Out Riders Section[]

I would develop this section myself but dont know how to develop sections but i think there should be a section on the "outrider" enemy, the outrider is the bandits version of there vehicle...

Lockdown[]

We need to lock-down many articles for the wikia mostly because of trolls and little brats who are smart-asses A few of the articles that require the lockdown are Claptrap and The missions pages (which I had to fix a numerous of times)--Mishulover69 19:04, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

Hero, instead of Classes; Character Classes, not Names[]

2 Suggestions: 1. Can we change "Classes" on the homepage menu to "Heroes"? It's got a nicer, grander and nobler ring to it, that is how the characters were introduced in the "Meet the Classes" preview trailer, and it would foreshadow the adventures of the character (especially at the end). 2. The pop-up menu to "Classes" lists the names of the characters, not the classes they represent in the game. It should list is "Hunter", "Siren", "Soldier" & "Berserker". "Mordecai", "Lilith", "Roland" and "Brick" are actually the default names of the characters. Even if that's how they're introduced in the game and in the ads for the game, a) you can change and personalize your characters by giving them new names, and b) your character is never addressed in-game by his or her name: it's always "you", "stranger", "off-worlder" and whatnot. The Character Classes should have primacy, not their default names. (Forgot to sign...)--Mensahero 02:56, November 30, 2009 (UTC) I agree in principle however I feel that the name "hero" is not the best choice. There is not much about the characters that is particularly heroic; They are mercenaries, doing jobs for the rewards and the loot, never mind the business of stealing ammunition from people's mail boxes. The "Hunter", "Siren", "Soldier" and "Berserker" are the most fitting in my opinion. -- WarBlade 03:04, November 30, 2009 (UTC) I reckon the category should be called 'Characters' and characters should be referred to as their classes. --HybridDragoness 08:33, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

We could call it 'mercenaries' as that is what the characters get referred to in the game.

Co-op[]

Is it possible to play coop with 2 of the same characters or does each person need a different character to play coop?--71.194.190.109 23:08, December 23, 2009 (UTC)


Two of the same character type can be played together in co-operative games, yes. -- WarBlade 02:12, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Quotes[]

I see that we have quotes for people such as Marcus Kincaid, Scooter, T.K. Baha, Zed and so on, so forth. Even Sledge has his own section. So what I was wondering is, why not give Roland, Mordecai, Brick and Lilith their own quotes sections? If anything they'd have more than some characters. They have several lines that play when they get a critical hit, they say things when they help another player up, when they open a chest to reveal guns, and when they see health, etc. I've even heard Roland say "Burning daylight, fool" when I left him idle for once. It seems only right to give them their quotes sections.


Anyone with me on this? --Five Dog Talk 16:34, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

We need more "real life"articles[]

We need more articles like "borderlands" "Soundtrack", etc...



There is a LOT of trivia to be put on that kinds of articles.

Some kind of description, please?[]

For those of us who arrive here by idly clicking an advert on some other Wikia, how about some kind of brief description as to what "Borderlands" actually is? I rather assumed it was something to do with a series of books I read a while back, but obviously I'm wrong. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 17:26, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Newbie Glitch or ... ?[]

Hello, love your site - I use it constantly while simultaneously playing through Mad Moxxi and Robolution. Have completed all the other expansions twice before and am now lvl 61. Needless to say, it makes Robolution missions "Trivial" and all Arena missions are at "Normal" (lvl 61 enemies oye!). My game tells me I am playing PT2. I do not know what PT2.5 is. I only play solo missions (for now). I play PC version on Windows XP SP3.

Could not readily find whom the sysop was here so am posting this HERE hoping to get a response somehow on something that just happened to me.

In Robolution, where I go for quick missions in between Moxxi's time-consuming Arena rounds, I had just completed the killing of General Knoxx-Trap during Op:Trap Claptrap Phase One and was pleasantly surprised to find the virtual 'Vault' of weapons etc in the rooms directly connected to the place you go to do the second part of the Bridge thing (activate the console). Especially considering that I am locked (glitched) out of the ACTUAL "Vault" no matter how many times I kill the human General in his Devastator trying to complete "It's Like Christmas" because I had used the "vault glitch" and had dropped through the floor etc. Because I neglected to remember the rules associated with the glitch, I walked through the elevator shaft which marked my mission there as having "collected loot". I am unable, however, to enter the passage with the red walls - the large door (immediately after the BYOC door) stays closed everytime I've tried it after.

