Best Borderlands and I've owned and still do all of them including presequal. It is like they took the best parts of all of the games and made a masterpiece. If you are just now doing a triple a not going to buy games move do it on another game. This one is too good and ties all of the story together. Literally even small told stories all make sense in the end. no spoilers here just all good fun.

Sliding seems to stop negative status effects like burning. Just discovered this earlier today.

[@viper13178]

thanx for the tip

[@daydreamdirty]

It’s also a faster way of traveling too. Not really useful in escaping though as there’s very little to slide under. It’s like titanfall 2 though when sliding off of stuff as you seem to get a boost in speed.

[@hoofhearted4]

Can't say Ive once used the slide feature. Jumping is still the best way to move on combat haha.

Heres a tip: be aware of what elemental damage you are using. Its like rock-paper-scissors, fire beats flesh, shock beats shields, corrosive beats armor. The color of the enemy health bar correlates with which elemental is best against it. If you are using the wrong elemental, your damage will be greatly reduced.

Love the ease of use and ability to try a bunch of different stuff. Also something that wasn't mentioned is that it's based on how much money you have, so if you go back and buy a bunch of SDU's and a gun or something, then go and respec, it will be way cheaper.

I've got one, if your inventory is full and you don't really wanna pick up a bosses loot for whatever reason, you can leave it (provided it's not stolen by other players in competitive mode) and gain them from the Loot Dispenser on the Sanctuary, it saves a record of Loot provided it's Blue or higher and the machine itself's not full and gives them to you there, just saves some time with selling other guns etc

More tips that were probably obvious, but maybe not: • Weapon Trinkets are equipped by selecting the empty square to the left of your weapon in the Inventory Screen (I seriously didn’t figure this out until accidentally hitting left while looking at a weapon’s stats... at LVL 30) • FL4K’s pets will annoy you after a while. They walk around in front of you when trying to interact with items, chests, etc., they will bump you around when they get close, and the Jabber makes noise constantly. They are indispensable for solo players but they will ruin emotional moments (nothing like a touching scene punctuated by my Jabber walking straight through talking characters making noise) and just generally get on your nerves outside of battle. You’ll love em’ at first, and then you’ll wish there was a way to tell them to stay. • You can use the Lost & Found system as extra storage for weapons you want to sell. Blues and above will go to the L&F on Sanctuary so instead of picking up a blue or above that you know you’re going to sell just leave it on the ground (you can view the weapon card without picking it up by just putting your reticle over it) and it will end up in the L&F when you head back to Sanctuary. This does not work if you pick a weapon up and then drop it, so leave it be. You can expand your L&F via SDU upgrades. • Technical issues exist but some people experience more than others. PC players seem to be the hardest hit but I had some doozies those first two days on a X1S. Now it’s just menu lag and the occasional mission glitch that at most requires a quit and reload. I’m sure I can think of more but I need to get back to playing.

How is telling us that fl4ks pet is annoying a tip? Haha

[@mrtiddles4408]

YES TALES FROM THE BORDERLANDS YOU DEFINETLY COUNT YOURE SO AMAZING

[@jionmionskwisgaar1476]

1: best borderlands ending to date 2: biggest character deception in the borderlands universe (Typhon DeLeon) 3: legendaries are just commons 4: 4 main vaults 5: you can infinitely slide cancel without jumping 10: I ran out of ideas.

[@akacowboyfan]

This was awesome! Thank you sooo much! I knew a lot of it but the pinging and the crew challenge were new to me, I post walk-throughs and this will be very very helpful! i'm adding a playlist of tips and your's will be the first!!! Subbing for sure!!

[@nategreatgames78]

Based off the early mission where Ellie tells you how to find the red chest I feel like I’m missing a lot of hidden loot, I see all these weird markings on walls and stuff and I know they have to be there for something

[@bnab7834]

As a Veteran player I can say this an accurate video. Only forgot 2 things. 1. Pick up weapons all the time on missions and sell them 2. Check the “missed loot box” in sanctuary for guns you may have missed or can sell for quick cash 💪💪🔥

[@chilliophillio1645]

I wouldn't waste my time watching a video that talked to me like I couldn't figure out picking up guns = money.

[@Phallica-js7ht]

Lost loot*

[@TristandeRobillard]

Pro tip for Moze players: Just spec into the orange tree and unlock the fists for Iron Bear (the mech). There is actually little point in unlocking anything else, because when you get pissed off you can just run around and punch whatever it is that's annoying you IN THE FACE. Why would you not want that?

[@inucha5]

I’m absolutely happy I found you guys. You guys are the Walmart of gaming for info news how too ect ect thanks for all your hard work

[@flute136]

im saving all my goldenkeys for when iget to 50 on my character. no use in getting a low leveled one to just replace it by a green at level gun that performs better because of level damage reduction

[@AmbientDisguise]

Oh dang, that last tip was actually game changing, thank you so much!!!

[@matthewsheridan4858]

Just started playing this, in the area after you get the ship. I was falling asleep playing this game, some of these tips will definitely help me move along

[@eganwyzel8357]

For Xbox and Ps4, Weapon shortcuts are unassigned. Head to "Customized" in the Controller section and scoll far down until you see it. Hope this helps

😳 ...I'mma do dat

[@solara2966]

Sadly it removes your Ping system and side scrolling of the quests. I got used to it now, I just spam triangle/Y until the right gun appears

Be nice to have a weapon wheel like Doom & other games.

[@buckaroobanzai2551]

To apply weapon trinkets you go to the little box to the left of your equipped weapon in the menu and select them from there.

