Borderlands 2 Catch-All

Eh, Eldon and other folks deserve the lion's share of the thanks, I've only posted a few so far. I'll try to keep it up, however, for when they might be too busy to post!

OMG! What a day! What a haul!

Not only did I get 6 Golden Keys so far, I've also managed to farm these:

The Cradle (actually 2 Cradle Shields)
Various heads offa Henry (Dapper Gent for my Axton)
Liquid Pitchfork
Legendary Soldier Class Mod (my third!)
Logan's Gun
Thunderball Fist
miscellaneous plain but powerful purples (Vladof rifle with 12.3 RoF!)
and the infamous Conference Call!!!

Man, after a long dry week, this is like Christmas!

Wahoo!

Wow! Congratz! How in the world are you hanging on to all of those? Or are you still using that inventory 'glitch?'

Double posting in glee!

Still using the bank glitch. I think I have over a hundred guns in there now. God knows when I'll find the time to use them all. You're free to access them at your leisure!

I'm not reliant on inventory glitching anymore. Too hassle. These days, I just use overfilling to "charge" the backpack so I can unload into the bank. The glitch won't work unless your backpack is overfull. Then I sell off the trash items to free space in the pack.

As of last tally, I have these snipers in my bank:

Of course, these are only the Jakobs purple snipers. I'm not listing them all! It'd take the entire page and more. I have more Vladof and Dahl sniper rifles, since I prefer those in general, though I keep at least one of these babies in the pack for single shot work. Of course, now I'm using Tumtum Buffalo.

Any of you fine GWJers are welcome to my armory (especially the pistols). I just need one Jakobs for my own use. Of course, as I've told you, Rezzy, part of the fun is in the loot hunt. There's something special about finding and using a gun you hunted "in the wild" so to speak. That's why I don't dupe.

Got my last two in just now. 10 Keys FTW.

Connection Failed.

Seems like the Shift Code server is getting overloaded.

EDIT: Tried again a half hour later, still no luck. Rebooted cable modem and router and it worked. Guess it could have been my end, but the game itself was still working and game server connected. Odd.

While I appreciate the codes, don't they seem way too long? Each is 25 characters, which is a lot to type in on a console. Meanwhile, I just put $50 on PSN, and I imputed a 12 digit code. Is there more security for Golden Keys then PSN? Wait ... Don't answer that.

Copy and paste for PC.

Surprise Extra Codes!!!

Just make sure you don't copy an extra space before/after the first/last letters of the code. Sometimes I have the extra space between the : and first letter, or just a blank at the end of the line, and it won't work. But trimming the copy/paste down has worked every time.

I will say that I like the limited time windows rather then the limited amount of codes.

Well once again I finished the Warrior quest and saw no orange drop.

Tried leaving and running back down into the zone, but apparently I was too slow, as everything, including the Warrior respawned.

He was a lot harder that 2nd time because the Jack copies never ever stopped respawning. So annoying.

Another bonus round:

I finally finished my first play through with Maya (my first character). Seriously don't see how some of you rush through these games so fast Of course I am the "Mr. I Wonder If There Is Anything Over Here" type who explores like crazy and is nearly OCD about opening every chest and pile I see.

The arctic explorer achievement is stupid... just stupid. I just went through to every location using the maps in the strategy guide. No achievement.

had a total of 7 keys saved up, spent 4 of them and 4 of the items were useless class mods. boo. on the plus side got a decent combat rifle, shotgun & pistol and TVHM is actually manageable now instead of constantly dying to what would have been in PT1 total trash mobs. Badass nomads with a shield and some rocket/grenade rifle can still f*ck right the hell off though.

I also could not find an orange drop from the Warrior. I left and ran back to the zone, but when I tried to enter I received my first game freeze for BL2 on the 360. Bummer.

Did you get that small camp behind the docks in Three Horns - Valley? You need to do a bit of platforming over some rocks where the entrance to the dock town is to access it. There is also the small hut behind one of the steam pumps down below the Steamworks that folks miss as well.

Yeah, TVHM can be quite challenging until you start to let go of your favorite items for better ones. Once you learn that a level 36 white item is better than your level 27 legendary item, it makes for a much more manageable experience. I was quite lucky yesterday with my keys, but I was redeeming both the facebook and twitter codes over the weekend, so I had over 20 in my stash. One key netted me not 1 but 2 e-tech weapons, one of which is a bad-ass shock shotgun that lobs out orbs of electricity that bounce around if they don't hit their target right away. Niiiice.

nel e nel: That isn't a named area, so I'm not sure why it would count. At any rate, there aren't any areas on my map that haven't been discovered. Here's my guess as to what happened. Everyone in your team has to pop each area and it has to be during the same session. So, I'm going to go through and do each area by myself to see if that works.

Edit: Waddya know, that was it. I'm rather pissed about the wording of the achievement because it says "named locations". It seems that in reality, you just need to uncover every tiny piece of fog on the maps. That should help me doing the other ones. Thanks!

Is anyone else experiencing lock ups on 360?

I've downloaded the DLC and entered some Shift codes...and now, Borderlands is locking up all the time. Sometimes I can't even get into the game, it will lock up after checking online content.

I finally got the world traveler achievement! It wasn't popping and I did a bit of googling to find out where a common missed area was. In Southern Shelf - Bay, there is an area that is commonly missed. That was all I needed. Only 4 achievements left!

Glad to help, and yes, it's a bit misleading on the description. Some of those spots have names, but not all of them, especially in the Southern Shelf areas, and they aren't all areas that a mission would take you too either. The area where Midgemong is is about 3x as big as the Bandit camp, and you there isn't anything there except Rakk and Bullymongs.

Other manufacturers make guns for little girls. Real men play with Dahls.

whatevs. Burst fire while zoomed is for wusses that couldn't noscope drop their target with the first shot. ;P

It's a pun.

I actually got that one without even trying. The blight explorer achievement eludes me though. I've run through those areas a bunch of times and I can't find what I'm missing.
