Yeah I’ve never had a problem with the Stingray one either.
The Regolith one gets me more often than not. Sometimes I just ditch the buggy and jump it on foot.
Is that the one where the ground is flat until this wedge-shaped “lip” at the edge? If so, I make sure to hit that lip on the Stingray before boosting. Seems to work every time. Again: ramp + boost = soar high and long.
It’s one early into the story before you get a stingray. So your only choice is to plunge into lava in a deathtrap moon buggy.
Once I unlock the stingray I never use a buggy again.
Yeah, OK. I know what you mean. I’m fairly used to the pre-Stingray jumps now, but if you mess up the direction at all, you’re toast. Good thing there are not many jumps for the buggy alone.
I have this nervous tic now from trying to jump back to get to the stuff Janey hid in the safe…
Jumping back isn’t hard. Well it was until I finally figured out you have to jump back on the left side of the track.
/agree
I know I’m supposed to use the left side, and I still tank it like fifty-percent of the time. I lacks coordination…
That became my solution as well after dying so many times on that jump. It’s bad going from Regolith into Serenity’s Waste, but it seems downright impossible going the other direction. Besides, you can call up another car on the Serenity’s side of the door.
Yup moon buggys are for suckered.
Or suckers.
Go to hell autocorrect thingy.
Ive died so many times on the regolith range jump, Ive lost count. Hopefully vehicle jumps will disappear in BL3. Jump pads are ok though.
This. Once I get the stingray mission, I go get one, and I don’t use moon buggies again.
I’ve never failed the story jump in Triton Flats with the stingray, and in fact use a stingray for going around everywhere.
You can even use one to get to Nina’s last suitor. All the way up to the door of his tunnel room.
And a stingray is also faster and more useful to complete Bernadette’s mission. It’s awesome. The climbing, going over walls etc, really helps cut down the driving/walking.
Though that first jump in Serenity’s Waste, where you go from the Concordia part back to Janey’s, I don’t do that anymore. I go to the fuse reactor room, take it, go to Concordia, and use the fast travel to go to Serenity’s Waste and turn the mission in, instead of trying to make that impossible jump.
This x 2. Extra tip for newbies: Boost + Slam + Boost = Big Vertical Leap in the Stingray. Makes just about every place accessible while riding one, and wide expanses of death stuff crossable.

I just don’t think Gearbox understands that vehicles are not the selling point of the game. It’s easy to blame the terrain, but then if it were completely flat it would be visually uninteresting. I think what they should have done was give the vehicles a higher center of gravity (or is it lower? It’s late at night and I’m too tired for physics) so they spin out of control less. I guess Stingrays are necessary for the hopping ability, but they handle like crap. However, during the Torgue-O mission, why is the ramp on the way back to Janey’s base not at a height that the moon buggey can cross? How hard would it have been to add even a slice of the ramp that was at an angle that allowed you to cross back?
I once saw in some silly top 10 list what was wanted in the next BL and one of the entries was more vehicle diversity. I stopped reading after that. Don’t add more until the ones already in the game don’t induce migraines upon use.
I understand the frustration with the buggy, but not the Stingray. That’s just about perfect. It’s not meant to handle like a car, but more like a hovercraft (which it is). Not only can you hop way high and climb buildings and terrain with it, but you can also strafe like mad while battling it out with buggies and Shugguraths. It’s a matter of getting used to it. Don’t think tight cornering; think sliding sideways around the bends.
wow. I just got the stingray to the top of the Darksider tower. Talk about jumping like a skag in heat. Thanks for the tip. The stingray became a hundred times cooler.
