Beat it with Commando at level 29, had a handful of side missions left.
Game is just FUN. I've tried Commando, Gunzerker, and Assassin so far. Gunzerker is fun initially but his skill tree is crazy boring. _________________

Basically.
Yea, maybe .5% of the time is there a better shield or gun. But I would say maybe a good 25-50% of my Class Mods.
But otherwise, just for the rare skin and ammos lol.
SLOT MACHINES btw. |
I've likely spent close to 300k on those machines and gotten nothing worthwhile outside of skins. Then again, I've never gotten triple vaults or Marcus's... so I suppose that's something.
I think I have really bad luck in general. My siren is level 38 and I've seen 3 oranges in total... a grenade mod (gave to my roommate) and a shotgun that's pretty much just for fun, "potential conference call"... Flavor text is "let's just ping everyone at once" (every shot from my character to the enemy also sends a spread from a 90 degree angle off camera and therefore hits the mob with 2 blasts... one from the front, and one from the side) |
I have probably spent around 1 million on the slots, currently level 40. I have gotten 3 vault symbols once. What you get is an orange weapon from the first game (I got Sledge's Shotgun).
3 Vault Symbols = Orange
3 Marcus Head's = Purple
3 Moxie Legs = Blue
Cherries = Green
I love the slots
But it's true, money is pretty much useless. _________________

Honestly, even if you spend money on weapons, after a while its still not enough unless you decide to buy out every vending machine you come across lol. _________________ XBL/PSN: Chainedsniper |

I haven't bought 1 weapon from a vending machine. Literally every penny I get I spend on the machines. Almost have all the SDUs too at level 40 _________________

Almost have them all (well almost i guess is a little false) at level 28
I only have to do Pistol and the Bank. But I have to do all of them. _________________ XBL/PSN: Chainedsniper |

Keep in mind I don't farm either I guess, so less from enemies?
I have just the Bank, and the last one for Assault rifles _________________

I didn't know farming on this game was a thing. Seems unnecessary in the 1st play-through _________________

Haven't farmed once. I do the side missions and get sidetracked at times but I've never farmed. Still ahead of the story on levels. _________________

It isnt. Im playing with OHIO, and we dont want to go ahead on missions at all, so when one of us isnt available, we just farm/look for good weapons.
I tried doing a new solo playthrough, but meh, I only really like the game as co-op. _________________ XBL/PSN: Chainedsniper |

I had to do a play-through solo because it happens too quick in Co-Op and you miss a lot of the finer funny things about the game.
I hate farming in any game really, but I don't mind killing literally everything as I go along. _________________

Still waiting to try the Mechromancer... lol
Also, OHIO and I generally clear out side quest then do a mission. But the story missions required us to talk to claptrap (someone who we needed to turn a mission into) and it blocked the two quests we did for the main mission lol _________________ XBL/PSN: Chainedsniper |
