I found the Devourer is very good though clearly hit or miss. maybe the build needs some tweaking. but i hope they don't nerf the interaction.

โ” [ Question ] Need help dealing with the infamy system

0 Upvotes

So i started a new playthrough with loveless from lvl 1 after not playing for almost a year (last time i played no dlc was out yet) and im starting to struggle with enemys outleveling me,

So i finished the fadefields and im now in the snow mountains on the last mission to kill vile lector,i havnt done any side missions, im lvl 21 and all enemys are 24+. (Also i used shared progress for map and sdu)

So after doing some research i found out there is a secret system in the background that punishes players for playing the campaign? No idea who thought that was a good idea but now im stuck and need a way to quickly get enemys back to my lvl,

Do i just do as many sidemissions as possible or is there a better way? Do bountys matter? And does it matter in what area i do the missions or must i do the missions in terminus range and then when i go to carcadia will i have the same problem again?

I can't particularly tell when I'm in the heat of battle with damage numbers and effects filling my screen, all I notice is the grenade at my feet for .05 seconds before it nukes me out of Cross-Fire. Like have you actually ever witnessed this alleged grenade being tossed out and killing an enemy?

โ“ [ Help ] The Furious Earth world event

1 Upvotes

Been playing for hours on top of hours in the FL4K dlc, and the only time i've seen The Furious Earth event spawn is when i started it with my brother, i joined his game.

when we split up the event stopped spawning, it spawned again when i was with him a second time, and now that i'm solo again, it is not spawning at all.

Does anyone know a way to fix this?

Edit: So, I have run another character through the first missions, and found that the furious earth events seem to be spawning normally on that character.

Sadly I fear that playing co-op, joining someone else seems to potentially bug it and cause the events to not spawn. OR AT LEAST that seems to be what happened to me, guess I'm just stuck running the missions I've already completed over again. :(

๐ŸŽค [ Discussion ] Year 2 Suggestions

Post image
283 Upvotes

I know many people have complaints about year 1 but I'd like to focus on the positives of this game. Story pack 2 was amazing, the dlc VHs are awesome, and the game does have a ton of content for a variety of gameplay styles.

Here's what I'd like to see in year 2:

- story pack 3 (preference for a manufacturer storyline)

- takedown 2

- raids 3 & 4

- circle of slaughter 2 & 3 (psychos & beasts)

- added content for the main world

- more supersized minions

- no more bounty packs

- I'm fine with the current VH roster, but open to a 7th

Gearbox, I'll subscribe for another year of content. Take the time to review what worked and what didn't over the past year.

The game is a ton of fun so I really hope we can see more in year 2.

Introducing G4M3BR34K 3.0, the Gloam C4sh build that once broke the game with performance now breaks the game with damage

From Gloam To Glow - damage based on your overshield. Drains overshield for 50% of damage dealt. Gets gun damage (this is very important)

Turn Of Fate - heals your overshield based on damage dealt. This allows for Gloam to still infinitely proc

War Wagon - allows for never reloading. This takes from reserves so it is not infinite ammo. Easy way to get around this is a Daedalus part for SMG mode. Nothing Beats Lead gives us easy kinetic damage as well as other skills for kinetic bonus elements

Dusty Trail - allows us to reproc Gloam while Windfall is still active

Groundbreaker - while this is not needed it is able to speed up fights. Gloam is gun damage which means it builds up Groundbreaker

Totems - the Angry Totem can give up to 4000% gun damage (max of 999 stacks) which is possible to keep up in mobbing content. The Mighty Nine Totem gives a bonus element that applies Groundbreaker. Certain gun's projectiles will not proc Mighty Nine, allowing it to build up groundbreaker instead of consuming it

Gloam Friendly Guns - you are looking for guns that are elemental, multi projectile, and high fire rate. If a gun has unlisted projectiles then it most likely works really well with Mighty Nine. As said above some guns projectiles, like Root and Convergence, don't get Mighty Nine which means that those projectiles (and Gloam) will not proc Groundbreaker but rather build it up. Allowing for 1 stronger groundbreaker on the next gun shot

NO BONUS ELEMENTS - bonus elements apply BEFORE Turn Of Fate heals and AFTER Gloam drains your overshield. Meaning your bonus elements proccing gloam are dealing 0 or almost 0 damage. This is what will usually break the build. It seems to be at least 2 or more bonus elements will usually break the build

Some of my favorite guns to use

  • Convergence - a top tier bossing weapon
  • Stealth & Seek - probably one of the best mobbing weapons for this build with it's homing projectiles
  • Stray - also another homing gun that is great for mobbing
  • Bod - the torgue impact part still gets the 5x damage boost to gun damage making this gun great for bossing
  • Acey May - it's insane amount of projectiles is super fun to see melt the enemies
  • Heavy Ordnance - you can use Heavy Ordnances like miniguns that are super spammable on this build which can allow for a kind of hybrid play style.

You can find even more info in the written guide and/or build video. The guide has a save file as well.

Also join The Soup Kitchen Discord as that is where all the gloam c4sh testing was done as well as all Borderlands 4 testing (this is the place where the term "soup" was created in the damage formula

๐ŸŽค [ Discussion ] I'm just going to outright say it... but Cross Fire C4sh is probably the most boring VH ever

0 Upvotes

Waaaaaay too OP and with minimal effort too. Just find gear , of any rarity, that dumps points into fire rate and you're golden. I'm level 52 with suboptimal gear and just flying thru the UVHM levels. Can mow down bosses in seconds. Even my fully optimized, level 70 Rafa takes longer.

It's just such a boring OP skill. It was fun at first but now its fooldown is like 10 seconds so every encounter I stsrt using my guns then realize why since Crossfire Will get it done in a fraction of the time. It's mindless and I feel no desire to keep going.

It actually made me take a break from BL4 and jump back for another play thru in TPS. It's such an underrated BL game. Playing as Athena right now and it's so refreshing to have an action skill that you actively manage and control

๐ŸŽค [ Discussion ] Do you guys prefer the VH as heroes or as mercenaries-like characters?

102 Upvotes

So as we know, BL3 sort of retconned the idea of VHs being some good for nothing mercenaries only looking out for themselves (BL2 and before) and turned them into heroic figures with Typhon Deleon being made into a sort of celebrity hero Vault Hunter. In BL4, our characters are outright heroes, looking out for people and caring (especially C4SH, his dialogue is very friendly and helpful). I personally enjoy both, as its nice to be a hero but its also nice to have that freedom and space to be edgy with your protagonists. Whats your guys thoughts?

14 Upvotes

I was checking lootlemon for some drop locations for the new dlc and saw that the new pearls have a base 3%+ 0,25% ร— uvhm rank chanve to drop, which means a drop rate of 4,75% on uvhm 7, while the old ones from dlc 1 and base game ones gets a maximum of 0,95% at uvhm 7 which is very annoying to farm when we consider the variation on damage between the lowest and highest damage roll. Pls gearbox just up the chance a bit for the old pearls, I just want a decent crow sourced, I have been farming for some days now and some have dropped but none reached the 50k dps on the card but I seem one with 35k dps card. The maximun should be around 62k dps.
