Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

LOOK AT ME, I'M ON THE MOON!

Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchfford and 2K Australia general manager Tony Lawrence have teamed up to bring us the next installment in the Borderlands series.

This will be taking place on the Hyperion Corporation Moon Base as you fight along with Handsome Jack. This is a first-person loot & shoot role playing game and as you tell by the title it will be taking place as not a prequel and not a sequel but a Pre-sequel. The time line will be during the rise of Handsome Jack before Borderlands 2 and after Borderlands 1

There will be 4 new playable character classes to choose from

- Athena, the Gladiator: Uses her Kinetic Aspis, which is a shield that can absorb incoming damage, then convert it back into energy to use against enemies. Athena made her debut in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx DLC for the first Borderlands game.
- Wilhelm, the Enforcer: Wilhelm was previously seen in Borderlands 2 as one of the first deadly bosses in the game.
- Nisha, the Lawbringer: The sheriff of Lynchwood from Borderlands 2, Nisha will be dealing out her own brand of justice, which we'll discuss further in the coming months.
- Claptrap, the Fragtrap: Wait - Claptrap? The goofy robot companion from Borderlands 2, now playable for the first time? Fragtrap is his character class? Well, you can play him too!

Some of the new gameplay elements shown in the video here we will obviously be on the moon so that means no gravity and that means floating around with jet packs and having an awesome time.
We will also be introduced to a new special attack which is like a ground pound, when you are in the air you can come down fast and pound an enemy into the ground like the Mario Brothers.
Also I cant forget to mention the 2 new element types that are being showed in the trailer, Ice & Laser. Thats right we will now have ICE this is really awesome, sure we will have lasers too which will most likely cause fire damage and have the same effect on enemies as fire BUT ICE. We can now shoot an enemy which will freeze them and then attack them with out new ground pound as they smash into little pieces. AWESOME!

Well anyway this is just my introduction into the new Borderlands game "The Pre-Sequel" This will be coming out for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC with a release date of sometime this fall.
You can be sure that I will be covering this game all the time on my YouTube Channel which you can go here to Subscribe so you do not miss out on anything.

How To Level Up Fast in Borderlands 2

How to get to level 72 fast in Borderlands 2

I made this video to show off some tips for level up and power leveling in Borderlands 2 which you can watch below.

Here are the methods I like to use for leveling up fast!!

1) Pyro Pete's Bar:

Once you are in Pete's Bar you can accept a mission which you can constantly do over and over for almost 10,000 XP and with that combined with the enemies you will be killing it is by far the fastest and easiest way to level up.

2) The Warrior / Bunker

Killing the Warrior or the Bunker are both very easy and will score you an easy 20,000+ XP each kill and only takes just a minute to kill with the right build, I have this amazing Gunzerker build if you want to check it out here

3) Loot Midget Run

Another great method for leveling up is to farm loot midgets. I prefer to do this in Thousand Cuts but if you are wanting the loot plus the XP then you will want to do this in the Wildlife Preservation are and try to kill some of the Rabid Stalkers and bigger enemies I prefer to use a Norfleet as shown in the video and use it when the enemies are grouped up together.

Okay so these are my tips for leveling up to 72 fast in Borderlands 2 if you wish to check out my Youtube Channel you can do it here. I do allot of videos like this and live streams as well. I hope this helped and for the next blog post I will be showing you the Best Farming Spots in Borderlands 2.

BORDERLANDS 2 - ULTIMATE RAID BOSS GUNZERKER BUILD

Borderlands 2 Ultimate Level 61 Gunzerker Build

HEYO!! Welcome to my Blog and welcome to my Level 61 Gunzerker Pistol Build.

I am going to go through and explain how to setup this amazing build with you today. This build is mainly good for Farming and killing raid bosses on the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. Its a great all around build and is very fun to use.

OK so lets get right into this. But first If you would prefer to make things easy I have prepared this video from my Youtube channel which will explain my Salvador build and show gameplay also.

Hyperius:

Master Gee:

Pyro Pete:

Voracidious:

The Ancient Dragons of Destruction:

Alright now lets get onto the Ultimate Gunzerker Build!

THE SKILL TREE:

First up we have the Skills, I focus mainly on the Rampage and Gunlust tree the Brawn tree is not really useful in this build and I will explain why in a bit.

