Explaining Gearbox Shift

"If you picked up a copy of Borderlands 2 last week, you’ve probably heard all about the Gearbox Shift program. Unfortunately, there still seems to be a large number of people who are unsure on what the service provides, and how to properly take advantage of the programs offers. I’ve decided to give everyone a explanation on how to use Gearbox Shift, and why it’s an awesome thing."

Elwenil4642d ago

Yeah, I've had a total of 7 keys so far and used 3 of them. All were purple items, two were weapons (SMG and pistol) and then the other two keys just gave me two grenade mods each. They are all decent items, just nothing really awesome or better than stuff I have found from bosses or random chests. Still, it's free loot that is at least good to sell for cash.

Adexus4642d ago

I think I've used it around 5 times now and gotten good loot each time, just lucky I guess!

Waddy1014642d ago

You ALWAYS get purple loot from the box, scaled to your level. That's the whole point lol.

Elwenil4642d ago

@Waddy101,

Agreed but there seems to be some confusion here since I've seen it said repeatedly that the chest is supposed to give up "legendary" loot which is not the case. It's free loot with the potential to be something good depending on what you already have so I don't get why some people are getting worked up over it.

LackTrue4K4642d ago

i got a question, i got borderlands 2 on the ps3, but i cant change charters on the main menu? i was thinking that i must of saved over my exsiting files (Axton level 35). i started with another charters, but i can seem to load my old one?!? i looked at my saves on the ps3....ya his still there. "any help?"

Wigriff4642d ago

This is entirely from memory, but I believe you press Triangle on the main menu, and when the window pops up, select "Choose Existing Character." If i'm wrong in my steps, let me know; I'll PM you and walk you through it.

LackTrue4K4642d ago

ya....i needed to click on "Choose existing character"

"Thanks for the help, this is why i love this site there are some real helpful people on here"

CRASHBASHUK4642d ago

DryPancake4642d ago

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

TheNamelessOne306d ago

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster3000306d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan305d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

Demetrius305d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

-Foxtrot306d ago

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake306d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot306d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

Terry_B305d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake306d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B305d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack305d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal305d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack305d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.
