For whatever reason, my aim gets a lot better when I slow my breathing down irl. Like I shoot a Psycho, I reload for the next bullet and while that animation is playing I, IRL, take a breath, hold it while I’m aiming and breath out once I pulled the trigger.
I think it helps me cuz it forces me to actually slow down and aim, like properly slow down and aim. I only do it for snipers tho…
Edit: anyone else have their own version of this?
I've been using WillowTree to mess with my current Borderlands 1 playthrough and was wondering if anybody knows how to make a very specific setup. Essentially, I want the 2.5 setup active with my level 64 hunter to experience so all the enemies are in the same level range instead of being around 32.. Right now I can get playthrough 2 active, but all of the characters are below my level and are around 32. If I could get them up to the 64-66 range to make the experience more balanced, I'd be so happy.
So I’m new to Borderlands and I’m just trying to figure out why people hate Claptrap. Do you guys know?
So back in 2013-2014 when I was a kid, I played through the entirety of borderlands 1. But to this day I cannot find any video or info on this glitch. When you would drive your car off the map in Knox armory (when you’re already out of bounds) you would fall for what felt like an eternity then eventually die. But I could’ve sworn there was more to it than that. I vaguely remember falling off like that then switching places with the other person in the car. Then upon respawning you and that person would’ve been granted a form of soft clipping that allowed one to walk through doors and parts of the map you once weren’t able through normally. If anyone has any idea what I’m talking about please help. Has this been patched? Have I forgotten the steps or something in the past 10 years because I’ve had no luck trying to recreate this on GOTY or the old 360 port
Just bought bl2 on PC after years of playing it on console and the edges of my screen are black and I have no idea which settings to adjust to fix it.
I need help please. My game glitched with it checking of the steal loot but not the timer starting so now i can’t access the bomb because of the blast doors. I need to join someone’s game during their quest in the armory. Since then i haven’t been able to get achievements for the other dlcs so im hoping this fixes it.
edit: i forgot to mention this is for the borderlands goty edition on xbox one
my dad played he xbox360 edition of borderlands 2 and i remember that on the dual weilder class he had, there was a full purple infinite ammo pistol or smg, was this a hacked gun or a legit thing? im having trouble remembering the character but i know that he had finished the game and was a REALLY high level.
Title.
I'm opposed to the very idea of him being a Vault Hunter for various reasons, but nevertheless I am curious what the "hivemind" thinks about him maybe potentially being one anyways.
I'm not terrible at math and can back into it with testing, but I figured it's been done already and is documented somewhere since a Gear calc app was made years ago.
Does anyone have the base stats of each gun type, and how level affects damage scaling?
So i got a 3070 with a 10700k cpu. For whatever reason, in the open areas the fps horribly drops. Sometimes even to 10-15fps. Is there a setting that i should turn off? I have evrything maxed out. And i checked, the gpu was running at like 80%. Wich makes no sence for this game. I'm playing at 1440 resolution
Jw if this is normal for her. I haven’t played TPS in a while so I forget how my other characters started but as the baroness I was still using my starting weapons till almost level 10. Finally found a little bit better pistol around level 8 and I think it was level 10 when I finally got rid of my starting sniper. I also started out with 30k usually start out with $0 right? Is it just kinda part of the joke of how rich she is that she starts out with op weapons she’d already bought? Been having fun with her, I feel like a cheater of a sniper that freezes my targets so I don’t have to try hard to get good shots. 🤣
I’m on pc and I get the message “required all active players to be connected to gearbox software shift “ but I’ve made an account , linked it with my steam . Let it pass my firewall restarted my router but it still doesn’t work
Just got a ps4 and a psn sub for my birthday this year. Grabbed handsome collection but there's not very many people online these days. (I know TPS is 1 of the least played) Anyone want to setup some co op? I'm in Canada EST.
Hi! I need help with getting the “Vincible” achievement on PC. Right now, I’m a level 62 Berserker, so could use help from folks higher level.
Steam username is the same as here.
Hello guys, I just started playing Borderlands after doing the platinum on BL2 and Pre-Sequel, im doing the BL1 but I need some help to do the trophy : "And They'll Tell Two Friends" if some guys can help me it would be great. BTW : some websites tell to play with someone would already have the trophy to get it, but on PlayStation it says that I have to play with 2 guys who are in my friend list. So I don't know what to do with this one. Please Help :) My PSN : No_Try_Aich Thx guys.
Like if they had 1-2 more. Either main game or DLC. Regular enemies or concepts?
For me, I always wanted a skagzilla invincible.
Should I know anything besides ain't no rest for the wicked is a big no no.
Remove the waypoint distance from the screen? Theres already a minimap on top right I dont see the point of it...
I cant see a setting to disable it.
TY
After you shoot off their head and they become enraged, what happens to them after they kill everyone and there’s nothing else to do? Do they revert back to how they use to be or do they stay in that enraged state until they die of natural causes or is killed? I was watching a speedrun of BL3 and the Warden is a Goliath so I got the wondering.
