Borderlands is too easy??

[Jarron]

I am new with borderlands so maybe i am missing something.

me and a friend started playing this game. i am zane he is Sirine.

when we started it asked if we wanted to play story mode or normal. normaly i play on hard mode for a bit more of a challange. we choose normal mode. everything went fine i found a lvl 5 true monocle it oneshot almost everything with a crit i dont know what my friend was using. it was fine pretty ez but not boring. but now i use a lvl 22 babymaker++ and my friend has the same weapon but doesnt use it. and the game is so ez we had a bossfight and the fight was done in like 10 seconds. (dont know if it was a joke or not it had a healthbar and was in a theathre)

Will the game get harder or not? see online you that get a harder mode after you beat the game is that true? is there another way to get it we dont want to beat the game on ez mode just so we can have a bit of a challange.

or should we just stick with bad weapons i would love to know if it is just us or because we play coop or something els and what can we do about it

rush mainstory firstly then start the real vaulthuntermode as new game+ there you can also enable some chaosrank. belief me you will never say again bl3 is to easy. it only needs to finished once, befoire the real fun starts.
until chaos rank 4 you can be careless about gear or your skillset, sadly also wihtout any challanginge situation. but then you will run into, "oh i shoot all my ammo into 1 enemymode". next gap is chaos rank 7, here all loottables are enabled and you can farm nearly every weapon. with chaos rank 7 you should go step by weapon to chaos 10/11 if you handel this mode solo you have finished the game. depending on your hunter and if you use some glitchedbuild you will need 300-500 hours.

yea its nothing like the old borderlands where we use to get our first legendary weapons around 15-25 lvls this happend because there was alot of crying babys that has claimed drop rates was so low. Now even with a fresh save you can even get a legendaries from vending machines and bacily one shot everyone.

Luckly there is a mayhem mode you can speed run the main story till the end and then restart from the true vault hunter mode i would say mayhem 4 is decent difficulty to start and after items started to drop you can go up till mayhem 11. And thats when the real end game begins, means you are gona farm alot of items just to be able to stand a chance againts raid bosses then you are also going to farm the raid bosses. End game is only grind tbh

Borderlands 3 is just easy.
For difficulty:
You can either play on easy or normal mode, and once you have finished you unlock true-vaulthunter-mode - but that is useless as it barely changes anything.

You further have the option of enabling Mayhem-mode which is the defacto way of playing the game: You can select 1 out of 10+1 difficulty-levels/modes, The higher the mode the better drop you get, starting with MH6 there are also exclusive weapons that do not drop at lower difficulty levels. basically it increases the enemy health to absurd levels and adds annoying effects like the ground under you starting to burn and dealing damage, but also increasing the Xp/loot you get.


If you want a challanging game then look at the other games in the franchise.

this happened because of game-"journalists" that were too braindead to finish a tutorial-level (and that was the reason why we got gamergate)

Some legendary were way too good and their drop rates were incredibly low. You basically had no chance at soloing higher OP levels without those weapons. Many people including myself used 3rd party programs to get these weapons. I understand the decision behind easier legendaries drops but what they did is basically killing the looting aspect of the game. Getting legendaries are no longer exiting, anything below orange is just money to trade at vendors. I turned my bank to a Pokedex for legendaries that I'm most likely not going to use. Minibosses shouldn't have this much legendary drop rate and vendors should never sell orange weapons. They did so many wrong decision in this game at least the gunplay is fun.. If I weren't overleveled for most of the main story because I decided to do 2 side quests.

Its easy on hard too.

I already got two yellows at like level 7. one is literally so strong its too dangerous to use at close range. It kills like an m1 flamethrower in a snowball war, and explodes enemies. now every gun is immediately obsolete.

i think this game is just the right level of difficulty at max level mayhem 11, but using non-legendary weapons (legendary items in non-weapon slots ok)

it still isn't hard, but it feels more satisfying because you see your bullets gradually depleting the enemy health bar, so you can "feel" each shot doing damage

meanwhile, if you use legendary weapons, it's all over in the blink of an eye (especially with non-bosses)

it's like the difference between swallowing a good meal vs actually chewing and savoring the taste

EDIT: it's like those games where you intentionally choose the slow reloading gun just because the reload is more satisfying

at the end of the day, it's not a competition we're paid to win... we play purely for pleasure, so sometimes using the weaker gun and taking longer to kill the enemy is more satisfying, well, that's the case with me anyway

You can try the "Redux mod". it for example got completly rid of anointments, buffed enemies, etc. Extremely recommended.

There is no character named Sirine. I think you mean Amara who is a Siren.

Zane the Operative
Amara the Siren
FL4K the Beastmaster
Moze the Gunner

Since things were balanced for the end-game, a early legendary vaporize stuff. Like, all snipers earned a 20% boost at some point.
Then there is the scaling of Mayhem. Since once it is max out the ennemies need to be kill a 100 times over, base damage of weapon is pretty high.
