When should I turn on mayhem mode?

I’ve just finished the campaign in my first game playthrough and currently going through the dlc. Should I turn it on right now or wait till I’m high level. Cause right now I’m lvl 46.

Promethea paradox - 46 of 47 locations but looking at every zone gives all locations found and they only total 46?

I did the math. There's only 46 locations according to the zones in the map and I've been to all of them as you'll see from all the photos. So what am I missing here because it's the only thing I need to get a 100% all locations visited achievement.

so i have some questions about Mayham 11, i heard skills like short fuze and traits like in Mine Sweeper Short Fuse scale with Mayham mode but I'm not fealing the effects, i just se a bunch of explosios that do no damage. cant kill much without the railgun on iron cub and is just wondering what am doing wrong. as an example i can stand in front of a normal enemy with my Vengeful the Monarch and dump mags in the head with the bypod and its on my level, and i need multiple mags to kill one dude.

Give me ALL the drones!

You may remember a glitch from a while back that let you get your entire ammo reserve as the mag size for 1 mag weapons like the nukem and masterwork crossbow. This is done by using a low level artifact that provides a negative boost to you mag size (for example -3% magazine size). Today I realized there a lot more weapons that have a 1 mag alternate fire. So I tested it, and it also works with these! Here are the ones that I’ve found

  • OPQ system
  • Vosks deathgrip (singularities)
  • Septimator prime (and other vladof underbarrel launchers)
  • Leech (and other vladof underbarrel tasers)
  • Most atlas tracking darts/grenades
  • Web slinger

While I haven’t messed around with these a lot, here are some that stick out to me for build potential:

The OPQ system would probably be insane on fade away fl4k. From my limited time using it on zane, it seems like damage increases are applied when you shoot the drone, not when the drones shoot their bullets.

The leech would be good for a kensei/shooting star build, as you can spam these tasers and they do continuous damage meaning (probably) a ton of shooting stars.

The atlas replay had potential but BE WARNED. You can spam the tracker darts, and you will actually keep getting increased fire rate even if you hit the same target multiple times. However, after just a couple shots your game will lag a lot. I crashed my game after shooting 10 tracker rounds in sanctuary.

The Vosks deathgrip is a ton of fun. You can just spam singularities ad I even carried an enemy from one side of the map to another by shooting a continuous line of singularities.

Just finished the platinum on PS5

Now I will say, I'm not new to this game, I did a run of it when it first came out, and just did not like it, primarily due to the cringe twins, but also some of the recurring jokes just... weren't funny even the first time you heard them. Like the whole "turd farming" thing, did they seriously think it'd make us laugh?

------------

I started a new character and I decided to go with Moze, while in my OG playthrough I played Amara.

I definitely enjoyed playing Moze more, and it's not even close.

I also decided to skip the campaign and go straight to the DLCs first, they were SO much more fun than the main campaign, which I did afterwards.

----------

I did my best to 100% each area as I went along, and I did pretty well, by the end I only had 3 Locations left to find, one on Pandora, one on Prometheus, and one on Eden 6.

The multiplayer trophies were made much easier by the fact you could just use a second controller for split screen multiplayer.

------------

One thing I definitely didn't see in my original playthrough was the mission for Claptrap where he danced with the woman in the wheelchair, that was adorable as hell, really lifted my mood.

-------------

I don't remember if Legendaries dropped that often in my OG playthrough, but man they were constant in this playthrough.

What makes it kinda funny is that most of the Legendary weapons were kinda pointless in the face of the Miss Moxxi weapons, because seriously they are SO overpowered it's ridiculous.

I think the Crit is actually like 20X more powerful than a regular Purple Maliwan SMG.

-------------

I will say though, outside the Crit, I hate the Maliwan weapons in this game, seriously what absolute fuckwit thought it was a good idea to add a charging mechanic onto the Maliwan weapons, they were my favourite brand in Borderlands 2 and Pre-Sequel, and my most hated in this game.

If I'm using a sniper I don't have time for it to charge because the enemy I'm pointing at will MOVE.

