r/Borderlands2

Im finally planning on doing the op levels,

Gonna start with Axton, any advice on what sort of build works best?

I'm really trying to get Krieg to UVHM asap but it's been sort of slow going.. not as bad as Zero but definitely way slower progression than Sal or Maya. I'm running mania tree with a grog, a herald, a shock ladyfist and a corrosive teapot currently. Level 38, my next MSQ is the Hyperion preserve. I'm in the process of farming a rough rider shield from the hammerlock dlc seeing as I have like 4 levels to go before I'm on-level for bloodwing. I know that will fall off eventually but I figured it would help for a while. Any skills or gear I should go for in particular? Maybe a good rocket launcher or something? Would an orphan maker be good? Also I wanted to ask about light the fuse, I fucking hate it. Makes it 10x harder to get second winds in tvhm. Does it eventually become worth it? Also would I have better luck speccing into bloodlust or hellborn till uvhm? I do enjoy the mania play style quite a bit, although I die a lot from hitting myself in the face while rampaging in RTB. Any tips for that? I feel like silence the voices is too big a buff to pass up.

Will I lose my character if I uninstall my game. I am running out of storage in my laptop and I want to install some new games but I don't want to lose my max level bl2,bl3 and tps caracters . If yes then is there any way to keep them.

Idk what the proper flair is for this

I play a fire krieg....i have to mute my audio because enemy dialouge is mixed with a bunch of other combat noises

its either play muted or have my ears bleed

any mods that disable enemy screams? or mute them entirely?

or even a mod that breaks everything up into separate volume sliders?

Yo, first time playing BL2 in a while and I'm absolutely hooked. Just finished Wildlife Exploitation Preserve (man, screw Handsome Jack for what he did to Bloodwing, shit got personal). I'm playing Zer0 and I've been paying a lot of attention to how different guns feel and the lore behind them. Just wanted to dump some of my thoughts here:

First off, Bandit weapons are peak makeshift. They literally look like someone welded scrap metal and car parts together in a garage. Total Mad Max vibes, I love the look even if they feel super clunky. On the other end, Maliwan and Hyperion feel like the actual premium brands. Especially compared to Tediore, which gives me pure Walmart or IKEA vibes (I keep hearing that "Hello Mrs. Tediore" stuff from NPCs in Sanctuary, corporate brainwash is real lmao). Maliwan feels like sleek luxury tech and Hyperion is just straight-up high-end military gear.

Also, Jakobs absolutely cooked with their mechanic. Clicking like crazy and hitting crits with Zer0 is so satisfying, it actually requires some rhythm and skill instead of just holding down the trigger.But I do have one worry—since Jakobs doesn't really do elements or Slag, does it fall off hard in the late game? I feel like once enemies get massive health bars on higher difficulties, brands like Maliwan, Vladof or Hyperion are just gonna dominate because you'll need to match elements. Am I right or are there late-game Jakobs setups that actually viable?

Anyone up for some Borderlands 2 on PS3? Looking for someone to play co-op with.

Just out of curiosity, do you guys do all the side missions for all 3 play throughs up to UVHM?

I'm probably the only person who played BL2 and was bothered by this but the shotgun/shield you get for completing the "Out of Body Experience" quest from Loader 1340 is a little disappointing. Considering what you're doing I expected the reward to be at least a little unique, but they don't even look different, just a reskinned blue rarity Hyperion shotgun or absorb shield with a voice. So here are my ideas for reworking this one quest reward that no-one else probably cares about:

Shotgun 1340:

Appearance-wise it's a projectile diversification shotgun but instead the paint job resembled an EXP-loader instead. Has half the magazine size of a regular shotgun but the last shot you fire shoots a grenade. Not a Tediore gun grenade, just an actual grenade that is affected by grenade mods. It's meant to copy how Gun-loaders sometimes throw grenades at you. Either this or the last shot is a piercing shock shot that loaders sometimes use when fighting you.

Shield 1340:

Again, it's a regular blue absorb shield with a EXP-loader paint job. Has the regular stats of a blue absorb shield, but upon depletion, you gain double movement speed for 2 seconds and after that an explosive nova happens around you. This is to copy the EXP-loaders themselves. Even makes the same sound effect.

I made these without really considering balance, more trying to copy what a loader does but as a gun instead. I figure they'd be cool but nothing really broken. At most shotgun 1340 on Gaige would be good because she'd basically endless spam grenades with a one shot gun but I can't think of anything else.

Balance, quests, gear. I want to hear your opinions
