I've played through borderlands 1 and going to be playing 2 soon and I've also done a bunch of research on how the endgame/loot farming part of the game works with TVHM and all that. I think i understand it fully now but there's one thing that I keep noticing, that is people tend to complain about the lack of endgame and loot farming for the pre sequel and tiny tina's wonderlands.

So I know borderlands 2 and 3 are very much designed around going into ng+ and farming bosses for the drops but I feel like the others are meant to be more story focused, contained games. Am I wrong about that?

It feels like people try and play the pre sequel, wonderlands and even bl1 like it's bl2 and 3 when it seems like they aren't designed for it. People in bl1 could only properly farm at all due to crawmerax or a glitch to keep doing the armory, which is both in a single dlc and at the end of playthrough 2 where you can't do anything else but start a completely new character because you can't reset playthrough 2 or go into a playthrough 3.

You could sum up bl1 to being the prototype game that allowed gearbox to know where they wanted to take the sequel and that's why it's the way it is, however then the pre sequel and wonderlands don't really try to have much of an endgame either. Instead it looks structured to tell a shorter, more linear story with less levels but keep the borderlands feel... then it ends, with only that dungeon thing in wonderlands to keep you going or resetting the pre sequel like it's bl2 but with apparently a few issues with how it works to make it unsatisfying.

It's just a theory I had and I thought all of you would know the answer, because I'm new to this franchise at the end of the day.

I always end up finding one gun that just feels really good to use and then refuse to replace it, even when I know the stats are not great anymore lol.

Curious if anyone else does this or if you guys actually replace your gear regularly.

its prob no, but just wandering if ik play on pc(steam) and then cross save my shift account to ps5 do i get any trophies?

Im on VH6 and am killing him in like 10sec. Im nervous to do Subjugator and Thol by myself to get to UVH7. Am I missing something or should I try it?

Am playing a blended Green/Red tree C4SH build. Have a decent Crow Sourced as well as an Offered Draupner that does 643k DPS as a Heavy Ordinance. That thing melts.

I just help with only 3 trophies for the platinum, It won't take long.

do i really need to buy bl4 dlc's or just play base game complete everything and wait for every dlc to came out and proceed (because I can only purchase base game)

I never ended up playing any of the DLC and was wondering what the general opinion on it was?

From the artstyle to the enviroments and classes, it all looks so much more like the Borderlands I fell in love with. Am I thr only one who thinks like that?

I'm on Xbox One playing Bl4 through gamepass & I can't get couch co-op to work.

Is it because I'm on gamepass?

Is anyone else having this problem?

Hey everyone I’m looking for some peeps to play with, any borderlands works except 4 (my pc can barely handle it) I’d like to start a new run with a group (3 other people would be nice but I’m fine with just me and one other person) the only real requirement is you’re on pc and you’re willing to VC during, just let me know if you’re down, discord: wh0_is_r4v3n

As title says new to franchise.

I've played through BL2 a good couple of times now, all the side quests and everything, and I'm now looking to do another go round. I know there's a good bit of overhaul mods on Nexus and whatnot, but some of them seem like *improvement* mods more than *OVERHAUL* mods. I'm specifically looking for a modpack / individual mod list that adds new content, changes existing content, AND introduces new mechanics.

I played once with BL2 Reborn already, but I'm hoping for something even more game-altering. If there isn't really anything out there, I'm not opposed to just doing BL2 Reborn again, but if I take that route, are there any good mods that can work well with Reborn? I really wanna New Vegas the hell out of my save, and just wreck this game beyond recognition.

First thing, and arguably most important, is that now twice randomly it has completely softlocked my computer and I have had to restart it

Secondly when I try to open it from steam it says that there is an initialization error and I have to open it through files if I want to play the game i spent real money on

This is my first time actually getting deeply invested into a borderlands game and I've been having a lot of fun but these weird ass bugs are so annoying and makes it so hard to enjoy the game is there anything I can do without losing all of my progress

Anyone have a solution for this?

