    That Ogre, while badass, is 21 levels higher and not quite as badass as mine.

    I almost hate it for being so awesome and making everything else suck in comparison.

    Those mashers are bitchin' , though.

    6 fire rate on a Gasher?

    I thought those had pretty high fire rates, since they're burst-fire

    I seem to remember getting one with like, 22 fire rate

    Alright so me and my friends have been playing this on and off for the year it has been out. We just hit 50 after beating most of playthrough 2 and zombie island. We started up General Knoxx on pt2 and got our asses HANDED to us, as in we could barely even hurt some of the initial enemies that show up in the hub town. We haven't farmed weapons or anything, we're just using the best of what we're finding after questing.

    Are we doin' it wrong? Are you meant to play through on pt1 first and then come back to pt2?

    Those stupid flying trash cans die pretty well to shock weapons. For ninjas try to have someone in your party with a Daze effect (Siren's Controller tree or Bloodwing). Leave the midget in the shack alone for now.

    Yeah, in Knoxx you should be rolling with a shock gun and an acid gun at the very least. I leveled my pistol proficiency pretty nicely on first play through of Knoxx because my Pestilent Defiler was the best acid gun I had.

    So I rolled up a new mord last night after not having played BL for a couple months, forgot how much fun it is to pop people's heads off with the sniper rifles. Made it up to 4-5 before I had to crash, would love to get into some multi - but I'm a noob who's never done such. I got an invite a bit ago to the group, but I never see anyone in chat. Also I guess I need a Gamespy ID to do online?

    Ogres are the best gun.

    A good Blastmaster mod and an Ogre turns you into a grinder. Nothing left but tiny little pieces.

    played with a guy last night who was also running a brick alt

    we agreed that stat SHOULD have been a brick skill

    but yeah, blastmaster is great - providing you get a kill first to start things off

    i found myself greatly missing roland's +magazine size skills. my ogre has a 55 clip, but when master blaster procs, that gets used up in a jiffy

    anyway, haven't really played long enough at high levels to form a conclusive opinion, i still need to find a decent fatal crux or blast hammer

    i dunno, the difference between 49 and 69 is 20 levels or so i've heard, think i want to level up first before doing knoxx/craw

    also: the destroyer dies in 5 seconds to a brick

    1. toss all of your explosive betties into the mouth

    2. watch credits

    Question:

    I play borderlands on the PC.
    Can I monkey with my character using willowtree or whatever to adjust my backpack slots to the maximum LEGAL (72) number and still be able to play in multiplayer games?

    I don't want to hack anything else, and I don't want 3000 slots, I just want to give myself the 72 maximum legal/allowed slots without RELOADING SEVERAL HUNDRED TIMES IN PT2 TRYING TO GET THE GODDAM SDU FROM THE CLAPTRAP RESCUES OH GOD KILL ME.

    However, it's not worth it if by editing my slots, I somehow corrupt/flag my character as a hackZ0r and am no longer able to play in Mplayer games, or somehow screw up other people's characters.

    Thanks for any clarification here.

    zhen, you can edit your save to have pretty much whatever and it won't flag anything except impossible guns (which get removed anyway)

    what i did was give myself a nice 60 slots on my main roland and 100 for the bank. all subsequent patches/DLC didn't do squat to them

    THAT SAID

    you're not at 61, so this won't apply to you if you do your editing now. :^:

    Thanks guys - i'll just wait until I get all the way through PT2, get above level 61, and then use WillowTree to up my slots to 72. This way, I should be just fine - and not "technically" cheating too badly.

    this is about as "cheating" as using oasis - you're just doing what the game should have done in the first place
