scheezy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 hey guys, i was just wondering if there was anything i should know going in, because i really know nothing about this game except for that the sequel looks badass. i just picked it up and am about to put it in, so any tips or anything at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks! GT: scheezy, if anyone wants to play! also, i may come back to this thread and ask questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorpion XBA Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 The best thing to do is search for other threads on the game. There are tons of them. FAQ, guides, road maps, tips, boosting, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickinOnaChain Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) The best tip I can add is, co-op with a friend. You might find with randoms, you'll end up with modded stuff that might mess up your game. Edited June 6, 2012 by ChickinOnaChain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PANIC ATTACK 10 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 look at all the characters & decide which is best for your playstyle. i perfer lilith & brick. think of brick as the hulk & you get the idea. lilith is under rated but awesome! she is my personal fav. phasewalking can heal & do some serious damage! do your 1st playthrough alone. lots of jerks online with spoilkers too. online is fun with a group you can trust. decrease money penalty asap. dont stay with conventional builds. much more fun doing it your own way. you can also reset your points too. i dont think you can make a bad build with anyone. so have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hype Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 first thing u should know is, it's Borderlands...not Boarderlands. & yes, i'm a spelling Nazi. u see the name of the game way too much to not know exactly how to spell it. second thing is probably the fact that there's tons of threads u can browse that pretty much answer any question u could possibly have on the game.

Nevander Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 The best tip I can add is, co-op with a friend. You mind find with randoms, you'll end up with modded stuff that might mess up your game. This x100. Do NOT play with randoms. They can seriously screw your game over and give you glitched quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSilentAssassin Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hey mate, Send me a friend request, I'm going to start playing this game in the next couple of weeks.

DropDeadArtemus Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 My only advice would be to figure out which character class you want to play as and dive right in. No need to go around the web finding out this or that about the game. Experiencing the game in your own way without any prior knowledge of anything is one of the main things I loved about my first playthrough. You're in for one hell of a ride, my friend.

Xenoes Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I could use a person to help me co-op. Tried today but, just kept getting kicked right away by the same person and then I found some guy who was modded killing everything in one hit and couldn't die.

PyreBall Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Hit me up if you need any help with the game. My GT is below my screenname in the pane to the left of this post. If you purchase an external HD so you can use the DLCs then you're definitely gonna need some help. Also, Amazon Odie, your avatar is smashing, sir Edited June 24, 2012 by PyreBall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man vs Beer Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm new to the game too, what do you mean by "modded stuff" that might mess up your game? I have seen people mention modded weapons and shields but I thought you did that in game like for the class mod achievement "There are some who call me...Tim".

Time Lord Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) I'm new to the game too, what do you mean by "modded stuff" that might mess up your game? I have seen people mention modded weapons and shields but I thought you did that in game like for the class mod achievement "There are some who call me...Tim". Modded guns are guns people created that kill things in 1 hit. Modded shields are shields that never go down because they are so powerful. They don't mess up your game,They just make it less fun. But its your own choice whether you want to play with them or not. And they are an absolute godsend when it comes to Underdome Riot Example: Stock Machine Gun Damage:396665 x5 Accuracy: 60.5 Fire Rate 5.6 Clip: 12 Rose Omega Capacity: 246674 Recharge Delay: 9 Edited June 29, 2012 by Time Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taahh lee gaahh Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 What does the rose omega do? I was lucky enough to have someone dupe me a shield and stock machine gun. My question is im having a friend come over play splitscreen on my box, if there a way I can dupe the weapons for him also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorp1on Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I enjoy play this more when my son is here than solo. He just gets to hyper when we play and runs headlong into areas. One of few that I think are better with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