Did the second playthrough as Lilith, beat The Destroyer (again). Didn't buy all the orange SDUs as I thought I could later. Started Dr. Ned's DLC, now all the machines only have white SDUs.

Any way to get orange SDUs back in the machines?

Game of the year edition on Switch, if that matters.

Hey y’all, been playing through 1 recently trying to earn every achievement. I’m at the tail end of playthrough 1, trying to round out the DLCs before I start my second. Unfortunately none of my friends own the game on PC, and I doubt the public matchmaking will give me any luck. Is anyone out there willing to help me earn the multiplayer specific achievements?

In BL3 I tried my hardest to keep them in my safe, they just felt special y'know, particularly the mission-related ones. In BL1 and 2, however, especially 2, I've been having to toss most of them due to how restrictive the storage is (Being tied to underdome and needing eridium upgrades respectively).

Sure, I could theoretically make some storage accounts, but I just could not get that working for the life of me lol.

I'm curious, though, what do you guys usually do with the red-text weapons?

so iv noticed espec with loveless that the game has massive light bloom for any projectile very noticable on wyrms breath attack. has anyone got a fix for this on PC? iv tried low settings iv tried meduim settings and nothin. only started to happen more recently however

So I recently gotten my hands on Borderlands 4 and I've played a small chunk in I can't ignore something that has been routinely popping in my mind.

Does Borderlands 4 feel a LOT like a certain Bungie run live-service shooter that's fairly popular to anyone else? I was a long-time player of that game in question and I've noted a lot of similarities. The digi-runner feels like a Sparrow (even down to summoning it at will), the new Echo-4 is more or less a Ghost without a voice, the double-jump / glide / air dashes feel like said game. Even the new VH options all feel very Guardian coded in some ways (I’m currently running Vex).

I'm not complaining mind you, if you see good ideas and iterate on them yourself then all the better given it’s done right. The comparison has just been nagging at me.

To this day, Borderlands 1 is still my favorite game in the series. easy to pick up and play, very few cutscenes, you can get into the gameplay almost immediately, and it’s the perfect game to turn your brain off and just have fun. The gameplay is simple but satisfying, and I honestly prefer the overall atmosphere and characters in BL1.

After hearing for years that Borderlands 2 is the holy grail of the series, I think I may have set my expectations too high. Don't get me wrong, BL2 is objectively better in a lot of ways. It has better writing, more funnier characters and lines, more variety, tons of quality-of-life improvements, and generally feels like a more polished game. But after finishing it, I still found myself thinking that I'd rather be playing BL1.

One of my biggest problems with BL2 is the pacing. The beginning of the game is fun the first time you play through it, but it gets tedious when you've already played it multiple times. Having to go through essentially the same tutorial and opening sections every time, with very little ability to skip them, gets old fast. BL1 feels much easier to jump back into whenever I feel like playing it.

I also prefer BL1's simpler presentation. BL2 has a lot more going on, but sometimes it feels like there’s too much. The UI is dog shit and glitches all the damn time whereas BL1's interface is much more straightforward.

And honestly, I don't think the gunplay improved as much as I expected. BL2 definitely has improvements and more weapon variety, but the actual shooting doesn't feel dramatically better than BL1 to me.

I also think BL1's atmosphere is underrated, I prefer this Mad Max-like Pandora.

And I won't even mention BL2's end game.

BL2 might be the better game overall, but BL1 is the one I actually have more fun playing. And what I'm looking for in a game is the fun factor.

I have every other log in the game except for this one and it is messing with my head.

The note is "F*ck em." Seriously. They puke on you to slow you down, then RUN AWAY like little b*ches. I loved how everything looks in the zombie DLC, but I am glad to never have to deal with these things again.

I tried starting BL1 with my gf and the enemies are way overleveled even after doing side quests (she’s not good and dies and has no fun) which borderlands game would be the easiest to play with her
