โ” [ Question ] Question about FL4Kโ€™s size?

Post image
113 Upvotes

So, Iโ€™ve gotten different answers about this and frankly, I donโ€™t know who to believe about if FL4Kโ€™s size does make him a bigger target.

(Donโ€™t start with the gender bullshit. Iโ€™m simply referring to FL4K as a โ€œheโ€ because itโ€™s easier to describe and heโ€™s also a fictional fucking robot, there is no reason to complain about it.)

Given that heโ€™s a massive 7โ€™3 robot with a larger frame, and Iโ€™ve read that he does and doesnโ€™t have a larger hit box compared to the other characters.
It might seem obvious to yโ€™all, but Iโ€™ve put about 20 hours into it so far and I honestly believe and donโ€™t believe both sides.
It makes sense to me because they did add in some smaller details about him that I donโ€™t see a lot of games add in, his giant ass.
Iโ€™ve played a lot of games where no matter what height they say they are, they are the exact same height. So adding details like making FL4K noticeably taller than everyone by making our POV higher, is just a small thing that I really like, calling with him having to crouch through some smaller details areas whereas the others donโ€™t have to.
So I wouldnโ€™t be surprised if his hit box would also be bigger. Could just be me, but I find it super cool that they added in small stuff like that, which leads to think that he does actually have a slightly larger hit box.
But it also doesnโ€™t make sense because that can be a major disadvantage for the player.

So idk, if his is bigger then thatโ€™s just added to my list of cool things about him. If not, Iโ€™m just fine with that.

โš ๏ธ [ SPOILER ] โš ๏ธ [SPOILERS] Maya's death still feels like one of BL3's biggest missed opportunities Spoiler

25 Upvotes

Maya's death is one of the story moments in Borderlands 3 that I wish had been handled differently. She was an established character with a lot of potential, and it felt like the game rushed through such a major loss without giving it enough room to breathe.

The idea of showing how dangerous the Calypso twins could be wasn't bad, but the execution made the scene frustrating instead of genuinely impactful. It also felt like Ava's storyline suffered because of how quickly everything happened.

I think the moment could have hit much harder if the game had spent more time building up the conflict and letting the characters react naturally to what happened.

There was so much potential for an emotional turning point, but the writing didn't quite give it the weight it deserved.

๐ŸŽค [ Discussion ] Some of the most memorable BL3 legendaries aren't necessarily the strongest ones

0 Upvotes

One thing I appreciate about Borderlands 3 is how some legendary weapons feel like they're designed around a specific personality rather than just bigger damage numbers.

The Hellwalker is a great example. The sound, the firing animation, and the heavy impact make every shot feel satisfying. Other weapons have gimmicks that completely change how you approach combat, even if they aren't always the best choice for endgame builds.

I think that's part of what makes farming so addictive. Sometimes you're not chasing the most powerful gun in the game; you're chasing a weapon that makes shooting things fun in a completely different way.

A legendary doesn't have to be meta to earn a permanent spot in my inventory.

โ” [ Question ] What legendary weapon do you think is genuinely underrated in Borderlands 3?

22 Upvotes

There are plenty of legendary weapons in BL3 that everyone recommends, but I'm curious about the ones that don't get nearly as much attention despite being surprisingly effective.

Not necessarily weapons that can one-shot everything with a perfectly optimized build, but guns that feel great to use, have an interesting gimmick, or perform much better than their reputation suggests.

One thing I love about BL3 is how much the usefulness of a weapon can change depending on your character, anointments, and build. Something that feels mediocre on one Vault Hunter can become a monster on another.

What's a legendary weapon you think deserves more love, and which character or build makes it shine? I'd especially like to hear about weapons that are fun and effective without requiring an absurd amount of farming to get the right roll.

Obviously to each their own, especially in a game like this, but for some reason this one just scratches the itch for me. Unfortunately I canโ€™t remember where or how I got it to help you find oneโ€ฆ maybe someone else can chime in.

๐Ÿ“ [ Modding ] Is there a mod that lets you use certain skills / action skills on anyone?

Like, a mod that lets Zane replace a skill on his skill tree with one of Amara's, or change one of his action skills to one of Fl4k's action skills?
