No more broken skills it seems.

As for the new Genernal Knoxx DLC, it does NOT contain SecuROM, unlike the first two.

For a quick video review, IGN has you covered.

Gonna be picking this one up for sure. :)
 
Yay a company finally listened to their customers and removed secure-rom!

I don't like the increased emphasis on unfunny "mature" dialog IGN mentioned but I'll still probably get it to play with you Keero :) .

It's supposed to raise the level cap and be tougher than the other DLC but I don't know. I spent quite a while getting extremely powerful weapons so I still expect to blow through it with relative ease (which I don't mind as I get to use my collection :) ). Please observe my uber guns within the spoiler :p .
Note the below guns represent the creme del la creme of having thrown away dozens of legendary guns. The levels on some aren't displayed correct either as I had them equipped when taking the screenshot which lowers the displayed level. No hacks where used to get these guns either.

DL10_C_Pestilent_Defiler.jpg

Cuts through Crimson Guard like butter. I like revolvers best so either this or the masher below is my favorite gun.

DL10_Savage_Masher.jpg

1715 damage per trigger pull. Double if Mordicai's Gun Crazy skill takes effect making it 3430 damage O.o.

V3_Angry_Shotgun.jpg

Just fun with the extreme fire rate the below shotguns are better in general.

ZX30_C_Pestilent_Crux.jpg

Works well on Crimson Guard like the Defiler does.

ZPR900_U_Terrible_Bulldog.jpg

My best general usage shotgun. I've had higher dps ones but this is more balanced stat wise and has 20 shots.

DVL5_Fearsome_Volcano.jpg

I've got a sniper rifle collection but this is the best one by far.

AR24_Glorious_Havoc.jpg

It's too low in level now but this is the only really good machine gun I've found. Machine guns come in two basic types the "small clip, with scope, lousy lurching semi-auto fire and high attack power" and "large clip, no scope, full-auto and poor accuracy" . Typically either can be marginal but neither is great as the former lends it to midrange sniping and the latter is only good for close range. However only a few times in game and did I get a drop that had both a large clip, full auto fire and scope. Of those only this one had the stats to make it both accurate and powerful. Full auto, machine gun, headshots at range are groovey :).

HX_430_C Combustion_HellFire.jpg

The above is about the 6th version of that gun I've had and the best gun I've gotten in the game hands down. It does everything but kill flame enemies well.

I've got guns and mods that give me ammo regen on everything but rocket launchers. I also have high level collections of all Mordicai's mods, several revolver Equalizers, Eridian weapons and rocket launchers. I am still want a better shield though. I second wind to easily when trying to build up my experience with lame-o Eridian weapons and rocket launchers.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HAVE NO BANK THOUGH BECAUSE IT'S IN THE SECURE-ROM DLC (strikes anime I've just realized something death pose T_T :p).

I like that shotgun you have!

If anyone wants one of my guns I'll happily give them a copy (I just back up my save file and put it back afterwords no hacks or anything). Of course you may not want to as the best part of Borderlands is getting the drop yourself.

Ok Keero I own it now. I expect Keerage Karnage in the future :p.
 
Para and Kiljoy also own it too. 4-player ftw!

Would have to relevel up though, working on a fresh install. :*(

AHHH what happened hard drive crash? Did you not back up your saved games or something? T_T
Maybe one of the guys could give you a copy of their save file and you could just change the name. I know I wouldn't be to eager to have to play through the game twice more to get back to lvl 50 not to mention losing my 1337 guns O.o.

Bassman might be in for the game too I'll have to mention it to him next TF2 night.

Oooh! Thanks for reminding me. Yeah, I'm on a new HDD and Gator wiped my Steam backups before I had a chance to get them. Hello 40 gigs of game data. xD I DID copy over My Documents, so the 7 saves are in there. Rejoice!
