[peak ether]

Instead of fully fledged out characters you make your own

[shrewd rampart]

He hated bl4...and if he hated bl4...it had to be cooked.

[peak ether]

And you pick a primary class at the start of the game which is permanent choice

[tender aspen]

Good man

[peak ether]

After Torgue blows up the ocean you can pick a second class

[shrewd rampart]

He was one of those jolly fellows you really had to slight him before he disliked something.

[peak ether]

Which is locked until you finish the story

After you beat the story you can change your second class whenever you want

[shrewd rampart]

Sounds like a watered down Grim Dawn.

[peak ether]

Also they gave all the manus new names

To fit more with the game's tone

[shrewd rampart]

I heard something of a recovering Lootaholic which I found funny.

But go play Grim Dawn.

They're doing some J.R.R Martin shit with the latest DLC, but that game is good...

[peak ether]

Jakobs - Blackpowder
Hyperion - Hyperius
CoV - Skulldugger
Vladof - Stoker
Tediore - Feriore
Torgue - Torgue
Pangolin - Pangoblin
Anshin - Ashen

Except Torgue

Torgue is just so full of energy he gets to keep his gun's name

Which leads me to the funny thought of

The company behind Bunkers and Badasses couldn't legally use the gun brand's names but because Torgue is such a huge fan he probably gave them full permission for $5 and a high five

[shrewd rampart]

I am a bit jealous that Torgue out here doing more work than my favorite company. He's out here aura farming--even losing--and he still cooking better than Jakobs who gets a bit of a tweak in BL1 with some Michael Jackons Terror DLC.

[peak ether]

The Eden 6 arc of Bl3's story is getting the Jakobs company back into the hands of the Jakobs family

[shrewd rampart]

My favorite company is ran by doorknobs that got some weird ass wedding which I have no interest in.

[peak ether]

Dlc 3 takes place on a planet they fucked up so hard people refuse to speak their name

[shrewd rampart]

Yeah so I cannot insult Torgue in any way, shape, or form, he out here doing some seriously cool stuff while my favorite company getting roasted without doing anything.

I may not like Torgue firearms, but Mr. Torgue is awesome.

[peak ether]

Honestly Wainwright is one of the better Bl3 characters

My mans just wanted to live his life in peace

[shrewd rampart]

I've read better fan fics than whatever Gearbox farted out for borderlands 3 lore.

[peak ether]

Then all of a sudden his dad is killed right in front of him and his company stolen by his boyfriend's sister

Bl3 has good ideas bad execution

[shrewd rampart]

You previously were pushing me towards bl3 play...now I am being pushed away.

[peak ether]

Trust me no one plays it for the story

[shrewd rampart]

I noticed.

[peak ether]

I'm just stating what I feel

[shrewd rampart]

I did that nonsense with Diablo 3 whose story is just ass.

[peak ether]

Like this is me

[shrewd rampart]

You knew that dumb doorknob that is...whatever chick's mom isbad, but for plot reasons you gotta let her live...then ya plug her in the dlc.

[peak ether]

You have to royally fuck up to make me hate something

I liked mother fucking Devil May Cry 2

Now that's a bad game

Worst most people get is a passing glance or apathy

[shrewd rampart]

I have some problems with bl3 onwards that are the same with overwatch and some other games that I am not interested in...pouring the gas on the fire here.

And lets just leave it at that.

[peak ether]

Shitty companies

Yeah I know

Why you won't catch me dead playing modern CoD

[shrewd rampart]

Call of Duty is just ass.

It has been ass for a decade.

The last one I bought was Black Ops 2 and I was so bored of the guns I went knife and hatchet throw build.

[peak ether]

Bl3 at least under all the drama questionable decisions and Randy's bullshit is a good game

[shrewd rampart]

BL3 has solid gameplay if ya scrub away the plot.

[peak ether]

Most games at the time and after can't say that

Hell Wonderlands still felt like a good game with passion

4 is just

It feels like they fired everyone who worked on 3 and Wl

[shrewd rampart]

I'm just the point where I am a tripmine. If something hits me wrong...that's it. I go boom and go find something else to do.

Wonderlands intrigued me but it was when I was suffering borderlands burnout.

[peak ether]

But you've probably noticed I constantly bounce around the whole series

[shrewd rampart]

That's fine.

[peak ether]

I'm still new to it tho

I only have 1 character and am learning

When it dropped I had zero interest in it

And I was close to the point I put down Bl3 for a good 2-3 years

[shrewd rampart]

I am an old hate sponge that is basically a claymore mine ready to go off due everything, but that is me. You do you, and whatever you like is fine.

[peak ether]

Yes I actually did this

Only played 1 and hated everything that wasn't it

Feels weird looking back

[shrewd rampart]

bl3 pissed me off so bad due to Gearbox' selling out to Epic for a six month deal. That shattered my loyalty to any company afterwards. From that point onwards they ceased being something of a family thing and just another company for me to glance at to see if I am interested in.

Then they shut down the forums. It took me years before I could touch a Borderlands game or anything community related without becoming mentally ill.

[peak ether]

I made my Gbx forum account like

The year it shut down

[shrewd rampart]

I came back about the time it did.

[peak ether]

Anyways I'd like to move the conversation to something else

[shrewd rampart]

I had removed my guides...hindsight I wish I didn't, but they weren't that great anyways...not now...especially since they are archived on a website ya gotta know exists.

I like tacos.

[peak ether]

On this topic

If you try to ask me my favorite anything I usually can't answer

Because that kinda isn't how I think

[shrewd rampart]

So you don't have a favorite gun?

[peak ether]

At most I can give you is my favorite color is pink

[peak ether]

Nope

[shrewd rampart]

Or one you just lean into.

