    Yeah, that sucks. :(

    Good games though. :D I have no idea how we actually made it through sledge's area.

    edit: also, does brick actually punch people to set them on fire?

    Sorry that I had to leave before Sledge's place. What we did was all good fun though.

    I <3 my purple sniper rifle that fires electric rounds.

    Has anyone else had trouble with the mission where you collect parts for a sniper rifle? I know exactly where the objective marker for the body is, but I've searched everywhere around it and can't physically find it.

    None of the parts are on the actual marker. All the sniper rifle parts are near that area, so look all around, up on the walkways, around the building, etc. They're all there.

    Yes they are, they are all precisely where their marker is, you just aren't looking on all the levels.

    Ive had extensive glitchiness on this quest, and the similar one for revolvers later. If you do some of it in co-op or split screen, you can run into trouble...

    Same happened to me. The market indicated the.. scope I think was near a circular hut, but it was instead around the cliff a bit on a stone staircase kind of area. Spent forever going around and on top of that hut going "wtf."

    the "all levels" part bit me a short while later in the
    safehouse when the repair kit was on neither level I could access, so I was thinking it could be anywhere, but nope, tucked in a small alcove in the ceiling.

    Hey PA Borderwang-ers, sorry if i haven't been responding to friend requests or game invites. This game has had me attached to it like heroin laced peanut butter cookies. Now that i've beaten the game once around i'll keep my eyes open a bit more. Level 42 hunter at the moment, going to make one of each class eventually.

    Anyways, a while back on the official forums (and on here as well I believe) I saw people complaining that you couldn't have more than 2 vehicles. Well ladies and gentlemen, my pal and I have uh...

    click pic for big

    We're not entirely sure how it happened, but if you want to replicate it for whatever reason:

    We had 3 people in our party, and brought two cars over from one area to the next. While we were in the second area, we had one player leave the party and game. When our host went to spawn a vehicle, it ended up spawning a 3rd car.

    Yep. Me and a buddy spent at least five minutes looking for that damn thing. While messing around on one of the nearby cliffs, I happened to catch a glimpse of a green beam of light. I went over to it assuming that we must have missed some loot. Nope, it was the final piece. It was a good 50 feet away from that hut.

    For me every one of those scavenger quests the marker only indicated the area all the pieces were in, not the actual location of each piece. Which made all those quests maddening.

    No sir it was not.

    I was at level 12 when I got it, it was a Level 5 sniper rifle with really nothing special about it.

    I think it has been said before, but the name of these achievements, NPCs, and quests are awesome.

    "My Brother is an Italian Plumber" Kill an enemy by stomping on its head. :D

    edit- Also I walked past an NPC in New Haven and he said, "Now that you mention it, I DO love standing around doing nothing!"

    edit 2- While this game and Fallout 3 have very little in common, I still find myself holding X to holster my weapon every time I go to New Haven.

    edit 3- Sonavabitch I thought I was crazy, but I am not! There IS another weapon vending machine in New Haven, though it does not seem to always appear. I think I saw a third one behind some buildings as well. . . but maybe that was heat stroke.

    Revolvers are more of my thing, especially the ones that have scattershot like a shotgun, but with 90% accuracy. Combine that with the one I found that
    regenerates ammo
    and i'm an unstoppable force. Haven't really played with many repeaters, they feel more akin to burst fire rifles than handguns though.

    I only use weapons that feel like they could take out bandits in one crit. I don't have the patience to headshot 10-20 freaking times.

    Plus, they look badass.

    He does in Berserk mode if you have an artifact.

    Except it's more like exploding them on fire.

    Alright.

    Because that is seriously pretty goddamn awesome.

    I played through like 20 levels splitscreen with a friend last night and once we got the shock artifact he turned into this hilarious killing machine. Also he notes that you get crits by punching people in the face, which is awesome.
