Found out anyone can join someone who has it, so I had a buddy help. We still couldn't manage to bring it down until 4-5 tries later though. In that time, we gained 3 levels to boot. Pretty amazing grind spot TBH since the enemies spawn at your level.

The Mechromancer Skill Tree is up.

cool

So my plan to Retro City Rampage out tomorrow while pacing my Siren leveling for the 16th is seemingly shot then?

I need a poop-sock and some coffee damnit!

edit: The Mechromancer DLC/patch seems to be invoking the Badass Rank reset issue for some:

Be sure to backup your 'C:\Users\YourName\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 2\WillowGame\SaveData' folder just in case.

edit 2: DLC/patch is now live on Steam. (560 mb)

edit 3: Started a new game and so far so good. Badass rank intact. Also, the opening comic and cinematic have not been altered to include the Mechromancer so feel free to skip them.

Yeah, I backed up my saves and loaded: no issues with keys or BA rank. Might be related to creating a mechromancer character, but I'm not even bothering with that right now, if ever.

Had no issues with my Badass Rank at all. Enjoying the Mechro so far, though I'm still unsure how I want to use her skilltree.

Thanks, that will come in handy.

Also, does anyone know if the Season Pass DLC includes the Premier Club/Mechromancer thing that's available now?

"@GearboxSoftware To be clear -- the Borderlands 2 Compatibility Pack on Xbox Live should be FREE ...not 4,294,967,295 MSP. Working to get that fixed ASAP."

At least M$ gave them the benefit of the doubt by giving their product a value in the billions

The Season Pass does not include the Premiere Club bonuses or the Mechromancer class.

Good to know. Thanks

Everytime I start BL2 now it says there was a problem downloading your DLC and some of it may be corrupt. Odd.


"Some of your downloadable content is corrupt and cannot be loaded."


EDIT: Verifying game content through steam fixed it it seems!

Wow, at early levels the Mechromancer seems really OP. I can just summon Deathtrap at the boss' and watch everyone get slaughtered. When I fought Flynt I summoned it right at the start, then killed a couple pyschos who were attacking me. By the time I killed them Flynt and all his guys were dead except like one of them.

I'm really enjoying the Mechromancer so far. (level 20):

I've found that Deathtrap is awesome for farming as you can simply toss him out in a rough spot and he'll aggro everything while you just keep on running towards your loot target.

If you're going for Ordered Chaos then I'd recommend getting weapons where you actually can't accidentally reload and keep using those until you've invested into Discord. I originally thought that I'd avoid Discord but I've found it to be absolutely vital as having all of your Anarchy stacks eaten sucks balls whereas Discord causes it to tick-away rather than get eaten all at once.

I've since adjusted to not reloading constantly and I'm starting to actually use Discord as a mechanic although rarely.

Here's my build so far:

I put one point in Cooking Up Trouble (life regen while magazine is full) just to have some health regenerating but it really goes well with low magazine size weapons as well as Blood Soaked Shields (instantly restores shield on kill at the expense of health).

But really, I'm just glad to have a solid shotgun character and holy shit can she one-shot stuff with a decent stack of Anarchy.

Campaign DLC on Tuesday.

Damn you, I wanted to report on that booty.

The Wiki has some more info on it:


Borderlands 2: Pirate's Booty DLC

lots of cool stuff

Cool a new currency and loot rarity level. It makes me curious as to what their plans are for end-game content as that is something which needs to be addressed.

Plenty of other loot games out there this year for Gearbox to steal ideas from.

I dunno, my Deathtrap died from Boom and Bewm