Anyways, earlier tonight I picked up the mission from Tarturus mission board to kill the 'robot chicken'. Went to Sanders, killed the chicken and was just trying to find my way out again whist grabbing anything shiny when I found myself at the place where that little metal bridge drops down for you (at the red weapons chest) after you exited the 'console room' (re: Op Claptrap Phase One) so I decided to hunt around, crossed the bidges and open area and found myself back in the 'console room' again. AND ALL THE LOCKERS AND CHESTS WERE FULL OF ORANGE, PURPLE, AND BLUE STUFF AGAIN ! So I got to handpick (again) all the best stuff from about a hundred different lvl 55-61 items.

Is this a new glitch? Or is this normal? General Knoxx-Trap was even seen through the door at the bottom, though when I went back down there a minute later the door did not open to show him again.

Anyone?

Cheers, SeniorSavage

I really still don't like the look of the mainpage. I think the mainpage doesn't go good with the theme and I think we can improve the mainpage even more.  MotW  Vortex  Talk 

I'm not the biggest fan of the mainpage either, but you don't see me importing templates from brother W'pedia or other random wikias and slapping them on there just because. As you may have been told many times before, if you wish to change a wiki-wide template or, higher beings forbid, the main page, start a subpage off your user space and lay out a proposal there. And on that note, the point of this topic is what, exactly?
Also, the new look is going to kick in soon, so why not wait for that? We have already voted on actual proposals which other people have actually coded, sampled, and asked the rest of the community for opinions on. Consider doing something similar.  nagy   talkScorpio-fulllog     09:36, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Claptraps New Robot Revolution Trophy/Achievment List Help[]

Claptraps Robot Revolution Trophy/Achievment List Help

This is the first time ive ever done a blog/forum for any type of anything. Just looking to get some fellow borderlands players input on the trophy/achievment list.

So...

I got my platinum trophy before any of the borderlands dlc ever came out. It was fairly easy as im sure it was for all you other players. I was able to get all the trophies for Dr. Zeds Zombie Island and The Secret Armory Of General Knoxx. Im about halfway through the trophy/achievment list for Mad Moxxis Underdome only needing to complete the larger challenges in two of the three arenas. My main focus right now is getting all my trophies/achievments for Claptraps New Robot Revolution. The only trophies/achievments I have left to obtain is the The Lubricator (found 25 oil cans), Bobble-Trap (collect 15 Claptrap bobbleheads), and What A Party! (Collected 3 panties, 5 fish in a bag and 15 pizzas). I dont know if anyone else out there is having trouble finding all these parts. I understand that all you need to do is keep destroying the claptraps in order to obtain these items but i have yet to see a single bobblehead and the panties and pizzas are almost impossible to find it seems. If anyone has any input or helpfull tips I would love to hear them and im sure if anyone else is having these issues they will appreciate it also.

hey,newbie here level 19 mordicai hunter so i have some questions what level do you sugest i should try to beat sleadge and with a shotgun or sniper,pistal,assult rifle,rocket lancher,and what gun.71.153.40.204 21:25, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

if available, i would go in with a shock launcher and switch to burning revolver when shield is down. keep an eye on his little helpers for a second wind, if needed. unlike bone head, sledge is beatable when you can get to him.   Dr. F    Chemicalweapon   Wordpress shovel   Boston globe bullhorn  22:02, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Not to sure on what the pros would do but both times i killed sledge i ran in with incendiary grenades and a combat shotgun. using mordecai i personally would use a sniper rifle with incendiary properties but it would be difficult killing him with a rifle seeing how theres not much room in the safehouse and you wont be very far from him.

The End is near???[]

I have been a fan of Borderlands since it came out and I have to say it has been an exciting and enjoyable game. I have also thoroughly enjoyed this Wiki and the many excellent and informative articles and opinion exchanges I have read on it. Sometimes immature writers have placed forgetable items on the Wiki, but that is to be expected whenever you have a "gathering place" that is free flowing and free thinking. Perhaps some of these more immature contributors have learned from the others and become themselves a bit more mature and better.

And my hat is off to the administrator and others who have assisted in keeping this Wiki such an excellent site. Kudos.

