yeah... with the bee and all the other bonuses then combined with the rate of fire means LOTS of damage could get done in a short amount of time... which is good with a bee since you can squeeze in lots of damage before you eventually get hit..

[GAS KING]

Oh yeah!

I'm sure it'll be sweet.

5 hours til I leave. ugh.

[ShaneV]

that's cool... and I agree... killing everything with one shot is boring, check this guy's build for Zero out.. this is why I want the infinity pistol... things might get a bit easier for me with his... at least some of the bosses

No Death Mark, no Death Blossom, no Bore. This guy just went full retard. This is the lvl 50 infinity build: http://bit.ly/1215VmO .

yeah.. that video isn't the best example, he just does the bare essentials... that link is actually pretty similar to what I have with my lvl61 except I have some Bloodshot skills in there too, I'm just going to have to shuffle a few things around to maximize it for the infinity pistol though... then hunt down a few other boosts like the sheriff's badge which I've got a few times on my play through so I don't think farming for it will take too long

[GAS KING]

^ I might be able to hook you up.

[Marc G]

oh you the man!! lol

[GAS KING]

gonna be a lootsplosion disappearing act tonight

[GAS KING]

Marc, got stuck at work....should be on within an hour to hook you up.

[Marc G]

Thanks for the loots yesterday! got some sweet upgrades that's for sure!!! Just need to farm for the Sheriff's badge and the infinity pistol build would be good to go. I did a respec on my Zero yesterday, still getting used to not having a fairly strong melee side and especially the Execute skill in my build but I'm getting used to it, guns that were strong before have gotten even more powerful with some of the skills I've maxed out like Headshot, Killer and Velocity getting a critical hit can seriously bring the damage PLUS having the Rising Shot skill maxed I was able to get an 8 MILLION hit point sniper shot off... trying to recreate it since but no luck lol... need to get some enemies with BIG critical spots

[GAS KING]

Oh, I didn't hook you up with the sheriff's badge or infinity? I thought I saw both of those in there? maybe not.

sniping in BL2 takes some real skill.
If you can do that.....awesome.

How do you like the DLC?

[Marc G]

oh you gave me like 4 infinities I think lol.. but no Sheriff's Badge. Sniping with Zero can be made easier from some of his skills in the sniping tree, it also depends on the gun, some are more accurate and stable than others.

So far I'm digging the DLC a lot, I've just been running the main story so far since I have no need to get XP points since I'm maxed out already. Once the main story is done I'll start in on the side missions. The maps are MASSIVE though, I spent a good bit of time yesterday just exploring the maps while doing the main story.

Well, let me know if you want it. Not sure why my Zer0 didn't have one?
Maybe my Sal has it.

Same here. I played for about 6 hours straight. lol
It's a much more engaging DLC compared to the others.
goddamn mimics!
Haven't gotten any good drops.........I was at least hoping for a magic grenade.

Yep. That's why I enjoy running the content solo first......I poke around a lot, explore, get lost, etc.......
Ended up doing most of the side missions and story missions.........I think I'm pretty close to the end?

[Marc G]

hahhaha... yeah the mimics!!!!! the first one scared the living shit outta me!! now once I go up to a chest I open and back the fuck up!!

[GAS KING]

You'll know why after you play it.

[GAS KING]

That's the worst.......lol.........get all excited to play, and DAMN UPDATES!

[Marc G]

hahaha.. well... I finished the main story last night... thank god for the Unkempt Harold... that sucker saved me BIG time.. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't an armory/treasure room to raid at the end BUT I did get a Legendary Grenade Mod after beating the last boss, a leaching electric type... can't remember the actual name... now on to the side missions, looking forward to that...

Oh I also got one of the magical grenades, it got to a point where they were dropping like crazy... I like that once you have it selected it replenishes your supply of grenades over time... I kept the slag on since the elemental ones couldn't come close to the other elemental ones I have...

[GAS KING]

You gotta beat the raid bosses for l00t and if you can feed eridium into a certain thing in Flamerock, random (any quality) guns will come out........also the seraph store!

DPUH........almost can't use other weapons now..........other guns feel like toys.
Sal with DPUH and Rubi.....+5 in Money Shot skill.....unstoppable.
Went down a few times, die a few times......but mostly just domination.

the slag one is really awesome. Can't wait to find one with my Siren (even though she already slags)
I got the lightning bolt spellnade......didn't like that one as much.
Fireball spellnade is cool, but you can never have enough slag in UVHM.

[Marc G]

nice... I really haven't done much exploring as yet, just did two side missions that were on the way while doing the main story. There was a point the main story where after killing some guys I had my choice of 2 lighting spellnades, 2 fire and the Slag.... The Slag made the most sense to me since as you said, I UVHM you can't have enough slag...ever..and it shot out two projectiles instead of one. besides after you hooked me up with all that loot I have way more powerful electric grenade mods and as far as fire goes I like my Moxxi grenade mod. Hell now I have TOO much electric grenade mods... The Strom Front, Leech and Quasar... all so good...

[Marc G]

put in some time last night with some of the side missions.. the two best so far was the Game of Thrones one just for the lulz and being able to bitch slap Jeoffery and then the Moxxi mission with the slippery gun... when i first started using it and it was falling out of my hands I thought I was doing something wrong... then I read the red text... lol

[GAS KING]

Yeah........Moxxi's Crit. <---

[Marc G]

yeah... they really running with the puns in this DLC

[GAS KING]

I probably don't understand half of the references either.

[Marc G]

yeah... they are spoofing a lot of other games apparently, so some stuff is just going over my head... still fun though... I tried to do the mission that's like the fighting dome thing... fuck me it's hard... I haven't really gotten the killing of some of those skeletons down as yet and the arena has lots of things around to kill you... looks like it will be fun in CoOp play though..

[GAS KING]

magic arena..........I didn't really care for BL1's Moxxi Underdome either......but I think you're right, co-op could be fun.

[Marc G]

did some farming this weekend.... Took Pete out a few times, he's dropping Seraph items like crazy... mostly shields but I got a few grenade mods too... also farmed the Sorcerer at the end of Tiny Tina's DLC and he's dropping Legendarys, got the Volcano from him on my first try, then I got a better version of the Magic Missile slag grenade mod from him as well which has been my secret weapon for taking out Pete, that and a class mod that gives me a 100% critical hit boost...

Let me know when you want to do some farming, if I can take out Pete solo the two of us shouldn't have a problem at all.
