Science Boosters

[Shockwave]

Can't find information on how the boosters work.

Are the bought and kept in inventory until used or do they take affect instantly when purchsed? The wording on the buy page suggests they start the moment you buy one.

Does Butt Stallion milk affect rewards for everyone that dies or just mobs killed directly by the person who has the buff?

If It only works for the person who kills... can I buy a booster for coop partners I play with?

When you buy one it starts immediately and lasts 1 or 2 hours. They can't stack, you can only have 1 on at a time, they only apply to you, and buying another only refreshes the timer.

That's what I figured but didn't want to waste buying one if it wasn't that way for someone reason.

Bummer you can't buy them for your partners playing I've had more time to grind the science game then they have.

Most likely the reason. The more people play, the more data is gathered which gives the science people more results to compare and contrast (or whatever they do with it).

the loot booster does apply for your partners tho as the generated loot is instance wide or however you would describe that..

on the other hand you just gotta get into the science game once and after that every match gives you enough points to buy a booster or 2, you get like 2K+ points just quickly rushing 1 game

Not if I have to be the one to kill them. I wouldn't call that "applying for your partners" It would only apply to me and then I could share what I kill with them whether loot is instnaced or not.

And no, unless you've spent many hours grinding up the science to max level, which they haven't had time to do, you don't get 2k.

I've been doing these Borderlands Science minigame since it was introduced. Completed each character, one per 1-2 days, and ended up with 200k+ points.
Doing a quick game there occasionally, just to stay above 200k mark, and keeping on buying boosters (little extra experience for guardian points), slowly brings me to 300k. ¯_(ツ)_¯

It's not many hours activity, and I certainly wouldn't call it a grind.

no it does not matter who kills them the loot booster applies to all in the game

Many hours? No. 1 Hour? More likely. just gonna hit the minimum cap for the puzzle and then move on, By the time you arrive at tannis where you do recieve the 2K per match you probably already have a few 10Ks
