What is this? Battleborn is a new MOBA-FPS by Gearbox Software (developers of Borderlands).
>Should I buy it? Don't let the artstyle put you off. It's a bit slow to start, but lots of fun once you get into it. Objective oriented, solid combat, good map design.
You can buy it for $30 on keysites if you don't want to pay full price.
The fragments do make it easier to hit with, particularly for targets that are above you (where you'd need to hit them directly instead of just shooting it at the ground and splashing them)
I imagine you could take the other talent once you get good at aiming the canister though

More lewds when?
Bentley Allen
Gotta look at Tumblr if you wanna see more.

Jordan Johnson
I don't want this game to die What do we do battlebros?
Caleb Bell
Keep playing. Keep posting.
Michael Gutierrez
Can we not be a small community?
Bentley Hughes
Is thorn one of the best?
She's the only one I've played since I started playing and in usually come out on top and feel like she has pretty good escape ability and insane damage
Angel Smith
I do hope this game gains more traction once the Overshill beta is done. I need my MNC fix and fuck Blizzard in the throat.
Joseph Davis
2K has so much money to throw at this shit.
I know so many console niggers who are always saying "AYO YOU GOT DAT NEW 2K MY NIGGA?"
They have to have billions from that series alone.
Luis White
I keked.

Hey OP
Link the old thread, bro
Games gonna have a small, niche community, Unavoidable. But it won't be dead.
Noah Fisher
So is it known if the Ghalt +30% pellets/spread upgrade increases his potential shot damage by 30% too?
Lucas Price
Yup, 30% increased total damage sources, so potentially 30% increased damage if you can meatshot someone.
Brayden Reyes
Thorn players are shitters.
Mason Rodriguez
Meatshot someone, like right after they hooked into a 2 second stun? Sounds like a plan. That one seems better than his slug upgrade for pvp, unless you're doing incursion or something.
Camden Adams
Excuse me?
Eli Hughes
It's amazing how quickly word has spread as to the Galilea/Miko OP as fuck combo. Every game now. Not playing this shit again until that cunt is nerfed.
Andrew Lewis
Gearbox did say "We heard you loud and clear" about that combo.
Jason Robinson
Old term, being close enough to all the pellets. Usually requires you to be super close to targets unless they are large enough (scout v heavy, for instance), due to spread.
Ghalt's spread isn't super wide early on, so it's not that hard to do. An example of the other side is Roadhog, who's got such a wide spread you can actually miss pellets on people that are close enough they block forward movement.
Henry Butler
They did, and I'm glad. It's pretty terrible at the moment.
Samuel Turner
I know the term, I was just saying it'd be super easy to meatshot someone even with the increased spread right after you hook them into a stun trap.
Jayden James
They meant Galilea, not the combo. She's the busted part, Miko is just the healer. Any character that ends up being OP, the OP combo will be them + Miko, since no other character increases life expectancy nearly as much as Miko.
Jordan Nelson
>t. Attikus
Justin Cruz
I'm talking personality wise. Thorn isnt unbalanced or hard to deal with.
David Jackson
Sorry, I misread. And ya, it's super easy to land multiple full damage shots after a hook into a trap. I certainly prefer the increased pellets over the slugs for PvP, and the slugs for PvE. Even for Incursion, the terrain density lends itself more to his close-range style than slugs.
Ryder Stewart
I feel like I'm the only semi-decent player on my team 95% of the time. This shit is worse than HOTS in that regard, everyone is just so fucking bad. I get a team of sub-level 10s, meanwhile the opposing team averages and 20 or so. I hope they balance out the matchmaking a little bit more in the next update.
Noah Reyes
That's a pretty dumb thing to say, user
Jose Torres
What do you go for, stat wise? Weapon damage, attack speed and CD reduction?
Liam Brown
>not liking Jungle elf, soviet union edition
Chase Cook
If you mean from gear, I like damage and reload speed for him, because I like taking Both Barrels Blazing (double shot). The burst potential is obscene once you have that, and if you're preparing ahead of time, you dump the first 2 shots for his extra damage tactical shells, so you'll only have two before the reload (unless you pop ult instead of reloading).
Cooper Reed
Fat chance of any of you being here but are there any xbone players who wanna play some time? I can't stand randoms who don't work together.
Ryan Collins
So what do you think is the shittiest of all characters?
Is it Whiskey (insert middle name that starts with T) Foxtrott?
Is it Kleese aka the flying Chairman?
Is it the slave from Tempest, Attikus?
Or is it the sub-zero grinch known as Kelvin?
Or is it the Penguin, whose Mecha was directly ripped from Titanfall, except they made it shit?
Your choice, Veeky Forums !
Daniel Mitchell
these are all good characters, you're just a shitter
William Phillips
Kelvin the best.
Kayden Campbell
Whisky is arguably the weakest currently. I'd like to see his 3 shots go to four or five personally
Parker Gomez
>Whiskey (insert middle name that starts with T) Foxtrott?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, if you're using the phonetic alphabet.
Brody Foster
Toby, Kleesa, Attikus are all fine. You're just bad. Whiskey Foxtrot does seem unimpressive, haven't played Kelvin yet.
Jason Walker
>tfw so few lewds of Benedict >tfw no lewd Reyna
Why is being a Battleborn fag so depressing? ;~;
Jace Moore
Get freaking mutations He can legit shoot 3 incendiary nades
Aiden Brown
Wish he could take the incendiary upgrade and the scrap self-push.
The vertical accessibility and mobility he gets from that is what sets him apart from Oscar, but he really needs that incendiary effect on his stickies.
Dylan Brooks
We need more
Christopher Parker
Apparently this is OM's face.
Elijah Myers
anyone getting server issues? i keep getting "internal timeout error" and cant log in wat do?
Jeremiah Hernandez
The game should let you choose a story mission / map first, THEN find players. That way you're not stuck with the same damn one you don't want. I have yet to play on Coldsnap.
Jaxon Peterson
Gotta lurk more than just r34 sites, bud.
Eli White
I wanna give him a kiss and have him get really embarrassed about it.
Andrew Martinez
Whiskey's got a much more human looking nose.
Asher Cooper

