Best / Worst Sidequests

Or even do it, just accept it :slight_smile:

Man… so many good ones, I can’t think of them all. Off the cuff, I like Defend Slab Tower because a) it’s a very rare mob of entirely armored things, where I can really focus on corrosive damage (Washburne Refinery being the other; Opportunity has too many humans, and I have to mix it up). The incoming Loader mob is also pretty dense.

Honorable mention:
Gas Guzzlers for the banter between Scooter and Hammerlock.
Matter of Taste for the banter between Torgue and Buff Gamer.

Worst? Torture Chairs. It’s meant to be a way to relay the story of her treatment under Hyperion interrogation (which is fine… I don’t fault the authors for this and frankly would have done it the same way myself). It’s just otherwise boring because once you’ve heard the story, it’s just a chore: you don’t leave Sanctuary and her voice gets annoying after a while. I challenge myself to see how much of each dialog I can cut off by optimizing how quickly I can pick them up.

on my OP8 salvador, i usually dropped down to OP0 just to finished this quest.

Just finished Maya in NVHM currently level 34 and i finished every missions in vanilla game except the bandit, hyperion and creature slaughter side missions. am saving dlc and headhunter missions in uvhm.

the one i don’t like is timed missions, missions you need to travel to another map to complete (like clan wars missions). and missions in the fridge cause i hate rats. and maybe claptrap’s birthday.

previously i hate sawtooth cauldron missions and opportunity missions, but with my current run with Maya, i somewhat became familiar with the map and i just realise how good the map was.

This…I hate this mission…so much. If it weren’t for the Triquetra, Maggie and Slagga, I’d never do it.

On the bright side , Out of Body Experience just to hear the lounge lizard at the end.

Best: Shoot This Guy in the Face
Worst: Claptrap’s Birthday Bash! - if you don’t do it, Clappy is stuck in its corner not playing dubstep songs. I haven’t touched that quest since I realized this.

Kill Yourself, The Iceman Cometh, and Winter is a Bloody Business are all great options for Best Sidequest though. :slight_smile:

+1 for face McShooty.
Best mission ever.

I love everything in Caustic, always do those on every playthrough. Also, Assassinate the Assassins, Splinter Group, and Good, Bad, and the Mordecai.

For the worst, as an OP8 player, I gotta mention Bad Hair Day. Getting melee kills on non-melee characters can be a struggle, even if you only need four, and everything in the Fridge and Opportunity. I don’t like those areas.

The only good part about that quest is that it unlocks Doc Mercy for Infinity farming- they come in handy when hunting for heads/skins as ammo worries become moot :grinning:

I hate Opportunity as a map, so any sidequests there are the worst for me.
Assault on Dragon Keep sidequests are usually funny, I like them.

Yeah. I like those.

While I don’t mind that map, Statuesque is awful.

Other than the rough rider quest are there any good rewards from Hammerlocks dlc?
I dont seem to do that one much.

For the Jakobs aficionados, there’s the Rex, Elephant Gun, Hydra and Damned Cowboy which can drop from Bultoss, Arizona, Rouge and Bloodtail respectively.

The Rex is irritating but the Elephant Gun is great ( a nicer version of the Buffalo ). I’ve gotten the Damned Cowboy once and remember it to be nice ( it’s a prettier Hammer Buster with slower fire rate ). Never gotten a Hydra but would love to find one.

I won’t mention the Twister :wink:

Ah , I might have a go at getting an elephant gun.
Is Arizona the big gangly thing in a cave?

Also , I love twister farming. It usually only takes about 20 mins to spawn OOO , and then I have to decide wether to bother with Dexi or not :grimacing:

That’s the one

Hammerlock’s DLC is the one I have spent the least time in, are those weapons actually worth getting or are they inferior to the other things I can get elsewhere?

The Elephant Gun is very nice - it’s like the Buffalo : no scope, terrible fire rate but crazy damage - might be great with Zer0 ( who is next on my agenda ). A Muckamuck is still better overall but the Hammerlock skins are beautiful.

Otherwise, the Rex is a vastly inferior Unforgiven ( which you could say is a vastly inferior Maggie - I think this conversation happened a bit ago with Troubled…and as a complete aside, I’m using the Unforgiven right now and am starting to like it ).

From what I can tell, the Hammer Buster is basically better than the Damned Cowboy, but effectively only because of its fire rate - and I’m not even sure if Bloodtail is farmable ( never tried - it’s such a bitch to get to just for farming ).

Doesn’t sound like a worthy thing to farm when the HB is such a simple farm then. Unforgiven to me is just pointless because the Maggie exists. But i’m no expert.

That’s just it : HB and Maggie are vastly superior from a DPS standpoint ; the others offer higher one-shot reward so are for those who want the challenge.

Don’t forget the Interfacer … One of this gun ā€œneededā€ to kill the boss that drops it … :confused:
