Welcome
Hi, welcome to Borderlands Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Talk:Circle Of Death: Final Round page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- JoePlay (Talk) 21:09, November 3, 2009

Right.
Why are you categorizing all my weapons as hacked/modded? --Nagamarky 01:49, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Added scopes and/or changed stocks cause the previous ones looked effed up. Don't think I touched my shotguns though. Will go categorize them now.

Those I've touched have been categorized appropriately. I found another one one or two nights ago, I don't think they're a disabled naming convention.

They're not Cyclops sights, they're the normal ones, Sight.sight5

Yup, I can't stand Cyclops 5.2x zoom, it's too far in for my playing style, usually play medium range. I just added good sights and stocks, can't be bothered with the rest since the base damage isn't too bad.

Yes, but
The book is about an island of monsters get it? and the obvious play on the word Dr. and the island reference, it may not be what it is but it is possible.

Oh i see now im sorry about that i misunderstood you.

Hey I was wondering if you're the creator of this weapon, and whether it's pre 1.30 or not, I've been trying to figure out how to get sight.sight3 on Machine Guns to work, so far I haven't had any luck. SpootKnight 04:57, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

images needed for this wiki:
jaynis kobb sera guardian gurdian spectre arch guardian scorpio turret

rocket turret kroms turret lance royal guard rakk all var skags and every goddamned thing in the secret armory

and all this time it was F8!!! Thank you HybridDragoness thank you.

I might not be able to screenshot some of these enemies quickly as I have already killed them, and they don't respawn. --HybridDragoness 05:25, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I added images for Taylor and Skagzilla. If you want one of Skagzilla doing his beam attack, I have one as well. --HybridDragoness 05:41, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

looks great! i got roid rage psycho. does it look too dark? it looks fine on my pc but very dark on my mac. Dr. Clayton Forrestor 06:13, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * i changed it. Dr. Clayton Forrestor 09:02, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Here's the pic of Skagzilla's beam as you requested: If you would like me to crop it and remove the enemy tag with a clone stamp, I'll do that. --HybridDragoness 07:15, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

do you know, i would, just to see that it can be done. i am using paint shop pro and my skills are somewhat limited. i have saved this image so you can replace it if you like. good shot by the way. and im afraid you have created a monster as i seem to be uploading pictures madly. if yours are better by all means replace them but its just so much fun filling in all the blanks. Dr. Clayton Forrestor 07:30, December 7, 2009 (UTC) oh and thanx for the tips (no weapons)

Your pics are pretty good, and I have a lot of... stuff... to catch up on in the time being, so I'll leave your pics for the time being. Most decent photomanip programs have a clone stamp function. Used correctly, it can be used to remove enemy tags. You're welcome :) --HybridDragoness 09:26, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

_that_ is awesome! you might even consider replacing your pic on his page as this is more descriptive. thanks for the tip about clone stamp, PSP9 is pretty old though. Dr. Clayton Forrestor 09:52, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks :). btw, I added a new Scar image.... with tag and UI removed and all. I have no idea why Scar wanted to taunt me at some point... he pointed his rear end at my character haha --HybridDragoness 10:16, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

maybe he doesnt eat photographers ;0) -Dr. F Sounds plausible. I see you stuck many more good pics of bosses up on their pages... are there any more enemies which need to be screenshotted? --HybridDragoness 05:26, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

Your graphics card
What graphics card do you have in your computer. Turns out mine is outdated and I need to buy a new one.

Rawwar13 05:53, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

As it turns out i have received a gtx260 as a birthday present. this will replace my xfx 8800gts (an amazing card if you can get one). i personally recommend cards with high memory bandwidth >256bit. ati cards use faster ram but i have been enchanted by the high band mem 8800 which has only 320MB vidram. to play the game an old Nvidia 9xxx will do nicely, look for features though as none of the 9series cards have high band mem. that said i feel i should also mention that borderlands plays on my htpc (1.6G atom NvidiaION) albeit at low settings. look @MWave and Amazon. for reviews cross reference with cnet.com. <+> Dr. F.

RED GUNS
it is done through modding the gun (obviously) so of course you know that certain parts increase rarity, stacking these can get your rarity number pretty high they can go as high as cyan that is the highest level for rarity can't remember what that color is used for however this link can help

http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=86800

i think the person that stumbled on to the weapon dropped by one of those lvl 50s he was playing with thought he found some thing new and rare but just found a modded weapon instead. Wylde bil 06:36, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

King Wee Wee
Don't you find King Wee Wee right at the end of Tetanus Warrens in Playthrough 2.5? I'd assume that he'd be there. -- Claptrap 11:24, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hm, if that's the case, then I'm not sure where you'd find him. Since I don't really know of where else he'd spawn...to take a completely random shot in the dark, how about that place by New Haven where you get attacked by a Mutant Midget Psycho out of the container during the Jaynistown missions? Highly unlikely, but he's about the size of a Mutant Midget Psycho and looks quite like one, so it's worth a try. -- Claptrap 20:07, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Hunting King Wee Wee in playthru 2.5
Ok been away for a while, just logged on and got your message: basically you don't do the king wee wee sidequest in playthrough 2 (taking the quest is ok, just don't kill him). Wait until you killed the destroyer again in playthrough 2. Then everything, including the quest monsters, will be level 49-51 i.e. playthrough 2.5. Now you go and kill him and he will 100% drop his lvl 48 booster, and SOMETIMES drop the lvl 48 The Spy (for me it is once out of two tries, maybe I just got lucky). Quality varies, as always.

