go kill king mong, while you're over on that side, unlock the electric field to the infested grotto close to the dividing gate
it usually spawns some bullymongs in there, and after you kill them, 2 superbadass bullymongs
lately, i've found they aren't worth the loot in the car chest down there
king mong has some excellent loot tables though
No idea where he is in that area. I didn't spend much time exploring it.

King Mong spawns by the big rock near the Arid badlands entrance. If you turn right from the car spawn and go through the gate. Go left down the road and across the bridge and he'll spawn in that rough area.
Can anyone confirm or deny about not being able to get Moxxi's Bad Touch in TVH mode if you got it in PT1? Trying to find something to down a certain giant robot quickly with.
No clue. Depending on where you are in the story (and platform) you can always just farm Michael M... Dammit in Sanctuary for a nice corrosive weapon. I'm not ashamed to say I did it.
Is that the guy they put in there as a tribute to some dead gamer? I've seen him like once. Isn't there a quest trigger for him as well?
Yep. On 360, at least, he's there pretty much ALL the time, and given the quantity of shiny he gives out, is probably not intended to be. No triggers I'm aware of, but he does go away after a certain quest step.

For some reason on unpatched consoles, Michael shows up 100% of the time before
Sanctuary flies.
Then he is set to the correct percentage of 10% (which is his constant PC/Patched percentage of appearing). He does show up afterwards. Just rarely, also he usually spawns near a named NPC (Marcus, Moxxi, Tannis, Scooter, Earl, Zed and ClapTrap). He has no associated quest, he does have an achievement, and he always gives you a Blue or higher item, leveled to the Host.

Yeah, that really didn't tell me anything beyond "some dead gamer". Not really worth running all over Sanctuary trying to find him on an off chance.
Yes but he is worth trying to farm a few weapons to get going in playthrough 2 after you get to sanctuary, because even if you had lvl 30 purples coming in, damn near every weapon you bring with you from playthrough 1 isnt shit compared to playthrough 2.
its a nice if morbid tribute to a fan. which is a cool thing to do

Yeah, he's actually worth farming. I probably made 100k + picked up a ton of gun upgrades (some purple) and a VERY nice purple shield. Made the dam a lot easier to have high-end corrosive/shock SMGs. If you're on PC, maybe tougher, true.

Not at level 48. There's a red chest I can get to, loot, and log out and respawn it in 30 seconds time. I'm sitting at almost 3,000,000 right now. It's giving me everything EXCEPT a decent acid SMG though.
Guys I haven't posted in the thread before, but just have to say assassin skill BORE is amazing. Literally double crit head shot kill. Made me so happy
Can someone direct me to a link/video for the Fyrestone area chest run? I just got into the area on PT2 and want to do a little farming.
I don't know of a video, but I can describe my path. I just run straight through town ignoring everything to spawn Saturn, kill him and take the lift up. Kill off the mooks and then the badass constructor, then clear out the info dump. I can usually snag theo Hyperion lockers before the dual constructors spawn. I kill those, then climb the ladder for the red Hyperion chest. From there I jump back down onto the roadway.
Right by there is an elevated platform with a switch. Hit that to unlock the door to Zed's old place, then beeline back there trough the junk loaders and grab that red chest too.
Hmmm...I thought there was another run. Something that involved less "pew pew".
theres 3 red chests in town: 1 in zed's old place, 1 in the rocks behind the ammo dispensary, 1 on the roof of the bus depot where you fight Saturn. Then kill Saturn and the badass constructor. Then get the 1 red chest from the top floor of the info stockade, and then the 2 white chests from the floor below that, and you're done.
all in all its 4 red chests, 2 white chests, and 2 boss kills every run.
good games tonight, thanks remura and pierceneck.
Man, if you thought wildlife exploitation reserve was bad try it on pt2 when you are 8 levels under the host, thats just nasty
I mean, let's compare Diablo 3 and Borderlands 2. I feel like BL2 throws far more loot at you than D3. Most of the loot you find in D3 isn't even usable by the class you're currently playing as. In Borderlands 2, loot is more universal and overall more useful. I mean, in D3 you're pretty much looking for DPS. In BL2, so many items offer vastly different playstyles... And in D3 you can carry and store a bajillion items, most of them useless. In BL2 you can barely store anything, most of it useful.
Maybe I'm being a little unfair to Diablo 3 but I feel the inventory management in Borderlands 2 is really painful.
I'd say a pretty big difference is that whites in Diablo 3 are absolutely never worth picking up, while in Borderlands they're at least worth picking up to sell and might actually have decent stats once in a while.

I picked up an orange acidic Bandit pistol, a purple Maliwan E-Tech acidic rocket launcher, and a nice purple acidic grenade singularity mod farming the chest at the end of the Arid Boneyard. Couple all that with Maya's gathering/elemental/phase ability and it's a pretty quick run getting all those chests in the Badlands. Still would kill for a decent acid SMG though and maybe some better accessories.
I'm running "Where Angels Fear to Tread", and even though I'm at the right level for it, one Badass Loader (and his human reinforcements) at the 'Kill You' Door is enough to stop me cold.

You were holding up remarkably well, all things considered.
Why haven't I seen anyone complain about rabid stalkers? My new least favorite enemy.
rabid stalker complaints are so one week ago (by me, and others!)
though, as stupid as their perma-disorient charge is, it's really almost impossible to not second wind off them immediately after going down unless you're just slacking on keeping your guns current/having really poor drops.

what i've heard is that you can get one anytime afterward, but the chance is very small
tip hundreds
(or you can have someone else - any level - come into your hosted game and pay the 15k if they haven't done so, you'll definitely get it then)

Wait, you mean in multi you both get a gun? And it is leveled to you?
For the record, I have one bad touch and I has about 9 or 10 good touches. So I think it's just one bad touch.
the tundra express one is the easiest. just go left through the varkid field, round the corner a little and jump off the edge before the turret and there is a red chest. quit and restart and do it again

I have put my farming on hold. I am praying for an updated version of willowtree in the near future, and then farming can kiss my ass.

who do you get that off of?
No, but he really sounds like him. It's almost distracting.
And some whites are even useful in BL2. Rarely, but sometimes.
Not for me. Unless he's really good at hiding. Not on the PC anyway.
I scoured Sanctuary every time I went back (before the event you mention) and saw him once total in my entire playthrough..
On the PC, he's 10% all the time. It's only on consoles running an unpatched game that he shows up all the time before said event.
Wait, you mean in multi you both get a gun? And it is leveled to you?
For the record, I have one bad touch and I has about 9 or 10 good touches. So I think it's just one bad touch.
I must be really unlucky because it must have been something like 1% for me, unless I somehow missed him.
Edit: CHEST runs.
I've seen him 3 times on PC in 95 hours played. So your experience sounds about right to me.
i actually have never seen him on the PC
