I'm still level 21, lagging behind my brother who is now around level 24 >.< I'm doing all the side quests and a lot of them are now below my level so it's slowing down my progress but I don't mind as I am enjoying the game :P

Level 28.

ALSO:

Guaranteed Purple Drop chest + Easter Egg
Alright guys, this is a compilation of info from the "Volcano Secret?" thread on the Spoilers section.
To gain access to the guaranteed purple drop chest, you have to:
-Go to Claptrap's Place
-Find the item in the fireplace
-Deliver the item to Geary, on the volcano in the Eridium Blight
*You cannot fast travel or die to get it to register
**Cars however ARE allowed
-Let Geary hit you once, and then he will jump off a cliff into the lava
*If he hits you more than once you failed at it and have to re-do it.
-Enjoy the 3 Rakk flying by overhead dropping loot chests, including the guaranteed purple drop chest!
If you're not seeing the reference, think Lord of The Rings and then maybe you'll understand.
Also, Geary can be farmed for purple rarity heads if you're into that stuff.
--Bonus--
Kunckledragger can be farmed for the Hornet since he's on the way
--Have Fun--
Many thanks to everyone who helped with finding all this out!
Happy Farming!
--Edit--
Thanks to thrasherv3 for reminding me, this has only been guaranteed to be accessible on PT2. There have been some cases of it working on PT1 (Post-warrior kill and multiplayer) but those have been iffy still.
Thanks to falconbox585 and friends for some further testing! This can be done as a group, however another player joining mid-trek nullifies the event, as the new person spawns from a New-U.

Farmable LoTR quest lol yes.

Got my first E-tech gun today, a caustic grenade launcher shotgun. I also got an orange rarity single shot assault rifle level 24 requirement 777 damage, fires as fast as I can pull the trigger, got a holographic style sight on it 25 round mag, I'll get a screenshot on saturday.

It's almost game-breaking how awesome the turret is. It has a short cooldown and I can use it to flank shield-carrrying baddies, tank bad-ass level mobs or just toss it into a room to clear it while I go loot boxes. I love my turret.

My advice for the day:
Do the whole clan war chain, at the end of it you will gain access to a farmable area with 0 mobs that nets you around 1-2k in cash, chance for items/eridium and a nice loot chest at the end, This area is in the holy spirits bar. Also if you get "boom time" on the slot machine in the same bar and an NPC is near damages (and sometimes even kills) them, I lol'd IRL when i seen it kill a NPC this morning.

The best gun I've found so far:

for some reason I can 1 shot the bunker with it at level 26
also has anyone else ever found a vehicle skin customisation ?

Alphasim · « **Reply #66 on:** September 28, 2012, 09:22:49 AM »

I have a bunch of vehicle skins. They're nice since I get bored with the rides' stock looks and usually grab a different skin each time I pick one up at Catch a Ride.

System32 · « **Reply #67 on:** September 28, 2012, 01:21:46 PM »

New e-tech. DHAL SMG.

Also found an allegience relic. Bandit one, improves damage with al bandit guns.

Sadly, Cooldown is better imo.

Tweedy · « **Reply #68 on:** September 28, 2012, 02:22:36 PM »

I'm farming the bunker on xbox so if anyone wants me to keep hold of some lvl 24-27 stuff that I find then just say and i'll keep whatever you want that I find and don't want then trade it to you.

Bought the game yesterday after trading in a load of things, decided to play as Zero, and I'm not really having too much trouble. Got past Boom Bewm rather dishonestly by dying, waiting at the ledge and killing Bewm with an explosive handgun, then ran up to Big Bertha and circled it, shooting more handgun shots, and then killed him with several more hangun shots and some grenades. Killed Flynt in the same dishonest way by eventually dying, then waiting outside of the boss area.

Just got to Sanctuary, and my current weapons are a Sublime Corinthian (Red Sniper Rifle with a bayonet, deals fire damage (the thing that finally replaced the sniper I got from the Premiere Club thing), and a Double Lovin' Pounder (Shotgun that deals 30x9 damage, two ammo per shot (four per mag) and does explosive damage...also it has a scope).

I also read the QR code on one of the folders, and it said
'NICK WILSON

HO OH'
(apparently Nick Wilson is an artist who worked on it).

To be honest, Zero isn't being too difficult at the moment, as long as I attempt to stay away and use my sniper, then melee/shotgun when they get close, it's fairly easy.

I am also currently using 13/12 slots, which was either a glitch, or something planned for people who don't clear their inventories before completing missions.

