Battleborn Geeneral /BTBG?

BattleBros Edition

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.

I wish I had friends.

I have acquired funny chair man.

Why on earth would anyone ever take this "fire all at once" mortar upgrade, it turns a precise and long range tool into wet diarrhea.

Who's best girl and why is it Orendi?

If you take that and the upgrade that makes it drain your shields for additional damage, it becomes a ridiculously damaging explosive shotgun.

I chose it because I literally have no idea what I'm doing when I play him. Chair Man seems pretty hard to use, especially because he is so fucking squishy.

>level 25

>a party of four 35+ guys and a random level 3
>their team is ISIC, Miko, Gally, Marquis, and OM

I did not know it was possible to lose that quickly.

But if you take the one that drains shields you're making yourself a primo target. Kleese has shit health.

Kleese should always be in his nest of shield generators, so the tiny moment you spend shieldless should not be a huge problem.

>Why is perfection best girl?
You answered your own question.

It took a few matches of getting stomped to get good with him, but now I am consistently going 9/1 or better with this motherfucker.

>Air assault in
>cluster blind scrubs for huge damage
>empty upgraded TMP
>dash out with 1+ kills and maybe my shields down

He's just so fast and fun to play.

>tfw learned just now, after having taken part in the beta and playing retail extensively, that you can strip off the legplates of the sentries and inflict critical damage on the revealed legs

You misspelled Phoebe and posted some weird goblin rat thing whose mother fucked a laser.

I thought Orendi is part Varelsi or something?

I just found out Montana's knockback can stun people if they hit a wall. That makes me wonder how many other knockbacks can do the same. Doesn't Caldarius and Deande also have a knockback?

>Not wanting wild, life threatening sex
Either way one of us is gonna wake up with something missing the morning after

boldur does, also if the enemy hits another enemy they both get stunned

Cal's doesn't stun, just gives him a chance to wave his gun and dick in your face before you get flashbanged at PB range.

Sooooo, when is the patch dropping?

I don't know, but I'm less frantic for it since I just beat mission seven. the team was two tobys, an isic, a miko, and om. Damn that mission is fucked as a 5 man

Yes, they all do

Might as well post this again. Looking to do Benedict's lore challenge on PS4. Add me if you're willing to help. Name is Strange_Bot

What exactly does it mean when a character is classified as Advanced or Complex? Because I find Mellka just as easy to win with as Oscar Mike.

Absolutely nothing
Only a few characters like kleese and a few others are actually hard to use properly

"Some members of the Battleborn have banded together to make a rap?
Ha! This should be as entertaining as it is pathetic
When all the light has been snuffed out in the universe
What will you do?
Will you fight together?
Or die alone?"

"Away with you, Rendain, you traitorous scum
I'm as swift as a Dreadwind, for your head I have come
I'm the veteran samurai of the Jennerit Empire
Don't ask what will happen if you should mess with a vampire
Okay, I'm not a vampire, but I get that a lot
So I just went with the flow, plus ladies think that it's hot
All my enemies will fall when I siphon their lifeforce
And after they're dead, I'll lick their blood off of my swords"

Threadly reminder: if you pick marquis on overgrowth, you're a scumfuck.

"My temper is shorter than your time on this planet
Don't get on my bad side, find a target I can't hit
I'm a Thorn in your side, one thing is sure, you will die
Because I've got up to five arrows drawn at a time
Hit you with the Volley, that's a horizontal barrage
Then I'll curse the earth upon which you walk
I got that Eldrid Vitality, I'm the last of my kind
I'm guided by nature, I'll bring the Wrath of the Wild"

"Born into battle
Raised by a war
We're born to battle
Cuz we're Battleborn
Might sound redundant
But this is all we know
We fight together
Or die alone"

"Some call me sociopathic, I call it deadly and dapper
Call me what you prefer, but I would rather the latter
I'm a fashion icon, a widely reputed sniper
Let me check my pocket watch, time to pay the piper
A butler to Phoebe, I'm of use if you need me
And when I can't do my dirty work, I call on Hoodini
Upon the unwashed masses, pure havoc I'm wreaking
Now the profit in riches are really all that I'm seeking"

Woah there, son
No need to get too faggoty here
You did just post the video

"We've got the best tag team that you've ever seen
A demonic monster and an angsty teen
Let's start the brawl, we'll be leading the Rogues
Best hang on to your shields, now you'll need 'em the most
Razor-sharp claws and a whole lot of attitude
Call yourselves Battleborn? I just call you Battlenoobs
Wanna play fetch? You'll know I'll say yes
Let's show these other Battleborn how to play dead"

"Born into battle
Raised by a war
We're born to battle
Cuz we're Battleborn
Might sound redundant
But this is all we know
We fight together
Or die alone"

No, she's a Varimorph, which is like a shapeshifting space goblin that can absorb things to gain their properties. Orendi absorbed a laser cannon, which is where she gets her "magic" abilities.

I wish Thorn actually looked that cute

"I'm the biggest around, so I can raise your morale
Who needs cover fire? Cuz I'm laying it down
I came to keep the peace, the Varelsi better be ready
Cuz I'm the best with a minigun, what the heck is a heavy?
Take a hike, son, while I pop another round in
Some call me Mr. Everest because I'm a man mountain
Dropping ice cold bars, dishing out winter
I'm the number one lumberjack, I make ya go "timber!"

