That's what I'm starting to turn into. I was originally planning on doing combat rifle and melee, but I find since I'm up close so much to get in range for slashes that I am using my explosive shotgun much more. Definitely a different experience than I had with my characters in the first game which I like.

from what i've read moxxi's rocket launcher is actually decent, so here's to hoping that it is...actually decent. though I don't know how long it'll take me to get to lvl 50 when i make an attempt at the slaughter dome.

got a great blue drop from my 1st real boss fight, im guessing it's what he drops since it has one of those "this gun is the shizzle" in the descripter of affixes. so i retired my explosive shotgun because of this cracked out pistol.

as far as playing zero, ive put in a few points into counter attack since im always get hit and eventualy have no choice but to get into melee range. the bonus to melee damage is decent between reloads. i'll likely go the full sniping tree and dabble in melee at the higher levels.

All the decent weapons we've been finding are pistols. It's getting better now that I invested in accuracy. More like I remembered of BL1.

Edit: I too tried shotgun ninja, but due to crappy shotguns so far, it's not worth using over my purple pistol.

it's possible the drops at least early on are based on the area and level of your character. i'm getting a ton of pistols as well, and mostly fire based, with the exception of 2 explosive guns. I found 1 explosive shotgun that seems to fire 5 homing rockets at a time...but the reload speed is so slow i'm better off sniping from a distance then switching to my pistol when cloaked.

Oh it feels gooooood to be back playing BL! I just got home from vacation last night with it sitting on my doorstep so I fired up the game this morning. I'm at like lvl 8 or 9 so not too far. Got my first orange though - a badass rifle with explosion. I got it with the midget/skag(whatever it's called now I forgot already) mission - I killed the skag-replacement-thing first and out popped the orange rifle. The badass midget just stood there until I killed him - kinda glitchy. I've also mostly been getting pistols. I'm set up as a siren since that's what I enjoyed most from the first game. Enjoying it immensely!

Has anyone gotten their Premier Club Code from Amazon yet?

Also got mine on the 18th.

Well I pre-ordered this kind of late, and I got the game today (online right now), so I hope to get the code soon or I'll have to complain to Amazon.

If it's any consolation, the Premiere Club guns are next to useless, they'll get outclassed by loot you'll find 15-20 minutes into the game. The mechromancer is the real draw here and that won't be available until next month anyway.

Oh, I know. That's why I ultimately pre-ordered.

I've noticed the +5% rare find relic really helps out. I took it off for a while a noticed my rare drops were not as frequent. With it on I've found 3 orange guns, 1 orange shield and plenty of purples and blues.

I agree with you and the gold starter weapons, worthless!

I thought those weapons leveled to you, so if you picked them up at Lv.50, they'd be Lv.50 weapons.

You start the game with the Premiere Club weapons already in your inventory. The gold weapon chest in Sanctuary is different.

That's for the guns you get out if the gold key chest. The gold starter weapons are low level. (when I say gold, I don't mean orange rare weapons)

Oh, okay. I stopped when I got to Level 8, so a few impressions.

- I think my eyes are taking a little bit of time adjusting to the changes in the art style
- This game seems a lot harder than the first one, although it might just be because it's new to me
- Money seems really scarce in this game so far
- I like that you can customize your character outside of color
- I feel like the Badass Rating system got you Tokens more easily. I also feel like they could add a few categories every couple of weeks for a while to extend the replay value some
- I like the Network Options and the way they are laid out
- I like the expanded Gameplay Options

No, I agree it's noticeably harder than Borderlands 1. Seems more balanced for co-op too.

I would say it's a bit more difficult for a few reasons. One, Borderlands was a super-easy game, and you could easily breeze right through it without a problem. So, making tougher was a no-brainer. Two, the early stages of the game are rather difficult because of minimal upgrades. As I have noticed as I've gained more skillpoints, the game has gotten progressively easier. And I expect it to keep doing so.

Kotaku: Randy Pitchford Teased Details of Borderlands 2’s Future During Our Live Interview Today. Here Are A Few.

Gearbox is in talks about putting Borderlands 2 on the Vita. The first story content-heavy DLC will have details revealed very soon. One DLC planned for the near future might have something to do with Pitchford's desire to "ride on one of those sand skiffs from Return of the Jedi." Borderlands 2 could see more additional playable classes like the Mechromancer. Pitchford's words: "We created the ability in Borderlands 2 to add additional characters because we want to use that ability. The Mechromancer is the first one. I hope to do more. The success of the Mechromancer will help to define this." There are plans to make a Mac port. There's going to be a Claptrap game for the Wii U that combines America's Next Top Model, Just Dance 3, JAWS and Attack of the C.H.U.D. Ok, not really. That one was a joke. Or was it?...It was. Looks like there might be more skins, heads, and possibly other character customization in future DLC. T.K. Baha will make some sort of return outside his small appearance in the sequel.