[peak ether]

I have a list of ones I like and know are effective

But I can't pick out a favorite

Same thing with manus, characters, skills

[shrewd rampart]

Beyond being a Jakobs diehard, I really do not have a favorite. I might favor the Buffalo, or perhaps the Skullmasher, maybe the Judge, or some other Jakobs...but it will be a Jakobs.

[peak ether]

I also don't have a gun I despise with a passion

[molten crown]

@tender aspen

i did it

[peak ether]

I know I've said this before but I have Autism

So that shapes how I see things

[shrewd rampart]

Stinkpot makes me...

[peak ether]

I mostly just see things and speak bluntly

[shrewd rampart]

Stinkpot is a very niche cannon that hopes you have two brain cells fighting for third place while also being dedicated to Jakobs.

[peak ether]

I can give you a full rundown on every Bl1 VH, pearl, and legendary

But if you wanted me to pick a favorite I just go

"Roland is a well rounded character that has good survival skills, ammo/grenade regen, good team play options, but lacks raw dmg"

Also Metal Storm

Everybody likes Metal Storm

I will say though the Executioner is possibly the gun option I get the most eyebrows at defending

Like it's a good gun

After using it I can not fathom what universe it isn't

A 5 shot burst laser beam of a sniper

It just does not kick

And it has that Hyperion almost perfect accuracy

[shrewd rampart]

Me reading all this while trying to figure out how to use the Jakobs Rough Rider on all the Vault Hunters Nnnnnngggg...I Jakobs...I make thinks happenss.

[peak ether]

RR on Gaige is a decision

[shrewd rampart]

I might be able to do it with the UCP patch since it sauces her up a tad.

But her shield skills are very hard to pass up. With Axton I have some alternatives.

[peak ether]

Gaige effectively only has shield survival

[shrewd rampart]

Yeah.

[peak ether]

So she rivals Zer0 for worst RR user

[shrewd rampart]

Maya is not that great either.

[peak ether]

Krieg it's his best shield

[shrewd rampart]

She lacks overall damage mitigation.

[peak ether]

Period

Sal has other options but RR is one of the good ones

[shrewd rampart]

This is without UCP as well.

[peak ether]

Axton and Maya can make it work if you know what you're doing

[shrewd rampart]

Oh I know Axton well with RR, but Maya...she struggles. I can probably do it, but she has to play a peak-a-boo style in order to pull it off.

[peak ether]

Most characters it's not my first pick

[shrewd rampart]

On paper her sustain is great, but it is situational, and she lacks the bulk as well as something like Axton's Grit.

RR Axton is good up until 72-80, but OP levels his damage falls off bad.

But even then...it's like trying to chug a bottle of some really nasty alcohol. You can do it, but it ain't a smooth ride.

Now RR/Legendary Pointman Axton with Jakobs? That dude is a monster.

[peak ether]

Meanwhile 3 RR

3 RR just sucks

Period

[shrewd rampart]

3 RR?

[peak ether]

No character has a use case

[peak ether]

Yes it's in 3

[shrewd rampart]

Okay, speak idiot to me. What is 3 RR?

[peak ether]

Rough Rider

[shrewd rampart]

Oh...they brought the RR over into 3.

[peak ether]

In Bl3

Yeah

[shrewd rampart]

Took me a second.

[peak ether]

But there isn't a single character that has any synergy with it

[shrewd rampart]

...why.

[peak ether]

So it just exists as a legendary

[shrewd rampart]

It is the most niche weapon...they could NOT make something better or expand upon the Jakobs shield line?

[peak ether]

It's an Anshin now

[shrewd rampart]

Sweet mother of balls I can think of shields like Ironclad from the Civil War, Bearhide, Razorback, and other shit and I am slightly intoxicated and in need of bed time.

[peak ether]

Because Bl3 only has 3 manus that make shields

[shrewd rampart]

...............................

Anshin.

[peak ether]

It means relax in Japanese!

Yes that is actually where the name comes from

Their logo in 3 has a Shinto Tori gate

[shrewd rampart]

...Randy...where are you...I want to test how sharp my uncle's Vietnam machete is after I sharpened it...it still has a ton of rust on it....no hard feelings...for you or the rest of the dev team...can we reenact a Crystal Lake massacre?

[peak ether]

3 reworked how shields generate completely

The manu determines the base stats

Then they roll augments that give them their bonus effects

[shrewd rampart]

BUT THE ROUGH RIDER IS ANSHIN. ANSHIN! THE ONE SHIELD JAKOBS HAD.

[peak ether]

Hyperion is the balanced stat option
Pangolin has the fastest recharge delay
And Anshin highest capacity iirc

Yes Anshin stole Pangolin's identity

Grenades also work similarly but instead of base stats manu determines how the grenade is thrown
Atlas - homing
Tediore - lobbed
Hyperion - Longbow
Vladof - Impact
Torgue - Exploader (combination of lobbed and impact where if it hits the ground it rolls a bit but if it hits an enemy explodes instantly)
Pangolin - Rubberized

[shrewd rampart]

...where is Jakobs shield?

[peak ether]

No where

[shrewd rampart]

I am hating Bl3 more and more.

[peak ether]

Shield manus are one of those things that are purely cosmetic to me

It doesn't matter what manu the RR is because it's just the RR to me

The Bulwark in Tps is a Hyperion absorb shield

The BBB is a Torgue booster shield

[shrewd rampart]

Old age Jakobs grumbling while sitting in rocking chair on porch while debating on telling others to get off my lawn

[peak ether]

Now class mod manus

That is something that is completely pointless outside flavor

Which is why 3 coms don't have them

[peak ether]

Outside making Mordy's sniper com rare as fuck for a stupid reason

Because it's Hyperion/Jakobs

Thx Randy

[shrewd rampart]

I remember making the Legendary Pointman into the Legendary Leatherneck COM and making it Jakobs because Axton's face was a shield with the setup, but I cannot do it anymore without some serious effort.

