You just need to complete level 1 of all non level specific challenges. Shouldn't be too tough. I'm almost there and am only a lvl 24

other suggestion if it wasn't already suggested...try to change up your skill tree and wpns/mods/nade if you can. I had a lot of trouble w/one encounter area and I switched it up to be hybrid melee/sniper. Since there was so much surprise close encounters i was getting a lot of counter attack melee bonus in and getting through that area was much easier.

or as mentioned...come back when you have much better gear, levels, and a clear head. no sense is getting frustrated over this...this much.

Thanks but Twitter Whores must have camped out and destroyed that code the split second he posted it. It's done.

As for the end game... I thought the boss was ridiculously easy and underwhelming solo even for my melee based Zer0. I think I'm nearly finished with the challenges achievement as well. I just have to farm Crystaliks for easy crits, Lynchwood for the barrel and day/afternoon kill challenges to finish up.

I'm more concerned with the Jimmy Jinkins achievement since the general consensus is he's ridiculously hard to find because he can spawn anywhere in the game.

I'm up to 8 golden keys now. Hopefully I'll get the code tonight too.

I have no idea how you would verify something like that, but... whatever.

He sometimes jumps to the middle of the screen, out of your view from the cliff, but I found if you jumped you could time it right to where you hit him over the barrier.

Not if you have a rocket launcher that does 12000 damage and is elemental haha I did the same thing

that's how he wins in life.

i'm more impressed with my friend's stay at home mom who beat Halo 3 on legendary, solo.

If you have more than one golden key, on the screen with the challenges for the badass levels where it shows how many keys you have, will it still just show 1, or will it have the actual total number? I still have not used my golden key for preordering, so I have that one. Then, I registered and linked my gamertag to Shift the day the game came out and my total never showed more than 1. Then, last night, I got the prompt on the screen again showing that I have received a golden key, but my total still shows 1. Is this normal, or will I permanently just have only one golden key? Thanks.

I have no idea why you would WANT to verify something like that to the general public in the first place.

Mine says 2 since registering for Shift. It didn't update right away though.

Mine shows two next to the x prompt when you go to open the chest.

Hell no I'm playing on PS3 not Xbox we get trophies Platinum is the last one after getting all of the others

Luckily I haven't been tempted to use the key yet, since I got an orange assault rifle with explosive rounds that dropped for me on a really early side quest boss, but it looks as if I may be screwed unless I can get on one of those twitter codes. The way those have been going, that is not looking like a big possibility though.

In case it hasn't been mentioned here yet...

It appears you can clone backpack items in BL2 the same as in BL1 when playing online co-op.

For XBOX:

1. Guest makes sure current state is saved and everyone gets away from save "poles"
2. Guest drops item
3. Host picks up item
4. Guest immediately quits to dashboard (GUIDE -> Y) (loses unsaved progress)
5. Host saves game normally (save pole/quit)

This simply exploits the fact that a non-host can exit without saving while leaving the rest of the team in-game, so two guests can clone as well.

One From Zero- dude, I had no idea you were registered here.

hahaha. Yeah, had been lurking here for some time until I got BL1 and saw the CAG playteam thread some months ago. That motivated me to finally make it legal

Cool. Hope you like it here. This place is the reason I have so many damn Xbox games.
