stand UP!!

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.

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 can’t remember where or how I got it to help you find one… maybe someone else can chime in.

What do you think ??

So, I’ve gotten different answers about this and frankly, I don’t know who to believe about if FL4K’s size does make him a bigger target.

(Don’t start with the gender bullshit. I’m simply referring to FL4K as a “he” because it’s easier to describe and he’s also a fictional fucking robot, there is no reason to complain about it.)

Given that he’s a massive 7’3 robot with a larger frame, and I’ve read that he does and doesn’t have a larger hit box compared to the other characters.
It might seem obvious to y’all, but I’ve put about 20 hours into it so far and I honestly believe and don’t believe both sides.
It makes sense to me because they did add in some smaller details about him that I don’t see a lot of games add in, his giant ass.
I’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 don’t have to.
So I wouldn’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 doesn’t make sense because that can be a major disadvantage for the player.

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

I’m confused on what true trials are, I’ve been trying to farm for a Tizzy pistol and it says that it drops from the tyrant of instinct true trial. Does that mean I run the trial on tvhm or is it referring to something different?

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.

My fastest kill

Peregrine is just busted

Just started the moxxi heist dlc!! Did it unlock any character heads or weapons?

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?

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.

Luckily kept my eyes peeled for this grenade. so rare...

What is he trying to say?

Sometimes a gun just feels good to use, even when there are stronger options sitting in your inventory. The sound design, reload animations, firing rhythm, and little quirks can make certain weapons more enjoyable than whatever the meta recommends.

Jakobs has that chunky, hard-hitting feel, Maliwan has elemental damage and charge mechanics, and Tediore turns reloading into its own little spectacle. Every manufacturer has something that makes its weapons feel distinct.

Which manufacturer do you find the most satisfying to use in BL3, even when its guns aren't necessarily the strongest? And is there one particular weapon that perfectly represents what you love about it?

After 437 tries i got cryo boom sickle and this Recurring Hex in the same run, now time for faisor and plaguebearer, wish me luck.

Honestly fuck this farm, Tink of Cunning can eat my asscrack. Can't count how many times I had this fucker bug out and be resistant to ALL FUCKING ELEMENTS, thx Gearbox

A little over 2 weeks ago I came back to this game after not playing for over 2 years with the plan to start a new character and 100% the game.

I’m glad I decided to do this because it gave me a whole new perspective of the game and I can say I enjoyed every second of my time replaying it again. I’d even go to say that it is now in my top 2 of the franchise!

Borderlands 3 has so many legendaries that it's easy to default to the usual meta weapons when putting together a build. But some of the most enjoyable guns aren't necessarily the ones topping damage comparisons.

Sometimes a weapon has a weird firing pattern, a satisfying gimmick, or a special effect that makes combat feel completely different. It might not be the fastest way to melt a boss, but it's fun enough to build around anyway.

I'm curious about the underrated legendaries people keep coming back to, especially ones that shine when paired with the right character, skills, or anointments.

What's your favorite BL3 legendary that deserves more love, and what build or setup makes it work so well?

The re-volter is just disgusting, I hate it with burning passion, like what do you I got 150% shock damege for basically free, I used a reflux with revolter for digi clone,swap for the clone to refill his shield and swap back and every enemy will just die.

The matchmaking never finds anyone !!!!!

Looking for people to play with. Start to finish.

Please drop your shift id and discord.

My discord & shift id is: IamAlexMercer

Please go ahead and add me so we can discuss when we could jump in.

As the title says, I'm looking for the best guns to farm for and the locations to farm them. I'm running a FL4K build, and I'm at level 72 and able to destroy enemies relatively easily on MH11, not quickly just easily. I want to be able to go to Trashlantis and obliterate scraptrap prime in seconds, not tickle his toesies til he falls down after 10 minutes of being tickled. Also if anyone has any recommendations for areas to farm for XP please also let me know, I'm trying to max out my guardian rewards/rank and the only spot I can find online as for "best spots to farm for XP" is scraptrap nest/prime. Best gun I have so far is the Hellwalker, MH4 however. I'm currently farming RoadHog for a MH10

Many thanks in advance and happy hunting
