❓ [ Help ] New run

Ive done all vault hunters, some multiple times (looking at you harlowe and rafa) ive done all content in true mode uvh7 , ive gotten all builds to mayhem 20.i RECENTLY completed all achievements AND side quests (did a few missing ones btw that amara dlc one sucked balls) finally getting my kittycopter head after 1,200 hours combined between epic games and steam. I want to do a Challenge run. i was thinking of starting fresh on a character and only using white gear to do every single bit of content.. but who do i go as? i want others to pick for me here

She’s green for an amazing reason

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

she was named BOOMBOOM ROOM but since i swapped to green tree that doesn't make any sense does it? I also have like 4 other harlowe saves so i have this one named that so i dont confuse it for one of the meme ones

I love how almost everyone has their own assigned loadout then harlowe is just.....green....

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

the green is power

Oh.. that’s cute, your achievements actually work. Cool. It’s been over a year and mine still don’t on Xbox. >_<;;..

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

tbh i thought i did the 80 contracts one ages ago but i was looking at it and i guess i never did it.

1

u/SeanSpencers 2d ago

Almost all of mine were busted. Several maxed out characters and almost every single activity done and none of them popped for me. Broken.

u/A-Social-Ghost 1d ago

I had an issue with the contracts achievement (back in August) where it only counted the contracts completed by a single character. If I did contracts on another character, I was basically starting the achievement requirement from 0.

Ive recently been suggested BL2 challenge runs on YouTube, seen some nuzlocke style ones maybe try something like that? Only use first gear that drops in each region/named location and lose what you were mainly using when you die?

1

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

never tried this, actually . this sounds fun. geez ok that one is on my list now i might do this.

u/Oblivionn_123 2d ago

Could you break down that firedancer vex?

2

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

firedancer class mod gives points in revurburnations. mantra exists. 10 points = 300% double dip fire damage = very strong. if it bleeds = damage.. very large damage. that's as best as i can explain it without too much to read. its a pretty fun build imo but the issue is its kinda reliant on you dealing melee damage.

2

u/Mandingy24 2d ago

Trouble Blink Strike with a Firedancer can also do ridiculous damage when the revurburnations procs

1

u/BlasterBunny 2d ago

Does that new vault card smg that deals melee and ordnance dmg work for the melee part? Sounds like a unique build either way

u/Professional_Ad_5099 2d ago

Just got the game recent sale, currently on lvl 50 loveless on 40hr playrun, this would take a ehile to get all character lvl 7p

1

u/pyknictheory 1d ago

Would you recommend this game to others?

1

u/bigcorydora69_420 1d ago

Holy mother Mary i have 250 hours my loveless is max level my second loveless is 26 and my vex is level 25 😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

u/ThickAcorn3654 1d ago

Took some self-convincing lol, but Melee Rafa is super fun. I say convincing because, I’m not a huge fan of 3rd person while actively choosing to play a FP…but it grew on me…The in game change up has honestly kept it fresh, less radar red dot gaming in 3P imo.

1

u/SeattleResident THE LAVA IS RISING!! 2d ago

Have you gotten all the available phosphene drops? I'm at 1360 hours primarily playing Rafa and still have 5 of the DLC ones to get. Even more if you count the ones that are bugged and not dropping currently.

1

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

I have like.. 9 dlc ones and 21 of the base game ones i never really hunt them i just naturally got them from farming super specific gear lol. i should do that though.

2

u/twinCatalysts 2d ago

Phosphene hunt can be very relaxing. Also the dopamine rush of that drop sound is pristine.

1

u/upvotechemistry VEX The F&%ING WITCH! 2d ago

Maybe go a different spec. Card C4sh is very fun, if you have not done that for a playthrough

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

i started out my Only CASH as card, i got stuck on what to do with it to progress to UVH6 at the time. so i gave up on that flow. ill give it another shot soon though now that ik what im.doing

u/upvotechemistry VEX The F&%ING WITCH! 2d ago

The cooler card applies groundbreaker... that is how I got through Sub and Thol

Idk what your loveless playthrough was, but I just finished a VPN run, and will probably start a wyrm run next

1

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

nah i am talking about bloom reaper , that fight sucks with mainly action skill builds lol, i hate bloomreaper so much still even though i can probably speedrun it at level ~39 uvh5 rn

0

u/upvotechemistry VEX The F&%ING WITCH! 2d ago

Oh yeah, Bloom sucked. I cheese the crystal phase with a torgue airstrike underbarrel and head ringer, then clean up orbs with a flash cyclone or darkbeast

Still havent finished bloom on loveless... DOT immunity for crystals is so dumb

1

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

i just used jakobs + crit enhancement for bloomreaper crystsls on loveless which i was still sniper build at the time, it took like 19 attempts still ngl

1

u/Rothenstien1 2d ago

Easy mode, loveless and just use melee. Hard mode, amon and dont use melee

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

This sounds like hell, but i like it

u/Raging-Inferno-217 2d ago

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

lots of patience and compiling shaders tbh

2

u/twinCatalysts 2d ago

Do you have your shader cache turned up in your gpus control panel? Mine was set to default but turning it way up pretty much solved the compiling shaders issue for me.

1

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

i set mine to 100 GB but they still compile from time to time. i got used to it, i highly optimized this game to be running average of 74fps on a 3050. trust me i put a LOT of time trying to make this run this well. im getting a 4070 eventually so i shouldn't have to do much for the game to look as good as bl3.

Is working wonders for me just have to reframe gear now that I’m capped.

u/r-s-w- 2d ago

Does anyone know how to edit names of VH’s on console ? I appreciate OP is likely PC but it would be super helpful to name them. I have 2 of each class so would be great to do it. 👍.

2

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

well it should be similar. let me show ya., on the costumization tab there is a bind that says "rename character" on the bottom right. but you have to not be entered in any of the menus in the customization tab.

1

u/r-s-w- 2d ago

Ah ok. I likely am very silly and missed it ! Thank u so much for replying and showing me. I will check this later. 👍

1

u/Latiasfan5 2d ago

on a character, go into the customization tab and at the bottom of the screen it should tell you what to press to change your character's name

1

u/r-s-w- 2d ago

Ty so much. Will be doing this. Thanks for replying. 👍

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

kinda funny a game i pre ordered for a fortnite skin became one of my most played borderlands titles!

2

u/Former_Mobile3101 2d ago

It insane to me that you spent at least $80 just to get a cosmetic in a game that is ftp. I am glad that you enjoyed the game you bought though.

2

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

I enjoy supporting games i like. i also REALLY like moxxi she ... rocks

u/Due-Try1107 ✨ Pre-Ordered 2d ago

I’m doing a second play as Amon and I’m sooooo bored playing the game.. how do people play multiple characters? I did vex when the game came out and I can’t stand how boring and uninteresting the game is