I don't have the time for your butt theatrics
You Battleborn were only born to get your ass kicked
The LLC is conceited, the Peacekeepers are weakest
And the Eldrid are overrated tree-hugging vegans
But if you're with the Rogues, that's as low as you go
Now that the Jennerit Empire's under my control
You will all be destroyed when Solas falls
I would be more threatened by the Overwatch

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Hold up, did he just say that?"

"Yeah, he just compared us to Overwatch"

"Alright, let's kick his ass!"

fucking epic gamers

never fucking post again

Why is every Rath player so fucking bad

"Born into battle
Raised by a war
We're born to battle
Cuz we're Battleborn
Might sound redundant
But this is all we know
We fight together
Or die alone"

I wanna snuggleBenny.

Anybody on PC wanna do some Advanced story? I need to gear up a bit. I also haven't done 2 missions whatsoever - I believe the Sentinel and absolutely the final mission.

Hit me with a message if you want to play video games

steamcommunity.com/id/Dubtack/

"Yeah
We get it, Thorn, you can sing
Bloody showoff"

this is really fucking cringe worthy. and this is coming from me

also: Benny doesnt get a verse? 0/10

You'd have better luck asking in the Discord.

I don't thorn looks perfect.

...

is it possible to mate with this thing?

'cuz I want to

I did that as well. Lets play video games

Please God finish this picture. I command it.

Post the over watch one.

If you want to literally be a part of it forever, sure.

Are you telling me that orendi may very well be a futa?

PSA

STOP PLAYING FOXTROT

HES TRASH, IF YOU WANT TO PLAY A GUN MAN PLAY OSCAR MIKE

Whiskey gets better sustain and incendiary nades though.

She is a shapeshifter, so she could be.

is it really shapeshifting? it seems more like shes absorbing,

she forcibly evolves herself over time. She has laserhands because she stole a robot and copied its lasers.

You're saltier than Lot's wife, friendo. Whisky is much better than Mike. He's just a lot harder to play correctly because he doesn't have a full auto primary weapon or a shitter safety net invisibility.

so hypothetically she COULD copy a dick is what you're saying?

good

Yeah if she like tied up a guy and held him hostage for a month or six and studied his dick and stuff. She's nuts though so it'd probably end up with teeth and spitting acid. She "improved" the lasers she copied too.

you're probably just making him harder.

wait, are you doing this on purpose?

Yes.

That sounds absolutely terrible. So terrible you should probably just keep going to you know, spite me and all that.

does the -% to damage include skill damage

it makes you take more damage, as in less tanky

oh wait, -% damage reduction means i just take more damage

What's the perfect music to have on while playing? I just put the Anarchy Reigns soundtrack on random.

why is she always angry?

I dont know, maybe its the fact that almost her entire race have been wiped out from the univerce.

To lure you into a false sense of security for when a competent Rath play comes around and air juggles you to death.

here's another taunt i found

...Shit man, Anarchy Reigns OST is perfect for this game.

Please don't let the community end up like Anarchy Reigns

God damn it, every time I go to bed edition.

Even I think that one sounds dumb, and I'm the one who wrote it.

Oh, you mean the braindead Smash to Dreadwind bounce that any Rath knows how to do

Yea

Some sweet skills there friendo

>mfw i'm finally learning how to lead the target

damn, nice shot senpai

Why does she constantly flick her fingers when she's running?

youtube.com/watch?v=BNqs3BvpRNw

Can Gault be offensive?

hes a support deal with it. he takes other players out of postion and punishes.

well he's black so all he has to do is open his mouth

If you're good at placing his trap behind, or pulling people into your forward placing traps, probably.

Using his ridiculously overpowered quick melee is also helpful.

I vote the next one be
> Why are there so many birdfags edition

No. He means Smash to juggle on their head while they melee you to death. If you're using dreadwind in a 1v1 and you didn't start at a big health disadvantage, you're bad.

Is Rath actually any good? During the Beta I kept eating people who played Rath alive.

Yes. Not front lines initiator, but you should be right behind your melee. You can also get someone to chase you and throw a trap in front of you then run over it.

His stun + free critical point blank shots do enough damage to 1v1 basically anyone, especially once you get hook drain and double barrels.

He's mediocre until ~4 but after that he becomes pretty dangerous. I havn't played him in a while but towards the launch of the game I usually went at least 5:1 k/d, often with 15-20 kills.. The rise of Galilea cruch players made him less viable.

Uh, that's not what supports do. He's a ganker or psuedo assassin.

yes, but like most melee characters, newbies will get greedy with him and dive too deep into the enemy line and die often.

his ult does a shitton of damage

Yeah it's pretty hard to get away from him if he does decide to chase you down.

sorry i was thinking moreso supports in other mobas.

Even then, he's fully capable of killing the enemies himself. He's more like a pudge than a blitzcrank.

Is there a secret to using tobi's mines effectively or are they pretty much just to cover flanks

So pc vs console community popualtion numbers?

thinking about getting this game for ~$35 Canadian

everything other than COD and somehow Titanfall are dead on console

it's the reverse on PC

Dude the devs said this game is most popular on console.

gearbox said the consoles are more popular, though they didn't give specific numbers at the time. pc has/had the lowest population.

Real good for pushing waves. I mostly used them with the slow helix to land more rail gun shots.
