2K Publishing a Borderlands 2 Retail Add-On Pack



Kind of weird that it only contains the first two campaign DLCs in addition to the non-campaign stuff. Is there going to be a "Add-On Pack Part 2" when all four are out?

I don't get why they're doing this at all again, just going to cause confusion like it did w/Borderlands 1.

Just do a GotY Edition this fall for the people w/o broadband and/or the frugal/DLC haters.

Right, that's what I was thinking as well. Kind of like when Rockstar came out with Episodes of Liberty City as an add-on yet that came out in the holiday season, (understandable for the timing there).

Sorry to ask this in here, but i couldnt find a borderlands 1 topic.

Im playing borderlands 1 and sometimes guns have a damage of 50 then it changes to something like x4. And it constantly goes back and forth between the two numbers. Does anyone know what that means?

Number of projectiles per shot.

Weapon Damage Multipliers

The base damage of a weapon is the amount of damage the target should take on each successful hit. Some weapons' item card Damage stat will show the base damage and a multiplier, represented by flashing yellow multiplier text (such as "x7") alternating with the damage number. If a multiplier is present, the weapon will fire the number of projectiles given by the modifier for each trigger squeeze. Take note that in some cases, certain features of the weapon will lead to the consumption of more than one unit of ammunition expended per shot fired.

The most common type of weapon to show damage multiplier stats are Shotguns, firing several pellets per shot (the number of pellets varies according to Shotgun type). Other weapon types can have a damage modifier, but in such cases these are special features rather than a typical feature of the weapon.

Comparing a single-shot Rocket Launcher to a Helix Rocket Launcher:

• A normal Rocket Launcher with 500 damage and a 3 round magazine. With every pull of the trigger, 1 rocket is fired and will do 500 damage to its target and 1 round of Launcher ammo will be used, its potential damage per magazine adds up to 1,500.

• A Helix Rocket Launcher with 200 damage with a x3 modifier, and a 3 round magazine. With every pull of the trigger, 3 micro-rockets will fire at the target in a spiraling pattern doing 200 damage per micro-rocket if the target is hit and 1 round of Launcher ammo will be used, its potential damage per magazine adds up to 1,800.

Thanks for the info. One of the things im still learning is what guns to keep and which ones to get rid of. I know the colors tell me how rare they are, but im not sure the color really means its a better gun.

Yeah, rarity doesn't tell the entire story. "Better" is totally subjective. It's all about the balance of stats that you prefer.

Also, you will ALWAYS find a "better" gun as you progress

I haven't played this game in forever because I get motion sickness after playing for like 30 minutes. Very few games do that to me...I don't even recall the first borderlands making me sick. Might have to trade it...it's a great game to.

Yeah, this is the only game that has ever done that to me. I don't recall the first game having the same effect. Something about the head bob or maybe the field of vision changed some, but something is definitely off compared to other games.

Of course that's not gonna stop me from playing. My Gunnars tend to help.

What I find difficult is parting with a gun/shield (that I've had for a while) because my character "outgrew" it. I think I spent half of my playing time going through inventory and comparing item stats.


I got motion sick with Fallout 3, but surprisingly, not Borderlands 2. I'm OK when playing, but if I'm watching someone else play, ugh.

Well, at i'm glad to see i'm not the only one! I haven't played this game in months. I really like it but it isn't cool getting sick from it. I keep saying i'll go back to it and haven't. I might sell it now and wait until it is cheap and then get it.


Edit: In my lifetime, i've had maybe 2 or three games, that have given me motion sickness. It sucks that this game is one of them.

I've thought the exact same thing many many times.

that's what bank characters are for

Thats the same thing i do in borderlands 1. Then when i get a capacity upgrade i think cool more room. Then i just end up getting that many more guns to compare and ponder over. Which really isnt a good thing.

I try not to spend too much time on curating my inventory. There will always be something better down the line!

yeah I learned to let go of guns that I don't use much even if they are good or like them because I would run around right on the inventory limit all the time and had to spend 15 minutes deciding what to drop when I found a better gun/shield/class mod

I had a mule, but then I stopped using it. Twinking takes up even more play time. Much easier for me to just get rid of equipment that goes unused or that will never be used by my main characters. The GearBox Software forums are full of equipment hoarders with bank characters. Just not my thing.

Since I want to keep the best legendary/pearl of each type I've also resorted to mules.

I will say there are nice side-benefits, though. A powerleveled mule with team ammo-regen or rare items is a great ally to have sitting in the basement while soloing Crawmerax! Almost makes up for having to play split screen

Yeah, my mule is now just a carrier for legendaries only. Also makes for an easier game/character save file that I back up onto a USB thumb drive. I power-leveled it and brought it along on boss fights so I could get more eridium to buy storage space from Crazy Earl lol.