[peak ether]

Now this is a beauty

[shrewd rampart]

With the red text "Retreat? Hell, I just got here!" because I was bum rushing into fights. Even with teammates I was rushing in to throw down.

[peak ether]

That purple sniper you see to the left is a Penetrator lol

Parts are bad so I'll leave it but still neat

Might try the Penetrator for my next kill

Revolver Mordy is better for Craw but

I wasn't respeccing this save

Penetrator strats are more of a Lil thing

Okay this is so much better than the Skullmasher

Garbo loot this time

Never fucking mind

Body 5 Barrel 5 Mat 3

Gonna hand this to my newest Mordy when he hits 69

Because this one already has a Barrel 4 Orion

If you wanna learn Bl1 sniper barrels

B4 is the one with the giant muzzle break

B5 is the very long one

From a Crimson Shorty

That's 2 Penetrators in one night

Also yes I'm using the Elephant Gun

[peak ether]

This is a legendary btw

[fickle fossil]

I have like six of those except 12-shot, and I think I have one with frenzy and one with terrible.

But they're not fun to play with.

I'd rather get a ZZ.

I have a ZZ with the terrible accessory on my level 69 Roland, and it's pretty great.

[peak ether]

Bro what

3 Penetrators

This gun is normally pretty rare for me

[fickle fossil]

Though I wish it were frenzied.

[peak ether]

No accessory on this one

[fickle fossil]

Yea, they're pretty common, I've found.

It's like Christmas when it actually has the accessory.

[peak ether]

I might have a really fucking good Tediore lying around

[fickle fossil]

Still wishing for a b4 w/ frenzy Tediore.

I don't even care if it's mat1.

But it'd be sweet if it were mat2.

[peak ether]

Meanwhile this Atlas

I think that's Frenzied

[fickle fossil]

Yea, that's frenzied.

That's a sick shotgun right there.

[peak ether]

I literally just got another one but with mag 1

Same everything else

Except stock

Stocks are different

[fickle fossil]

I have an angry b4 S&S, but it has the fucking dreaded 2.4x scope.

That bloody scope is on like every good shotgun I've ever found.

[peak ether]

That the iron sight that's really tall?

[fickle fossil]

No, that's the one with the two lenses.

[peak ether]

Oh

Sight 3

That's the one I like the most

[fickle fossil]

haha

I can't stand that one.

Oh, I think it's 2.7x.

Not 2.4x.

[peak ether]

2.7 on Combat Shotguns

3.0 on Assaults

[fickle fossil]

Yea, 3.0.

[fickle fossil]

Which action is on that nasty rebel?

[peak ether]

5

[fickle fossil]

Hot damn.

[peak ether]

But it has a blade

[fickle fossil]

I came across one in the armoury the other day w/ action 2. No accessory though, too.

Well, BLR too, not HRD.

[peak ether]

TK is better dps afaik

HRD is highest per shot dmg

[fickle fossil]

mhm

And then, that's a skullmasher in slot 1?

[peak ether]

Yes

[fickle fossil]

Please tell me it's something other than GGN.

[peak ether]

Body 1 long accessory mag 4

[fickle fossil]

awww

Of course it's GGN!

[peak ether]

I actually prefer GGN on Jakobs snipers

Base dmg is so high I'm fine with the base dmg hit

[fickle fossil]

I have a DVL ZZ without heavy.

No accessory.

[peak ether]

Neat

One of my saves probably has a body 4 Skullmasher

[fickle fossil]

I've seen so many GGN skullmashers. It's ridiculous.

It's like the RNG gods know only body 1.

[peak ether]

VRR Skullmasher is when I cry

[fickle fossil]

lol

[peak ether]

Yeah it still one shots base Lance even body 1

Only time you'd need body 4 dmg is pt2 craw

[fickle fossil]

A man can wish for a DVL550 ZZ Skullmasher w/ heavy, still. Even if it is overkill.

Or 590.

[peak ether]

My ideal Skullmasher for most things is Body 1 Heavy Accessory Mat 2 Mag 4 Stock 5

[fickle fossil]

You don't want the three-round cylinder?

[peak ether]

Idk what number code that is but it'll be GGN ZZ

[peak ether]

Don't like it

[fickle fossil]

That'd be GGN550 ZZ.

The second 5 is mag4.

It'll be a nine if it's three-shot.

[peak ether]

Yeah idk stock+mag codes

I only know what the stocks and mags look like

[peak ether]

What's lvl 68 stats

[fickle fossil]

idk GearCalc only goes to 61.

[peak ether]

I see

[fickle fossil]

It's about 7pts. of dmg per level.

So, 7*10.

[peak ether]

One of my Rolands has a lvl 67 GGN Heavy Mag 4 Mat 3 Skullmasher with 429x6 dmg

[fickle fossil]

Yea, that sounds about right, then.

A level 68 mat2 would do about 400.

[peak ether]

I'm going through all my saves to see the highest base dmg one I have

[fickle fossil]

Unless you have a 68-69 or three-round cylinder, that one would be the highest.

[peak ether]

A different Mordy with
Mat 3 Mag 3 no accessory lvl 68
444x6

[fickle fossil]

Yea, the mag3s have some crazy damage boost.

[peak ether]

A Lilith with
Mat 3 Mag 3 Heavy Accessory GGN lvl 68
471x6

[fickle fossil]

21% damage boost.

[peak ether]

Brick with lvl 68 DVL Mat 2 Mag 3 no accessory
444x6

Looking through the rest they're mostly GGNs

[fickle fossil]

Yea, the ZZ I have is mag4, lvl57.

DVL.

[peak ether]

Finally found a VRR

Mat 3 Mag 4 no accessory
378x6

[fickle fossil]

Nice!

[peak ether]

Most of my saves have a Skullmasher

Because in my eyes it's one of those important to have guns

[fickle fossil]

I don't mind them; I rarely use them.

[peak ether]

They're a prominent Craw option

[fickle fossil]

I'd imagine if I took one to Craw, it'd make the fight go faster than a masher.

