I didnt know the alien thing meant double prefix

#692

I mean it’s obviously not just alien though…Torgue guns have those titles…

#693

I’d like to know who thought ricocheting bullets back at the player was a good idea.

YESSSSSSS! I thought I was just crazy lol

Literally the most lazy mechanic ever used to make a mode/game more challenging. It’s not fun going down 1000x due to your own bullets. Who came up with this?

#696

seriously, and it happens SO easily!

#697

If anything needs to be nerfed it’s that. Reduce the damage caused by that -82% sheesh.

#698

LOL! Seriously.

#699

I mean it’s hard enough dodging all the AoE on the ground from elemental enemies like the heavyweights. That plus all the gun fire from aim locking enemies who never miss a shot. Then you have to switch guns to something that isnt gonna cause you to 1 shot yourself and have to worry about that next gun having ammo and if its reloaded or not.

It really is chaos, and then to have the enemies (some) be over powered, meanwhile we get nerfed lol so now we just fall.

A quick look at the modifiers can turn the tides in your favour though

I pay close attention to the modifications in mayhem modes. It still happens. And when playing online with other people you cant just ask them to quit and reload every time the mods arent in your favor.

The ricocheting bullets need a nerf. Period.

Not that this is the place to discuss modifiers, but I think the point of the Reflect modifier is to push you to try weapons that can’t be reflected. Torgue, some alien stuff. I don’t have an exhaustive list, but I’m gonna work on it. Also, melee and grenades.

Hyperion Host Alien Barrel shotguns are good. I said multiple times to my partner tonight “you can’t deflect a bouncing ball of magma!”

Yea I quit and restart if that one pops. It’s a terrible way to adjust difficulty.

I have been looking for more purple versions of alien barrels, and even anointed. Have you had luck? I dont for the life of me…

#706

I’m still down at level 35. I’m playing three characters and one of my games is a co-op only. And I work a lot. I’ve mostly found them as blues? There’s a Torgue Legendary Alien Barrel Pistol…the Occultist? I just got it off troy

That said, I find anointed alien barrels in the Earl machine every once in a while. Probably once every 5 times I’ve checked?

#707

ah yeah, good idea, i should check the machine more often! :slight_smile:

What are some of the “top” shields you guys thinkin? Like I knew them in BL2 ya know, I have no idea with this game lol

#709

Might be a better question for the loot threads. Theres so many to try out though. I love my stalker tree anointed stop gap though

For that to be effective you would need alien barrel/any gun that doesn’t reflect for each gun category. For challenge maps like the slaughterstar 3000 and proving grounds due to ammo shortages. But then what’s the point in farming any of the other guns if they become useless due to ricocheting?

I feel like mayhem mode should have been worked on a bit longer than what it is now. Stronger enemies I can work with but having to use specific guns with specific barrels to kill mobs and those certain guns have to be of certain elements to not be resisted. Just to keep from going down repeatedly.
