorow. but instead of waking up to presents it's waking up to shooting people in the face all day.

Fuck tomorrow is going to be so long. But when I get home, I'm going to border the fuck out of those lands

Where the hell is the repair kit for the robot in sledges safehouse?

New thread smell! yay!