[peak ether]

Depends on Character

But yeah I actually don't like body 4 on it

[fickle fossil]

I hear you.

[peak ether]

The Volcano is where I want DVL

[fickle fossil]

I'm going to go play some Minecraft. I'll catch you around.

Yea, Volcanos are fun!

[north prairie]

@unborn swallow

I have an evil idea that COULD work

Beg the poor workers at gearbox support that deal with chuds all day to see if i can get the limited tales x TPS items “legit” in 2026

i just contacted gearbox support to get the loyalty items on my switch account since it didnt go through and they did it for me but now im wondering if i could just get those items too..

[sly ferry]

I was thoroughly surprised to see myself be summobed in this channel, glad it's this, and thank you. I wonder how much of jfv youve read

(go read jfv btw please ask me about jfv)

[tawdry shell]

somehow knoxx-trap ended up in the dahl headland for my friend

[unborn swallow]

[unborn swallow]

I'm glad i can bring some joy to you

[tawdry shell]

oh yeah also managed to snag one of these from undead ned-trap

pretty good, managed to find a redemption shortly after though

[unborn swallow]

I,ve never heard of Onslaught

[peak ether]

Cut legendary

Rocket Launchers were going to have grenade launchers as a sub type

[clear halo]

how it is this skullmasher?

[peak ether]

Alright

VRR is sad but mag 3 can compensate

No accessory too is a bit unfortunate

Also your Ironclad sucks

You can 100% find a purple w/ better stats than it

[fickle fossil]

You know shield parts pretty well, then?

Is that an OBS?

left1 and right1. Yea, definitely could easily find better.

[peak ether]

Yeah

Idk what side correlates with what stat but I know their tiers

So I know what a literal worst shield looks like

[fickle fossil]

Left side is recharge rate. and right side is capacity.

[peak ether]

Sniper bodies are weird because pump actions can't get body 5

So you have to pick between body 1,3, and 4 to go after

And all 3 have merits

[clear halo]

I am using the Ironclad just as good luck

[clear halo]

VRR?

[peak ether]

Body 3

Worst dmg

Buffs tech and fire rate

[clear halo]

Ah interesting

Is the highest damage Skullmasher i found

[fickle fossil]

That'd be the mag3 doing that.

[peak ether]

Body 1 is a smaller dmg nerf and does nothing else

[clear halo]

I imagined

[peak ether]

Body 4 is highest dmg but nerfs fire rate

GGN = body 1
VRR = body 3
DVL = body 4

[clear halo]

I simply only found one pearl Ironclad
While farming for other pearls i am using it for the lulz
Is like level 67 is honestly shit

[clear halo]

Ah is the 0.4 firerate variant i see

[peak ether]

Lvl makes no difference at endgame

[clear halo]

Body4

[peak ether]

It's like

7 points

[clear halo]

I guess i really don’t care
I like have no places where to use pearls

That’s why i stopped

Farming them

There is no point
You just collecting them

[peak ether]

Similar assessment to how I feel about pearls

[clear halo]

Which is what i think is the biggest weakness of BL1 tbf

[peak ether]

The entire rarity feels pointless to me

[clear halo]

You are farming for a 1 in 100 craw kills

At best

And you get a weapon maybe that you won’t use anywhere

Or a shit shield

[peak ether]

All of them could've been legendaries and nothing meaningful would be changed

[clear halo]

At least in BL2 they can drop from the small guys in the Boxxes while you world drop farming

[peak ether]

Ironclad can have the best capacity in the entire game

Keyword can

[clear halo]

All of them could have been 3% drop rate

And nothing would have changed

But like

I think they should have made them all 1% from Craw

[peak ether]

The guns aren't bad it's just good fucking luck finding one with parts that makes you want to use one you found legit

[fickle fossil]

If you got this at level 58, it'd do more damage. lol

[clear halo]

Yeah but also you get these from Craw
Craw is th endest of endgame

So you get a Nemesis

Or a Taunami

Or an Aries

Then what do you do?

[peak ether]

Pick your next words carefully

[clear halo]

Is pure collection pieces

I don’t dislike the concept

[peak ether]

Okay you choose wisely

[clear halo]

But they are so rare that i simply lost interest
I just wanted to find one

Also Craw makes my game crash ever 8 kills

So lol

[peak ether]

The one pearl I care the most about is the Undertaker

[fickle fossil]

You have to throw the weapons off the cliff.

Or sell at the vendor.

[clear halo]

Yeah there is a part of me that wants to build another lilith just for pearl farming

Just grinding a perfect Spectre a decent jakobs sniper and do the Throw away everything

But honestly

[peak ether]

Rest I've gotten at least once and none of them are guns I'd go out of my way to grind for

[clear halo]

I never reached OP10 on BL2 i will rather commit to that rather than spending 1000 hours on BL1 no matter how much i love BL1

[fickle fossil]

Is it evil, Fox?

[peak ether]

But a Brick with an Undertaker is too good to pass up on

[peak ether]

I have multiple Undertakers

[clear halo]

I ain’t particularly lucky

[peak ether]

And I ain't home rn

[clear halo]

The skullmasher i found happened to be the highest dps i found so i asked

[peak ether]

My ideal parts for every pump action sniper are all different from each other tho

Which is funny

And no they aren't all max base dmg

[clear halo]

Anyways
If Knoxx dlc had the fast Travels would be probably my favorite DLC in the franchise

[peak ether]

Eh

[clear halo]

I really do like the Highway setting

[peak ether]

My favorite Bl1 dlc is Underdome ngl

But that's somewhat through process of elimination

Zombie adds nothing important outside an extra SDU

[clear halo]

Yeah lol

I pike robolution a lot

[peak ether]

Robolution added the gift shop and that's it

[clear halo]

Extra skill point

I guess

[peak ether]

Knoxx added an actual endgame but the dlc itself is whatever

Underdome is just pure combat

No fluff

[clear halo]

I like the setting and the characters
There is quite a bit of content

[peak ether]

Meanwhile Bl2 dlc

[clear halo]

The extra Veichles

[peak ether]

I don't feel strongly about any of them

[clear halo]

BL2 dlcs are closer to expansions tbf tho

Except the headhunters

But i get that you would consider them too fluffy

[peak ether]

Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

[clear halo]

Effects of thousands of hours of BL1

[peak ether]

Pretty much

[clear halo]

Honestly i wish i could repeat the circle of duty forever

Tbf

[peak ether]

I used to half heartedly go along with the Underdome hate

Not really fully agree but acknowledge it

Until enough playthroughs going for the extra skill points and I came to enjoy it

[fickle fossil]

WillowTree.

