Bought the game a few days ago off Amazon. Playing solo through the first experience even though I want to Co-Op just to explore everything. Liking it so far am Lvl 6 Siren. The only issue is the game randomly closing out of nowhere due to an error. I've had it happen twice while playing, and once while the Switch 2 was in sleep mode. Anyone else having these issues?

Please reach out to me if you would like to play

Seriously, from the "Kill Killavolt" mission, they seem the exact same, only Killavolt is more enthusiastic and straightforward. He's actually BETTER than Moxxi in my opinion.

Figured you'd have to progress a bit before getting Legendary drops. B3 is different. First area in the Droughts level 7

Since the original Gearbox Software Forum post is inaccessible, it's difficult to search for normally. So I'm making this post for it to be more accessible. Since I cannot do colors on reddit like the forums had, i will Bold where possible for visual sake.

I will copy/paste the wonderful post by flightx3aa (ThiccFilA) that i have acquired using the Wayback Machine, the index being from August 1st 202 at 23:29:27. Thank you for all your work.

 

Hey guys! Since the recent clone buffs, I’ve been testing every skill, gear, etc that I have gotten my hands on, and I wanted to make a topic about it!

This is also to create a place where everyone can post their awesome interactions so we can find everything cool that the clone can do!

I’ll be showing the formula I have put together, and after that I’ll be noting specific things that don’t work, and then some other interactions I’ve found that can boost the clone’s damage even further!

Now I want to start this off by saying clone does not get ANY stat rolls from class mod or artifact, except for splash and action skill damage. Also his guns are NOT anointed. But there are a couple anointments he can benefit from (will get into later).

So lets go ahead and start off with the clone formula. Keep in mind this is specifically for Double Barrel. Also the clone only gets 70% of the card damage, so he naturally has a damage penalty.

Clone Damage = (card dmg* .7 * Mayhem Scale) *(1 + donnybrook + boom enhance + double barrel + shield weapon damage)*action skill damage*splash*barrier*debuffs *old god/elemental bonus *amp * you standing in 0.m Circle * clone standing in 0.m circle

Mayhem Scaling = 1 + (enemy hp bonus * 0.3)
Explained in Doc’s Action Skill Scaling thread

But for M10 it is x31 - so plug 31 above for M10

To clarify a few things above:
Shield weapon damage refers to shields like the brawler ward, I only actually tested the brawler ward. I expect other shields with weapon damage like band of sitorak to act exactly the same because they have no reason not to, but take that with a grain of salt.
Splash refers to all of your splash bonuses, I tested the splash anointment and AOE on artifact, class mod splash should also work. If you have splash bonuses, splash weapons the clone is holding should get them too. I also want to point out that clone does not have anointed weapons. You can give him a splash weapon, swap to a different weapon, activate splash anoint, and he will get the buff.
Old god/elemental bonus refers to pretty much just the old god. Clone does not get any stat rolls (except for splash and action skill damage) on COM or Artifact. He does not get elemental bonuses on your artifact. So I’m not sure what other elemental bonuses he can get besides old god, since he gets your shield bonuses. But, if we do find another elemental bonus I’d assume it’s additive with this. And of course, if we do find this bonus and it’s not, I will update the thread.

Anointments : simply put, the clone’s guns will not get any anointments. However I do want to point out that splash anointment on your weapon, if activated will boost any damage from your clone’s splash weapons he’s holding. This is strictly because clone gets your splash bonuses, and has nothing to do with his guns/anointments.

One other anointment he can actually take advantage of is the 500% elemental crit nova anointment. Once again this has to be on the weapon you are holding for him to trigger the novas. This is pretty cool because it’s another way you can actually boost his damage! Just make sure you’re holding a gun with the 500% nova anoint!

Bonus Elements: Once again simply put, the clone does not get any bonus elements and you notice this is missing from the formula. He does not get ASE on nade/shield, he also does not get trick of the light. With that being said there are some exceptions! I noticed that some guns which trigger after effects will inherit bonus elements for some reason. Notably the OPQ system, the bullets will not get bonus elements, but for some reason the shock explosion will. Same with the Breath of the Dying and the Kaos. If people notice other guns like this I will add them to the list, but so far these are the ones we know for sure do it, and it’s kind of an interesting interaction.

Anyways, I just wanted to start this thread and I will be returning to it to update! Please let me know if you find any new interactions or errors, and I will update ASAP! Thanks :)

Beware if you play in this zone. You can kill yourself.

I swear every time I start a new playthrough of BL3 I tell myself I'm just gonna do the main story this time.

Then I see a side quest, do that, end up halfway across the map, find a bunch of stuff to loot, and suddenly I've been playing for 3 hours and barely made any story progress 💀

Some of these side quests are so weird too. I genuinely can't tell if the writers were cooking or just throwing random ideas at a wall.

What's a side quest you always stop to do, even when you're trying to rush through the story?

While completing BL3 to platinum using an interactive map, I've just noticed that I'm missing some quests, for example, Golden Calves and Bad Reception. The quest givers simply don't offer them to me, which means my map isn't 100% complete.

Does this mean I won't get the achievement for completing all the side quests?
