Eye opening indeed. Thank you.
What the bloody hell are you all talking about?!?! You have always been able to get a new Bad Touch each playthrough.
Hell, I was even able to get a new one for my Krieg just by resetting UVHM just a few days ago, and I know that I already got one for him because I always grab one before going to the Bunker each playthrough, I still had the lvl57 one from my first run with Meatman through UVHM sitting in the bank.
I have never been able to get a Bad Touch in either UVHM or TVHM with a character that got one in NVHM first. Maybe resetting UVHM clears a flag that allows you to get another, but I’ve never reset UVHM on any of my characters so I can’t comment.
I reset my Axton recently and I’m certaint since he was my first character he got the bad touch in nvhm. If I get a new bad touch in ivhm I’ll be sure to report back.
Every time I start a character I grab a Bad Touch in NVHM, and every time i’ve been able to grab another on TVHM and UVHM, strange…
Perhaps it has something to do with what version we happen to play on? I know that some games have weird inconsistencies between different versions, like platform x vs platform y vs platform z, or physical vs digital, or Steam vs non-Steam.
I’m using the Digital PS3 version for the record.
So am I. I’ll do what I stated above tonight.
I’m on 360, running latest patch and hotfix. I’ve just tried this with a few characters:
- Level 72 Axton: Bad Touch in NVHM, but only getting a Good Touch in UVHM. (Has lvl. 72 Bad Touch from another player)
- Level 72 Maya: Bad Touch in NVHM, but only getting a Good Touch in UVHM.
- Level 52 Axton: Didn’t tip in NVHM, Bad Touch in TVHM, Good Touch in UVHM.
Are you sure you didn’t simply pass down the Bad Touch from your first character in NVHM to your second etc.?
100% sure, especially considering that the Badass Constructor fight before the Bunker with that character (Krieg) is far too ingrained in my mind (57 Bad Touch 53 Unkempt Harold 58 corrosive Ladyfist 50 fire Norfleet kinda ingrained), that an the only other two characters I took to UVHM both also still have their 50+ Bad Touch in the bank (my first being one of them, whom I definitely remember grabbing a BT with on both NVHM & TVHM).
Well, score one for the PS3 digital version then. I should also clarify that mine is the disk version on 360 - I wonder if there’s a difference between disk and digital versions?
OK just tested.
Ps3 downloaded/digital copy
Latest patch and hot fix
Op8 axton who recently reset uvhm.
Tipped moxxi got a good touch.
^Well that rules out that theory…
This is the first i’ve heard of anyone not being able to get the Bad Touch on multiple playthroughs…
I don’t think resetting UVHM makes it count as a new playthrough as far as getting a Bad Touch is concerned; I distinctly remember counting on getting a Bad Touch whenever I’d bring a new character into Sanctuary in a new mode though (I’m on Steam).
I played/play on the 360 and XBox One and can say that I’ve only ever gotten the BT once per character across all play thrus, UNLESS I used a second character on another profile. Using a second character will allow the character that previously got the BT to get it again. I’ve not tried saving/quitting with the second character and then just dashboarding with my first character to see if this can be done multiple times or not but if someone wants to check that out…
Hey there, the OP back again, this is really tangental, but does anyone know what the sound effect is when taking an item out of storage? I cannot stop hearing Marcus’ voice saying “Bondage!” – but that can’t be, can it?
First of all use for 1st character a farming character like Axton or Maya aka commando or siren. i can’t answer number 1 cause Im playing my axton again which is non elemental and i’ve forgoten all about DOT cause my gaige is the one using elemental weapons.
2 No you should farm only when your LVL 50 endgame of TVHM, LVL 72 endgame of UVHM, OP5 cause enemies will be hard in OP6 - OP8, OP8 cause its the final lvl you can get in this game. To unlock OP levels must beat digistruct peak to unlock OP1 then beat it again to gain next level so on until OP 3 or OP 4 wherein the final boss will unlock now you must defeat it to progress OP 5 to OP 8
3 golden keys are pretty useless in this game unless you don’t have time for farming
Tip wait till lvl 50 to do sidequests in TVHM lvl 72 in UVHM reset UVHM in OP 5,reset again UVHM in OP8. Reason for this is so you can get gear that is in missions only
I’ve never heard that, so obviously it cannot be! There are different sound effects for different classes of items when you pick them up from the ground, lockers, boxes, etc. Not sure exactly what you mean by “out of storage” though - from a vending machine, the bank, the stash, or equipping from within your inventory?
I mean out of the bank or out of Claptrap’s stash. Could you try it and tell me what you hear? I can no longer un-hear “bondage” until I get a replacement!
Any item, or specific types of item? I’ll def. check when I get home tonight, because you have me curious now!
One more thing: How rare is “rare drop”? I’m looking for a decent fire weapon, and I thought I would try for the Hellfire from Scorch, but so far she’s only dropped green items. Do I need to kill her 50 times or so? I’m finding it quite difficult, too, simply because of those trash fire spiderants (I find them harder to kill than just about anything – any tips?).
It’s random, but drop rates were increased in the patch last year. 50 kills would be a severe bout of bad luck, but the RNG can be fickle of course.
In the interest of efficiency, ignore as many trash mobs as you can - I agree that those burrowing fire spiderants can be annoying - and take out Scorch as quick as possible, check for drops, then rinse/repeat.
You can make the run quicker by keeping to the left of the first bandit encampment and not engaging them at all.
You should have a Hellfire before long - provided you don’t take me at my word and start expecting it, in which case RNGesus will deny you any and all drops until you learn some humility and respect. Very temperamental, that one 
(On an entirely irrelevant side note, Scorch is a ‘he’, as confirmed by Tannis in the Peak.)