[violet spear]

Stockholm Syndrome but it applies to this whole series.

[clear halo]

Mod right?

[violet spear]

Save editor.

[fickle fossil]

No. It's a tool.

[clear halo]

Ah

I see
I don’t liek messing with them
My brain is too smooth

[violet spear]

Back up your save before messing with stuff and you'll be fine.

[fickle fossil]

WillowTree makes backups automatically.

Well, I guess I'm going to do some farming since now, after all this Bl talk, I'm in the mood.

[modest forum]

Finally got that class mod.

[peak ether]

Skullmasher - Body 1 Mag 4 Mat 2 Stock 5 Heavy Accessory
Volcano - Body 4 Barrel 5 Mag 4 Mat 1 Stock 3
Surkov - Body 4 Mag 3 Mat 3 Stock 5 Heavy Accessory
Cyclops - Body 4 Barrel 4 Mat 1 Mag 4 Stock 5 Heavy Accessory
Bessie - Body 3 Barrel 4 Mag 4 Stock 5 Heavy Accessory
Elephant Gun - Body 1 Heavy Accessory

@fickle fossil what part codes would these be

[fickle fossil]

GGN550 ZZ
DVL350
DVL590/V3
DVL550
VRR550
Elephant gun always says elephant gun.
@peak ether

[peak ether]

Thx

[fickle fossil]

Yup.

[peak ether]

Fyi Bessie is always ZZ because of its unique mat

Welp time for my lvl33 Mordy to finish up pt1 story

I honestly should learn Revolver and Shotgun codes

Because their stocks are invisible

Everything else I go by the gun model

[peak ether]

Mag 2

Unfortunate

[lofty flame]

Looks nice tho

[fickle fossil]

No masher neither.

So sick of seeing RV ZZ mashers and AX ZZs w/o masher.

[shrewd rampart]

Doink.

[clear halo]

is there even a point of doing this btw?

[lofty flame]

Some extra loot and xp i guess

[clear halo]

same thing for the god of iron

from the iron Golem?

[north prairie]

I believe theres an achievement

[clear halo]

yes

but i was curios if there was like some strange lootpool

[north prairie]

I think the loot is better but nothing crazy iirc

[clear halo]

mhm

ok tbf
i always forget that Bl2 looks pretty good

even for all the undercooked textures it does look prety

i also play at like medium settings

[north prairie]

How did you get past level cap on tiny tinas assault on dragonkeep a wonderlands one-shot adventure

[lofty flame]

Its most likely not... the oneshot

[north prairie]

But it looks just like tiny tinas assault on dragonkeep a wonderlands one shot adventure

[peak ether]

Bait used to be believable

[north prairie]

😭

[north prairie]

Killer fish from san diego…

[dense valve]

eriddiumm

[clear halo]

Is UVHM

I started there

[peak ether]

Pogfish

[clear halo]

Ah right the funny Game about tiny tina’s dlc

[lofty flame]

Fih

[dense valve]

mod that makes launchers shoot random projectiles

sorry for shit video compression

[fickle fossil]

@peak ether

[peak ether]

Barrel 1

[fickle fossil]

Can you fucking believe that?!?!!?!?!??!?!

Man, I was so excited to see the seven. Then, I seen the 3.1. Then, I seen the b1.

[peak ether]

But

It's x8 now

Not x7 like normal Assault Shotguns

That's neat!

[fickle fossil]

I guess.

The accuracy is terrible.

[peak ether]

Don't ask how I know that

[dense valve]

wtf are these weapons

[fickle fossil]

Someone who plays Bl1 for the thrill of the kill would know these things.

[trim hinge]

they sure are weapons

[peak ether]

Sweeper title

That's how

[fickle fossil]

Yup!

Just like shredder for combat shotguns.

[peak ether]

Shredder is x12

Matador and Scattershot are x11

[fickle fossil]

Shredder is x11.

[peak ether]

Did I get them backwards?

[fickle fossil]

Comes from the shredder barrel.

[peak ether]

That I knew

Matador and Sweeper are low accuracy

[tawdry shell]

https://tenor.com/view/go-gadget-pixel-reducer-fan-gif-9633892696658046476

[tender aspen]

Can I has the pixels?

[fickle fossil]

I don't know exactly how one gets scattershot. Pretty sure it's just white rarity.

[dense valve]

💔

[tender aspen]

First gun I noticed was that awful Tediore grip flakker with melee prefix, gross

[dense valve]

ok enough bl2 shitpost

[dense valve]

blame discords shit ass file size limit

[peak ether]

Low rarity + low accuracy

[fickle fossil]

Yea, I'm trying to get GearCalc to spit one out, and it's not working.

I wonder if it's bugged similar to shattering maulers.

[peak ether]

It's not

Try a Tediore with body 1 mag 1 barrel 1

[fickle fossil]

Already tried.

This is what it spits out:

[peak ether]

Weird

I've seen them in game at low lvls

[fickle fossil]

I have too.

I don't know. Maybe that's just it!

[peak ether]

Try mat 0

[fickle fossil]

It needs to be a low level too?

