Destroyer: A Tale of Laziness and Quick Thinking

Borderlands General Discussion
#1

Just wanted to post this cuz it was fun. I was running on of my 40ish Characters (Roland) through PT2 cuz I wanted to check if missions scaled after completing PT2 (Google too hard :/). Peachy keen being overleveled until about Flynt where I had to start trying, but I had a MaliCrux from my Mordy so everything after Flynt was trivial.

Got to Destroyer fight with about a total of 67 bullets (Basically only had shotties and ARs cuz stubborn and ignored all drops for the most part). Quickly left the boss to refill…but it was all the way at the beginning of the Long ass Promontory. I said F that and tried to wing it. Got Destroyer down to like 45% before running out. Sh!t…now imma have to walk back AND refight Squidbilly. I said F that and respec’d into supply drop (I had a Heavy Gunner Left-Right spec at the time). Sent out my dinky turret and waited it out. Twas fun.

Thanks for Reading Have a nice day. :blush:

I was on even level wtih Destroyer on PT2, yet I still ran out of ammo for SMGs, assault rifles and revolvers and repeaters. Finished the job with a shotgun. Other times I had some tediore legendaries for infinite ammo, excluding that one time I used Bouncing Betties for finishing him off quickly.

PT. 2 Destroyer is a horrible fight.
It scales with your character but it punishes your gear. I always try to have legendary Tediore items or ammo regen COMs at hand.

MY 3 chars are Roland (w/ Newly Found Access to Supply Drop) Gunslinger Mordy, and BM Brick so I’m usually fine for ammo.
