Finally!  A dedicated Borderlands 2 thread!

Well I roll with just two characters:

Level 50 Siren - Maya
Level 32 Mechromancer - Paige

I mostly solo as I really haven't tried to find anyone other than my brother and friends to play with.  I finished the Captain Scarlett DLC with my Siren in TVHM while I finished the same DLC with my Mechromancer in NM.  I have to say that the Captain Scarlett DLC proved to be a challenge compared to the base game.  As for my favorite weapons ... Tediore E-tech for my Mechromancer while my Siren is equipped with Seraph weapons.

If you do a search on Youtube, you can find out how to play with Japanese voices (with English subs).  Some voices sound better while other voices don't "translate" well.

I'll introduce you to my sexy friends later, but first, Happy Halloween!

Next skin coming up is for the Gunzerker, so supposedly there's a customization for all of them. Codes are only valid until Nov. 4 so take a break from rolling the slot machines and be sure to redeem the codes!

I'd suggest following GearBox's Twitter since they're also distributing keys for the Sanctuary chest from time to time.

Heh, copy-paste works wonders with these Shift codes.  I'll give these skins a look when I get around to it (got back to playing ME3 after I told myself to stop).

Props for making the thread, Stryfe! :thumbsup

I never really got into Borderlands but I frickin' love Borderlands 2. It's pretty much Borderlands on steroids: better plot, better characters, funnier moments and bigger fucking guns. I started playing solo with Axton but I never got that far due to lack of free time. I simply don't have time to play with more than one character. Anyways I'm using Salvador (lvl 45) whenever I play with Stryfe. Salvador's gunzerking and Maya's phaselock is one deadly combo :yep:

Here's my current build:


I went straight for the tank skill tree but lately I have been falling in love with the Rampage tree because of all the gunzerking related skills. Thanks to 'Last Longer' I'm often still gunzerking after the battle is already over. Also gunzerking with two rocket launchers is fucking awesome, it does an insane amount of damage no matter how badass the enemy is. The only thing that sucks about it is that I'm spending a lot money on rockets  :sweatdrop:

Been rockin' these two launchers lately:


The perfect relic for any launcher lover:


My current skin for Salvador:

Dat midget ninja skin.

Badass rank:


Getting ready to blast some loaders in Opportunity:


The only orange weapons I have found so far:


I never really used the Gub cuz I was already around lvl 23-24 when I found it but I've been rockin' Sledge's Shotgun ever since I got it. Easily the best shotgun I have ever had.

So, who else is playing? what are your characters? Fave weapons? Bosses, moments, pics, videos? Try to avoid huge plot spoilers, though. :P

My favorite NPC is mos def Tiny Tina:

The upcoming DLCs better have more Tina :yep:

Two awesome side quest guns:

Well ok, there's absolutely nothing awesome about Bane but at least Morningstar is worth using :P

Corrosive Stinkpot might not be my favorite gun but I have been using it since I got it:

I'm at lvl 45 atm but the good ol' Stinkpot still comes in handy against dem Loaders.

Anyways, anybody wanna join us? There must be more euro-HiPsters playing the game :yep:

In the words of Bart Scott, "CAN'T WAIT!"  I'll be looking forward to trying out the Mr. Torgue DLC (bought the Season Pass to save a little on the overall DLC cost).  Also, GB actually nerfed the almighty Bee a little bit (I never got that shield anyways so I'm not too concerned).  Finally, I just got my Mechromancer to level 50 a few days ago (been meaning to try and finish TVHM with her before the end of the month).  Now my Siren and Mechromancer are both level 50 with about the same gear.
