maybe its required to have also certain level along with badass rank no one knows for sure

It is limited to one per char( regardless of playthrough). Their is not a level requirement you just need over 2500*. Donno why you can't take it. << I have a level 50 on from true vault mode... with 5.5k when I took it too.


Edit: If you can't take it, I can just drop mine n alt-f4 assuming I don't lose it. Works with other items will have to test it :)

it also could be that you need advance a little in story but in any case since Break said something about alt+f4 you might want to watch this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV0AahOg3W8

Forgot to mention this was in TVHM where I'm lvl 32, so maybe there is a lvl req as well. I haven't tried to pull it in normal mode.

Thanks for the answers guys. I'll try it again when higher level.

You can only pull it once as any character i believe.
ncostes Nov 9, 2014 @ 6:12pm 
Ya I've never pulled it on any character (including this one). Maybe you need more than 5500 on TVHM.

That video linked above shows how to get it any # of times though.

I pulled it at around 2900 BA, lvl 50 tvhm.
Weeabo Slayer Nov 10, 2014 @ 1:16pm 
@ncostes it is after 2.5k

You can get it whenever you want assuming you have x amount of badass ranks.

Yes, you can only have it only once per char.

No, the level requirement is whatever you want. I could take it on my Athena in my first playthrough(melee aye ... still waiting til least UVHM this time around).

LIke I said, I can drop you mine n ill just close without quitin. My advice is to wait til your level 50 at least. It's not the strongest gun, pretty nice but get it at 50 not 32 ^^.


** If you want to get it x y or z amount of times its pretty simple that you need a co-op partner.. drop it to them and then just simply alt-f4 you game. ** It's exactly what I did when dealing with the grinder to get my conference call.

BAR 2500 TVHM, you must have done something wrong. Maybe cheated?

^ Ye, 2500 BA seems insanely low(for a tvhm) however who knows... :D I had 5600 at the end of my 2nd playthrough( I own BL2 ... too so count the additional 10 ranks from that).

If anything its a bug, after 2.5k he should be fine to take the gun unless he has took it before and not realised, thus meaning he can't take it again on that char.

Like I said before.. if you can't get it for whatever reason once your 50 I can drop you mine.

Isn't it 2500 BA Rank for the specific character picking it up? Like, if you got up to 4k+ with, say, Claptrap, then tried to pick it up with a relatively fresh Wilhelm, you couldn't do it, but if you tried with the Claptrap you'd have no problem.

So you'd have to have gotten 2500 BA for that other character as well.

That's how I understood it. Could be wrong.
ncostes Nov 10, 2014 @ 6:54pm 
BA ranks and their associated perks are account-wide (so you get the perks on any char on that account, and when you join regardless of which char you're using - including a brand new lvl 1 - it announces to everyone what your BA ranks are for your acct).

No worries, I'll try again later. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

I think the only data point we have here for TVHM is that SlackerBoe pulled it at lvl 50 in TVHM. I think everyone else pulled it in normal mode at lower levels.

I wander if someone else in your game during co=op pulled it and that causes you not to be able to pull it since it was pulled in YOUR game.. Like how some pricks can take side quests on second playthrough that your trying to save till the end so they get upleveled screwing you with lowbie side quests. (when you tell them hey don't grab sidemissions)

Has anyone tested to see if this is the case?
