I think I bought 10 slots back in the day. If we start hitting that with Scooty's guild moving in, I can up it up a notch.
Oh, I wondered where 10 people came from. Randoms.

Was thinking about bailing. Then figured I only spend a couple hundred per rez. Got up to L10 with clappy. And yeah, I can air boost or gravity slam.

Watched the intro after playing a session with another buddy of mine. The Enforcer, Wilhelm, bears a striking resemblance to the head on Jack's pet robot (the one that massacred the colonists with Helena prior to BL2) that's a boss. The name, too.

Yes, that is who that is.

Nisha, Claptrap, and Wilhelm are all from BL2. Athena is the only one who isn't, iirc.

Athena...
former assassin of Atlas who first appeared as a non-playable character in the Borderlands DLC The Secret Armory of General Knoxx

That name sounded familiar.

Wilhelm I remembered. Claptrap is from way back. Holy fuck, Nisha is the sheriff chick from Lynchwood.

And another.
Timothy Lawrence, the Doppelganger, is the first announced DLC character for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!. Originally, he was a Handsome Jack body double that the Vault Hunters were asked by Angel to kill in a mission from Borderlands 2. His Action Skill, Expendable Assets, which was revealed through a leaked photo, can be used to summon several digital copies of himself to fight for him, similar to the real Jack's ability in Borderlands 2.

So of the four characters, I lean towards Nisha and Wilhelm.

Claptrap is annoying. Athena is a tank/shield, which is not how I know how to play.

Wilhelm's got the pets, which means he's in the Mordecai/Gaige vein. Clappy is the healer.

When the next time we can get 3-4 together? 2 isn't nearly as much fun due to fewer, weaker enemies.

This game has me considering paying full price for once instead of waiting for the sales.

I'm guessing you would agree with that sentiment?

I am stuck at a spot soon after we left off in our last multi-game.... I need to use a Nova Shield to take out 5 security cameras at once, that I can't see because the cryo-drum knocked me back when it exploded putting me out of Nova Shield range, and I keep knocking out my shield with grenades but I can't get get it done because the grenades knock me back, too. Anyone else get stuck here? It is unusual because you almost never get a "kinda hard to finish" mission in this game, much less a "REALLY hard to finish" one.
