You start your game as usual then pause it, Alt + Tab to the desktop and start this. It scans the memory and alters the string that indicates co-op. There is a slider to move the difficulty from one to four people... and it really does get difficult. Anyway, very cool little program for those who want tougher baddies and better loot.

Just wanted to note too that there is a little price war on the retail DVD brewing over at Amazon. As I post this the lowest price is $27.98.

But I keep my Mordecai with the Gunslinger mod 99% of the time. Ammo regen/90% fire rate etc.

I have a 560ish dmg Pestilent Defiler with 2.1 fire rate, and a 3x fire elemental pistol too. Both of those with my Masher (220ish x 7) get me through anything. ;)

Wow, you weren't kidding. I got one (finally) and I haven't used anything else since haha.
A Hellfire is awesome, especially if you can find yourself a decent Savior SMG (ammo regen). When you run low on Hellfire ammo, switch to the Savior to regen for a bit. ;)

do the mobs scale to your level?
That's actually a big complaint from just about everyone. The only enemies to scale over lvl 51 are on Knoxx. The other DLCs and the original game itself keeps the enemies at 51 or below.

Hopefully they come out with an update, because once you get Knoxx, the rest of the game is pretty pointless IMO. lol

But Knoxx is just such a huge add-on by itself!

A lot of people agree with that but I thought it was kind of a waste. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but it seemed like the turret from the soldier was much better than simply being able to run up and punch someone in the phasewalk.
You can also hit a bunch of baddies with an elemental attack with Lilith when you drop out of phasewalk near them. Good stuff... :)

My best weapon so far was a double anarchy SMG with Mordecai that dealt 4 x 68 damage at level 19. I've had the double anarchy before but nothing that powerful.

I'm not going to finish Brick... I'm saving him and the rest of my second Mordecai play for the next DLC... hopefully they do raise the level cap.

I actually got very lucky with Roland and picked up an excellent SMG very early in the game that I ended up keeping the whole run. I got it saving the claptrap in Sledge's safehouse. Running through this time as Mordecai I got another excellent SMG but it's locked to level 25 (im 15 now).

I'm going to try WillowTree after this run. Looks very cool.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Borderlands-Anyone-picking-this-up-23727279 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 09:13:40 EDT Re: Borderlands? Anyone picking this up? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Borderlands-Anyone-picking-this-up-23726753
I've gone through with all 4 characters now... both times.

Now I'm having fun making weapons with WillowTree. It gets pretty funny actually. hehe

The Vault was a pain in the butt!
I decided to Leroy the whole thing and it worked like a charm. Just high tail it through the whole map never stopping to shoot anything. I died a couple of times but there are save points all over so I only had to backtrack a few yards. Made it all the way to the final boss without firing a shot.

The last boss was killing me so fast I was getting frustrated, until I figured out how to make him stop throwing those purple shards. Then it was pretty easy.

Would have been nice if they had explained the 'guardian angel' a little bit better at the end.
Once I reassigned the skill points to Mordecai for the trespass ability, shields were no longer an issue. Needless to say, on the 2nd playthrough, the aliens were all 1 shot kills. lol

Unlike you though, I killed everything/everyone, and opened every chest/skag pile/locker etc. Loot, baby... loot!

And I think you're right about the Ninja assassin thing. It was pretty funny at first. Too bad you can't have him join you as a sidekick. That'd be pretty fun.

I finally replaced that pistol at level 30. That thing lasted me forever. Replaced it with a pistol that does 200 damage and does 4x corrosion. One shot takes out an enemy's shield and infects them with plague, so I just hide and wait for them to die. This game is real fun.
Yup! Is it a Pestilent Defiler? I finally found one after farming New Haven for weeks. lol I love that thing.

But my go-to revolver is a 7-shot Tediore something 150x7 and ammo regeneration... ;)

When you get to level 50, the good stuff really starts to pop up!

Got this for Christmas, have a soldier to level 19 now. Found a purple pistol that does 144 damage plus an electrical pulse. This thing one shots most enemies. It also has a 3x zoom so you can snipe with the freaking thing.

I had heard that this was the fps version of Diablo, and I have to agree. Shooting people is almost an afterthought, it's all about the loot.
Just wait until playthrough 2... if you think that pistol is good... well... ;)
