So I guess the game doesn't seem to know that a headshot that kills a unit counts as killing a unit with a critical. In
Moxxi's Underdome as a bonus, you have to kill X amount of Hyperion units/soliders with a critical hit. The game is 100% RANDOM on whether it decides to give you the count or not. You can kill ten guards or robots in the exact same way and still end up with 3/20 registering.
. Pretty damn annoying.

Does anyone else feel like the music is really good too? I mean, there are some nice beats for these areas.

Good music all around, some better than others, but all pretty much good. Although the music in Sawtooth Canyon sounds a lot like the medical station music at the start of Mass Effect 2.

The theme from the Dust region reminds me a little bit of the Tristam theme from Diablo / Torchlight town theme about a minute in.

(The dark sound, the "plucky" guitar, and the cello in the background)

Ok, so I think I need to make another character. At level 50, Siren is feeling kind of weak DPS-wise for solo play.

I'm sure this has been answered, and I apologize -

Doing the Mighty Morpin quest
and I injected a pod, but all that spawns are Badass Varkids. I keep reading that it's random that a Mutated one will spawn, but is that the case? It's getting annoying?
 
this has probably been asked, but is there a way to lock onto enemies when you're in a vehicle like in BL1?

i didn't see it listed in the controls when i first got in a vehicle, and hitting all the buttons hasn't done anything. would be sad if they removed it. combat can be annoying with enemy vehicles swerving around all crazy like.

It's not random, at least not for me. It's random when they burrow and cocoon themselves but the injection to mutated rate is 100%

I don't think so, and I feel like this game is better balanced, as far as the machine gun Light Runner being a totally viable anti-vehicle option when you use both of its machine guns.

Hell yes! I hope they make the soundtrack available at some point, there are some fantastic tracks on it. I love the one that plays in Fink's Slaughterhouse.

yeah i noticed the front mg on the vehicles is a lot more powerful than the one in BL1. i'm actually killing things with it even in my launcher runner. the bullet spread is pretty wide, but when you actually land hits it seems to do a lot of damage. oh well.

Rofl, this game keeps on giving the goods. I just did the Swallowed Whole quest in the Fridge for Scooter where I had to free Shorty who was inside a stalker. I wanted to get the bonus xp by killing the stalker with a shock weapon but I didn't have one handy so I just tossed a tesla grenade to finish it off. Then Shorty comes out and is like 'I'm alive!!', but the tesla grenade was still shocking him and he screamed and died within 5 seconds lol. After he died the quest updated with 'Kill Shorty.' Poor guy.

Good to see some soundtrack love. I felt like the first borderlands ost was fairly unmemorable outside of one or two tracks. Sometimes BL2 has a weird techno deal that makes for some great ambient music.

Yeah, that was one of the standouts.

How do the Special Edition heads & skins work? Do you get a set for each character you make, or does only one set for each character come with the game? If they are one per game I won't even bother trading for them since they're pretty much guaranteed to be duped on PC.

You can't trade them, they're automatically unlocked for every character you make.

I get it, but how can I repeat the quest? I apaprently didn't kill the first one fast enough, so I need to kill a new one. How do I do it?
Inject a pod again. If you killed all the varkids in the area just wait until they respawn or exit the game and restart.

Are you sure those aren't the Veteran ones? People seem to have consumable versions of the Special Edition heads & skins.

Oh sorry, I must've been thinking about the Veteran ones. Made a new character just to be sure and indeed you get the skins in your inv (every time, not just the first time you make a character of certain class).

Sweet. Anyone on PC with the SE willing to make an extra Axton?

The option to inject a pod doesn't appear.

Let me recap - I injected a pod, killed the resultant enemy, and the quest did not update. The quest currently reads "kill mutated varkid." I need to move along.

That happened to me last night. When I booted up the game this morning it worked fine and I was able to finish it normally. Just try quitting and restarting

Yeah, this is the first game that I've ever had the sound effects set at a lower volume than the music. It's really good.
