*edit* ok just looked it up further - wow sounds nice - will definitely be trying this out next time I'm on!

Pretty much any gun that does multi-projectiles without saying x# in the description will do full amp damage. Sandhawk is one of the better ones in this category, and easy to get.

This is an interesting promo.

Borderlands 2 Gear Up Weekend

Gear up for the release of Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt -- the third campaign add-on for Borderlands 2, arriving January 15 -- with special in-game events this weekend!

The festivities begin today, January 11, with Vault Hunters reporting that various areas of Pandora have seen an influx of powerful shotguns. To join in the fun, simply boot up Borderlands 2 while connected to the internet before the supply runs dry -- based on current conditions, expect the excess to be exhausted at 10:55AM CST / 4:55PM GMT on Saturday, January 12

I am not a huge shotgun guy but I will go check out a few areas to see if I can find anything.

Dumb question I know but, where do we look and how will we even know?

Huh. Seems weird to me that they have the ability to change weapon drops like this in real time, without a title update or anything, and they haven't done any events with it until now.

I just went through Three Horns Divide, The Highlands, and Wildlife Exploitation Preserve and did not notice anything out of the ordinary. I might wait a few hours and check some boards to see if people have figured it out or not.

I do know they feed some info automatically when you connect the game but it is weird they can change gun drops on the fly. Especially considering how much people have complained about legendary drops it seems like they could fix that a little if they wanted but they choose to be stingy still.

Is the lost badass rank/items glitch finally fixed yet? If so, I may mix in some of this with gears 4XP and Max Payne 3 3XP.

my thoughts exactly. Maybe they waited for active players numbers to drop first?

That makes over 20 keys for me and I havent even started the game yet...

Ditto, except I have 60!

Hmmm, I wonder if the shotgun loot change also relates to the Golden Keys in Sanctuary, hmmmm *evil guy hand rub*.

That's kinda cool they can change ingame stuff like that

Supposedly fixed with the last update.

I did a few warrior runs with my nephew a couple hours ago. Definitely more shotty drops but not that great really. Tons of green ones, a few blue and a few purple.

Question: I don't have any of the DLC right now, and I can only get one of the two until I get some more points.

Pirates Booty DLC
Torgues Campaign of Carnage

Which one?

Just noticed this over at twitter.com/echocasts:

Save for the season pass to get both plus two more?

But, as for those two, I liked Torgue's better. It is funny as hell, and adds a nice variety of enemies. It is a little easier, and shorter, if that matters. Additionally, Torgue's has the seraph crystal vendor and torgue machines (Pirate's only has the seraph vendor) and the seraph vendor in Torgue's has a larger list of items/item types for sale. The raid boss for Torgue's (the raid bosses are who you can get seraph crystals from) is a lot easier to kill than the two in the Pirate DLC.

That said, Pirate's is very good, and has better quest rewards.

Can't comment on the story DLC, but will wholeheartedly recommend the Mechromancer Pack if you don't happen to have it. On sale for 400 msp now.

Thanks! Started second play through and it's not so bad. I did opt to not do any of the side missions though. Stupid on my part as I hit 41 after firehawk. I do need two more side missions for the achievement how ever.

Thanks guys. I have the Mecromancer pack already. I was leaning more towards Torgue's so I may go that route.
