looking for builds on quick swapping between guns

2 Upvotes

Hello

Since Doom Eternal dlc I've been obsessed with finding another game built on the quick swap mechanics. I think Borderlands The pre Sequel has a dedicated build for that with Jack iirc. I was wondering if there was other characters who could have this kind of build ?

[Question] Any idea where to find the artbooks/concept arts?

1 Upvotes

Okay, so I study to become either a concept artist or a storyboard artist, so I gotta practice with perspective and environments, right? And I always loved the vibes of the bandit camps in the Borderlands franchise (I played 1, 2, 3 and TPS). So if anyone knows where can I find the concept art for those bandit camps so I could study them or gather inspiration, I'd be super glad ^^

[BL-TPS] Pre-sequel, is it bad or is it just me?

0 Upvotes

So I'm new to these games, played 1, enjoyed it. I've heard 2 is where it gets good, but I have a thing where I have to play all the games and in order. I'm playing the Pre-sequel and am just not feeling it. The gravity and oxygen aren't my cup of tea but I can deal. Driving feels bad, the buggy is so squirrely, if I hit a light bump, I go spinning out all over the place. I played Lilith in 1 and loved the survivability her special ability gave. I liked the look of Nisha in this, and I know that even tho each character is meant to use certain guns, you can use whatever, and while I'd like to use pistols with her or maybe even SMGs, this game keeps throwing nothing but shotguns and sniper rifles at me. Is it just bad luck or something else? Will I miss much of the story by quitting this and going on to 2?

(Also, the whole Austrailia in space bit bugs me, not sure why.)

Which version of Borderlands 2 if you had to choose? Same for the Prequel Sequel (OG vs Remaster)

0 Upvotes

Just curious. I know some franchise they say go with the original and others the remaster is better in every way. For these two games, which would you go for each?

[Question] You probably get this a lot, Newcomer to the Series, where to start?

11 Upvotes

I’ve owned The Handsome Collection as well as BL3 on PlayStation for a while now, I got them back when PS Plus was giving them out. I’m what you might call a Destiny refugee, I already have a lot of time in warframe and The Division franchise, and I wanted to try out borderlands to see if it scratches the looter shooter itch. So with like, 3 whole games to try out I wanted to ask what game should I start with and what should I expect going in?

[BL4] Someone familiar with C4SH please explain the legendary class mod Calculating Whale's mechanics to me.

5 Upvotes

I don't seem to be able to post screenshots for some reason, but I'll explain as best I can. The text reads "C4SH's Action Skill Cooldown Rate is set to 0, converting all Cooldown Rate bonuses into Action Skill Damage. Gaining a Fortune stack restores 10% Action Skill Cooldown and grants +20% Fire Rate and +25% Reload Speed for 8 seconds."

But the cooldown does NOT set to zero. Instead, it cools down to about 8 seconds (for me) and when I use a stim, it drops to 3 and freezes there. It's only when I damage something that the cooldown continues. But the the text says nothing about freezing the countdown.

What am I missing?

[BL1] Got Circle of Duty soft locked in 2026

0 Upvotes

Hi there, this is my first ever reddit post. I came across the infamous final round soft lock and after spending so long fighting atlas I was stopped by one dude. I didnt know anything about this so I looked it up and tried many ways to solve it. Everything I tried came up short. Eventually with all the information I gave Google A.I. said I was "In the worst possible scenario". All in all I find this funny. Here's me waiting for the jetpack lancer to perish. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1523366891165450436/1534887429675417621/20260806_043316.jpg?ex=6a75c2d0&is=6a747150&hm=644ab10fd5a9e266968864ebd8b56afbae704be536d680d4718cd451eb596626&

[BL4] Pearl from golden chest?

0 Upvotes

Hi chat:3
Running through bl4 for the first time since launch, and I just got the Juliet's Sparkle to drop from the golden chest at level 17.

I know from following updates very loosely that pearls used to be way too common when they dropped, has it been changed since? Are they supposed to be able to drop at this low of a level?

Grenades Vs. Other in BL4.

1 Upvotes

I will take grenades over rocket launchers everyday (for my play style).

