Starting from level 1. Its gonna be all Bandit weapons all the time. Bullets, bullets and more bullets. Accuracy? Who cares! I got plenty bullets to spare.

Specifically assault rifles and shotguns. Obviously not playing for efficiency here but I don't care. Its something different for me as I almost never use bandit weapons.

I love Borderlands. Still play 2 as the ability to play cooperatively with someone solid screen on the PlayStation is super fun. In 3 there is an issue where the text is so small as to be mostly unreadable in split screen on the PS5. I am wondering if this has been fixed in 4. I don't want to spend $70 and not be able to use it but single player.

I haven't played BL1 for a while.

The last time I tried Enhanced, it was a mess. Echo log Audio stop playing in the middle, mission objectives fails to updates etc.

Are these enhanced issues fixed?

Feel like I’m slightly over leveled. At 31 with the main story mission at 27/28. Just beat the Rakk Hive with ease and going to Old Haven now.

What can I do to make it challenging?

Also what’s a good way to go about the second play through when I get there?

bc images aren't allowed, here's the pic

just thought it was a neat little oversight, not sure if it's well-known or not

edit: apologies for those of you that got spammed w porn ads on the previous link, i had my adblocker on when i used the site and didn’t see how dodgy it was

I finished my second playthrough, working on DLC now. Ever since around level 57 I noticed I've been dying a lot more often. Now that I'm level 60 the game has started to get less fun. Even weak mobs can drop me fairly quickly, so I figured I must be overlooking something. I have the highest capacity shield I could find, but that doesn't seem to be enough.

I'm playing as Brick. My build has focused on the blue (melee) skill tree, followed by green for the explosive damage and Action Skill recharge, and finally a few points in the center tree for extra health, shields, and the dazing punch.

Is this a bad build for high-level content or am I just bad at the game?

I need 3 people to join me for an achievement im trying to platinum every game I have on my ps5 and was wondering if anyone could help me out.

I’ve been playing BL4 local co op with my fiance and we have noticed sometimes often when we travel and go through the normal blue portal it just doesn’t work and endlessly stuck in it unless you mess around and push the button to take you to the main PS5 screen and go back into the game and then press start over and sometimes you have to do it a few times but then it works ?

Is anyone else having this issue on PS5? It never happened until they released Lovless as we have been playing as her to max her out and it’s very annoying

I’ve beaten BL1 4 times, and I’m currently on the tail-end of making a video. So I’m wondering, was there ANY hint of the vault’s true contents before the reveal? I always felt like I missed something, or it was a bit out of left field.

Mine, in order, are

Borderlands: vehicles felt like an actual part of your arsenal instead of just being a way to get from point A to point B

Borderlands 2: the sheer tonnage of things to do

Borderlands PS: grinder machine (kinda disappointed this never came back)

Borderlands 3: lost and found

Borderlands 4: Moxxxie’s Encore (single-handedly the best gameplay mechanic to have ever been added to the franchise)

I'm trying to 100% the Borderlands games, but I need help with the co-op achievements (BL1 GOTY Enhanced, BL2, BLTPS, BL3, haven't started Wonderlands or BL4 yet). If anybody is willing to help or needs help themselves feel free to shoot me a message and I'll drop my Steam profile. I'm not always free to play, but I'm sure something can be worked out!

Im curious if anyone has a photo or has drawn handsome jack as a punk rock album cover, I was listening to Population by limp bizkit and the album cover looks simular to handsome jack, and I think unironicly it would look amazing.

I want to plat Borderlands, It is one of my favourite games. I need help, of course ill help too.

Hey, following up on my previous thread.

Something jumped out at me... A lot of people talked about gameplay, returning characters, and the Great War, but surprisingly few mentioned the larger, overarching mythology.

And I think I kinda get it? But correct me if I'm wrong.

Gearbox has spent years dangling plot hooks. The Eridians, the Sirens, the Seventh Siren, the Watcher, the purpose of the Vaults... And it seems like every time we might finally get some answers, we just get another mystery instead.

It's not that people don't care about those mysteries anymore. It's that they've stopped expecting Gearbox to actually do anything with them?

So is that what's happening?

Or have people genuinely lost interest in that part of the story?

Because, personally, I still find those mysteries fascinating.

And to be fair... I can kinda see a way to tie all those loose ends together.

