Is anyone else finding the game is getting a little boring now?

Yes.

[nosuchuser]

bks.

Just finished the dlc. thought I'd be clever and leave all my unequipped goodness at Dr Zeds machine while I looted Captain Blade's chamber then decide what I wanted at the machine.
Did the first run and grabbed a load of stuff, when I got back all my original st had gone. Dammit.

On the other hand, my back pack is nice and empty....

Don't forget the next set of keys are coming up at 5pm in 20 mins, valid for 3 hours, and then another lot at 9pm.

Well, this added a little entertainment to my afternoon. Used the first key and got 2 very good shields for my level. Happy.
Just picked up another 2 keys, so have 4 now .

Make sure you claim both the Twitter and Facebook codes as they are different!

I have 5 now. 1 from last night as I only took the Facebook one as I didn't realise. And 4 today; two each from the 11am and 5pm releases.

Edit: I'm halfway to L33 so I may wait till I level up before I use a key.

[JonRB]

Everyone got the last set of Shift codes? You've got 40 mins left.

Should have read my posts from about 12 hours ago then.

I hit L33 last night and used 2 of the 7 keys I gained yesterday

First chest gave some useful guns:



And the second gave two shields:



I've sold the booster shield and kept the spike shield.

Maggie + Bee = Warrior down in less than one Deathtrap. (Bee dropped at the second time of asking - I've heard tell of people requiring dozens of runs to get it)

So yeah, I'm farming the Warrior for a Conference Call at the moment.

ETA: Also, I've got Moxxi's good and bad touches. Either plus Bee equals death.

I got the Bee in about 20 runs, but as it only takes about 2-3 minutes per run to farm Hunter it was not so bad. The Maggie + Bee combo is good, but honestly, you've seen nothing until you use the Conference call.

Sadly I still don't have the DLC for this, I've been playing the Doom III BFG edition for the last couple of days. Once I'm done with that I'll probably DL the season pass and start the pirate missions.

[JonRB]

I've found it's actually ridiculously easy to farm the Warrior...

When the Warrior appears, jump in the lava and kill yourself, and you repawn next to the ammo vendor. Return to the cliff overlooking the arena and you are free to pick him off with repeated sniper rifle shots. A caustic sniper is the best as he's immune to all the other elemental effects. Aim for the red plates on his chest and sides as once these go green you get criticals. Return to the ammo vendor to restock as often as you need. Throw in some rockets as well when the plates are green to speed things up. But basically, apart from the odd Rakk attack, you won't take any damage and can just plug away at the Warrior all day.
When you've defeated him, jump down, stock up on loot, and then Quit & Save back to the main screen and then choose Continue to rinse & repeat.
Note: It's worth selling all your loot from the previous run *after* you commit suicide as the resurrection cost is based on a percentage of your cash.

I don't find him all that hard to kill, you can just jump on to one of the statue platforms and hide from all of his attacks.

Rumour has it that The Bee will get nerfed at some point in the future.

[JonRB]

This'll amuse people, even though it will make me look stupid.

I didn't realise that you can 'spend' Bassass Tokens. Having learned about it, I pressed 'J' to get the menu and found I have 102 of them to spend.

[Slink]

lol, and they carry over onto new char's aswell, so you can have all of those 100 odd onto a new character

[JonRB]

I'm getting sick of farming the Warrior for the Conference Call.

I killed him about 6 times with no success, then took a break and when I came back tried to farm Hunter for the Bee shield. Did that 4 times with no joy. Later in the day I came back on and fought my way through to the Warrior again and killed him 4 or 5 more times and still no Conference Call.

Bit fed up with that.
