[meeeeeep]

yea i have been wondering about the same thing rivero, also wondering if it affects skills i have a 0/5 in

According to other forums you need at least 1/5 in that skill for class mods to kick in.

[Qalbert]

and the same forum says it does stack over 5/5, I'm hoping for a patch to show the mod on your skill tree, it will help clear some confusion

[Kiarax]

I'm going to assume the skills stack over 5 otherwise the whole point of mods seems kind of useless to me. : p

Why would that make them useless? If it did cap at 5 you could put something like 2 points in a skill that your mod had +3 in, that'd leave you 3 points for other things instead. Seems that is not the case however anyway.

Yes, but then your talent build would be dependent on having that certain type of mod and it would just complicate things immensely if you wanted to try other mods. : p

Anyone have any clue what adding more points to the "on kill 100% extra item" does?

Anyone up for playing with me on PC?

Just finished Nine-Toes quest, up for questing after that if you'd like.

I dunno but I'm positive its not actually 100%. I kill people all the time with that ability maxed out and it still seems like I only get drops 25% of the time. The way things are worded in this game is totally bullshit to how it actually works.

While I'm not entirely certain on this, I think it's only 100% if the monster will drop something. Or are you referring to like killing a mob and only getting one item? I'm not going to delve too much into the possibilities but assuming 7/5 is in play would that mean 140%? Maybe if you stack it enough you get two extra items. : p

Just lost my Co-op partner since his video card just crashed on him. Playing by yourself isn't the same. : ( So ronry at moments.

If anyone wants to play on the PC my account is: Leftarmpunch
I didn't think free online was going to work when I made this account, lol.

What level are you? Want to start new characters?

[izembo]

you need at least 1/5 to get any pluses from the mods

skills can go over 5/5 with mods

[Fairy-Killer]

damn how the hell did he hit a 50 proficiency on two play throughs? i am like lvl 32 and no higher than a lvl 11 proficiency on any weapons

He pretty much only used sniper rifles. We also did every quest possible in the game. I am a lvl 50 Soldier and I have 3 skills at 30+ (SMG, Rifles, and Shotguns) and if I would've used one type of weapon the entire game, I would have 50, too. Also, we play split screen so it adds more monsters and difficulty is a bit higher. It seemed that the best place for proficiency was the Eridian place. He got from 42-50 just running through there because of his damn trespass ability.

I been playing split screen and were on play through two. We only found two orange guns so far which were a fire sniper rifle and a shotgun. Both my friend took so I been looking for my own but I'm having a hard time finding one. Are orange weapons random or some places have a better chance to yield orange weapons?

[izembo]

ive found 2 orange snipers so far

[Thunder]

Random afaik. And most of them suck, too.

Unless you're into ammo regen, I guess. Only possible useful ones I've found was a rocket launcher named Mongol-something and it burst fired 3 rockets and as it flew through the air it'd spawn extra rockets next to it(really apparent if you shot into the air; would have like 20 missles in the sky). A 4x fire, good damage/fire rate pistol. A shotgun with 2 fire rate, 230 x 7 damage, 2x explosive, 16 mag size, 75 acc, shotgun. And a sniper that looks like a barrett with 285 damage X 6, .4 fire rate, and 6 mag size.

Rest of my good guns include a 634 damage rifle, 15 fire rate, 52% recoil reduction; launcher with 6mag(makes 11 with my mod/overload) 500% burst fire, 910 damage, 9 fire rate, and 89 acc; another pretty cool one is a 1649 damage revolver with 95 acc +48% acc, 1 fire rate, and 2 mag size.

Anyone else find some neat guns?

[Insanecyclone]

I like the amount of lilith 34 I'm seeing out there. Any news of another dlc besides the zombie one yet?

[izembo]

wont hear anything till after that one comes out i'd imagine

[Minions]

Best Sniper I've found really is:
PPZ DETONATING COBRA (orange)
DMG: 341
ACC: 93.3
RATE: 1.2
CLIP: 5 BULLETS
Chance to cause explosions x3
-----------------------

Anyone seen better? I also have:
PPZ20 LIQUID THUNDER
DMG:378
ACC:91.8
RATE:2.7
CLIP: 5 BULLETS

But the second one sucks in comparison to the first, the additional explosion damage makes hits break 1k~ easily even if not to the head. I'm currently LVL35, been playing split screen though the game. 73% Trophies, I feel like this game will be beaten 100% in the next few days. My 1.21 Gigawatts seems to be glitched however, I played for a few hours with a shock pistol which never gave me the trophy, but says I have 51 shock kills.

[TacoTaru]

So I think I had the 12 Days in Pandora Achievement glitch on me. I hit it last night with my second Corrosive kill and nothing popped up. Anyway around this or am I going to be forced to start a new character and work on it again?

[Minions]

Game just corrupted on ps3..... gg.

[Qalbert]

I had an orange Hyperion for a while, don't know the exact stats, but it had a 16 clip which was the shit. Using a volcano something sniper now, can post stats later.

[Deftscythe]

I'm a little confused on artifacts. I did the New Haven corrosive crystal quest the other night and when I got my corrosive artifact reward I couldn't use it. I already had a level two corrosive artifact equipped, but I'd been led to believe if you used a new artifact of a type you already had, it just bumped up the existing artifact by one level, in this case giving me a level 3 corrosive.

So, how do artifacts actually work with regards to multiples of the same type?
