What are the stats for your orange weapons?! Yet to find one of my own!

 

[TheSaudiMizer]

General consensus is that the slots are possibly worth the money, but definitely not worth the time.

I mean it's definitely worth the money considering I just reset when I don't get anything, but the jackpot feels impossible at this point

 

[The Real Gamer]

I'd rather farm bosses for legendaries than play slots constantly.

What are the stats for your orange weapons?! Yet to find one of my own!

Social ***** (SMG)

Level Requirement: 26

Damage: 317
Accuracy: 96.8
Fire Rate: 8.7
Reload Speed: 1.9
Magazine Size: 41

yup. back
26% Weapon Accuracy
125% Weapon Recoil Reduction
75% Critical Hit Damage
Firing increases accuracy

Basically, it's pinpoint accurate and does over 1000 damage per bullet hitting crits (which is so easy with this gun), with my Axton.

 

[Atlus8]

For a level 26, that is ridiculous! Was the weapon in a case or was it an enemy drop?!

 

[Pluvia]

Bunker dropped it.

 

[TheSaudiMizer]

I'm not at the point where any bosses would drop an orange weapon though, and I wanted one to see how crazy it would be. If theyre that good though I won't worry about it, nothing would even be challenging at that point

 

[Wave⁂]

First legendary, dropped from a big varkid.

When reloaded, the gun bounces around randomly, dropping grenades everywhere, it's awesome.

 

[Pluvia]

So I got another Orange. It's a shield with around about 800/900 capacity, and what would be considered really good recharge rate and recharge delay (as in, nothing that's really "wow", chances are the shield you have right now is just slightly worse, if not slightly better).

Thing that makes it Orange is the 82% chance to absorb bullets and turn it into ammo.

 

[O D I N]

I got the BEE today.

HOLY **** is this thing broken.

I'll post pictures tonight.

 

[Wave⁂]

Yeah, Bee really should be nerfed. Way too good compared to other shields.

 

[LivewiresXe]

This thread makes me sad and feel left out for not having it yet. Must make sure stuff selling goes through so I make dat $350.

 

[O D I N]

Yeah, Bee really should be nerfed. Way too good compared to other shields.

Well, here's the thing;

It's STRONG.

But you take one measly hit, and your uber power is gone.

So it's kinda sorta balanced.

But holy recharge rate, Batman.

I'm gonna be using this thing until I find another at level 50.

 

[Pluvia]

It's probably gonna be nerfed.

 

[Atlus8]

WOW! That thing looks way too strong!

 

[The Real Gamer]

There's no reason to nerf it in my opinion.

You're not forced to use it and it doesn't directly affect anyone else so its kind of unfair to the people who do enjoy using it. And like Odin said its only god like as long as you keep your shields up.

But still this game is supposed to be for fun... Feeling overpowered is fun to a lot of people.

 

[Pluvia]

Too dominating, takes away the point in the other Orange shields, chances are they'll make it drain your shields a tiny bit.

Feeling overpowered is very good for Borderlands, but there's a limit. Imagine if there was a sniper rifle with moderate stats and low fire rate, except it killed everything in one shot. It is decisively better than every other sniper rifle in the game, which means every other sniper rifle in the game is comparatively trash. The game would be better without it. Admittedly, it's not as big a deal as if this gun was in Counter-Strike or Quake, but it still makes the game worse.

Spent a good part of the day playing BL1.



Sledge boss was cake after gaining 3 more levels.
100% Fyrestone

Now level/quest grinding in New Haven.

 

[Master Xanthan]

I finished the story yesterday, it was awesome! But I won't say any spoilers. Anyway, I"m having trouble with soloing Hyperion Slaughter: Round 4, those RPG loaders nearly kill me in one hit.

 

[The Real Gamer]

What level is your character? I'm right where you are maybe we can co-op it?

 

[John2k4]

I'm going to try to beat BL1 tonight so that I can finally start on BL2. =P

 

[Atlus8]

I'm at level 44! I'm on Steam right now if anyone wants to co-op! Atlus8

 

[The Real Gamer]

Sorry Atlus that comment was directed towards Xanthan.

And I'm on 360. :\

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

Yeah, sugarpoultry and I saw zero orange weapons in the entire playthrough.

We just started the second playthrough. We're making it a rule now that we cannot do a story mission if there are any side missions available. :]

 

[Wave⁂]

I did that during my first playthrough, unless it was really convenient not to do so (if I just happened to be in the right zone). I hear the optimal way to do PT2 is to leave all sidequests until the end because they scale with your level, but not only have I heard that you can end up underleveled or undergeared that way, it also sounds unfun.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Sorry I already finished it with someone recently. I won't be able to play for a week or so since I have some school work I need to work on this week.

 

[Atlus8]

Got my first ORANGE!

http://i.minus.com/iBnNFZjTrCrkD.jpg

Edit: Just got a second ORANGE!

It's the same one as above except it has a faster loading speed and slightly better accuracy! However, the damage multiplier is 7 instead of 9!

 

[Wave⁂]

Yeesh, only two shots per magazine?

On the other hand, you probably don't need more than two shots to kill everything.

Yes, the accuracy is what also makes this shotgun special! Found both of them when I'm just grinding on Old Slappy! Seriously, you get 10K exp in less than five minutes for every run! Great weapon drops as well!

 

[Pluvia]

Bunker is also incredibly easy to farm seeing as though he can be killed in a single bullet from Zero if you hit the right spot.

 

[John2k4]

6 more hours today, and I think I finally finished the first one.

Is the main "story" complete once you return the

Vault Key to Tannis?

 

[Turazrok]

Yeah,

onto the dlcs

I would recommend against this.

When you hit 2.5 (basically, when you finish the second playthrough, and hit level 50, everything scales to level 50), all quest items will scale to level 50. Thus, any quests you have not discovered will scale to that level.

SO DON'T ACCEPT OR LOOK AT ANY QUESTS UNTIL YOU ARE LEVEL 50.

Unless they are story related.

If you look at a quest beforehand, it is set to THAT level range that you looked at it.

This way, you can get special items (that aren't legendary weapons) that will be level 50.

Like the

ODIN is right.