He never respawn after you killed him in playthrough 2, so just don't kill him early. It is really easy to miss the lvl 48 booster and The Spy. Soma4themass 06:28, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I made an account. So now, to add you/Fen, would I add your emails or what? -- 00:10, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Or we could add yours. I'd rather not share mine publicly. 00:12, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Dr. F, by "by email", you mean I should email you my email I used for it? -- 00:18, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * We need the email address you sign in with. It's like your username. You could also try adding me: -removed- (Edit that out once you read it) 00:22, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Alright, I'll add you. I'll probably email you guys my email (using the "Email this user" option) to add me. -- 00:24, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * this is what i was referring to. probably best to have one of us add you.  oops, disregard


 * Roger that. 00:25, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wait, it's only letting me add a contact from "Jabber", "Googletalk", or "Livejournal". Which should I choose? -- 00:26, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * THat's unusual. Why don't you just give us the email address you registered Adium with? Also, I just got a message from . Was that you, by any chance? 00:27, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

(resetting tab level) Yes, it is. I didn't send you a message, though - I just randomly picked "Jabber", punched in your email, and hit "Add to Contacts". -- 00:29, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but now it's telling me I need some Google-related service :/ is that the email you used to register Adium? If so, I'll try adding you. 00:31, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yep, that's what I registered with. -- 00:32, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just added you. 00:34, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Out of curiosity, does it say I'm online? It says you're offline. -- 00:35, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * It says I can't message you. You're on my contact list, but I can only email you, and it says you're offline. 00:36, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hm. That's odd. I'll try messaging you (even though you're offline). Regardless, I'm going to be gone for a little while now - I'll be back in a half hour or so. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- 00:38, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's okay. Me and Dr. F are checking to see if it's a compatibility issue. 00:39, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hyperion Userbox
I improved the image quality of the Hyperion logo, and adjusted the userbox as you suggested. Did it come out like you expected? I'm thinking of doing it with the S&S and/or Torgue logos, though change the left side color of the Torgue logo to silver. What do you think?

Ive always wanted to help make a wiki :)
Im an avid Boarderlands player and have already downloaded all three DLC's and I hope to help out with the new Secret armory pages.

Hello. I was woundering if you were a moderator for this wiki. If so I have an Item I need to discuss with you.

Thank you

DethMetalDrummer 02:33, February 26, 2010 (UTC)The Secret Armory of General Knoxx: Monster Edit
Read you message about there not being any gun trucks in Avatar, and I hope this clears up some issues, but at the beginning of the movie when they arrive on Pandora, as Jake is getting off the transport, you see a 6-wheeled truck with a mini-gun turret drive by in the distance, just before you see the huge dump truck, and it bears a strong resemblence to the Monster. If you don't believe me, watch that scene and you should see it if you look close enough, and they had a screenshot of the gun truck from the game tie-in in Game Informer magazine, issue 196. Trust me, I did my research when I posted that up, just to make sure I wasn't seeing things or posting something that didn't exist. Hope to hear back from you.....

K1ngMea7wad - Eridian Weapons page editing
Hey, was just stopping by to ask for a bit of help, and letting you know I think the Eridian Weapons page needs some additions, but I'm not all that sure how to use/edit the wiki properly. The, "Eridian Splat Gun", "Eridian Rolling Spatter Gun", and "Eridian Firebomb" should probably all be added to the list. The "Eridian Rolling Spatter Gun" I found yesterday during my last round of the Circle of Duty: Medal of Duty and it fires a corrosive projectile that then continues rolling for atleast 2 more if not 3 more times causing more corrosive damage. Also I uploaded the screenshots of the "Eridian Splat Gun" and the "Eridian Firebomb" (the Legendary one) to this page: http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Eridian_Firebomb. Please help, thanks!

K1ngMea7wad (again), I made a page for each of the three new Eridian Guns I've found. Thanks for the help, hopefully other people will come across these guns as well and be able to edit the articles to make them look better, but for now what I made will have to do. The 3 I made are the Eridian Firebomb, Eridian Splat Gun, and Eridian Rolling Spatter Gun. I don't have a screenshot for the last just yet because I just found it today, but I will get the pic for it up as soon as I can.