Tweedy · « **Reply #70 on:** September 30, 2012, 01:15:42 PM »

It's just a glitch, Zer0 is quite easy to go through the first playthrough with but when you reach the second you'll start having more trouble than characters with offensive abilities.

courthousedoc · « **Reply #71 on:** September 30, 2012, 01:27:00 PM »

I'm still level 7 (I've been too busy with The Sims 3 lately to get off my *** to play Borderlands 2
Oh and I'm using the Gunzerker.

ianh05 · « **Reply #72 on:** October 05, 2012, 08:33:44 AM »

Finished the game on normal mode about 1 hour ago, great stuff (level 35 now and completed every single mission) :) now onto true vault hunter mode.

Tweedy · « **Reply #73 on:** October 05, 2012, 10:31:08 AM »

Update on my progress: Finished playthrough 1 as Zer0 ( now level 46 without boosting )and am half way through True vault hunter with him, I now only use melee attacks because that's how i've built him.
I'm also about 1/3 through the first playthrough as axton.

Chaosmancer · « **Reply #74 on:** October 05, 2012, 10:48:00 AM »

I've had some fun with Deception and Execute. If used right, you can launch yourself after flying enemies (like Buzzards) and kill them with one melee (I have only managed it with the Buzzard a couple of times). It's also probably pretty old news, but it seems as though you can skip the end of the reload time if you melee just as the magazine (or whatever is used to store the ammo) is pushed into the slot (there is usually a little bit of animation after the ammo goes in, but it can be cancelled into a melee if done right (I wasted a lot of ammo testing to make sure I wasn't wrong)). Level 25 now, very nearly dinged to 26, and I already have a plan for how to spend skill points (i.e. minimalistically get to the bottom of one tree, then minimalistically get to the centre skill of another one)... oh yeah, and I need to remember to stop meleeing Hot Loaders; 'oh look, an enemy *Deception, Execution, explosion, down*'.

As it goes, am I the only one finding that I have more money than I know what to do with (i.e. too much money, spend it all in the slot machine in hopes of getting Eridium)?

ianh05 · « **Reply #75 on:** October 05, 2012, 11:13:39 AM »

I spend a lot on the slot machines lol, I've been eridium capped since like level 24 (got eridium jackpot like 3-4 times)... still haven't got 2 vault symbols or the bells yet -.-

not sure how many of you know this but you should follow these:

http://twitter.com/GearboxSoftware
http://twitter.com/DuvalMagic

They give out shift codes which you can enter into your game (once you sign-up for shift which is free) to get items such as golden keys. There's a new code coming soon which will get you one golden key (that you can only use once per account).

They have been giving a lot of these codes out, I think I've managed to get 6-8 golden keys already. The codes last about 3 hours each and can be redeemed on unlimited accounts so they never run out like other software codes.

Chaosmancer · « **Reply #77 on:** October 06, 2012, 04:04:26 PM »

Thanks for the link. Used my Golden Key from the start of the game at level 13 and got a rather awesome rocket launcher (and now I have one that is about 4x the strength of that one). Unfortunately, one of my side missions has glitched (i.e. one of the switches is red and there is no way to make it green, tried following the lines, tried shooting it with a random shock sniper, tried pushing the switch that summons all the enemies, killing all the enemies, then pulling the switch again, and it just doesn't work) which sucks because the reward was apparently a choice between two sniper rifles. Have looked for fixes, and apparently there are none, I suppose it is just a case of better luck next playthrough.

Current loadout is a sniper rifle that has 1422 damage, a shotgun that does 359x15, a rocket launcher that does 12352, and a pistol that does 766x2 and fires insanely fast. I have also made it to level 31 finally, although I am second guessing which tree to go to the middle of now. Which would you reccomend I go for; Death Mark, or B0re? Death Mark was my original choice, but B0re is looking quite tempting for some reason.

ianh05 · « **Reply #78 on:** October 06, 2012, 04:53:56 PM »

No problem, as mentioned keep checking back with those pages as they give out codes often (I have gotten 9 so far) sometimes 3+ times a day and most days too.

Here's a link to my current gear/spec/badass rank/cash:

B0re seems more useful later on in the game when loaders appear often and in playthrough 2 (True Vault Hunter mode) some enemies who had shields/health have armour instead. Death mark seems like a good co-op skill as you can get more out of it in groups.

My interest in the mechromancer just went up, apparently she's voiced by:

Yup!
