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.

Over time, it became apparent that there were common elements to different guns and that having certain elements on a gun resulted in certain effects. Eventually things became clearer and people learned that specific parts and weapon names literally described what a gun would do and made a gun what it was. Lists were made and predictions were tested against finds from the game and what could be determined from … Continue reading →