I have been checking regularly for news, any news, that a sequel, follow-on or next generation version of Borderlands is to be released imminently. Sadly I have read no such news and I fear this ride is just about over. I play Borderlands on an XBox. I have no desire nor interest in putting it on my computer, which I use for business, so I keep it separate on a gaming platform. I have seen where some enterprising players have developed ad-ons for Borderlands on the Windows platform and wish these were also available for XBox so I can keep playing Borderlands. I have played all the characters twice through both playthroughs and all the side missions. I mostly enjoy playing solo---sadly when I go out and join others who are playing, all too often players come on who lack the self discipline to share the joy and fun of the game, they arrive with rediculous modded weapons and shields and I usually drop out because it is just not fun that way.

But now I have played all the characters, I have found an abundance of weapons, some pearls but many exellent orange variants, and I have conquered all the bosses including Crawmerax time and again, all using legitimate methods.

But nothing new is on the horizon, so, as the title of this article notes, is this it, the end is near? 8mileshigh 14:21, June 7, 2011 (UTC) 8mileshigh

A wiki is meant to gather and display information about a game in all its forms, including the "Forgetable Items" that can be found in game. Anywhoo, have you tried playing End-User Created Content?

More DLC problems. Please help.[]

Hey guys, I need some help.

I have just downloaded and installed all 4 of the DLC for Borderlands on my PS3 and I can't access them.

I've had a look on the internet about how to play them and everyone says go to the fast travel and there will be new locations for each of the DLC. Unfortunately for me there aren't any new locations on my fast travel, does anyone know what I have to do?

I have 3 saves, all of which I started with out the DLC installed on my PS3. Does this effect it in anyway?


Some info about my saves just incase they effect how to play the DLC.

- A Siren class which I have completed the game with and have decided to do a second playthrough. I'm about a 1/4 the way through and is level 46.

- A Hunter class which I've just started which is level 5.

- A Soldier class which I've also just started which is level 9.


Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Any help will be greatly appreciated :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeahscott (talkcontribs)

I would create a new character and complete the mission Skags At The Gate. A new character cannot access any DLC until this mission is completed. That may fix your problem, if not let us know. Final signature 06:19, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

GEN knoxx dlc sucks, my opinion[]

I bought the general knoxx dlc last week and i hate it, those damn crimson lances always popping out of thin air, always getting banked by them and all the vehicles i can drive in the dlc only takes a couple of shots from the lance gun. And those prodes are the most annoying things in the dlc. And omg the traveling, why isen't there any outpost within the dlc to transport around the map the dlc map. the only reason to play the dlc is to get the best gear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomanay (talkcontribs) 17:54, 20 February 2012

try corrosive. try not to get shat shot @ while driving. probes dont like shock. fast travel is hardwired to the vanilla game. adding to it requires rewrite of the core travel system, by that i mean its not going to happen.   Dr. F    Chemicalweapon   Wordpress shovel   Boston globe bullhorn  01:54, February 21, 2012 (UTC)
Gen Knoxx received rewards for being one of the best DLC ever. I personally found it better than borderlands itself. The enemies are varied and original, Gen. Knoxx's humour is spot on, the world is giant and truly gives that "wasteland" feel. However, it IS challenging:
The problem appears not that you don't enjoy the DLC itself, but it is too hard for your character. FACT: Gen. Knoxx was designed to be done "late game" and by "late game" I mean once you have good guns. Don't try to force your way through. Take your time in arreas you enjoy, level up, search for loot... happypal (talk • contribs) 07:47, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

Use the vehicles to their full potential to get from point A to point B, don't mess around in them. You can cut back on travel time by exiting the game and returning to T-Bone junction. You can skip side quests that you don't need to level and do them after level 69 to break up travel time. Treat probes as a nuisance that you kill last unless they are close (easy target). Use Damage Over Time on probes for when they fly away. If you get an anarchy honed on their critical, they die rather quickly (most things do). Final signature 08:31, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

Time to update the featured video?[]

Hi guys. I just heard about and watched the Borderlands 2 Release Date trailer. Borderlands was my favorite game of 2009, and I've been anticipating BL2 ever since then. Can't. Freaking. Wait.

Anyway, I immediately came to the wiki to see if news of the trailer and release date had been posted. It had, of course. I just wanted to suggest that it might be a good idea to update the Featured Video section by replacing the old teaser trailer with the new release date trailer.

Keep up the great work! I'll definitely be using the wiki again as we approach September 18th. JoePlay WikiaStaff.png (talk) 16:38, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Clean up in preparation for 2[]

I'm going to suggest cleaning this page out a bit, I mean this is a nightmare for trying to edit the front page or getting ideas upon layouts etc. The posts about waiting for Borderlands 2, opinions upon DLCs and such should really be moved.