Looking for someone max level who wants to farm Crawmerax together, when I was younger the grind for good pearls wasn’t nearly this tedious. There always used to be people playing and a duo to a group always helps a lot, feeling super discouraged after getting a tsunami with a 2.0 fire rate and a terrible pearl shield that my purple is better than all around.
I saw a post on the official Borderlands IG that Red Door Escape Room had an official Borderlands themed escape room that just opened in Las Vegas. I was heading to LV with my wife and kids and we all love escape rooms and they all know how much I love Borderlands so it was an easy choice to sign up and book a slot.
I won’t give any spoilers, but I will say it was a lot of fun and they kept the BL feel while also keeping it family friendly, or as family friendly as you can with a BL themed escape room.
They rate it a 6/10 difficulty and that tracked, we beat it without any clues and all of us had a blast. We are a pretty seasoned escape room family.
If you like escape rooms and get a chance you should 100% check it out.
Ok this might be a really wierd question but how was crazy earl able to eat a car? With a fork? For years i have been thinking about it but im so confused on like how he managed to eat it
Before we get started. I'm not a fan or lore reader of borderlands franchise . If I made a mistake . It's my fault and apologies for that . ( My grammar sucks too)
Borderlands 2 I bought it on sale . And don't care about the story at the first time . Everyone told me it's comedy but when I met Angel and know she is Jack's daughter.
It's painful to kill her. I don't know why Jack being mad . Because I gonna kill his daughter or he gonna lost everything. Then I shocked when jack kill Roland. We just talk and suddenly he dies. After that I read borderlands lore to understand more . Not all and not clear enough because I'm lazy but I like how cooperate can do everything they want . When crazy stuff happened I don't curious and play along because this is Galaxy.
Gameplay I played zero as main character. I like every gun have their own unique characteristic to encounter every enemy. It's not only run and gun . I have to be quick before Exp loader exploded me . On the other hand I have to leave Goliath and dealt with other, headshot needed to be stop because I don't want to make my enemy stronger . And elemental damage. Yeah I love it
But there's something I don't like about borderlands 2 1 Dahl's weapon . I don't like burst fire because it's too hard . That's all . I know it's nonsense 2 Movement . It's felt clunky and hard to do a fast paced movement or climb over obstacles.
That's all.
Borderlands 3
What I like
Gameplay is faster . I can slide,climb, sell weapon by thier grades Dahl's weapon is fun to use Some weapon have 2 modes that's mean double tactics and fun
What I hate Eridium is useless. In borderlands 2 every time I got Eridium I have to think what worth to purchase because it's hard to find. But in borderlands 3 upgrade a slot is not challenged it just rip my wallet off. Story....I like how COV use social media for propaganda. But I don't think Tyreen and Troy are siblings. They just flexing around and do nothing .
Thanks for reading. Feel free for criticize and tell me what I'm missed
Does anyone know if the loot room continues to scale as you level up? I’m on my second playthrough with Lilith and I want a reliable source of legendaries that I can keep coming back to when mine under level. Thank you!
I am excited for BL4, I'm hoping for something like the beastmaster again this game, but I want to know what you want
I'm trying to get a clear answer on what's possible and google/reddit searching is proving inconclusive. I have a PS4 with all the Borderlands games except Tiny Tina Wonderland.
Borderlands 1 GOTY and 3 do not seem to have a LAN option, only local play with a disabled wifi icon.
The handsome jack collection with The PreSequel and Borderlands 2 clearly has a LAN option in addition to local play.
I don't have another PS4 or PS5 yet, but before I sink the money into consoles and game copies, I wanted to know if the PS4 versions of 1 and 3 have LAN. And also if they any of these have LAN crossplay.
I had all the Borderlands on xbox360 back in the day and they had LAN.
I am playing BL2 on Switch and generally activate the weekly SHiFT codes to get more golden keys. I currently have 137 of them. However, when I redeem the codes and get a message that the code has been successfully redeemed, the number of keys doesn't actually increase over 137. This is true regardless of whether I enter the code on the SHiFT website or in the actual game on the console.
I do get the message under the SHiFT menu in the game that keys have been added, but when I approach the chest in Sanctuary it just keeps showing 137. That seems like a pretty odd number for an upper limit though. Has anyone managed to get more golden keys than that?
Is there anyone who still plays bl3? I play on Nintendo Switch and I really could use some help but can't find any and having trouble with joining a game or when I send an invite no one comes. I could use a friend to help me with some hard parts please!!!! My friend code is 132652078030
I'm making a Borderlands tabletop game, just for fun. All weapon manufacturers have gimmicks, just like in the games, but I can't decide how best to do Dahl. There's no recoil mechanic or anything, so that's no good. What I currently have on my document is that when shooting, you can roll once for all of your shots rather than individually per shot, to try to be like burst-firing or full auto, but that feels kinda lame. I'm not too worried about how actually playable it would be, as it almost certainly won't actually see any play unless I were to code a little program to go along side it, as there are lots of calculations that would take a ton of time in actual play, but it's just fun for me to design this and I'd like to actually be happy about it.
