Give me a shout if u need some backup! Tips, try and build up your character to at least a lv7 or 8 before you start any really big missions, and also pick up everything and make sure you carefully manage your inventory. Plus dont get to attached to your weapons, always sell that shit whenever you get something better. There was a point where i had 20 sniper rifles and i was just hoarding tbh.

I played the Siren as liked her invincible special. Got her right up to the max of level 50. No real tips, you don't level up that must from taking down loads of skags etc in the game but do ALL the side-missions and you will find yourself levelling up very quickly. Big dudes should not be a problem as they are not that tough at all and everything else is free roaming so if you start dying, do a Monty Python and run away, run away and get some health. Siren ability good for this as well as you eventually get recharge your health. Really enjoyed this game, and the DLC Dr Ned Zombies, did not download the latest battle arena one as you could not level up, pointless. Have fun in the depressing distopian future

Yesterday some bastard joined my game and pinched my reward weapons after I'd beed battling these big buggers for 10 minutes. Seriously how mean is that? Now Level 17 - got a level 25 weapon and sold it for $12k. Good idea? I'm hoping that when I get to level 25 then level 25 weaps will be as common as those bloody annoying four legged mutant dogs.

Yep, sounds like an online game with strangers. Might join you for a game this weekend if you are about. Keep an eye out for the revolver to end all weapons! EDIT: Probably a good idea to sell, best advice is to keep your inventory clean, such a bad gui system, its worth keeping it as uncluttered as possible.

Well I got to level 50 - siren. Now playing zombie ned. Must admit it has been good, didn't Feel like too much grinding. Did some co-op on second playthrough- some of the big bosses certainly take a whole lotta damage. Next task - join a level 10 player a steal all his loot lol revenge...... Only jokin ps sold everything which seemed work well.

~level 20 with a soldier I think, played with a siren found it to be too reliant on elemental weapons for my liking. With the soldier you can just run up to bosses hit them with 6-12 shotgun shots and they are dead Not a game with lasting appeal for me though.
