Do i have to go through the ♥♥♥♥ing blood shot stronghold to get to fight the eye robot (done it with the help szun)
Is there away to fast travel to the boss fight since you can fast travel away from it. The only reason i fast traveled away from it was because i ran out of ammo when fighting the boss and i couldnt find a vending machine. And i dont want to go through that ♥♥♥♥ing drag just get to that boss and have no ammo again

Why? Bloodshot Stronghold is one of the funnest parts of the early game. RE: runinng out of ammo...

1. Be on level par with your enemies.
2. Have gear that does decent damage.
3. Don't spray and pray.
4. Aim and pick shots and bursts carefully.
5. Use nades.
6. Match elements for the task so that you dont use more ammo than needed.
7. Open and check every single thing.
8. Pick up all discarded guns even if they are trash so you can get their ammo.

Hmm. I've done it dozens and I still enjoy it at any level. Don't know what to tell you. If you don't enjoy the game don't play it.

Funny thing, you know you can run back to where you came in there and there are vendors there. The fast travel clearly has the no U turn thing to show you can only go one way on it, out, no return. Better learn that, it is not the only one.

I have NO idea how many times I have done that with all the toons I have played. Still think it is fun. You MAY should consider doing something else with your time if you don't like playing this game.

No brag, just fact, but I had no idea there was a thing about going to another location until I read about it on this forum. The next time I did it, I waited until it happened, I really thought someone was BSing me.

Just run backwards to the last ammo vendor it's no big deal. You can do this in most every setting where you'll run out - most travel stations are one-way so you'll learn these are pretty common in the game. There are also certain arms that offer ammo regen so these can be time-savers and actually life-savers.

It's an ARPG that escalates in difficulty with higher levels - farming becomes a critical and necessary game function by the 60's in UVHM where it's standard to try killing certain enemies tens even 100's of times for certain drops. If you hate doing it now, you'll hate it more when it becomes necessary. PS Yes, you can cut curners by installing third-party software or by begging friends or etc for desired items but it's best to be self-reliant and install gibbed to make whatever you want whenever you want it. If these corner-cutting options seem distasteful, that's understandable and maybe this ain't the best game for you. But lots of time spent on these repetitive functions does become necessary by the game's higher levels and it's best to be aware of it now rather than later.

It's ok, I don't like BSS either, my fav parts are after I reunite with everyone in flying sanctuary. The best locations in my opinion are wildlife preserve and caustic caverns, both you can go to after that

Kid, no one's asking you for thanks on the forums but when someone answers a detailed post you gave four hours earlier, you needn't be sarcastic that they didn't answer fast enough for your taste. Next time you're inspired to flip off the community with the obvious lie that you "did it ages ago" spare us the effort.

so am I the only one who never had a problem with my playthroughs at this part of the game? it is a hard part of the game yes but me personally had no problems with it at all.

best advice is to do side quests until you can overpower your enemies and get good gear, you should be around LV 13 - 15 right? you could do the pirate booty dlc first

The point is that BL2 is an ARPG.

Re-running areas is something we do all the time. Most people run it at least twice per character, per difficulty. More if they like it, and most of us have more than one character.

If you think doing a zone three times is a lot then maybe this isn't the genre for you. Seriously, being able to do a zone over and over is a feature that ARPG fans actually like.
