Me and my buddies started a new game yesterday (bad timing with the PSN problems).

I already played it once, it’s their first time. I am playing Claptrap. So funny and so weird…

We are still trying to figure out how to approach the game (pacing, missions, lead, challenges, trophies, etc).

Right, but sometimes it’s more complicated than frustrated or clueless players. Just check the BL2 UCP thread for the discussion about the Blockade’s resistances. It was assumed to be bugged for a long time (even by the math-experienced players around here) due to its 38% resistance when depleted, but they found out it was actually working as described on the card: several hundred percent when completely full (remember, Borderlands math means that n% resistance equate to dividing incoming damage by n% 1 +, i.e. dividing by e.g. 6 if n is 500), 38% otherwise.

Ok, I need suggestions. I have two through NVHM now on PS4, and i’m thinking maybe i’ll do it with a third one before taking any into TVHM. My two existing ones are Athena and Fragtrap. Who next!?

Jack 100% jack

My favorite character is Jack, but Nisha is also really fun to level.

I like Aurelia, but she has too many problems that ruin her experience at times. And Wilhelm is just plain boring, but he’s easy to gear and not particularly bad at anything.

I did love Jack on Xbox. I was actually thinking about Nisha, so I think whichever one I do now, i’ll do the other of those two next. Aurelia’s voice acting irritates me but I can play with the sound down (I often do anyway), and I never did much with Wilhelm before.

I’ll give it some thought :slight_smile:

Edit: I started a Nisha, but I may just get her to Concordia and decide properly later.

I’ve always only used the Blue and Green trees never have put 1 point into the red tree. And I breeze through about everything

this is about how mine is set up,

I believe I do have 3 points in Fuzzy Logic in my other L70 Claptrap, But this is about how the main Claptrap is set up

Those are the only 3 points I have in the right-hand tree myself. Everything else is left and centre. (What you might call a social democrat build!)

I think i’ll carry on with Nisha and start Jack once she’s finished Normal. I know what skills I should want with her I think, I made a level 30 build here, does this look reasonably sensible? Or does it make more sense to do the middle tree first?

That looks pretty reasonable to me. Going down the middle tree first, especially if you plan to mainly use pistols, can cause a real ammo shortage early on in the game. The right tree is far more ammo-efficient, which makes it better in the early stages of the game.

I hadn’t even considered the early game ammo issue, nice catch. Ok, i’ll build what I posted :slight_smile:

Edit: It’s a running joke on here that i’m a terrible driver in these games. I believe @Jefe and @Worblehat are the ones who make these grossly unfair comments. Here’s some proof about how great a driver I am, I completely meant to park where I did anyway so :stuck_out_tongue:

For what it’s worth, I don’t believe I’ve ever made any comments…outwardly :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, if it makes you feel any better, I think I failed that jump five times in a row on my first playthrough.

I’ve played this game off and on for around 2 years. I still regularly die there at least once per playthrough :smiley:

Sorry, missed this for some reason. I’m not completely sure but I like me some Jakobs, and she seems the best equipped to make use of that. Any advice is welcome though!

#2264

For Jakobs the go to is the Crapshooter COM. With it…

  • Hot Lead becomes amazingly good when Tombstone is up
  • Trick Shot is one of her best skills, and you only need one point since the COM boosts it
  • Eventually you’ll kill thing so fast that Ruthless will cause you to just spend time in your action skill with nothing to kill, causing it to take longer to come off cooldown when you reach the next group of enemies. And Trick Shot allows you to not rely on you AS

So as such I’d suggest this, but feel free to ignore it and experiment on your own.

I hate it before because i cant get to the jump pad, but when i dedicated myself in trophy hunting in PS4 and one of the achievement missing is the locations trophy, i found out how to get to all the jump pads and concluded that it is not a bad map afterall.
