Borderlands 3 - (PC)

Hey @drinkturps

Glad you are enjoying the game. I've been very happy with it so far. No major issues other than a couple of CTD but they are very few and far between.

Just trying to go through the story atm with Amara. Currently lvl 20 and finding the bosses quite a challenge. Might ask you to come and give me a hand if I ever get really stuck!!!

Gunplay feels nice and solid; just lacking decent weapons atm but hopefully they will come. Enemies do tend to feel a tad bullet spongey at times however a good weapon makes it so much better. They just tend to become less good a few levels after you find them. Done quite a lot of the side missions but not all. Writing has been good; not quite as lol funny as I found BL2 at times but pretty decent.  

Happy with how things are progressing.

I thought you were playing Flak? Yeah some of the bosses can be very tricky. When I made it up to I went back and did him when I was several levels higher. One tough cookie.

I've been lucky with loot and running a few legendary items now. Got a shotgun that fires 5 rounds at once but they explode like grenades with radiation damage. It melts those dudes with shields and goliaths. Also loving my twin minigun iron bear.

Here's a new golden key which you should redeem in game CHKB3-FJT9J-SK3K5-T33JJ-95J56 and a VIP vault code ITSBEEN for 250 pointsKillavolt

Thx - I've redeemed the key and I'll use it if I get really stuck with Amara. Just hit lvl 23 on Amara and currently:
My Fl4k is level 50 and most of the way through TVHM. I'm sure I will go back and complete it on him at some point; enjoying the 1-50 leveling process atm though. Definitely found Fl4k easier to level with. The pet actually deals reasonable damage and resurrected me a lot when I went down! Didn't think to save any weapons for leveling - will try to do that a bit more this time round when I do Moze. Zane is the only one I'm not that fussed about atm. Maybe that will change if I see a cool build I like for him.

I found a legendary Maliwan SMG on Amara that seems to be doing quite a lot of DoT dmg atm. Basically I unload a full clip into anything (big) and then run away until the DoT kills them or rinse and repeat for anything particularly tanky!! Seems like Amara is really reliant on having good / specialised  weapons if you don't go for a melee build which I wasn't looking to do.

Anyway, thx for the codes. Good luck in the Borderlands! In Eden 6 - just about to go and find Clay. I've avoided Killavolt completely atm. The fight was a pain on Fl4k (both times) and I doubt my Amara will be able to do it until she has really good weapons.

Wow. You've been nearly through the game twice! Here's me thinking I've been playing a lot and I'm only at 26 on my first toon. In 2 more levels I can grab Forge for the ammo regen which is going to be fab. I'll look to improve my fuel efficiency and then start working on the Shield tree.

One bit of the story that got me was
I'm pretty certain I'll buy a season pass, it's everything I wanted.

THEBORDERLANDSSHOW  is another VIP codein BL Pre-Sequel you can play as Lady Aurelia Hammerlock and she's pretty good fun to play with her ice skills. So when it turns out she's in with the COV it was a bit of a shock!

Ive not had a lot of time to play but I've really been enjoying it. Don't think the humour is quite as good as previous games but it's very much like the old fun Borderlands and I'm loving it.

I've not had any issues other than sometimes the frame rate drops a little when there's loads going on.

I've had some great guns but Strangely none of the orange ones I've got have been great, thing the best have been blue. I'm at level 17 now with flak. Haven't been paying attention to the skills tree really. It doesn't seem as good as BL2s tree but having a beast is kinda like having a portable turret!

Funny when @drinkturps said he's not bought the season pass. I wasn't even going to buy the game at full price, then I caved and I thought to myself screw it, I'll end up buying the DLC anyway so I got the super deluxe version in the "hope" it'll save me a few quid!

@drinkturps ... You so know you will hahahahaba

I was happy to have bought the Super Deluxe Version at Pre-order so it was somewhat discounted. Typically their DLC has had some of the best writing / story telling in it so I'm really excited for what it may be.

Just have to hope that most of the rest of the DLC for BL3 not included in the Season Pass is cosmetic stuff. I expect that the increased level cap once it comes may either be part 4 of the DLC or may not be included. Either way I think I'll be getting anything extra that adds more levels......

Interesting to read recently that the devs are not planning to add any extra characters as DLC. I would have expected a couple like the previous games. Once you have everybody to 50 or max level having some other classes to go through could help extend the life of the game, or it would for me at any rate.

Just finished NVHM with Amara. Was able to get a really nice anointed weapon prior to some of the harder fights towards the end of the game. Made it much easier.

Still Amara isn't even close to Fl4k for damage (burst especially) - may have slightly better survive-ability if you spec for it although Fl4k was pretty good anyway. I've not tried the melee build at all but I imagine that may not shine in bossfights anyway?!? Just going to run some of the side missions I picked up and skipped in Mayhem 1 and then move onto TVHM to get the last however many levels to hit 50. Next up will likely be Moze.

Some of you guys have way too much time on your hands.
I’ve been playing this for 2-3 hours every night since launch and I’m only lvl16, having just beaten Killavolt.
Am I the only one that finds themselves barely reaching the minimum level requirements for the main missions, although I keep completing as many side missions as I can find?

enigma1701

I'm the same so don't worry about it! I'm not sure where I can find how many hours I've played it but it feels like a lot and I'm at level 18!
