Draconia Lockheart 5000 EGO

Best area that I found for single target weapons, Single shot AR, burst weapons, sniper, etc. Was when doing the Nim quest at Checkpoint Alpha.

I killed nim for my first time yesterday. I was at EGO 369. I feel like a boss! mostly because I heave heard a lot that he is super hard and you should be at EGO 1000 or something. he was relatively easy for me, and I was super low EGO. all that I used was the GL shotty and the defender BGM.

Find yourself a scrapper forge. Those guy's eye has an extreme crit multiplier.

How about ways to get decent gear? In the last 260-270 hours or so of gameplay the only thing I have to show for drop wise is a legendary bolter that had no element. I thought Diablo III and Borderlands II had terrible drop rates. This game is 1,000 times worse. I use a controller so in PvP it's already tough enough, not to mention with hex editing going around the way it is lately. But yeah, any tricks? No, I will not spend real money for lock boxes. I get plenty of them from doing arkfalls, sieges, etc. I switch up between 3's and 4's but it never makes a difference. I always get terrible greens and blues. Rarely even purples. If so, it's never close to decent. Yes, it's me from your friends list. Just found this thread actually, lol.

I have difficulty leveling weapon skills like SMG, Pump Shotguns, Infectors, Pistols, and of course BMGs.

Northstar Flare Pistol? Forget about it. I havent even fully maxed out a pistol yet. It's nice because it sets people on fire and works great with the Pumped Up perk, but its a B*tch to level.

Just hit 5k with my human female. Can give advice with places to level up weapons, what to grind for lots of experience and keycodes etc.

from your avatar point look: are you looking for a life?

EGO doesn't really make the game any easier, weapons barely scale from ego 1 to ego 5000 and the perks don't really add a massive amount, so really if you are good enough at the game you could most likely do it at ego level 1 if you could actually get there.

To be fair it's a much better situation as there's a much much much slimmer margin between best and worst items. I thought BL2 was fine on the drop front tbh, rare is rare, as it should be. Diablo 3 though....oh my

I don't worry too much about getting "decent" gear, it is what you make it - hell, I'm currently using a green fire VOT pulser most of the time as it's cheap to reset mastery and still chews through anything.

Just make sure you get an 8/12 mag mod and slap that in, incredibly easy to level. Pretty much any hit (especially on larger enemies) will be a nice juicy crit and damage = xp. And of course it's aoe. It's what I'm using on the Tremblers at Sieges, 3 or 4 shots and they're toast.

Ok, I'll test your knowledge. 5000 bolt action sniper rifle kills, how to get them? I'm a good shot, but still only at 600 or so. Seems like a real grind.
