    NECA was on-hand at Comic-Con this past weekend, showing off the prototype above. The final version, which will be able to recite lines from the game, is slated for release this October. Frankly, we can't wait to get our own, mostly because we've always wondered what kind of loot our house has been hiding.

    i want it

    assuming every single shot hits you'd be doing base 2508 damage per shot, add Mordecai's Gun Crazy and you could probably pop Craw in under 20 seconds...

    this thing is craw's worst nightmare. my soldier's heavy gunner mod increases the clip to 5 and the fire rate +65%

    it's pretty awesome :D

    that and i found a 700+ damage penetrator, so that's awesome too

    The heavy gunner mod weirds me out with my some of the revolvers. A revolver obviously has a certain amount of chambers and seeing it keep on shooting weirds me out a little bit.

    Yeah I just did my second run. Haven't found any "ZOMG!" weapons for my Soldier yet, but if I was a different class. . . .

    I did find a 5 line Rifleman Mod that is sexy as fuck though. :D

    edit- going for a third run. If any, this is addicting as fuck.

    So great screenshot opporunities are so common that I have bound it to clicking the middle mouse button. I'll inundate the thread later today with them if I remember when I get home, BUT I wanted to ask you guys if you knew how to change the default format for screenshots? Currently they're all in BMP, which isn't exactly a pain in the ass to change over, but if I can avoid this minor inconvenience, that'd be swell.

    Also I'm pretty much gonna have to kill you know, cheers, mate!

    Just done the third farmory run and not asingle keeper. Funnily enough the guns I do use are actually dirt cheap in comparison to the ones I end up picking up. Next time through I'm finishing the mission for real, it's getting kind of tedious killing knoxx over and over again.

    I finally finished this a few days ago, and I have a question. Is Baron Flynt meant to drop anything good?

    I couldn't check as when I finally beat him - using Sledge's Shotgun - he flew backwards faster than Ellen Burstyn in The Exorcist, off the top of the excavator thingy and kept going until he was a speck on the horizon. I never found his body. :(

    He does drop a gun, but I can't recall if it was anything worth getting. I believe bosses respawn though, so if you travel back up he may be there again.

    Is Moxxi worth it for the storage? Cause I'll be damned if the actual gameplay would run alright. I get around 20fps at worst in knoxx and I can only imagine Moxxi being severely worse with more enemies.

    So I'm curious if the fact that the 360 versions of the DLC are on sale this week indicates that they might go on sale for the PC too soon?

    Is there any way to know this?

    Or, I guess similar question, is there any way to know ahead of time what the specials will be on steam?

    I depends, it's a question of fun now vs. no fun at all, or fun now vs. fun later thing. My wife and I played through slow enough and we're each busy enough that I waited and lucky got the steam sale, and we're only now getting into Knoxx for PT1. If you will get more fun than a theater movie out of it, then it's probably worth the cash now. Unless the enemies don't scale past 51, you can enjoy it after playing through the game (I'm not certain what they scale up to as I'm not past 51 yet and the wiki sin't specific on this).

    We had alot of fun with Moxxi though, and will likely go back for shoots and giggles once we get some better gear. We honestly had a hard time with round 4 on two of the maps.

    If I was playing solo, I probably wouldn't have had any fun with Moxxi. My primary complaint with Moxxi is that I don't level weapons in there. There are all sorts of fun rules that push me to try out rarely used weapons (why yes! I DO have a purple double anarchy in my inventory that I never used, why do you ask?) and I don't get the bonus of leveling the weapon skill.

    Remove experience, fine, better than fine as I would be insanely overleveled instead of incredibly overleveled if I had earned XP in there, but at least give me weapons experience!

    It's a shotgun with a 6 round clip that empties itself when you pull the trigger. It's kind of meh.

    Sometimes it shoots rockets. But not the real rockets, the shotgun kind of rockets.

    Okay, I just found a lvl 25 Firefly mod with +40% Ignite damage, +3 Spark, and +28% elemental effect chance. I also found a lvl 25 Fearsome Volcano, and an orange lvl 25 machine pistol with a lvl 4 Ignite chance that apprently fires incendiary bullets (that do more damage than anything I have except the sniper rifle). My Siren is lvl 22.

    Yeah, had Moxxi had one (or both) of two things, I would get it.

    1) Weapon proficiency.
    2) Account shared stash.

    I don't care about normal XP; there's more than enough of that to go around already. It's harder to not grossly outlevel everything after the very end of playthrough 1 with Knoxx and Ned already.

    And I don't even care too much that individual enemies don't drop loot.

    But those two things. It has neither.

    At level 40, you might be better off going back to the main game.

    Knoxx runs should keep you leveling up pretty well, though.

    Speaking of Knoxx runs, I just picked up an orange from the chest midget leading up to knoxx. A scoped Wildcat. WTF.