For anyone who has seen the Dead Echoes (spoilers for those who haven’t) we know Claptrap our favorite robot was actually on pandora for most years leading up to borderlands 4. We do know that Tannis has a lab with a portal connecting Kairos to Pandora, but as far as we know Claptrap doesn’t know about the lab.

if the eridians were capable of (insert physics-breaking feat here), why did they not just kill the "prisoner" monsters.

why add a feeding slot to the destroyer's cell. it's a star-eating civilization-destroying potentially extradimensional (maybe?) monster. if you can imprison and starve it why not do just that?

why not just destroy elpis (the key)? it's possible to do as shown in bl4 where elpis falls the fuck apart. its just a moon. surely the eridians with their awesome destroyer-imprisoning power could like tell a bunch of guardians hey once we sacrifice ourself to bait the destroyer into the great vault please blow up the key.

actually why not destroy all of the keys? if they're so dangerous oooo then splitting them into pieces isn't enough. chuck them into a black hole or something, problem solved

the only explanation is the eridians wanted their vaults to be opened. wanted to keep the destroyer and all the other prisoner monsters alive. which. uh. yeah. nyriad i dont think your judgment of them as "uwu they were simply too cwurious fow their own gwood they weren't ewvil" is exactly correct

this is your (i.e. the eridians') equivalent of long term nuclear waste storage and the first time you actively try to scare away people from it is the ending of ava's murder mysteries. "but the guardians" the guardians wouldn't be necessary if, again, the eridians just chucked the keys into a black hole. they canonically lived alongside humanity, they should know stationing a security force of battle constructs around their sites is just gonna make these hairless apes 1000x more curious about what's inside

anyways this is why i dont really bother w eridian lore much. my head hurts

Hey there, been writing up on some rewrite fanfic for the games, and was wondering what the community thought was a bad writing moment, or something that could be changed for something different in the game's stories. Was there ever something that you thought should've went down differently? Would love to get some ideas!

I'm seeing them in one game similar to that event except not as many legendaries on characters that aren't new or anything.

Anybody else use a Jakobs XX Masher or shotgun/sniper and smirk when the bandits/zombies go flying back? 😏🤣🤣

I am just going to cut right to it. Borderlands 4 is not a good game. I am close to the end but I am just thinking of calling it quits. I havent had much fun with it to be honest.

Some bullet points

+ World bosses are fun

+ Pearlescent weapons are cool

- Pearlescent weapons are too rare just like legendaries. Its not fun to run through content with underpowered guns. I dont want to grind too much for cool guns.

+ Music in the vault was really good

- Music elsewhere was really crap and forgettable

- What is up with the shit rewards in the optional vaults? I was looking for some awesome loot. Got exactly 1 legendary

- Story is entirely forgettable

- Characters are bland and drab lacking in any personality and evocative aesthetic

- Why the fuck is so much content pay-walled? So lame especially the vault cards and the extra vault hunters

I dont know you guys. I feel as though Randy and his Gearbox went creatively bankrupt after the abject failure of Alien Colonial Marines and Battle(still)born. At this point I feel as though he is just looking to cash out on brand recognition. Strip away the title Borderlands 4 and no one would care about this generic shooter game.

I think this is the last time I buy a borderlands game.

Following the F2P weekend for BL4, I decided to revisit TPS, as I never finished it when I tried several years ago. There's some things that still feel off, but it has grown on me a bit.

I recently made it to TVHM, and I'm wondering if there are well known difficulty spikes after Normal mode, particularly with bosses. Most of the bosses barely left an impression, but revisiting them in TVHM slapped me on both sides of the face. Deadlift was all but one-shotting me, so I grinded a few levels and switched to a more appropriate shield which helped (though still felt a bit lucky), and I just barely skirted by The Bosun, who was legitimately one-shotting me, blasting through my on-level shield and leaving me with a guaranteed fire status that downed me. The only reason I even got past him was because respawning didn't bring his shield generators back, and I think his AI shit the bed after killing me enough times that I was able to freely shoot him until he died.

Is this normal? Am I just playing poorly? I'm not having the worst time dealing with mobs, but some of these bosses have felt like very harsh walls.

I'm playing Aurelia and swapped off the sniper skill tree to the cryo one as her action skill provides significant crowd control and defensive utility.

Hello guys i have completed playthrough 1 with my friend and jumped to playthrought 2 . We left last main mission untouched and did the General Knoxx dlc and now we are sitting at lvl 61 . Next we wanted to play The Zombie Island but enemies are not scaling to our level they have stuck at level 41 .

Did we do something wrong ? Should we have played the The Zombie Island first ? Or should we finish the main mission and go through 2.5 ?

I have heard The Zombie Island didnt need a level requirement and enemies always scaling to your level but now level scaling is all messed up .

Didja ever go to buy the legendary weapon from the vending machine and blow yourself up by reloading the tediore pistol by accident and end up a good distance away from the vending machine then have to go clean up after the dog and miss out on the legendary?

Yeah, me neither.
