I just managed a 13.9 second Crawmerax speedkill on Xbox with Mordecai using a 550 Gunfighter COM with no fifth line. I still can’t believe how easy it looks: here’s the video on youtube. At the time of this writing, 13.9s is the current record for consoles, and the third fastest overall, as far as the Gearbox forum knows. In this post I’ll go over how this quick time came about. Previously I’d looked at two Hunter builds for speedkilling Crawmerax. First I tried to replicate fraktaled_b4u’s success with Sniper/Penetrator. I managed an ok time with it, but with my … Continue reading →

Sub-20 Second Crawmerax Speedkill in PT2 When I first saw this video I was like holy ****, because not only does it look VERY fast, it looks repeatable. I’m used to a Craw kill taking 3 minutes from first blood to death roar and this, by looking at the video, is a whole order of magnitude more efficient.  My gunslinger setup is no slouch, but it’s designed to be tough and consistent, rather than lightning fast. “Wow,” I thought, “I gotta try this!”  I checked out what he was using and realized he had made some unusual choices. The Sniper Speedkill Loadout … Continue reading →

When I started fighting Crawmerax with Mordecai in Playthrough 2 I thought it would be fairly easy. Mordecai is famous for placing critical damage and Crawmerax is basically MADE out of Critical hit spots, right? So why wouldn’t it be easy? Well, we’ll get to that. First I have to say that my initial 20+ desperate attempts didn’t succeed. At all. Mordecai would inevitably get taken down and if he ever got back up, there were 5 immediate threats in every direction. Even if no one was around, he’d back up into a newly risen purple one and get clobbered. … Continue reading →

Most newcomers to Borderlands will get through a playthrough or two, maybe complete some DLCs and then start to wonder about finding some of the rare weapons they didn’t come across. And upon browsing this site they’ll probably say something like, “Holy crap. That repeater pistol blows away my best machine gun! Forget ‘Borderlands best weapons’ – how do I get something I can hopefully kill Crawmerax with?.” Yes the creators of Borderlands put a lot of effort into a stingy and mysterious loot generation system. It’s that witholding of incredible firepower that keeps people playing and playing. And the … Continue reading →
