I've run into melraz, Burke and Dan. 2 minutes ago, RIPPA said: For the exact reason he mentioned Like I remember Robert saying he already unlocked the 4th weapon slot because he had done the mission with melraz but he was still on like Pandora. This. I'm only like two missions into Promethea on my run through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only manufacturer that gives me pause is CoV since you can't really lean on the trigger of their weapons for fear of breaking them after they overheat. Then you've just got a useless paperweight sitting in your inventory. The CoV guns don't really break. If you overheat one you just have to go through a'repair' animation that's a bit longer than your average reload. I thought the same thing at first and refused to use the orange CoV pistol I got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 At least on PS4 there's a classic control mode where guns are mapped to the d-pad. I used it for a while and then went back to the new way since it remaps switch weapon mode to a long press on triangle so I kept switching guns when I was trying to change modes. Now I just try to keep my guns in order from longest to shortest range. I'm midway through the Killowatt quest and I hate listening to him so much. I can't wait to murder this dude. I don't think any of the bosses have taken me more than 2-3 tries so far. Having a pet to tank for you really helps playing solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I hate that the legendary weapons are at the level of the planet you are on not at the level your character is on. I went back and did a bunch of challenges and got 3 different legendary weapons...and had to sell them. What am I going to do with a level 7 legendary pistol when I'm a level 21? It really doesn't help that the game doesn't tell you, "hey, those challenges you found when you pressed the wrong button on the map, you can get really good gear from them."

I used a level 21 Legendary weapon effectively until I was nearly 30th. It takes a long time before Legendary weapons are no longer viable because they are out-leveled by enemies. And for God's sake, don't sell them. Toss them into the vault on Sanctuary so that any new characters can have access to them once you unlock access to Sanctuary for those characters.

I was able to kill KillaVolt in one go, but it took two Second Winds to get me to victory. You have to keep moving as much as possible since he's able to shatter your shields almost at will. It also does not help that the encounter is counterintuitive. Normally you'd think that Shock weapons would be useful against a boss with a shield, but KillaVold is very resistant to the Shock property. I found Radiation weapons to be effective as a DoT to counter his Shield and Fire weapons were naturally effective in damaging his health, In the event that you are downed, do your best to kill one of the wandering Psycho minions as fast as you can to get a Second Wind.

cwoy2j Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 So, this might be a stupid question but I'm playing as Zane and I picked the Sentl and the ability to throw grenades as my two action skills. I don't seem to be able to change that and equip a 2nd action skill instead of grenades. I thought it was one of those things where you had the choice to switch back and forth between having 2 skills or 1 skill and a grenade. Am I missing something or will I need to respec my skills in order to have 2 action skills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) So, yeah. My new favorite character is Clay. Duh.. Troy and his new Anointed who are selectively immune to almost everything can fuck right off. Nothing is worse than speccing Iron Bear to do Corrosive and Cryo damage and then noting that the mini-boss I'm fighting is resistant to both of those element types. I also hate the Anointed because I keep forgetting to shatter them after they're dead so that they drop loot. I finally tipped Moxxi enough cash to get a weapon in the mail. It's a pretty badass purple Shock SMG and it should come in handy later on. Moze is around 30th level now and I am up to The Family Jewel mission. The age of the Gearbox developers is beginning to show since the side mission I got from the Sanctuary IIII bounty board that's associated with me exploring this lost starship is a callback to the Disney sci-fi cult classic, The Black Hole. RIP, Chadd. Swamp Bro was a hilarious mission. Chadd makes telephone noices. Game prompts me to *Answer the Call of Danger* "Uh. Hello, Danger. This is Moze." FUCK YEAH~! I am a bit annoyed that I only got a new color scheme for the runner for doing the Get Quick, Slick mission, but the Grog Lube paint job is quite nice. If you REALLY want to experience how poorly the vehicles handle, do this mission and the burger delivery mission at Reliance. Edited September 24, 2019 by J.T.

J.T. Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) And I HATE the added gunsight sway I get when I try to use a sniper rifle. Yes, I understand. If I want to get the best performance out of a sniper rifle, I should be playing FL4K instead of Moze. Fuck you, Gearbox. You said I'd be decent with any weapon regardless of class.

Robert C Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 That Killavolt fight would've sucked if I hadn't been over leveled. Gearbox sure does love their elemental damage floors right about now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, KillVolt and Katagawa Ball are similarly annoying in their ability to deny you the ability to stand your ground and kill them to death. Their AoE DoT ground attacks can go fuck right off. The only good thing about the KillaVolt fight over the Katagawa Ball fight is at least you don't have to cheese KillaVolt to win. Running and jumping to avoid damage will suffice and you get lots of opportunities to get a Second Wind if you are downed. I have never been able to beat Katagawa Ball without going to the HVAC hidey spot to cheese him and there is like one support enemy around to kill for a Second Wind, but he runs away like a bitch if you get too close to him.

There is another one later (maybe 2 planets after Killavolt) that is worse. Much, much worse. Gotta level up some more before trying him again.

RIPPA Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 I really really don't understand the design of that fight. Like how there aren't things around that you can kill to get out of FFYL is beyond me. At least at the vault - random guardians popped up. Fuck you could even shoot the clouds and get revived. (Granted that one also had an ally that may or may not revive depending on if she is glitching out or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