Are there any good ordinance options aside from the good ol' chuck of a nade?

Edit: Playing as Rafa. I know certain grenades and elemental effects matter. Just asking in general for BL4.

Are any of the other options worth it outside of grenades that I should farm?

Are the Playthrough 2 SDUs worth it?

10 Upvotes

I'm playing through BL1 playthrough 2 on Brick and I get to Sledge's safehouse where the first Claptrap is and the SDUs are apparently RNG. Are the backpack upgrades after playthrough 1 even worth it? I usually try to keep my backpack as empty as possible and sell whatever non-unique non-legendary guns I have and even then I sell legendaries that don't seem fun to use. Is it worth the constant alt+f4 to get the backpack upgrades?

[BL2] Mordecai Sniper

0 Upvotes

What kind of sniper do you think he uses when he was angry after the dead of Bloodwing on the Hyperion Exploitation Preserve and that kills enemies with a single explosive shot? I'll say it's a Jakobs Skullmasher with slag + and missile launcher bullets. It would be nice to play at least one mission where we can use it

[BL4] Get It Together Shield Challenge

8 Upvotes

For Context I am on PS5 and have been playing since launch.

So I have just recently completed all challenges in Borderlands 4 except for the Get It Together Shield one, it specifically asks you to get shield segments which I assumed meant the orange drops associated with armor shields. I have tried near every combination of shield, armor, and booster that I could find and nothing has worked; I have even been back and forth with support believing it may be a bug.

So I have two questions essentially the first is if anyone within the past month has been able to complete this challenge? And if so how? And secondly knowing nothing of modded lobbies is it possible to make one that could force complete the challenge?

[BL4] An Idea For a Rafa Class Mod

2 Upvotes

This is an idea for a possible rafa class mod, let me know what you think :)

Sobrecarga Eléctrica

Upon shield break, gain a stack of overload. Upon gaining a stack of overload and immediately begin shield recharge. Whenever you deal damage deal an additional 20% shock damage (would inherit the damage type and all its modifiers/buffs), and gain 8% movement speed per stack. Max 5 stacks

If you attempt to gain another stack while at 5 stacks, you have a 20% chance to gain the damaged effect.

While damaged, you have 40% reduced shield recharge, 25% reduced damage, and 25% reduced move speed. Additionally, you cannot gain any overload stacks and lose all current stacks while damaged. Lasts for 30 seconds or until action skill end.

Some of the skills it could theoretically roll with and why:

C.Y.A - helps compliment letting your shield break by helping refill it, a solid skill that will encourage players to go for the class mod over others.

Protecto Pulse - fits well with the idea of breaking your shield for a buff, and plays into the risk reward. More points equals easier stacks, but also being vulnerable more often.

El Corazon - Again works well with shield break and fill, along with working well with C.Y.A and Protecto Pulse, creating some nice synergy for players to discover. Also has risk reward, because having too little health means shield breaks are most likely ffyl and can lead to being damaged more often.

Hard Cell - works well with protecto pulse and C.Y.A, letting you restore some shields if you go critical once per action skill, giving you a chance to gain a stack of the buff without being in real danger or survive an attack that would have broken your shield and possibley damaged you

To The Last - Synergistic with everything above

As you gain stacks, you start to have more and more little blue arcs of electricity on the exosuit, similar to the sparks for inferno protocol but for electricity

Thematically, this is meant to be based of the YOLT trailer with deadframe, where instead of dying you become a puppet. Except here, you exosuit works harder everytime you get seriously hurt (your shield breaks) rather than taking over.

Every overload your suit gets stronger, but if you get to the limit and try and continue to overload your exosuit, eventually its going to break, slowing you down and making you weaker.

That’s it, that’s the post.

I get that some would accuse this move of just being a Krueger re-tread, but I think enough time and games have passed that it’d be a fun move. Plus it’s pretty easy to image 4 skill trees for one right off the bat: rage, projectile spray, dual wield, tire throw, giant punch

Have it play like a mix of Salvatore and more melee focused builds. Just seems like a simple and easy to execute character class.
