Borderlands 2 Catch-All

Hey guys/gals I was wondering if there were any new/ or anyone in the lower levels that would like to run around some in BL2. I don't have any high level characters and am now leveling with the mechromancer. I am in the steam group but I am not sure how to get an event going/posted or how to get a hold of GWJ people that would be interested. Let me know if there is a better way of roping some strangers together for some BL2 fun. I have played some co-op but would really like to see the mess of a 4 person game.

This page will let you make an announcement to the GWJ Borderlands group, though I think most people are just coordinating through this thread. If you're just a member of the main GWJ group (and not the Borderlands sub-group), post a link to your profile and we'll send you an invite. You can also go through this thread and send friend requests to people who've posted in it, then send them a message or invite through Steam when you're trying to get a game going.

Here is the link to my Steam ID I would appreciate the invite. Thanks in advance.

Invite sent.

It's apparently "Luck of the Zafords Weekend" (March 14th to March 17th):

Celebrate the Luck of the Zafords in Borderlands 2 this weekend with special in-game events and gear!

Each year, around this time, the Zaford clan take a break from their war with the Hodunk bandit family to celebrate their good fortune and honor those that have passed on, such as that time Scooter buried their son alive in a shallow grave.

During this time, those who play Borderlands 2 while connected to the internet will see a temporary increase in the drop rates and rarity of shields! Plus, Absorb shields will have a better chance to absorb enemy bullets and Booster shields will have a higher chance of dropping a shield Booster when damaged.

In addition, the Zafords have prepared special gifts! To receive your celebratory Zaford gear, including special green skins for each character and a Chulainn SMG that will be the the same level as (and appear in the backpack of) the first character you load, enter the SHiFT codes below into Borderlands 2:

PC / Mac Zaford Gear SHiFT Code: KTCBJ-C9RTC-BSFTJ-33TT3-FBWHF
Xbox 360 Zaford Gear SHiFT Code: KJCJ3-RCWC6-5K9BF-WFBT3-3WFKK
PlayStation 3 Zaford Gear SHiFT Code: CTK3B-99K3J-XXKW3-ZTWTJ-HJH5J

Better act fast, though! The above codes and bonuses will only be active from Thursday, March 14 at 12:00PM CT through Sunday, March 17 at 11:55PM CT

EDIT: Alright fine, enough beating around the bush:
EDIT2: Updated the trailer.

The Chulainn SMG is pretty slick.

Spoiler:

Shock plus slag on hit, quite powerful. Not sure yet if the always-being-slagged-yourself bit is going to be worth it though.

The one I got was sh*t. Low DPS for a level 50 SMG and the always slagged thing was annoying.

QUICK!

Stuck at level 46, have the guy who can throw out 2 turrets.

Beaten the game once already and don't feel like going through a 2nd time.

Just beaten Torque's Badassatude DLC.

What's the next DLC I should get that should both level me up and has mad looooootz? (OH and is FUN)

PS: no crazy gold weapons for single player? What's the best weapon I can get then? Heard the "bee" was good, how do i get it?

thanks in advance
/evilly yours,
ESA

I can finally put this game on my shelf... at least until the next DLC comes out. 59 of 59 Achievements.

Found an interesting spot for power leveling. I am not the first to have discovered it of course but you can see the spawn points for the infinitely spawning Rakk in The Vault of the Warrior area. I spent like 6 hours leveling Zero up to 31 so I could get the Unseen Predat0r achievement but then I found this spot and was able to power level the Gunzerker to 26 in about 2 hours. Anyway Youtube video (not mine) for those interested:

Just a few missions in on Vault Hunter Mode.

Anyone know the FASTEST path to the quest chain that gets me to the "BEE"?

Thanks in advance.

Fastest way is just to tear through the story missions until you get to the Boneyard. You could ask a higher level character to come along and clear them out quicker. The content will probably out-level you some, however, so a little grinding or side-questing would be necessary.

Alternatively you could ask if anyone has a spare they can give you or dupe for you, level permitting (I only have a level 26 and 50s myself).

They haven't really went anywhere, we've just stopped posting them in this thread as regularly. Last weekend they had codes for green skins in honor of St. Patrick's day.

Missed it as well, keep those codes posted... We still love it

Late to the party, but recently picked up BL2 to start playing with a buddy (we're only just now finishing up BL1 on his first ever playthrough).

I've poked at it enough to get most of the classes to lv 7 or so, and am looking forward to playing through.

Especially appreciate the SHIFT code being posted. Major kudos for that.

But, but, but... I did post them. I guess it's your own faults then ;).

Oh oops... yeah... luck of the whatever, on this page even..

Damn me for not checking "recent posts" closer.

It is March though. Anything not basketball related gets a passing glance from me right now. I only noticed today's codes because I was on twitter talking #MarchMadness.

I always have this tab open in firefox:
http://uk.ign.com/wikis/borderlands-2/SHiFT_Codes_and_Golden_Keys

and refresh it every day if I remember. Not that I'm...compulsive or uh...you know.

It's always up to date. Also, someone posted it above somewhere...skimmerdude.

I think most of them also get posted to the Gearbox Software and/or Randy Pitchford feeds on Twitter for an alternate, more passive way to know when one is active.

PAX East Golden Keys:

PC/Mac: W3WJ3-3JXTT-6RW5T-SB53B-XJBX9
360: K3KJT-6HRT5-BHRTT-3BBTJ-RBWJ9
PS3: 5JKBJ-H5WCF-KWST6-K6BJB-FZ9BJ

So, it looks like the level cap increase is part of the season pass (which would be the 4th, and last(?) of the season pass), and the new character is not? :/

Gaige isn't part of the season pass either. She was free only if you pre-ordered the game.

Yeah Gaige made sense as a pre-order bonus. But the Season Pass is supposed to include "all future DLC". If he's not included I'm certainly not buying him. Already spent a bit more than I planned on this game buying the season pass.

I think the Season Pass wasn't "all future DLC" but was "all four planned DLC expansions"

Did they actually say "all future DLC"? Because they certainly didn't put those 99 cent skins in the Season Pass.

Hm... guess I wasn't paying close enough attention then... oh well... not spending any more money on the game. I'll play with whatever they give me.

Nope, it was announced that the last DLC will show up at the end of June. Video!

Also, a shoddy teaser Krieg:

And Demo play (Better video):

Yeah, he looks like crazy fun to play :drool:.
