Easier way to obtain these Gaige Skin heads?

[Mirukahia]

Well, I've been killing Henry for at least 5 hours non-stop to get the Metal Blood skin, yet no success, it only has dropped 2 siren heads and Krieg's so far. Also the Drop Rate is incredibly low (even i'm with the +5% rare drop boost relic). XD WTT for some 5 golden keys lvl 40?

Also the Wayfarer Wizard skin is almost impossible, the Shift code doesn't work anymore and those ~##@@!$%% dice boxes (using 2 dice throw) are drivin' me mad. Is there any place where I can fast travel to a nearby dice box -> Quit & save > Return to nearest dice box?

Don't tell me: Kill the dragons and open all those boxes, JUST NO, PLS.

[EDIT UPDATE] Henry dropped the head skin. Now, any tips onto the Wayfarer Wizard head skin one ? (NOT THE DRAGONS FSS)

Are you sure that the Shift codes don't work anymore? They're still included in the list in the pinned discussion here, and the orcz.com page says that they still work.

If you're checking the dice chests, the first thing is to _not_ pay the Eridium to roll two dice. You're only hurting yourself doing that, and paying 5E a pop to do it. :-) You need to roll a 2 or a 3 -- A roll that would produce white loot. Then, there is a fairly small chance that one of the heads or skins could replace one of the white items. If you roll both dice, you greatly decrease your chance to end up with a 2 or 3.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of a dice chest that is really close to a load point, and easy to get to. It's been a while, but I think there's one at the end of Lair of Infinite Agony, but I think you have to beat the Sorcerer's Daughter before that one can be opened. If you're a high enough level to handle her quickly, that might be an option.

Honestly, The Winged Storm is your best bet, just because of the sheer number of chests. The odds of getting a head or skin seem pretty low, so the more chests you can open, the better. Of course you have to be able to beat the dragons first, but once your level is far enough above theirs, that's easy. If you're not there yet, your best bet might be to wait and come back when you can handle them easily.

1- Yeah, i'm totally sure that the codes don't work. Even I went to the Gearbox web and copy them into my Shift code window letter by letter. Altough, it says "Sorry, but the code you have entered has already been redeemed." but none of my chars has any of those Head Skins, no Witch head for Gaige and no "Dark Souls / Solaire" helmet for Axton. About the codes pinned around here, already redemed most of all, got the Moxxi's set Skin.

2- Damn, i've been rolling two dice, my Eridium wallet hurts.

3- My mechomancer is lvl 40 (good weapons from the Sanctuary Stash // no anarchy tree -> Completed BFF tree and some on LBT) and already finished the Tiny Tina's Assault DLC. I only need to kill the Dragons Raid boss , but those still a pain in my ass, I get rekt by those easily and even with my Rocketlauncher that does 60k base dmg, I just could stay alive with their HP bar on 60% (using also the defense rune)

(All for just 2 skins.. omg hahaha , meanwhile others seek OP weapons)

I'm gonna throw this out there, just to cover all of the bases: Are you sure that you entered the codes for the correct platform? Codes for one platform don't work on another (although I don't know if you'd get the "already redeemed" message if you tried a code that was for another platform). Like I said, just covering the bases.

FWIW, you get around 80 Eridium every time you kill the dragons, so, when you're ready for them, they're the best way to refill that "Eridium wallet". :-) And, once you've beaten them and turned in the mission, you can go back, pay the 20E to get back in, and then after you beat them (and check the chests), you can exit to the menu and reload, and fight them again, without having to pay the 20E to get back in.

I can understand the desire to get a head or skin now, but even if you could handle the dragons now, it could be a while before you actually got a head or skin, and then there's a good chance that it could be for another character. So it's probably not going to happen soon, IAC. With that in mind, maybe just put the head search on hold and come back when you've leveled up a bit more.

Or try the In-Game Trading sub-forum and see if someone can just give you one. If so, that would certainly be faster. :-)

It's ok to cover the basics (Idk why ppl get offended with that too much), but yeah, PC codes. If I enter a code from another platform or Pre-Sequel ones I would get something like: "This code was not made for Borderlands 2" or "This code is for use in other platforms".