[@TheShadow4884]

You can empty some of your items out of your back pack by dropping them off the map, it goes to the lost loot in the ship

[@0trevorbelmont046]

My piece of advice to new players explore the maps for a little bit so you can find some chests that way then collect all side quest you stumble upon and the do them before any main, mission that way you get good gear and level up a bit and by the time you're at the boss you can melt them easy peasy

[@Todesnuss]

I've actually gotten into a groove of respeccing nearly every time I go to the ship in my first playthrough.

[@alexalphonse2559]

I love this build! I just now got the nova berner sheild. Took a while to get the one that was in the video. But I have everything else

[@jhon1406]

things i don't understand the game doesn't talk about: - are the percentage weapon stats on the bottom of a gun already factored into the numbers above? - what is splash damage + how do i do it? (for the Amara skill) - how do the overheat weapons work? if you unequip them, do they regenerate bullets?

[@taylorsps12]

Splash damage is any explosion. Grenades. Rockets. Torque weapons. Crits on mozee. All of the above.

[@dimitrijetokovic5086]

Ive always wondered the same with the +x% damage on weapons. Is it already factored in or do we have to add that on ourselves to know the true stats

[@aierleoncorek]

Overheat weapons fire until the heat meter maxes out, then you have to do a quick repair which will reset the meter. The ammo comes directly from your backpack, but does not regenerate

[@Blazingwheel]

6:30 the best character skin is the default one, no changes to anything because everyone will change their character leaving your character unique. ;)

[@raskult]

Genius

[@pranavjagdish]

Shoot the Cube rotating in the middle of the map in Desolation's Edge (Nekrotafeya) - with different elemental guns for each face of the cube - the cube will then drop a lot of loot and vanish (and won't re-appear). Of course, Do this on level 50 for best loot.

[@michaelweston3349]

Super useful. Thanks guys!

[@mindmaster323]

You can fast travel from anywhere on the map to almost anywhere else. Like, You can fast travel from Athenas to Pandora from the map menu without a fast travel station. If you leave a car somewhere, you can go all the way across the map then fast travel back to that car. You can also slide into barrels to knock them towards enemies and shoot them out of the air for extra elemental damage from environmental hazards. It doesn't come up often, but it looks flashy and you feel cool doing it. Respecing is easy and I recommend doing so often as you level up if you find skills you want to put points into that you can't or because you find stuff that better synergizes. Playing Fl4k, the Stalker and Hunter trees are devastating when used together. The skill Hidden Machine might seem useless, but in conjunction with Fade Away you get up to 30% extra damage for free, on top of all your crit bonuses.

[@batman96160]

Note: the level scale only happens is you keep mayhem mode on. Or go to true vault hunter mode. Also a thing I wish that was mentioned: weapon manufacturers have different things that make them special. For example maliwan has a charge up before firing. Tourge has slow fire speed. Hypirion has slow reload. So not only should you space out your weapon types but also your manufacturers. Because those seconds of reloading can make all the difference

[@DjPruneJuice214]

Helpful vid bro 🤙🏾

[@guy3nder529]

Actually I have found some guns on Marcus that lasted me several levels. Also when it comes to side quests I'd say it's better to try out stuff during the first playthrough, ezpacially as it would make it a bit easier with more levels and stuff. After you camplete the story you also unlock true vault hunter mode which allows you to replay the campaign with the same character and tougher enemies. Maybe better to rush through that one. Up to you though.

[@mickdanger1434]

The game should tell you to bring a magnifying glass for splitscreen in order to read stats and text

[@lcambero]

Mick Danger head over to accessibility and max it out. Hope that helps.

I think cause of me being a veteran borderlands gamer these were pretty simple tips lol but I think it’s just because I’ve played so much borderlands

it's for newcomers for sure

Except in BL2 it was totally reasonable to have like, 3 smgs and a shotgun lol.

[@joe-ljustinfloyd6667]

Weird flex man

[@lainecallahan8977]

Do you think it may be because of the amount of Borderlands you’ve played? You only said it twice in one sentence so I wasn’t sure.

[@jamestemple4128]

Quick tip when your gear is getting under leveled put your favourite guns in your wepon vault in sanctuary and sell whatever else you have rather then just swapping it for new gear

[@MarquesLKing]

Thankyou sir, very helpful for new and returning players.

Wait 10 things the game didn't tell you or 2 things the game didn't explicitly tell you and 8 that are explained in dialogue or mission objectives but we didn't pay attention to

I find it to be way way easier than the older games. I’ve went back to BL2 now and much prefer that

[@ryancee7]

I just figured out you can press down on the dpad and switch elemental types on some of the weapons. Shock to Corrosive or Corrosive to Incendiary. Huge help when I figured it out lol.

[@tommyq374]

The game told you this at the start and then shows it on your hud and on weapon discriptions lol how did you miss this?

[@coltonmullis8880]

Pick up high tier guns to sell later at the vending machines. It can get a little overwhelming with inventory space, but just try not to worry too much and just drop stuff if you want to pick things up.

[@Mooshkajoe]

You will periodically have weapons mailed to you in game, sometimes just from gun makers for using their guns. These will always be at your level upon being mailed. 1. Got a level 50? Got a bunch of trash 50 guns in your mailbox? Want another character? Claim those guns on your new character and sell them off for a nice starting bank. Also, people forget you can trade in game. This includes money. If you got a level 50 sitting on millions of dollars, trade that money to a friend, have the friend go to Sanctuary, and roll your new level 1 character, and het your money back and buy up your SDUs for a solid start. Also, do not finish Zer0's crew challenge. Save one until you hit 50. That way, you'll get a level 50 Lyuda in the mail. One of the most sought after weapons in game.

[@xXDEJAwarwickXx]

Another one is that you DON'T need to go to a fast travel beacon to actually fast travel.. you can just open your map and fast travel at anytime.. I didn't realize that until like lvl 15.