OK so the skill tree, this is how I have my skill points set up, a few changes are allowed to be made and you will still get the same effect. Like you can move the 2 points used on [U]Incite[/U] and 2 points in [U]Hard To Kill[/U] to just about anywhere you want, I just prefer incite as it will help getting to places much faster when you take damage, but I have also been useing these 4 points in the gunlust tree to add to the crit damage for the [U]Quick Draw[/U] skill. Also the [U]No Kill Like Overkill[/U] Skill is not really needed here same with just about any of the kill skills as this builds primary use is going to be for killing raid bosses. So you can place that point anywhere and also another free point can come from [U]Double Your Fun[/U] to be moved anywhere you want to help suit your needs.
Here is how I have my skills set up exactly.

THE LOOT:

Now onto the loot I will show each weapon, class mod, grande mode, and relic I am using for this build.

So as I said above this is going to be mainly a pistol build so the main focus here is going the be the Rubi and a Double Penetrating Unkempt Harold. I will show each weapon and item I am using below and how to find them aswell.

Found within and Torgue vending Machine

Obtained from the mission "Rakkaholics Anonymous"

 Obtained from the mission "Whoops" in the Pirates Booty DLC

This class mod can be found anywhere, its a very common drop from chests and Pyro Pete.

NOTE: I highly suggest going back o True Vault Hunter Mode to farm for this as the level 50 will give 

the same stat boost as a level 61 but the decrease on shield is not as high.

The Sheriff's Badge is found from the Sheriff in Lynchwood after completing the mission 

you are able to return and farm her for this. (Very Common)

OK so though I am using the Bee in this build, it is not really needed. You can use just about any sheild

depending on the situation or boss you are fighting.

OK so there you have it, my Ultimate Gunzerker (Salvador) Build. Please feel free to contact me on my Twitter or my Youtube with any questions about this build. Also I do allot of videos on my Youtube channel for Borderlands 2 and other games so feel free to drop by and check out some of my work.
Thanks and happy looting!

I have also put together a really great video which fully explains all the new DLC and updates which you can watch HERE

4th DLC "Bunkers & Badasses"

At the recent PAX panel they have revealed news about the 4th upcoming DLC that was said to be released in June and to be included with the Season Pass. Though not much is announced on this yet it is rumored that the next campaign DLC will be called "Bunkers and Badasses" as this is the name of the bored game Tiny Tina and the rest of the vault hunters were playing in the preview, this is also a reference to Dungeons & Dragons. This is said to be released sometime in June.

Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack

Also announced was the new "Upgrade Pack" which will be for the most part free other then the "Level Cap Increase" Thats right you will now be able to level up pass the current max of level 50 to a new 11 levels which will max out at level 61. This level cap increase will be free for season pass holders or cost only $5 for everyone else. Also to accompany this upgrade pack DLC will be the addition of a 3rd playthrough with tougher enemies and better loot. and speaking of better loot there is also going to be a new weapon tier added which will be called "pearlescent" which were a weapon tier from the original Borderlands found in the 3rd DLC "The Secret Armory of General Knoxx" This "Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack" is to be released on April 2nd.

Not enough space to carry all this new loot and weapons?

Not to fear, Along with all this amazing new additions and DLC they will also be making a Black Market update to the game which will allow for more upgrades and SDU packs to be purchased from Earl which is found in-game at Sanctuary. This will also be free and included with the above Upgrade Pack DLC and to be released April 2nd
Quote from AdamF on the Gearbox Forums
"There will be inventory/backup/storage increases in the update (Free update). More ammo SDU's will be available in the black market along with eridium maximums increased."

New Vault Hunter DLC "Krieg The Psycho"

The final DLC announced was a new playable character who goes by the name of Krieg. Krieg is a Psycho and will carry an axe type weapon which can be thrown at enemies. This will be the 6th playable Vault Hunter. It is said it will cost $9.99 and be released sometime in May.

So there you have it, allot of new "Borderlands 2" DLC information and what seems to be allot of great dlc coming in the next few months. I personally cant wait to get my hands on all of this stuff and go hunting for some new legendary weapons and kill some bandits.

I have put together a video which will explain in further detail everything here with some gameplay with it, enjoy.
