New Borderlands Event going on now, until 15th
There's a new Borderlands 2 Event going on, where something special is added everyday. Today until tomorrow afternoon, the drop rate on all shotguns are increased! For some reason it's not letting my paste anything, so I can't link but Randy Pitchford's Twitter links to it.
Strike, Cryonic and myself ran some last night. The only thing we seen was a slag element shotgun. It was the Etech slow moving balloon type shot gun.
Tonight, the drop rate increase is for grenade mods. It's just been stated that the drop rate increases for all rarities, so you'll see more grenade mods drop, not neccessarily, legendary ones, just more of a chance that a grenade mod will drop over say an assault rifle.
The drop rate increase for tonight until tomorrow afternoon is for Sniper Rifles
Gear up for Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt -- the third campaign add-on for Borderlands 2, arriving January 15 -- with special in-game events leading up to its release!
The final day of festivities is upon us, as Pandora grows more dangerous (but also more rewarding) for those adventuring online alongside two or more players in True Vault Hunter Mode* -- should the varkids infesting Tundra Express, Caustic Caverns or Natural Selection Annex survive long enough to enter the pod state multiple times, they stand a far greater chance of morphing into the fearsome Vermivorous the Invincible. However, those that emerge victorious in their struggles against Vermivorous the Invincible also face greater rewards as the legendary Norfleet weapon is far more likely to appear upon his defeat.
This chance to easily hunt one of Pandora's most elusive beasts ends at 10:55AM CST / 4:55PM GMT on Tuesday, January 15 (What time is that for me?) -- giving you just enough time to steady your nerves before setting off to tackle the new adventures and creatures contained within the Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt campaign add-on!
New DLC is up - Hammerlock's Hunt.
And they fixed multiplayer! Hooray!
I had to download it 4 times yesterday. 3 of those times came after downloading it and playing online for a bit.
Yeah I was hearing about that big screw up with the new compatibility pack. Funny how something meant to make online play possible, actually screwed it up lol. With all the bugs, outsourced dlc, it really feels like Gearbox is being kinda crappy to their fans. Certain games have the capability of creating a super loyal fanbase every now and then. It feels like Gearbox knew this, like EA with ME3, and decided to make as much money as they could out of it. I have no problem w/Borderlands comic books, shirts, toys, but when you outsource your dlc and market it as a Gearbox product, you expect Gearbox quality. I'm sure many people will never buy a Season Pass ever again. Too many people got stuck with crappy dlc they didn't like which is why I didn't get it. Prepaid dlc gives developer's the opportunity to be extremely lazy, b/c you've already bought it. So far it's been 1 decent, and 2 crappy dlcs in the S.Pass, not to mention the collectors and pre-order packs for $5 each, and the new appearance pack that comes out in the next couple weeks that'll prolly be $10.
Finally found a Jimmy Jenkins spawn last night with my primary character. Now just a few (hundred) more close range shotgun kills... Maybe I'll get "Challenge Accepted" one of these days.
I have them all done but Jimmy Jenkins :( I've looked forever for that guy!
Did you guys try the Wildlife exploitation preserve trick?
I saw it, but I was too late in my second playthrough with the character with most of the other challenges unlocked. I just went through Opportunity a few times and finally got him.
Yeah I'm about to post in the Borderlands section, but the new skin pack is out, 15 separate outfits, all $1 a pieceso that's $15 freaking bucks for skins. Plus Randy tweeted to someone today, confirming Aliens:Colonial Marines is only about 8-10hrs long, and that it's multi-playthrough focused...
$15 for toon skins? They have got to be outside their minds.
