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.

    • Meta announces a major leadership change at WhatsApp

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta announces a major leadership change at WhatsApp by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta has announced a major leadership change at WhatsApp, with Will Cathcart stepping down after seven years of leading the world's largest messaging platform. CRED CEO and founder Kunal Shah will take over as the next global head of WhatsApp. CRED is an Indian fintech company focused on creditworthy consumers. As part of the transition, Meta is also making a minority investment in CRED through its Series H funding round. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Will Cathcart will remain at Meta and move into a new role focused on building new products from the ground up. Cathcart led WhatsApp during a major growth phase, helping the app reach more than 3 billion users worldwide. He also played a key role in expanding WhatsApp’s business offerings while keeping privacy and end-to-end encryption central to the product. Meta’s Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox, said Kunal Shah was selected after a search for a leader who understands WhatsApp’s global scale and future potential. In a leaked internal memo, Cox described Shah as a “serial founder” and one of India’s most respected entrepreneurs, adding that he brings “entrepreneurial energy” and a strong product mindset to the role. As part of the Series H funding round, CRED is raising ₹8,550 crore, or about $900 million, in a round led by Meta. The funding values CRED at ₹43,239 crore, or about $4.5 billion, on a post-money basis. It is important to note that this investment will not give Meta access to CRED customer information. Kunal posted the following on X regarding his new role at Meta: Although Kunal Shah will be stepping away from his operating role as CRED CEO, he will retain his personal shareholding in the company.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By fishnet37222 · Posted

      It wouldn't be hard for me to turn off my TV, if I had one. For one thing, I never scroll Instagram. The only reason I have an account is because Meta created one when it merged the account systems for its various services.
    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
