Borderlands- 4th DLC confirmed

[CleverTangent]

I love the new DLC. I got kicked around a lot at first, but I've managed to kill everything without much difficulty. I haven't gotten far enough through the story where I actually enter and supposedly blow up the armory, so Crawmerax sounds like he's going to kick my ass regardless of my level.

I'd be be down for taking him out later with some people, since I probably won't be able to do it alone, I guess. (I'm a level 57 hunter who relies on a Defiler/Equalizer combo to spread around lots of corrosive damage). My gamertag is CTangent.

This game... confuses me.

I can not for the life of me tell if any of the weapons I find on the ground are better than the ones I'm using. I have no clue what to look for. I see some with more damage, but then I have some weapons that says "56" then flashes X2 (or in my shotgun's case, X9), then theres the elemental damage, which my pistol does X3, so I never know if another pistol is better.

I'm only level 11 right now.

Any help or tips on what to look for?

Understanding what makes a weapon good is the hardest part of this game.

Damage that flashes to "x7" or some other number is the number of projectiles per shot. Shotguns almost always have this property (some fire rickets instead) but it can appear on other weapons, too.

You want a good balance between damage, fire rate, accuracy, and perhaps zoom. Huge damage is pointless if you can't hit your target or can't shoot quickly.

Elemental damage can be very confusing. In general, Corrosive is good against armor. Fire against flesh. Shock against shields. If you aren't sure which weapon is better- test them out and see which one kills faster.

I thought a number and then x# was that base damage multiplied by that number. This is to save room to not write out a huge number. Was I wrong?

Question about the new DLC for all you Borderlands people out there.

So I bought and loved Zombie Ned. Played through all the side quests, got all the achievements (and the brains) and absolutely loved it. I wasn't too fond of Underdome, though. Seemed lacking of any real substance other than "fight these baddies, fight more baddies". I also really don't have patience to do an entire arena in one sitting, so I didn't play too much of it.

I've been hearing that General Knoxx is the best DLC yet, but also that hardest. I'm a level 50 Hunter on my 2nd playthrough, mostly with a Bloodwing based strategy. I do find though that I don't have much loot (gave my Double Anarchy away when I hit level 50 ), and I have a feeling that I'll get incredibly frustrated with this DLC. I also really disliked all the driving segments in the main storyline, but they were few and far between so it didn't bother me much. Do you guys think I'll have a good time with it?

Also Clawmerax intrigues me. Even though I won't be able to beat him, he seems like a major badass.

EDIT: And more DLC is on the way! http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-4538-Take-2-CEO--More-Borderlands-DLC-Coming.html

So anyone up to help me and my 2 buddies out with Crawmerax right now? None of us have any idea what to do, so we'd be very grateful for the help. I'm a level 61 soldier and there's a level 61 siren and a 55 sniper. Send me a message on Live and I'll invite you.

EDIT: We're doing some other stuff now. Maybe some other time.

So I've been trying to be creative with Crawmerax recently by trying to kill him solo with my Hunter. I'm losing tens of millions of dollars, but I'm thinking that it is feasible for any class to take down Crawmerax solo. (I haven't actually done it yet, I've run out of ammo a lot.)

I've seen two non-siren methods to take down Crawmerax:

1) Upon coming up the lift, immediately sprint to the northwest and hide in a little rock outcropping near the cliff. There's some sort of glitch here that makes you invisible, so no enemies will attack you, and you can shoot the weak points at your leisure. For the weak point on the back of Crawmerax, take a weapon that ricochets bullets (In my case, an Orion) and shoot the rock to the left of Crawmerax. If you hit it in just the right place, the bullets will ricochet and hit his weak point.

2) Same general process as above, but with a different method of hitting the weak point on the back. Get a Leviathan launcher (The reward for the quest in Treacher's Landing where you have to go fishing with grenades, also sometimes dropped by the Rakk Hive. Unlike regular launchers, its rockets are affected by gravity.) and point your launcher near the top of the cliff, shoot, and pray. It is definitely possible to hit the back of Crawmerax this way, but without a Support Gunner Soldier it's really, really easy to run out of ammo.

I don't know who came up with either of these, or else I'd give credit where credit is due...
