Borderlands – Playstation 3

Borderlands - Platform: Playstation 3

New Game+ mode:
--------------- 
Successfully complete the game to unlock New Game+ mode. In your second 
playthrough, all enemies are more powerful.


Duplicating items and weapons:
------------------------------ 
Start a co-op game with at least one other player. Drop the item(s) and/or 
weapon(s) you want to duplicate. Then, leave the game through a non-saving 
method, such as signing out of your profile or resetting the system. Since the 
game did not save after you dropped the item(s) and/or weapon(s), you will still 
have them, and the other player(s) who picked them up will also have them.


Easy loot and money:
-------------------- 
Every time you load a saved game, the chests and lootable objects restock. Save 
the game near a place where there are multiple weapon chests, such as in the 
town of New Haven. Collect all the loot in them, then save the game. Reload the 
saved game, and collect all the loot again. Keep the loot you want, and sell the 
loot you do not want. Repeat this as many times as desired. Note: You get more 
money and better loot when there are more than one player. This is best done 
with four players.


Easy rare weapons:
------------------ 
Save the game near a location with multiple weapon chests, such as in the town 
of New Haven. Then, host a game, and have three other players join. Collect all 
the weapons in the chests, then exit out of the game, and host a new game at the 
same spot. Repeat this process as many times as desired. You should get quite a 
few rare weapons using this method.


Easy experience and weapon proficiency:
--------------------------------------- 
Use the following trick to get easy experience and weapon proficiencies, as well 
as good weapons and money by selling loot from all the dead enemies. Once you 
reach "The Middle Of Nowhere" area, you will eventually get the "Circle Of 
Slaughter" quest. When do you do the quest, enter the arena, and kill all but 
one enemy (preferably a little one). Do not kill all enemies or the quest will 
end. Also, do not die or you will potentially lose a lot of money. After killing 
all but one enemy and collecting all items desired, exit out, and the game will 
save automatically. Reload your saved game, sell all desired items through one 
of the nearby machines, and repeat the quest as many times as desired. Note: 
There are three rounds; the last one is called" Final Round". Do not finish it 
if you want to repeat this trick.


Hidden house with Rider gun in New Haven:
----------------------------------------- 
When you get the "Another Piece Of The Puzzle" quest (do not complete), you can 
go to a secret house in New Haven. When you enter the house, you take a lift 
down to the bottom. There is one regular weapon chest and a red weapon chest. 
The red weapon chest always contains the "Rider" gun, which is a reference to 
the Red Ryder BB gun from the classic movie A Christmas Story. Its stats usually 
vary slightly each time you get one. The weapon can only be found in this house. 
The weapon's manufacturer is "Gearbox" (the game's developer), as opposed to an 
in-game company such as Dahl, Hyperion, etc. Note: When this location is used 
with the others in New Haven for the "Easy loot and money" trick, you can get a 
lot of loot and money quickly.


Weapon chest locations in New Haven:
------------------------------------ 
Hidden rare weapon chest in Rust Commons West 
Go to the far northwest corner (on the map) in Rust Commons West. Find the rock 
wall with the gun tower on top of it. Stand near the left side of the gun tower. 
Then, crouch and stay against the rock wall as you move down the rocks. The 
warning sign may appear. Ignore it, and try to move as quickly as possible. The 
chest is basically in front of the gun tower, under a large rock overhang. The 
weapons chest has a high chance of spawning rare weapons. Note: It may require a 
few attempts to reach the chest. Once you get the weapons, you either must kill 
yourself or exit the game because there is no way to leave this area safely.

Secret "Fish" easter egg in Treacher's Landing 
Go to the secret dock (farthest south point of the starting position) in 
Treacher's Landing where you get the "You're on a boat!" trophy. Shoot the 
yellow barrel to the right of the dock. Then, shoot the green barrel in the 
distant trash pile to the east of the boat. Shoot one of the blue barrels on the 
boat. Finally, shoot the red barrel in the water to the left of the boat.

"Bandit Treasure" quest 
Fast travel to Old Haven, then follow the left wall to find a pile of dead 
bandits. Look for the glowing bandit or glowing key nearby to unlock the "Bandit 
Treasure" quest.

"Green Thumb" quest 
Fast travel to "The Middle Of Nowhere" Bounty Board. Get a car from Scooter's, 
and drive to the right. Look for the small shack with big plants around it. Talk 
to the man leaning against the shack to unlock the "Green Thumb" quest.


Extra SDU Backpacks:
-------------------- 
Sometimes during your second playthrough and beyond, you will get an extra SDU 
Backpack after repairing a Claptrap even after you have reached the 42 maximum 
allowed slots in your inventory, which is not supposed to happen, and is a known 
glitch in the game. Thus, before you turn in a repair kit to rescue a Claptrap, 
exit the game to save. Then, turn the repair kit in to the Claptrap. If you do 
not get an SDU Backpack, leave the game through a non-saving method, such as 
signing out of your profile or resetting the system. Then, try again until you 
get an SDU Backpack.


Extra item space:
----------------- 
Create a second character for use in Co-op mode. When you want to store an item, 
start a Co-op game with your main character and secondary character. Transfer 
the items you want to store to the secondary character until you need them, then 
transfer them back.


Critical hits: 
--------------
It is important to try to get critical hits on enemies so you kill them quicker 
and get additional XP. To get a critical hit on a human, shoot it in the head. 
If you use a sniper rifle, it will usually kill them instantly. For a Skag, 
shoot it in the face when its mouth is open. This varies depending on the type. 
For the pups, shoot them while they roar at you. For adults, quickly shoot them 
while they jump at you. For the spitters, shoot their mouths while they fire 
their poison projectile at you. Critical hits are easiest at close range with a 
shotgun or scattergun.


Quick reloads:
-------------- 
While reloading, press R3 to melee as soon as the cartridge is removed or new 
rounds are being inserted, and the gun will reload instantly.
