Deathtrap looks seriously awesome, having him out longer with every kill is going to make him a killing machine (excuse the pun). Not to mention that his kills count for second wind revivals.

Wow sounds like such an easy class to play.

Few Pics of the Pirates Booty DLC.
New Custom heads

New rarity weapon and currency?

Can't wait for this.

**LfCpS3** · 10-11-2012

Halloween release?

**emmerich** · 10-11-2012

Am I the only one who feels this DLC is coming way too soon? The game only just came out for christs sake. I haven't even beat the game yet and I'm looking at DLC in like 5 days? I might just sell BL2.

So wait till you finish the game before you get the DLC. Selling a game because they are releasing a lot of extra content is ridiculous lol.

I like the sound of that. I just need to start playing it more, because I barely scratched the surface of what I can do in it.

Typically i would agree with you.

But borderlands 2 is just SO content packed its ridiculous i am actually getting fed up because of the amount of side quests ( im sure there are a lot left that i have not done), plus they all are actually somewhat fun and varied.

I wont get it when its released, but will later on.

**emmerich** · 10-11-2012

Yeah I get what you mean, I guess I'll just wait for a GOTY edition before doing any of the DLC.

**Nick_Scryer** · 10-11-2012

Officially confirmed now:

Definitely buying it. Borderlands 1 DLC was all great, except the Dome

**emmerich** · 10-13-2012

I beat my first play through last night. I immediately activated TVHM for that character.

Is it possible to start another game with a new character or will I lose my current character? How does that work

On the main menu, press Triangle and from there you can load a previous character or create a new one. The one you load/create becomes the character you're playing as. If you choose a previous character that has beat the game you can choose which mode you want to play as (Normal or True Vault Hunter).

You can always load a different character from the main menu when you want to.

So i finally got the bee shield.

Its level 33, so no were near the best, but still good enough do to some serious damage. The actual shield capacity is terrible, 1500, so i gotta keep my distance.

Is it possible for me to find another bee shield at the same level but better capacity or damage?

To be honest, the bee shield is only good for Terramorphous and other boss raids because of the amp damage. It's terrible in a fire fight with more then one enemy, you're better off getting a high capacity shield until you reach lvl50. Then pick up the bee shield and beat that Tresher's ass!

i agree, bee shield only useful for raid fights

**LfCpS3** · 10-14-2012

Yea i figured that out, the hard way...

I, thankfully, did not sell my other shield when I got the bee shield so its not too bad :P

I understand that the massive damage at level 50 would be crazy, but is the shield capacity still bad compared to other level 50 shields?

If so i don't see how it can be considered overpowered.

**DeRaddyoMoFo** · 10-14-2012

With my siren setup and a shield capacity+ 30% relic + The Bee, i get a little over 41k which is not bad at all! But obviously i am giving up that relic spot for shield, so its not perfect.
Against Terra, i now use Fabled Tortoise. its pretty comical, running in slow motion, especially when he comes for me.. i crack up every time. (Fabled tortoise is a shield that gives 170k ish capacity but lowers movement speed..alot)

In reply to a poster above, the exact stats of Bee do differ but not by much, on top of that you can get Bee shields that also nulify fire, shock etc which is a nice bonus.
The Bee is great for quick solo farming but not really needed co-op. that said most people use it, kinda takes away from the thrill factor when you can down a super badass in 1 second, but i guess you do have that thrill of 'if i get hit more that once.. im doomed!!'

**DreDayDetox** · 10-14-2012

Hey guys, using Assassin Zero as my character...uh, I'm in a bit pickle here and I think I anal-raped myself over. You know that mission with the train to get the vault key? Yeah, well I beat it and all, I removed the power core and put in a new one, but I noticed after I turned in the mission, a lot of side mission exclamation points turned up on my map....I did the stupid thing of switching power cores, further continuing the main story...and all of those side missions dissapeared because Jack was attacking Sanctuary, and I've been double-crossed by that bitch who shows up on my visor...is there any way to get those side missions back? I really wanna do everything, or almost everything in one play through with my character, get him to level 50 before doing the last mission of the game...even in Borderlands 1, I only got to level 40 before I finished the game, but I don't want to make the same mistake again.

**emmerich** · 10-14-2012

Yeah you're able to do them when you beat the game. Don't worry man. I panicked over that too..

In fact, I'm sure you'll be able to do them pretty soon, they are only unavailable for a couple of story missions if I remember right.

**DreDayDetox** · 10-14-2012

Wait, you can continue side quests after you finish the game?! I don't remember that in Borderlands 1! AWESOME!!

**DeRaddyoMoFo** · 10-15-2012

yea^ and ontop of that once you kill the end boss on playthrough 2, the enemies scale to 50-53. which makes the side quest more fun!

What i feel is best to do is on playthrough 2 ignore all side quests. By which i mean do not accept the missions. Get the story done and then pick up all the side quests to run multiplayer. The enemies will be badass, and the drops lvl50. Not to mention the mission rewards will scale to level 50 versions. But that's just me.

Edit, just had a thought regarding people farming The Bee, who still have the quest active.
If you throw a singularity nade up there it draws his aggro and he jumps down. allowing you to kill him without going up there and actually activating the 'silence the hellquist' section of the mission. Now i noticed i did this with someone who had the quest active and he seemed to instantly respawn back up in the room. So i would assume you could just keep singularity nading him down, killing and etc. Aslong as you dont go up by the lift and open the door i think this will work. I will try test it later to be sure.
Sjould speed up farming him ALOT, what with no need to reload after each kill.