Don't just say its because it's not a profesional page, the idea of a Wiki is that its easy to navigate and edit.

I think the drop down bars on Borderlands 2 need editing to reflect the same choices on the Borderlands drop down (Items--> Artifacts, class mods, shields etc)

It just needs to fit the House Style. Will probably need new pages, not a split for the same page (especially for things like Artifacts which are completely different)345tom (talk) 18:03, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

Borderlands 2 Lootable Objects?[]

Since I try checking and I only get Borderlands 1 Lootable Objects. 92.232.39.157 15:04, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


I just wanna say that I beat the game on 1st play through last night. Perhaps it's playing as Maya, or just bad luck with guns, but I didn't enjoy it that much. I found it to often be tedious and the jokes too frequent and forced, as though they tried to just squeeze a lot of them in.

The new grenade mods are awesome. As for guns, again it may be my poor luck with looting, but very little seemed much different than the first game. And no mashers? I died a little inside when I realized this. I was always scraping by with crappy guns. Perhaps another play through on a different character will improve some of the loot drops.

I don't have experience with it myself, but friends have told me that playthrough 2 has loot that's roughly 3-4x better, so maybe that makes up for it.

We're well aware of how out of date and messy things are. Pointing out the obvious is no more helpful to the cause than the sarcastic reply you got. If you'd like to pitch in, that might be useful. -- WarBlade (talk) 12:03, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

Well, why aren't you the right person to ask to edit articles? You know the articles are out of date, so that means you are in possession of information that is not on the wiki. You would also appear to speak the English language. Finally, you posted on this talk page. This means you know your way around a wiki. Heck, you even signed your comment! So why not participate? Everything helps you know.

Worst case scenario, if you *really* don't want to edit a page, you can say on that page's talk why it is out of date. happypal (talk • contribs) 14:17, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

Hi everyone.  I've visited this wiki for quite some time and made a handful of minor edits, but I've been wanting to contribute on a larger scale.  I bought the guide for Borderlands 2 (Brady Games) when the game first came out.  

My questions regarding this are:  

  • Is it okay to use the guide as a source of information?  
  • How closely can I translate information from the guide to the wiki?  
  • Do I need to cite that information?  If so, are there guidelines for this somewhere?

I apologize if these are questions which I can find the answers for elsewhere.  I saw "When in doubt, use the Talk page," so that's what I did (:

Hate to be a beggar, but I need help.[]

Hey PC Valuties,

Posting a request like this is a last resort, believe me. I've farmed for weeks for a handful of specific legendaries and I've come up with nothing. If anyone has a level 50 skullmasher, infinity, or leech grenade and is willing to dupe it for me then I would be extremely grateful. Add me on steam if you're willing to help.

Thanks very much,

Sections to be cleaned?[]

Can we clean up/archive some sections of this main borderlands talk page? some of them should have been forums in the first place or do not apply anymore (like this one if it is done). Trig Anomaly (talk) 10:05, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

I have put the proposed "asked and answered", "should be a forum", "should be a blog", "no intrinsic value" list in Talk:Borderlands_Wiki/Archive. The real cleanup would, of course, include actually deleting/moving stuff from this page. Trig Anomaly (talk) 10:58, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

I have (poorly) put the proposed Talk Page down in a sandbox. I will work on cleaning it up. Trig Anomaly (talk) 10:27, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

I have figured out the "source" of the problems :D Trig Anomaly (talk) 08:57, February 20, 2013 (UTC)

I will look over everything carefully before I start archiving (deleting actually since the archive is "done") Trig Anomaly (talk) 11:22, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

Change For Character Skins Pages[]

While going through Borderlands 2s character skin pages, I noticed that they all don't really follow the same structuring, which makes the pages look messy and disorganized. So I came up with a few suggestions to neaten and uniform the pages up:

  1. Use graph/info box/whatever you wish to call it to organize the heads and skins (like Maya's skin page), starting with the default heads/skins, then the unlockable/drop ones, and finally the DLC ones.
  2. Color code the skin/head name in accordance to its rarity.
  3. Under the skin/head name, have how you obtain it.
  4. For the pictures, with the heads the skin worn should be the default one, and for the skin pictures, the head equipped should be the default one. For both, all equipped items should be removed for the picture.

Does anyone else agree? Soren7550 (talk) 23:56, May 25, 2013 (UTC) Yes, standard format should be followed on all pages that are alike. This was moved to a forum for discussion. Final signature 01:06, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