Needs more Kelvin fanart.

It's hoot and holler. Not hoop
Julian Cook
it's pasta. lurk more.
Grayson Nguyen

Wyatt Gonzalez
Reyna lewds when?
Ryan Jones
I'm aware it's pasta. It still triggers my big A
Wyatt Bell
I made a Tumblr account specifically to dig through the Btb tag and see how much porn there was, and I hope you like birds.
Christopher Phillips
I don't even have a foot fetish and my dick is diamonds right now
Isaac Lewis
Kelvin is pretty fun, I feel he's more of a distracting character than a tank early on. Late game he gets pretty tanky.
Isaiah Parker
Overwatch isn't bad, it's like comparing Chess and Poker. Except one of the games is just a polished up version of TF2.
Juan Cox
Because you know your little stillborn game is being killed off and made irrelevant because of OW hype, good character design and polish.
Julian Cox
>good character design >overwatch kek
Daniel Perry
they come out about the same time and both map to "meme developer put moba characters in an team-objective-based FPS." thats alike enough for anyone who hasn't played either, and as you should know, no one on Veeky Forums actually plays the games they talk about.
i bet you still play diablo 3.
Isaac Walker
>tfw someone picks your main before you can
I'm lost
Xavier Sullivan
Feels good that I main Kelvin. Nobody ever picks him.
Brandon Moore
...
Ayden Bailey
I've seen another Mellka player like once, but that's gonna change as more people finish the story.
Trying to get good with Deande so I have another pick to fall back on just in case.
Noah Ramirez
Good luck with Deande. I didn't like her much. Trying to find another character besides Kelvin once I max out his rank.
Gavin Sullivan
Caldarius is fucking trash
Nathan Hernandez
>I got blinded and danced around all match
Jordan Jones
Well you could say BB is just SMNC with more characters.
Austin Stewart
You take that back you dirty heritic
Luis Butler
No. I mean playing as him. He sucks
Luis Stewart
>Have friend that i played SMNC with >He went to OW and i went with battleborn >Want to party up with him in battleborn and even offer to buy him the game >Goes full defense force saying it's not like SMNC and blizzard made a better game and battleborn is dead and 'muh deep playstyles'
How many people have you lost to shit games Veeky Forums
Ayden Foster
Buy me the game!
Jose Powell
Caldarius seems pretty similar to Mell, but I always have better results with him
Easton Mitchell

Luke Russell
Any US players wanna have a go on some advanced campaigns?
(Mainly Archive, Sentinel, and Saboteur, Sab last because Gearbox said they were gonna nerf it)

Adam Long
Calderius is a little better right out of the box, but after gaining some levels, Mellka is the much better hit-and-run agitator. Also, her ultimate, distance closer and rapid melee with venom bonus can spike dive a lone target in one combo swoop.