I tried these ones on the gearbox web and succesfully redeemed:

> http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/community/articles/1101/borderlands-2-spooky-character-skins

but this one, (the one that holds the Wayfarer Wizard and other cool head skins) , yeah.. It says me it has been already redeemed (possibly I put that code when I was gettin' all the codes from the pinned codes post here) but yet, it didn't gave any single tiny new pixel.

>http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/community/articles/1074/borderlands-2-dragon-keep-heads-shift-codes

To be clear, I have Borderlands 2 GOTY + Mechromancer Supremacy Pack + Creature Slaughterdome.

Also, i've redeemed other skins/class mods/ lotsa keys / with no drama. It's just, THAT witch hat.
It seems that the game wants me to put down those dragons a bunch of times, and yes, i know how the rate on BO2 works (at least it's not like playing Lineage II drop x1 to get a mat / farming 8 hours for it)

Thank you Waste of Skin.. ( O.o dat name) for the reply and tips, gonna level up to 45 and try again those Dragons. I didn't know about the 80 eridium drop, that's ... well... Ya-hoo Tiny Tina's Slotmachines here I come!. D:

... (possibly I put that code when I was gettin' all the codes from the pinned codes post here) ...

The codes are supposed to put the head and skin items in the inventory of the next character you load. If you have multiple characters, it's possible that the missing items are just sitting in the inventory of some other character.

If you happened to make a character save file read-only for some reason (eg. to farm a mission reward), and then loaded that character immediately after entering the code(s), the items could not be saved with the character and, if you didn't use them right away, they would just disappear when you exited to the menu. I'm speaking from experience there. I entered all of those Tina head/skin codes at the same time, then loaded a character to farm a mission reward. I realized some time later that I didn't have any of the heads/skins (which is why I've paid so much attention to how often they show up in the chests :-). I've opened hundreds of dice chests since then, and haven't got all of them yet.

You see, the thing is that I had a Zer0 before but I deleted it and even before having a ShiFT account. Then when I bought Bo2GOTY with all the goodies in November promo, I started "clean", no characters, just Gaige.. And I began with the ShiFT stuff maybe when Gaige was kinda lvl 20/25. There ain't no old savefiles too on "My games/ Bo2 folder .. random number bla bla". Also I cleaned the old Bo2 (Non Goty, default old game) from my Registry , every entry.

Also I .. O.o whut? Farm mission reward? ... Didn't think on that one but that's a nice tip btw.

Still, as I told before, I did mostly all the codes that are here on the pinned thread , all in the same exact moment, practically i got everything except THOSE items. So, either it bugged out and didn't gave me nothing but it believes that my profile indeed got it OR Gearbox said to me: "The moral is:you're a total ♥♥♥♥♥", so GG, go ahead and farm dragons ='( haha. Or the codes don't work anymore (Gonna test with a friend that bought the game yesterday)

[Waste_of_skin]

I don't know. I guess it could have been some kind of glitch, but it seems unlikely that it would only affect those particular heads and skins.

As for farming mission rewards, there are at least a couple of ways you can do it. I prefer the read-only method.
Complete a mission and go to the place where you turn it in.
Exit the game and make the save file read-only, so that the game can't record it when you turn in the mission.
Restart the game, load the character and turn in the mission.
If you get something that you want to keep, put it in the Stash (and if the Stash gets full, have another character take stuff out of it).
Exit to the menu, select the character again and reload, and turn in the mission again. You have to select the character again, to get the game to re-read the character data from the save file. If you just use Continue, the game remembers that you already turned in the mission.
When you're done, exit the game and remove the read-only flag. As long as the file is read-only, no new character data (completed missions, challenge progress, etc.) can be saved for that character.

I'm having the same error but this is a year too late~

[Mirukahia]

Oh my god, already a year? hahahahah, geez with my life.

Ehmm buddy, I got the skins but the hard way, I tried days non-stop farming til they drop.

[❂︎ Thot Prime ❂]

darn was afraid i'd have to do that thanks though~

[RockyMMXVI]

just incase no one has said it yet, the vault hunter relics rare loot chance boost is pretty much useless

[❂︎ Thot Prime ❂]
