Borderlands 2

[Hei]

Any news on the Cyclops or Pestilence?

 

[TJ13]

Just in According to Examiner the DLC has been officially released.

From a later post it has not been released but has been pushed back due to a "technical" error.

If it wasn't for the error we would all be enjoying the new dlc.

Any news on the Cyclops or Pestilence?

That reminds me. What are they going to do with the Maliwan Plague and S&S Munitions Crux? I suppose the Crux could be a large capacity Torgue, or a Bandit/Jakobs shotgun that shoots explosives. I'd also like to see the return of Boom Stick, and how they would implement it into the game.
Gah there is so many...
S&S Orion - Jakobs Sniper altered to shoot shock rounds.
Dahl Bulldog - Excessively high capacity Bandit shotgun.
Dahl Jackal - Torgue Shotgun that shoots multiple grenades and explode into MORE grenades.
Torgue Gasher - Maliwan SMG altered to shoot explosive gyrojets in a Torgue fashion.
Atlas Orge - Torgue Assault Rifle that shoots faster accelerating gyrojets and have a much bigger blast radius in comparison to normal Torgue assault rifles.
Atlas Chimera - Maliwan Pistol that has a random element with every shot.
Maliwan Madjack - A Maliwan pistol altered to shoot very fast, and to shoot explosive rounds.

I just want my Pestilent Defiler back. That and a Maggie because I miss my Mashers...

 

[TJ13]

I just want my Pestilent Defiler back.

Isn't that the one that shoots the multiple elements?

 

[sesselpupser]

Isn't that the one that shoots the multiple elements?

No, that's the Chimera I think. The Pestilent Defiler is the revolver with extreme corrosive damage and a crazy propagation rate, so it was possible to dissolve a group of enemies with a couple of shots. I think.

Well then this is about as close as you will get to it

I don't care it doesn't work with images and the spoiler tag.

I had seen that but hadn't noticed the stats, that's quite nice! I wonder what the red text means?

 

[TJ13]

Don't know but I guess we will find out, but I guess it gives me a chance to maybe do some crystal farming now I guess.

 

[Hei]

That looks boss, but still not my Pestilence. Chimaera would be boss. Going to load up BL1 to look up my favorite weapons and kill crawmerax a few times.

While it's not it's a good replacement though. Also there is a nice shotgun that could be a cc replacement too.

I'd really like an arena where you can set up your own survival challenge. Pick where you fight, and the arena is "digi-structed" for you. Pick the number of waves you fight in, how many enemies you face in one wave, and how many appear in one instance. What kind of enemies you face, if enemies attack each other or not. The harder the challenge, the bigger the reward. Choose weather or not they spawn the instant someone is killed, replacing them, or to wait until all of the originals are killed for the new ones to spawn.

It would be really cool, to be able to face multiple invincibles at once in Arid Nexus Boneyard. You could make a boss rush that goes through ALL of the bosses (both main and side) in the entire game.

Basically like the Underdome in BL1 just a bit of customization in there?

Edit: Gearbox just announced that Sir Hammerlock is the next DLC and expect a release on Christmas according to the fourmers.

 

[Hei]

Gearbox christmas present huh? Christmas themed skins?

And with the choice of a commentator. I'd really like to hear Mr. Torgue commentate my killing spree.

Lol, if we live past 12/21 we will see it xD

 

[TJ13]

There will be more information and a release date tomorrow on the gearbox forum. So either expect a special release time or Christmas release date or to make things more haha, Released on 12/21 at like 11:59 pm.

Finally got round to playing a bit more, continued the Torgue DLC with my Assassin who has no corrosive weapons whatsoever... The bit where you have five minutes to shoot down two normal and one Badass Buzzard is kind of annoying, looks like I'll have to find a good lv 50 corrosive on one of my other characters and swap it over.

 

[Hei]

That was easy with the corrosive infinity. It was the barfight I had trouble alone.

I completely destroy everyone in there (for obvious reasons).

Its better to kill enemies when you don't see/hear a Badass in the bar. Focus entirely on them when they spawn.

With me, I just run around killing everyone while searching for the next badass.

You could always farm Smash-Head or Laney for a Corrosive Sledge's Shotgun/Gub. While Sledge's Shotgun may not be guaranteed corrosive, the Gub will. Plus the Gub is VERY powerful in contrast to most Bandit Pistols. I am not sure if the Gunerang can be elemental or not, but I will guess that it can have elements. Although, I have a corrosive Baby Maker and Conference Call. I got both with a bunch of legendarys my friend duped for me. I am willing to trade it for something with a high rate of fire. Anything legendary and that I don't already have (except Sledge's Shotgun) that has a higher RoF. The only legendary I won't take is the Flakker. The Evil Smasher pretty much makes it useless. I also have an Impaler, which actually, I found myself, which you could use when you get attacked.

I'm pretty sure my Gunerang isn't elemental, I might be wrong though. I forgot I have an Impaler, good call... My Assassin build is pretty much completely melee and I only ever use the Law and Order, making him pretty much useless against most flying enemies (but the rest of the DLC has been pretty easy). I don't think I have any other corrosive legendaries but I have some pretty decent purple corrosive sniper rifles and tight spread shotguns which would probably do the trick.

And yeah, the Flakker is useless.

 

[Hei]

I have the conference call in each element, but it's not the same with a Nerfed Bee ;_;.

 

[TJ13]

Well don't expect the DLC to be out anytime soon,

Expect the DLC on January 15th. Proof Here

To add on this, Level cap Increase planned in Q1 of 2013 with other surprises.

 

[sesselpupser]

 

[TJ13]

I thought it would of been out already but I guess a whole month have to wait.

Here is food for thought. Would you pay to have more levels or should it be included in DLC4?

 

[Hei]

As long as it's included in the season pass, I don't care.

 

[sesselpupser]

Something like that should be free, in my opinion, because otherwise people who don't want to pay for it will be left behind. Then again it wasn't free in the first game and that wasn't really a problem, so I don't know. It depends on how far the cap was extended, 5-10 levels I wouldn't pay for separately but if it extended it to 75 or 100 I probably would buy that.


Edit: Oh absolute arse. From the Kotaku link TJ posted earlier:

Then there's Dexivous who will be the cause of one very long, sleepless night fighting through wave after wave of enemies. This "rare" creature will only be summoned after you supply various totems across Aegrus with a hefty ton of precious Eridium. Kill this Drifter and you can pick up Hammerlock-themed (aka hunting-themed) weapons.

I HATED the Drifters in the first game, I had hoped they wouldn't be coming back, especially not as a raid boss.

 

[TJ13]

By the end of Big Game Hunt, you'll have opened many, many loot chests. More than your feeble little backpack can handle.

From what I have read I think if I am going to do that chest thingy I would dump everything into safe or swap area before I run it.

I really think you should be able to upgrade your backpack till you can hold 100 weapons and your safe should hold double. I really like having a massive selection of guns at my disposal.

They are back?! UGH I HATE THEM SO MUCH! They just...ugh I hate them sooooo much. I always hated how they could shoot you with those acid globs with an absurd aimbot.

If they raised the level cap to anywhere above 70, then that would be awesome.

[Hei]

300 storage is way too much. I want it to be like BL1. 49 on self including equipped items, and 51 in the storage.
