Yes! got the achievement. It was so funny!

Hey, finally finished the game. The ending was pretty bad, but the story's not the reason I enjoy the game.

Anyway, I want to finish all of the quests I didn't do. Are there any side quests that are past level 28 or 30?

Alot.

Middle of Nowwhere bounty board, New Haven, Old Haven, etc. There's some odd 130 side quests and like 30 main story quests.

What level were you when you finished the game? My friend and I have done all the sidequests so far and are around 35 and we are just getting past the fortress area or something like that. The middle of nowhere bounty board has a TON of side quests that take you all over.

I was level 35 as well when I beat the game. I was just hoping there would be higher level side quests. Like, it would be awesome if there were level 40 side quests

Highest quest in your first playthrough is 30 or 32 something like that. Your suppose to finish the game in the 30-38 range and start the 2nd playthrough from there.

I started the second play through at about level 38 and whew I'm glad I have my assault rifle! So far the game is pretty tough this second time around and is really giving me a great challenge. Just nine more levels!

To me they have higher health and respawns seem to happen alot more quickly.

For me, the crazy part is the large number of enemies thrown at you. You really have to be a lot more strategic and use more than your favorite gun in some situations.

A bounty board always seems to appear in the Arid Badlands in the middle of the map but I've never been able to find it. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug in the game or am I just blind?

No. I spent hours and nothing is there. It just appears on the map, no quests nor any indication from claptraps to go to it.

Well, I don't think ill get the millionaire achievement, as I have easily had over 6mil of money go through me. Finished First play through at lvl 35. 2nd play through is where the game gets fun and hard. The weapons power are insane as well.

I hope they put a higher lvl cap or something though. I just see it getting stale once I hit 50 and have only weapons to look forward to.

All true but they give better loot. I'm enjoying it more the second time around.

That's what I thought as well but so far, the loot has been just as crappy. High level stuff but nothing has been better than what I already have unfortunately. I still have to use the same crappy shield from my first play through.

Sounds like you'll have to do what I did. Just friend a friend who is on the second play through for example (or late in their first one) and have them give you a ton of loot on a newly created character.

how powerful is your shield? i found one that protects for over 800 points when combined with the correct mod, it was just in a skag pile on a mission to collect the tannis tapes, even online with high level players i havnt found another shield with better protection.

good machine guns with more than x1 elemantal seem nonexistant, all the x2 ones i found so far have crappy damage or clip size :(

I just started playing this game with one of my friends. We both saw a gameplay video, and decided to buy it on Steam.

Problem is, we're that similar we both made the same class. Ah well!

We've just arrived in New Haven. It's excellent so far.

This is a really fun game, just got to New Haven, only been playing single player so far. I've been using the same guns since level 12, somehow I managed to pickup a sniper rifle, shotgun and repeater, all with 5-10x the normal rate of fire.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By sagum · Posted

      This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI

      Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.

      A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.

      Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.

      They've told outlets who got review units that it isn't. Partially because they believe that contributes to closed ecosystems. GamersNexus also believes this is because Valve's fighting a monopolistic practices lawsuit in Europe right now. They've also never subsidized any of their past hardware efforts and well, they definitely aren't subsidizing the Steam Deck right now.