-------------

Ultimately it was actually a pretty easy platinum.

Hypothetical question for people who dislike Tannis' character direction in 3:

Hypothetically if you could pick ANYONE to replace her in inheriting Angel's Phaseshift, who would you pick?

I’m curious about everyone's thoughts, I also am kinda writing borderlands stuff and I need some ideas. I'm also...really not a fan of Tannis being a Siren, but I'll save a rant.

This gun is BONKERS

So this little beauty dropped from Commander Traunt on Athenas, I'm now lvl 24 so this gun is 7 lvls below me but god it's still shredding.

Really want to get another copy cause it's just awesome, but if I go back there will it just be a lower lvl drop again? How does current lvl farming work exactly? TIA!!!

Swapped to Chill & Kill Zane build and wow, just amazing. Deleted The Invincible duo, but can't last against the Psychoreaver

Guess I need some ammo regen annointments for him but ran through the invincible which was sick. I ended up just swapping mayhem off to take out the reaver. But if you are a max Zane do yourself a favor and switch to chill and kill

For some reason I can’t progress in Directors Cut DLC

I have a lvl72 FL4K on TVH mode, all main story missions completed. I’ve already started Directors Cut and finished Mysteriouslier:Murder on Eschaton Row, and You. Will. Die (Over and Over)
I have the quest for Mysteriouslier: The Vanishing of Hizzen Mays, but when I go to Enoch’s Grove it shows travel unavailable. I even tried starting the DLC on normal mode too. I accepted the mission in Sanctuary but I can’t get into Eschaton Row on Promethea. It shows travel unavailable. What gives? I can’t find any other info on what I’m missing.

I miss Scooter.

I'm rolling through all Borderlands (including Tiny Tina's) and I've realized, playing #3, that Scooter really is one of my favorite parts of the game. I can't Catch-a-Ride without saying, loudly, "get me one!" I have a soft, sweet spot for Ellie, but Scooter's got my heart. Is there something wrong with me?

Does anyone know a cryo melee build?

Looking for a good cryo gun melee build (preferably for amara facepuncher/blade fury, but it can be for other characters as well). I can't find amy builds that combine cryo with melee, which is kinda weird considering the fact that the 200% melee damage bonus is completely multiplicative according to the damage formula.

Gamma Spam

The build is a little funky but ill try to explain to the best of my ability. Normally on a super pet build you want your Gamma burst up for as long as possible but it has problems synergizing with ASS and ASE annoints. There is also the fact that no matter the pet, your pet will lag behind. Plus you always want to use Red fang as that provides good taunting and lets you run around but you might be missing out on some dmg.

So the thought was cut out out green tree and use full red and a little bit of purple to get |Not even a challenge| and |Head Count|. You might think that without green tree you lose out on alot and in a way you kinda do but there are ways to make up for it. Void rift is really good in ffyl because it pulls everything in and deals a crap ton of dmg so you dont need |lick the wounds|. Plus with a class mod with splash radius the rift is alot larger than people give it credit for.

|Domaince| is a pretty good replacement to Red fang. And honestly Bounty hunter gives plenty of extra ,bonuses that its often worth it over red fange. the only reason i didnt go green tree is just not enough skill points. |Megavore| plus |Head count| gave me enough cool down reduction that i didnt need to worry too much so i could skip |Eager to impress|

The goal of the build is really simple. Keep the skill up time of Gamma burst low and constantly reposition your pet to better spot to deal more damage/ stay on the move. With how often you activate your action skill a diffrent sheild like revolter or Version 0.m prob work better but thats up to you. I just like nuking wherever i point gamma burst. Do not take any percs or augments that increase your action skill duration, it will slow you down.

There are way better builds in the game i just like to test and thought i would be a fun build to share. The artifact could be adjusted to like toboggan or somthing. You could take two points out of |Not even a challenge| and put the extra points into |Furious attack|, you will have to rely on |Head count| a bit more but also more dmg

Here is the skill tree if you want to play around with it and if you want to tweek some numbers
