    okay so, I found a rocket launcher with 4x corrosive damage. it'd be pretty damn sweet if it had more than one shot.

    of course, this is just the filler weapon while I wait to grow into the level 25, 4x incendiary launcher with base damage of close to 500 and 3 shots a clip.

    EDIT: Also, I love the claptrap when you first go to the Rust Commons.

    So cool.

    Man, I have a helix acid rocket launcher that does 500 or something damage per rocket. (It shoots 3 rockets at a time but only uses one rocket ammo per shot)

    It has 2 + 5 + 3 rockets I think. 2 in the original magazine, five more due to skills and three more due to class mod. Also, whenever I kill an enemy I gain a fire rate boost and then that thing isn't as much a rocket launcher as it is an acid thrower.


    I also just finished the game
    Too many bosses are immune to acid

    Never had a good fire gun so never tried.

    Some might be.

    I just used my awesome shotgun on the final boss. 85x12 damage per individual hit, and the spread on it was so wide I was doing somewhere around 1k per round, at 12 rounds to a drum/clip. Oh and it did explosive damage, too. The boss fight might be a little more interesting with more folks.

    hmm... oh well. I'mma go grab something to eat, then continue to play. I have to grab some booze for a guy.

    So apparently, I'm now B&D Deliveries.

    EDIT:
    upon inspection of google, I find that this is only a local business. They deliver boozes and other things directly to your home, after you order by phone and credit card (or something).

    I have yet to find a better shotgun than the lucky one I got back in the Arid (whatever): 60x12 damage

    best I've seen since is a 60x9 that I just sold.

    the whole ending felt really really rushed and rather disappointing

    but it sure is fun running around blasting dudes in the face so the game is alright

    That last section with the approach to the vault reminded me of the snowy levels from Halo.

    I am the worst sniper, sometimes.

    But it's just so much fun to run in and shotgun a dude's head off, thus activating my enhanced regen, and heading off to the next victim.

    I was. . .34, I think when I finished, and killing the endboss bumped me to 35. Just keep moving to evade the flying spine things and shoot his tentacles too, not just his giant glowing eye, even if it goes against everything classic gaming has taught you.

    Pretty much the same layout I've got, only dropping the points into Sniper Critical Damage % instead of increased magazines.

    Orikae invited me to play with him and Melding. They were 40. My highest guy was 28.

    It turned into me hiding in the car and hoping it wouldnt blow up most of the time. Then level 40 bandits blew me the fuck up and spawncamped me at the town. It was the best worst multiplayer game ever.

    Much later I beat the end boss by leaping behind a large chunk of rubble and shooting at a tentacle with a shotgun until it died, about 10 minutes later.

    To kill the end boss 60% of the time, everytime.
    Duck behind one of the two tall pillars, shoot the big purple bulge in each of the tentacles to get them to go away and stop launching those spines at you. Shoot him in the big blue eye in the center. Duck behind the pillars when the two tentacles on the ground raise up and slam the ground. Duck behind cover when the blue eye in the center turns purple and fires a laser at you. Congratulations, remember to pick up your shit after the cinematic.

    how I killed it:
    Run around like a madman shooting at the purple blobs until it spawns the gigantic tentacles.

    Rush off to the right of it, there should be a large L shaped chunk of ruins you can hop up on and crouch behind. Nothing the boss shoots at you will touch you. Hold down button while pointing at the exposed bit of tentacle.

    Not included: Me dying a few dozen times before figuring this out.