A quick answer
I would say that's bullet and rocket damage etc. (Damaged caused by pulling the trigger). Just a guess.--wadjet2 22:25, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah.--wadjet2 00:07, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

I saw a post not to long back about a "pearlescent" Bessie Sniper Rifle. I have yet to see it posted in the Sniper section. I found it interesting because that is a nickname that some military snipers have for a specific kind of rifle. At the end of the first season of NCIS the female Secret Service Agent Kate is shot with a "Bessie" by Ari. It is also explained later that the "Bessie" was Agent Gibbs preffered sniper rifle.

Why has my page been deleted?
Hello

Today i made a page on borderland wiki about a pearlescent gun which had yet to be recored on the wiki, i was wondering why has the page been deleated?

individual weapon pages are prohibited. model unforgiven is already documented. unforgiven unforgiven is a modded weapon and not supported by this wiki. if you would like to advertise your possession of this item please do so on your user and or talk page. thank you.

Hey, Can you deal with this? I made a account so i can revert this tools changes to the wiki, But i've done all i can really do, are you able to clean the rest of it up and ban that IP?

PT2 Claptrap SDU's
Hey man, it's K1ng. I just had a quick question that I needed verified because I was unsure about it. I still have my mission for returning the repair kit to the claptrap in the Scrapyard in my playthrough 2. If the "First 5" is exact, then it's the very last claptrap I need to get an SDU from, as I'm at 63 inventory spaces currently. If I were to progress my story, but keep ahold of that mission/the repair kit, am I still going to be able to go back and turn it in? If not, and progressing the story past the Scrapyard ruins the chances of getting the SDU, then I just shafted myself by going to Krom's Canyon pretty much, which I also have the claptrap repair kit for, and plan on trying to debunk the "first 5" theory, but I guess we'll see how long I last in trying that 'cause it's a long distance to continually reload, I'm even getting fed-up with the Scrapyard one, as I've tried atleast 20+ times already. Please get back to me on this, I'd rather not waste too much playtime. I guess since I've already progressed my story I'll just continue on and hold the repair kit until I hear back. Thanks in advance. - K1ng 03:30, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Need help moving template back
User:Swampfire has apparently moved Template:Mordecai Build, twice I think. And then screwed with the default values for the different skills. At any rate, I can't figure out how to move it back. Help? Thank you, I appreciate it. 31stCenturyMatt 07:39, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * i cant tell if swampfire was trying to replace mord template with post knoxx by dalek, or replace both templates with his own build though i suspect the latter. anyway its protected now and if dalek would like post knoxx protected we can do that too.   14:08, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Dahl Penetrator
Dr. Clayton,

Is the Dahl Penetrator a Glitched weapon like the S&S Draco or is this the way that it has always supposed to be? I found a Desert Penetrator on an Armory run and I love it. IMO, it blows the Hyperion Invader away for all around use.

I am the Keeper of Useless Knowledge ~ Proven Mayhem 12:08, March 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * The only way the Draco is glitched is that it never spawns as a Draco, with its title and unique accessory - only the accessory spawns, indicated by a x3 or x4 Fire elemental. The Penetrator always spawns with both its title and unique barrel. --Nagamarky 12:52, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

But aren't they both still glitches? One doesn't show up with proper naming, coloring and flavor text. And the other has all the things that make "Legendary" weapons legendary, a sniper with a barrel that fires full auto (when the only thing that comes close is the Hyperon Invader w/ 5 rd burst and is legendary) and flavor text, "Sniper killer, qu'est que c'est?". If I had to guess: The Draco has a coding issue that doesn't allow it to read properly. The Penetrator has an issue very similar to the "Psudopearlesent" weapons in that something in the name coloring is off and it should be the Legendary Orange.

I am the Keeper of Useless Knowledge ~ Proven Mayhem 20:44, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

In my opinion, these weapons (along with the old white pearlescents) are a message to tell you not to ignore loot that isn't purple or orange. I thought that this was the reason they didn't patch it last update, and the Dahl penetrator, from what I have seen is more uncommon than most oranges. I've found upwards of 10 defilers, and loads of equalizers, volcanos and other oranges and only 2 penetrators. Steel _  Crab  20:58, March 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * first off i agree with all of you and thanks a ton for pitching in your input. the penetrator is blue/purple on account of the barrel being barrel1 basically and barrel1_penetrator was never upgraded to orange rarity(too much work i assume). legendary weapons are orange because the rarity value of their special parts _plus_ the rarity value of their name. cyclopi and thanotoi overshot the mark and penetrators fell short. on a side note the penetrator is good for bad situations being a b4||$ out damage machine and the invader(executioner) is good for bursts in _tight_ groups. and i like steel_crab's take on the overlooking habits (say it with me folks "always look for red text" ). 22:00, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

I agree completely with Steel and our Good Doctor. I just hit level 61 last night. I have only seen one penetrator so far and I have another toon not far behind on the 61 race. My Desert Penetrator puts out 340+ and has 8 rds in the clip. Now this may not sound that impressive until you realize two things: 1) it is a sniper rifle and 2) it is full-auto...all the time. lol My hunter uses it as the most leathal assualt rifle in the game for the sheer fact that all of his sniper skills and class mod abilites stack on top of a truly nasty rifle.