[fickle fossil]

No option for that.

[peak ether]

The fuck is Riot title

[fickle fossil]

You'd probably see it in Enhanced.

[peak ether]

I did not

[fickle fossil]

Or with the unofficial patch.

oh

[peak ether]

Enhanced fixed none of the bugged titles

[fickle fossil]

oh

[peak ether]

Not even the Legendaries

[fickle fossil]

Then, you'd need the unofficial patch, then.

[peak ether]

Only the Draco and Penetrator

[fickle fossil]

I thought it fixed drivers too.

[peak ether]

Nope!

[fickle fossil]

Well, that's something.

[peak ether]

Enhanced really is a remaster of poor quality

[tawdry shell]

smoother fps (i think) and fov slider it’s only saving grave

for console anyways

[fickle fossil]

I keep hearing about a memory leak.

[peak ether]

Yup

[fickle fossil]

Interesting.

[tender aspen]

A memory leak that was never fixed

[peak ether]

面白い indeed

I had zero reason to type that

[fickle fossil]

Omoshiroi?

[peak ether]

Yes

[fickle fossil]

yea

[peak ether]

Fun fact

Did you know Japan didn't get Robolution until Enhanced

[tender aspen]

Why?

[peak ether]

[tender aspen]

Hm

[peak ether]

I think it was a publishing thing

[fickle fossil]

I guess the language barrier would've prevented the majority from just getting the English release.

[peak ether]

Also also

Og Bl1 didn't even get a Jp dub

[fickle fossil]

Well, now…

That's lame.

[peak ether]

You got Japanese subs and that was it

So I hope you like reading or understand English

Bl2 JP release actually has a dub though

As does Tps and 3

[zealous rapids]

I wonder how claptrap sounds in japanese

and zer0 haikus

[peak ether]

However the sign that normally says Welcome in the English release just says I Hate U

[peak ether]

I can't describe it but it's burned into my memory

I really like whoever did Gaige's JP voiceover though

[unborn swallow]

Wonderland*

[north prairie]

Its wonderlands

[unborn swallow]

It's actually Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderland One-Shot Adventure

[tender aspen]

TLDR

[unborn swallow]

🔥

[peak ether]

Bruh I can't escape Joltz even in Japanese

[unborn swallow]

Dude tvhm it One-Shot sucks

[unborn swallow]

You can't escape in Russian

[north prairie]

Im playing destiny 1 like a chud

[unborn swallow]

Joltz is always there

[peak ether]

I just wanted JP Gaige footage

[unborn swallow]

Basically doesn't exist

[peak ether]

Before you ask

No I'm not Japanese

[unborn swallow]

I'm aware

[peak ether]

I was talking about House

[unborn swallow]

Oh okay, apologies

[flint swallow]

Bruh are you on JPN YT

[unborn swallow]

I actually didn't like the one i got

[peak ether]

I have a Jp keyboard on my phone

[unborn swallow]

NicoNico is very particular about the content that people make on there for some reason

[fickle fossil]

What's wrong with it?

[unborn swallow]

There's no good bl content

[flint swallow]

NicoNico, thats a name I haven't heard in a while

[unborn swallow]

The damage just felt annoying because i literally can't seem to garuntee full crits

[peak ether]

I didn't even think to check there

[unborn swallow]

I prefer vk/bilibili/niconico to yt

[peak ether]

Wtf is vk

[unborn swallow]

Russian

[flint swallow]

I think you need an account to browse there without issues

[peak ether]

Oh

[unborn swallow]

You need a VPN

[flint swallow]

that too

[unborn swallow]

Which uhh, most of use are in jp

[fickle fossil]

I don't understand. What barrel was it?

[peak ether]

For Nico Nico?

[fickle fossil]

VK.

[unborn swallow]

Barrel 1

[fickle fossil]

ah

[peak ether]

Makes sense

[unborn swallow]

NicoNico really doesn't like USA veiwers

[peak ether]

I can see why

[unborn swallow]

My laptop without VPN literally gets region blocked

And has for like 5 years

With vpn i can though

[fickle fossil]

I'd tried going to NicoNico a couple times, and it'd just buffer forever, so I just gave up.

[unborn swallow]

That's part of region block

[fickle fossil]

ohhh

The more you know.

Well, I'm going back to farming.

[unborn swallow]

Kekw

[peak ether]

Talks about Japanese dubs and shit

Has a Korean pfp

[unborn swallow]

🔥

[peak ether]

Angela probably understands both

After all she understands Sweeper

[flint swallow]

[peak ether]

I am the only one who gets that joke definitely

Dizzy have you checked out Ruina yet?

[unborn swallow]

No money

[peak ether]

Rip

[flint swallow]

just have someone buy it for you

[unborn swallow]

No

[pastel zealot]

a promise is a promise

its x7

i want that

[shrewd rampart]

It's fun cheesing off goliaths.

[shrewd rampart]

The loot and exp are just slight bonuses to the mayhem goliaths bring when they go ape.

[fickle fossil]

ooo Tediore

[modest forum]

Holy moly I got this from one of the Vending Machines. Should I use this?

[peak ether]

Yeah Eddies very good

Way better than the Support Relay solo

Speaking of Support Relay

You need 3 of them to be better than a purple

[modest forum]

I was only using the Support Relay for the Increase Gun Damage part.

[peak ether]

Yes

But it's worse than a purple with the same ability unless you have 3 people wearing one

Unfortunately most of the legendary Oz kits aren't great

You mainly look for purples

[oblique kelp]

yesterday

[tender aspen]

Delicious perfect Lyuda

[thorny wharf]

okay this is how i feel playing presequ.el

[north prairie]

Best general oz kit in the game

[thorny wharf]

@flat seal

[peak ether]

I think he likes Mordecai

[latent osprey]

The Doc Flayer will be mine

It's progress, but I'm gonna keep grinding

[latent osprey]

Barbed Wire
Not going for melee, so skip

[latent osprey]

I got it

It's worth it, enemies are being gibbed left and right

[peak ether]

Flayer always gibs on kill

[thorny wharf]

yes i do 👀

[peak ether]

Fast Craw kills

Can't complain

[peak ether]

@fickle fossil Og

Enhanced

Ignore the DMC reboot in the corner

[fickle fossil]

I notice now that the artwork is different for GOTY for PS3 and 360.

