Just ported this @Kitty_Jo

[Guide] Splash damage guide

Part of this post is a port from the old forum. The original work was made by Bahroo and @Blutfatal, i'm just porting it here and editing it for the sake of convenience. Kudos to @VaultHunter101 for finding the original thread in "Ye olde forum". What is splash damage ? Splash damage is simply extra damage. think of it as the bullet exploding on impact to deliver a second helping of damage (and a second chance to spark damage over time for elemental weapon) Splash damage is a function of g…

Just fixed a broken link in the Part Spotter’s Guide port, and added repaired links to all of Zoo’s original max stats summaries on Google Docs.

Could someone please double-check I didn’t screw up any of the other links?

[Kitty_Jo (Watcher on the wall)]

What the ■■■■. I never received any kind of notification about you tagging or even replying here, @Chuck80.
My sincerest apologies.

Will get that added in a jiffy!

No problems Kitty
Thanks

The X guide to farming LOOT

Welcome to the X guide to Farming LOOT, written by your meaty friend Krieg the Psycho X and especially made for the people who is new to the Borderlands 2 (BL2 for short) loot world. But we must start with something basic. WHAT THE HECK IS FARMING??? Farming in gaming is the action of getting certain items by killing a determined boss repeatedly until it drops. Ex, Knuckledragger drops the Hornet. Farming is the action of killing repeatedly Knuckledragger until a Hornet appears. SOOO...WHAT'…

@Kitty_Jo,

I’ve just finished expanding the “Part Spotter’s Guides” post to include more of the original information on weapon parts and names, so you might want to adjust the entry title in your list.

Also, while I have your attention, any chance of including the RNG port/compilation?

[VaultHunter101 (Flying: throwing yourself at the ground and missing)]

@Kitty_Jo: the link to Demonite’s complete splash damage guide doesn’t actually point at anything right now!

It should be this link:

Complete Splash Damage Guide

I decided to make a collection of splash guides from all across these forums to create a single mega guide-thing. First of all thanks to the work of @Blutfatal @Chuck80 @wingsday and anyone else who helped creating all of the guides and infothreads. Most of the information in this guide will be coming from these other posts, since I can’t test everything on my own, so if there is any incorrect data or something you would like to add, please let me know! What is splash damage? Splash damage work…

[Kitty_Jo (Watcher on the wall)]

Fixed. Finally.
Discourse was giving me error codes when i was last editing it. Must have screwed it up in the process.

[VaultHunter101 (Flying: throwing yourself at the ground and missing)]

It seems to be broken again. The link is currently pointing to:

instead of

Everything from the ? onwards needs to go.

[Kitty_Jo (Watcher on the wall)]

The hell. It’s working just fine for me…??

Ive tried it on my other 3 devices too and it’s working on them as well.

[VaultHunter101 (Flying: throwing yourself at the ground and missing)]

OK, clarification: It does work, but there’s extraneous text in the link which sometimes throws things off a bit. If you can, just edit out the ? and everything after it - thanks!

Lootology my items back… how about that… not being mean here I’m just sad that I lost them all

[VaultHunter101 (Flying: throwing yourself at the ground and missing)]

If you lost stuff, you could try posting in the relevant tech support category for help, or contacting GBX support directly.

[MeatPopsicle (Stay frosty.....)]

On 360 you have a backup copy that might still have your items.
I’m not sure how you load it though , I havent been on 360 for a while.

[VaultHunter101 (Flying: throwing yourself at the ground and missing)]

You can’t load the back-up copy yourself. The game will fall back on it if possible should the main save be corrupted, but the backup is not always as up-to-date. And if, for some reason, the save file got so hosed that it effectively disappeared from disk (or the account holder accidentally deleted it), it’s gone.

To @devilshadow37501: you could try restarting the game and seeing if it recovers your save file if you just hit “Continue”. No guarantees though.
