I can only imagine (seriously only imagine... I'm only level 9 lol), but I bet that must be crazy. I was so pumped when I finally got 150, right up until I went to snag some ammo and accidentally reloaded.
Someone was telling me that what they do is keep a gun on hand fully loaded to switch to for picking up ammo and activating things so they don't lose it.

That anarchy thing is gonna *** me over more then help I bet rofl ... I have a tendency to reload like a crazed person after a firefight.

OMG didn't see Mechromancer was out >:O Just started a game with it lol.
Think Tediore guns would be good for the Mechromancer? Chucking the gun after you finish firing seems like a fast way to reload. Gives some extra damage from the explosive also. And, they have reasonable acc for the most part.
Hmm... The action skill doesn't seem all that good. 60sec cooldown and can't deactivate robot early to shorten cooldown timer. :/ At least the Ordered Chaos skill tree seems badass.
EDIT: Okay, considering it was two shoting bandits, the cooldown timer is worth it. Also, it apparently TELEPORTS or some ***. >.>
EDIT dos: D: hit reload button. But I do have a shotgun with only 1 shot in the mag. With that other trait, "Smaller, Lighter, Faster", it drops to 0 shots in mag. That's kinda funny and useful for Anarchy
EDIT san: If you have cash to burn, you can use the target practice target in Marcus' shop in Sanctuary to get 150 Anarchy. Use a shotgun since they tend to have a low magazine size.

Well i should state that you need the bee from playthrough 2 so that you dont get the shield drain when you shoot but with the bee and my conference call each shot does somewhere around 500-600k dmg it looks like but tbh there are so many bullets flying around its tough to tell

Bee shield is an amp shield useful for doing large amounts of consistent dmg. Conference call is a weapon.

I am completely unimpressed if not a little disappointed with Gaige. After the hype and the wait, I expected her to be more well balanced and for Deathtrap to be more... I don't know... useful.
Good lord. He's so horribly under-powered. Especially when compared to Sal's zerking at higher levels or Axton's Sabre with a game changer active.
Edit: fixed weird changes my phone put up. 200th post :p

I don't know how you could think he is not useful. There are a lot of applications for him besides just having him killing a few extra baddies.
For one he can fly over most terrain, so you can sneak up to a camp, stand outside the wall and pop him, he will fly over and start killifying bandits, meanwhile you sneak around to the usual entrance while everyone is focused on him and ambush them.
Another thing I have found him to be quite useful for is *** Rakk duty. I hate rakks in this game and the shitty way they display on the HUD, so having him take them out with ease is a great boon in my book.
I will say this though, Gaige seems rushed, there is a lot of polish lacking with her that I hope they plan to patch up. Some examples (and this is just nitpicking) would be her dialogue being pretty limited and when standing idle she actually has no dialogue like the other Vault Hunters have. This will make me a sad panda when it gets to the point where she has Jack's voice because I found that standing still with Maya, having Jack's voice, led to some of the funniest ***in this game.
I really hope they work on her some behind the scenes, I would rather have waited another couple weeks and had it all ready to go myself, but you get what you get sometimes I guess.

On Zero with a good mod to Rising Shot I'm breaking 1mil+ per shot with five stacks and critting (+50% crit on my CC too).
Edit: Maybe it wasn't Rising Shot dialing it up as that's supposed to only apply to gun damage and not the amp damage (maybe they fixed it this patch), but the spread getting tighter as I fired faster. Still... 1mil+

I'm up to level 13 and I'm loving Gaige solo.
Deathtrap seems to just eat up enemies and Anarchy,... ohhhh. With 150 stacks you get +262% damage bonus, but -262% accuracy. I'd recommend getting up close with a shotgun so the accuracy doesn't matter and just tear the enemy a new one. I took out the constructor holding Roland before it could even build anything. Also a shotgun that can only fire once means you can't accidentally reload and lose your bonus.
Gaige is designed to get up close and personal with the damage+, accuracy-, movement speed+, shields+, don't expect to be sniping.
My quick guess at my upgrades. Aiming for Deathtrap abilities, duration & cooldown and anarchy+.
Also, diamond ponies.

I've been playing almost religiously and I personally have yet to find merit in Gaige with regard to my play style. I'm a slag Sabre type of guy. Having played Gaige up to 49, and respec'ing thrice to try to find a niche for myself, I just don't like how she plays.

Call me out of tune with the world, but I personally think the pony references are crap (that entire show/concept/subculture needs to disappear) and what I get out of her personality is boring.
The other 4 hunters are interesting in one way or another. Axton has that BAMF glory hound vibe. Sal is friggin' psychotic in a humurous way. Maya is on a quest to find her origins. And Zero is basically a more modern Sephiroth-type, only he's actually cool and doesn't exude pretty boy, emo angst. But Gaige to me is just a 12 year old boy in a high school (or college) girl's body.

If you 5/5 Close Enough and get a shotgun, each piece of buck shot has a 50% chance of bouncing to an enemy. Let's take Stalkers for an example. I hate them so much when I'm not Zer0 (can use my action ability as Zer0 to actually see them.) Otherwise, I'm just using a missle launcher to kill as many as possible quickly. On the Mechromancer, I can just have a shotgun equipped, jump into the air, and shoot the ground. Each piece of buck shot from that round has a 50% chance of bouncing towards an enemy. And it has a "lock on" feature. Even on invisible enemies like Stalkers.

Cerberus.Draupnir said: »So has anyone found a proficient way on how verimorphus spawns :/
Vermivorous the Invincible is a small chance for a Varkid to evolution to it. Have 4 players in a game for better chances and play on true vault hunter mode. Each Varkid that spawns is set on a rank to what they can evolution up to. It's roughly 1/160 chances that you will find a Varkid that can go to that form for 4 player co-op.
Limits on consoles: Badass Varkid x4, SuperBadass Varkid x3, UltimateBadass Varkid x2, Vermivorous The invincible x1. If a Varkid hasn't evolved in 5-10 mins then kill it. If you want them to evolve faster use Terramophus's Relic which gives an aura ability to speed up growth on certain enemys.
Vermivorous The Invincible has about 2x more health then Terramorphous and hits harders. Trust me that Varkid is tough... It drops good Legendary Equipment but no details I can find on them.

Anyone know how to get a controller to work with the PC version?
I can't find any options for it and it didn't seem to pick it up after I plugged the controller in.