[peak ether]

I have a few games

[fickle fossil]

Sweet.

[peak ether]

Wonderlands is buried at the very bottom

And both Tales are somewhere

The rest of them

@tawdry shell rate the library

[whole gulch]

Lol

She got stuck so I'm taking advantage

[tawdry shell]

pretty solid

[peak ether]

Man I need to play Signallis

[modest forum]

Found this in a cheast.

[oblique kelp]

that's not nuclear that's incendiary

[modest forum]

Yeah I kind of figured that. Unless it needs to be thrown since it's a Tediore gun.

[wheat harbor]

weird drop

[oblique kelp]

tediore-like look

[tawdry shell]

i love item lights

[bold marsh]

whats this little dot on the map like is there a solid piece of land

[unborn swallow]

Spawn box probably

[wide fog]

most likely spawn box ye

[modest forum]

Thoughts?

[peak ether]

It's a gun

[unborn swallow]

It's alright

[unborn swallow]

Life is good

[peak ether]

I can't fucking see shit

[unborn swallow]

144p

[unborn swallow]

You see everything you need to know life is good

[fickle fossil]

ah yea

[peak ether]

I see you have a barrel 1 sniper

[fickle fossil]

b5, eh?

[peak ether]

Enhanced

[whole gulch]

?

[peak ether]

Enhanced fucking loves giving out really good parts guns

[wide fog]

enhanced is only the worse option on pc lowkey

[peak ether]

No I hate it on console still

Did a full run

[whole gulch]

Lol

[peak ether]

Bleh

[wide fog]

i entirely disagree, enhanced is just the better version to play on if it didn’t have the memory leak

console doesn’t have that ergo it’s just the better version to play

atleast in my opinion

[peak ether]

The new inventory feels so much worse

[unborn swallow]

[peak ether]

That alone kills it

[whole gulch]

Is that why I can't go to generally hospital without getting a corrupted data message?

[peak ether]

And I dislike the seemingly random drop changes

Like why do mini bosses and Badasses love dropping near perfect purples now

[whole gulch]

Lol, I haven't seen that yet

[peak ether]

Oh but we part locked the actual uniques so they're even worse now

Elemental Avengers no longer exist

[wide fog]

i never learnt or cared about bl1 parts, ignorance is clearly bliss

[whole gulch]

Bruh that's bull

[peak ether]

Dove can't have accessories anymore

[unborn swallow]

Rip hybrid

[fickle fossil]

Wait! No more double Dove?

[whole gulch]

I'm gonna have to pull my PS3 out of storage just to play og borderlands one

[fickle fossil]

I didn't know it was that bad.

[peak ether]

Bessie had it's accessory locked now so if you had one w/o an accessory or it had a different accessory on og and you transferred the save to Enhanced it's gone

[whole gulch]

Same

So game of the year edition is screwed?

[wide fog]

yea but a minimap is cool

[peak ether]

The new Legendaries added nothing

[wide fog]

let’s be real

okay but it was a remaster the legendaries are extra that shouldn’t really be a talking point

[unborn swallow]

No

[peak ether]

I have a lot of criticisms towards Enhanced beyond the memory leak

[wide fog]

i solely think the remake is better purely because of FOV slider lol

[unborn swallow]

I mean people critique FFS weapons, i can critique Enhanced weapons

[peak ether]

I straight up turned it off

[fickle fossil]

Same.

[wide fog]

entirely different thing btw

[rain rain]

is this correct? or should i switch guns around

[wide fog]

a dlc is expected to have new loot
a remaster isn’t

why they even made new guns? no idea

[unborn swallow]

Deputy left, regular right

[unborn swallow]

If only they remaster didn't unmaster the piece

[wide fog]

no bl game is a masterpiece

[tender aspen]

not even bl2 like the glazers say

[rain rain]

no rubi untill i defeat warrior

[unborn swallow]

I do genuinely think Borderlands 3 is a masterpiece for what it is

[wide fog]

7/10 and it’s the best bl game

[unborn swallow]

I can not name a game i think is better except Dauntless

[wide fog]

stockholm syndrome

[unborn swallow]

Dauntless absolutely is

[unborn swallow]

I genuinely don't know what i'd call better

[peak ether]

Terraria

[unborn swallow]

I do not like Vanilla Terraria

[wide fog]

you need to broaden your game portfolio

[unborn swallow]

Vanilla Terraria has genuinely been reduced in quality to me ever since the 1.0.5 release

[wide fog]

comically bad take lowkey

[peak ether]

What

[unborn swallow]

:3

[peak ether]

I've played a shit ton of games

[unborn swallow]

I originally played 1.2.4 then 1.3 to 1.4.4 but then i went back and played 1.0.3/1.0.4/1.0.5/1.1 and i think terraria's best version is 1.0.4 with argument of 1.0.5

[peak ether]

And tbh I wouldn't put any Bl in the running for games I consider masterpiece

[unborn swallow]

I genuinely can not name a game that has as much player expression as borderlands 3

[peak ether]

Devil May Cry

Ultrakill

[unborn swallow]

It's definitely very cool but i wouldn't agree

[unborn swallow]

Unfortunately ultrakill has more skill expression than player expression

also it was mid

[peak ether]

Welp I tried

[unborn swallow]

I am

Hot takes extremist

[peak ether]

No Knight I don't think Halo would suffice as an answer

[tawdry shell]

deleting my paragraph

[unborn swallow]

Halo 3 is probably a masterpiece

[peak ether]

[tawdry shell]

whole trilogy is really

[peak ether]

I fucking called it

[unborn swallow]

Like

My favourite halo's are

Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST, Halo CE, Halo Reach, Halo 2, Halo 4, we don't talk about the others

[tawdry shell]

another H4 fan

[peak ether]

I'mma be real

[tawdry shell]

5 i only played the campaign, cant say much for its MP

infinite was solid, don’t play it anymore tho

[unborn swallow]

Halo 4 story being good is why i liked it, the mp was okay

[peak ether]

I honestly don't give 2 shits about if a game can be called a "masterpiece"

[tawdry shell]

the MP just feels like a faster reach to me

tho i’ve only played it on MCC

[unborn swallow]

I don't like Reach's story but i loved everything about it

[peak ether]

I played a bit of it on 360 before the servers died

It was enjoyable enough

[tawdry shell]

i thought it was a great way to end off the original series

[peak ether]

To me vids like that are just people spouting words to look smart and talk about a game they like but rarely do they ever have something of actual substance

[unborn swallow]

God Jakobs Snipers feel awful

[tawdry shell]

just aim better

[wide fog]

masterpiece is subjective anyway who cares
i think outer wilds is the best game ever made, but i know damn well it will not be everyone’s cup of tea

there is no video game that’s one size fits all

[unborn swallow]

I think Nier Automata is probably a masterpiece but i've literally never played it beyond the first like 10 minutes

[peak ether]

I just play a fuck ton of Borderlands because fun abilities and numbers make my monkey brain smile

[wide fog]

this makes absolutely no sense lol

[unborn swallow]

You're welcome

[wide fog]

“probably” a masterpiece
hasn’t even played it

[peak ether]

LoR could be if it wasn't horrifically poorly balanced

[unborn swallow]

I have my top 5 games on my discord profile

[wide fog]

i’m on mobile

right now

[unborn swallow]

Should be
Dauntless → BL3 → Bad North → Scourgebringer → Nuclear Throne

[peak ether]

Like who TF decided "Yeah Iori should have a free +2 power to an offense dice of your choice at any time" was okay

And then later added a passive in the same chapter that gives Pierce dice another +2

And then fill said chapter with a ton of really good cards that only have pierce offense dice

Project Moon what are you doing

"LoR is a ball bustingly hard game"
You just have to roll higher than the enemy

Which is isn't that hard actually

[unborn swallow]

RIGHT I CAN'T DOUBLE TAP ACTION SKILL BECAUSE LILITH HAS THE WORST ACTION SKILL EVER

[peak ether]

Skill Issue

[fickle fossil]

You take that back! Borderlands is a masterpiece!!!!!!!!

[unborn swallow]

I have my controller setup to double tap LB

[peak ether]

Why

[unborn swallow]

Consistency

[peak ether]

Pt2 is basically a joke

[fickle fossil]

How can someone not like Lilith's action skill?

[peak ether]

There's nothing to use the gear you get from farming Craw on

The character skill trees are largely just stat buffs

Most weapons in a type function the exact same as other weapons in that type

Just because a game is my favorite does not stop me from tearing into it

[fickle fossil]

Are you kidding me? The pallete swaps are half the reason Borderlands is a masterpiece!

[peak ether]

The Salt Flats feel incredibly rushed almost as if there was supposed to be more to the game

[unborn swallow]

I critique bl3 a olt

[peak ether]

Good

[unborn swallow]

To be fair though

My biggest critique of the game is that the other 3 characters aren't Amara

[peak ether]

what the hell possessed me to go on this tirade

[flint swallow]

🤔

[peak ether]

^
Context Anon

Anyways I need to go to bed

[unborn swallow]

What if i make a 4 hour video of me ranting about everything i want to rant about borderlands 3

[peak ether]

You could probably pull it off depending on what you talk about

[flint swallow]

gn then

[whole gulch]

This any good? Got it farming chests in the knoxx dlc

[fickle fossil]

Barrel 1.

That'll kill its damage output.

[whole gulch]

Dang, beyond that it's good?

[fickle fossil]

If you're a good shot and don't have an Orion, it's a decent gun to have for Eridian guardians and that.

[whole gulch]

Awesome

[fickle fossil]

It is a revolver, so it'll proc every time. And so, shields won't stand up to it well.

[whole gulch]

I have another revolver I got from farming knoxx dlc chests

I'll put it here in a sec, got to go get a pic

[fickle fossil]

Oh hey!

That's super rare on OG.

[whole gulch]

Lol

[fickle fossil]

It's not very good, realistically. Especially when there are weapons like Ogres, Blast Hammers, and Cruxes out there, you'll find it sorely lacking.

[whole gulch]

True, but it'll be good for before I get those

[fickle fossil]

You're playing Mordecai, right?

[whole gulch]

Yep

[fickle fossil]

All the power to you.

lol

[whole gulch]

Yeah, I got bored of 2 and 3 so decided to play 1

[fickle fossil]

There's no going back, you realize?

[whole gulch]

Lol yep

[fickle fossil]

lol

[whole gulch]

I wish they did another zombie dlc in one of the other borderlands games, they did the zombies so well in this one

[fickle fossil]

There is a second zombie DLC for Bl1 if you want more zombies. You'd need it for PC though because it's a mod.

[whole gulch]

Omg how did I forget sledges shotgun launches dead body's, just killed skagzilla and he went flying, and dang wish I had a PC now lol

Welp I'ma hope off here, hope you have a good night or day or whatever time it is for you

[fickle fossil]

Night.

[peak ether]

Explosive kinda sucks tho

The listed weapons are all good because they don't get penalized for being explosive but a 40% base dmg hit in exchange for occasionally better dmg and no DoT is not worth it

[leaden stag]

Went in underleveled cause I forgor it scales higher on wave 5
