Use an elemental weapon on it until it gets effected by dot (Set on fire, electrified, corroded, frozen) then melee it while it is Yup, that's the method right there. Set a DoT and whack 'em while they're affected. Hopefully you have a weapon of each element with you. If not, purchase some cheap whites from the machine nearby. Borderlands Elements. Elemental damage comes in five different varieties: Incendiary: Incendiary is a relatively weak element initially, but has the benefit of being able to set enemies on fire, for substantial damage over time. The initial burst can hit other enemies near the primary target, setting them on fire as well. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel has been available for less than a week but players have already found some clever ways to level up their character. Here are some of the best methods to get your.

Borderlands is back with Borderlands The Pre-Sequel and this time, you're on Pandora's moon, Elphis. This adds several new features that even veterans of the series have to learn.

There is low gravity, slam attacks, Oz kits that give oxygen, double jumping, cryo weapons, laser weapons, and more! Things are confusing/frustrating at first, but when you get the hang of it, you'll be exploring Elphis like a pro, just like Pandora.

I'm here to give you everything you need to know to get you started in Borderlands The Pre-Sequel.

This guide will cover the basics of Borderlands The Pre-Sequel including:

• Controls -What they do and tips on them.
• Characters/Skills -Each character and what they do.
• Guns -The different types of guns and what they do.
• Elemental Types -All 5 elements and what they do.
• Gear -Things other than guns to equip.
• Moonstones - What they are used for and what you should use them on.
• Grinder - What it does and why it's useful.
• Money/Shops - What to spend your money on and when to save it.
• Storing Items - Using the Safe and Customs Locker.
• Badass Rank - What it is and why it's useful.

Controls

Most of the controls are like your basic shooter. Fire, jump, zoom in, melee, grenades, reload, switch weapons, and crouch.

This series gives each character their own Action Skill as well and Borderlands The Pre-Sequel adds a few more controls.

After reaching level 3, you'll get a skill point to put into your character's action skill. This has a cooldown, but lets you use a unique ability for a limited time. I'll go over each ability later.

Once you get to the moon and get an Oz kit, you'll have 2 more controls, double jumping and Gravity Butt Slam. Simply jump twice to float over a short distance for the double jump.

While in the air, hold the crouch button to slam down to the ground, causing area damage to nearby enemies.

Both of these abilities use O2/Oxygen. If you do not have any, you cannot complete these abilities. You can get oxygen back easily by going over the areas that shoot it out of the ground, or by going into an area or bubble with O2 in it.

When you lose all your health, you don't die immediately. Instead, you go into Fight for your Life mode. During this mode, you can continue to shoot and melee, but you crawl on the ground slowly.

If you get a kill, or get revived by a teammate, you return to the fight. Go up to a fallen teammate and use the on-screen prompts to revive.

Characters/Skills

Currently, there are 4 characters to choose from:

• Nisha - Pistol-wielding Lawbringer
• Wilhelm - Cybernetic soldier/enforcer
• Athena - Gladiator with a sword and shield
• Claptrap - Random guy and/or mistake (He's actually very fun/good)

Each of these characters have their own unique action skill and skill trees. At level 3 you get your action skill and every level after that, up to 50, you get a skill point.

Nisha uses Showdown. During this time, shooting will automatically lock on to the enemies in the area and shoot incredibly fast.

Her skill trees can either focus on melee abilities and living life on the edge, or focus on shooting and even giving her a copy of the pistol she's using in her other hand.

Wilhelm has Wolf and Saint, helpful drones. Wolf has health and goes around shooting enemies. Saint stays back to restore Wilhelm's shields or even health if you choose the right skills.

His skill trees can buff up Wolf and/or Saint, or give Wilhelm cybernetic enhancements to make himself stronger.

Athena has a Kinetic Aspis. This is a shield that absorbs damage for a limited time, then launches at the enemy dealing damage based on how much was absorbed.

Her skill trees can make the shield do more damage, give health and shield bonuses to allies, and even revive them instantly. She can also focus on doing elemental damage, or make enemies bleed with her sword.

Claptrap uses Vaulthunter.Exe. This skill selects a random action package that gives Claptrap a special feature and sometimes gives buffs to teammates. For example, one of his skills is called Funzerker. This gives him two guns and he fires non-stop. This also causes all teammates to automatically fire weapons for the full duration of the skill.

His skills trees can focus on being supportive in groups, causing explosions, or being even more random with bonuses to random guns and elements.

Check out the official interactive skill trees to find out exactly what each character can do.

Guns

There are 7 types of guns in Borderlands The Pre-Sequel:

• Assault Rifle - All-around weapon
• Sniper Rifle - Long-range, high damage
• Sub-Machine Gun - Fast firing, low damage
• Pistol - Mid-range, moderate damage
• Shotgun - Short-range, high damage
• Rocket Launcher - Extreme damage
• Laser - Varied damage, comes in beam, blaster, and railgun forms

They also come in different qualities. The colors indicate how good they are.

• White - Lowest
• Green - Low
• Blue - Good
• Purple - Better
• Orange - Best

For the most part, you can choose whichever gun you like the most. Some characters get bonus damage to certain types, such as Lasers for Wilhem and Pistols for Nisha.

Check out my How to get Legendaries guide for the best weapons.

Elemental Types

There are 5 elemental types that can be on your weapons:

• Shock - Lightning damage that takes shields down fast
• Incendiary - Fire damage that takes down flesh enemies fast
• Corrosive - Acid damage that takes down armored enemies fast
• Explosive - Explosions!
• Cryo - Ice damage that freezes enemies in place

Gear

Besides guns, there are 4 more things your characters can equip:

• Shield - Grants shields.
• Class Mod - Grants various buffs and sometimes extra skill points to certain skills.
• Grenade Mod - Enhances mods by giving them elemental/special effects. Also increases damage.
• Oz Kit - Gives you O2 to use for multiple functions. Can also give various bonuses and add an element to your Slam attacks.

Moonstones

Moonstones are a type of currency. You can spend them in several ways:

• Black Market - Buy inventory or ammo expansions for a certain gun type.
• Bar Drinks - These give buffs for a limited time.
• Grinder - Use moonstones to get the best possible item of the combination you use. More on this later.

I suggest first getting Backpack upgrades as well as ammo upgrades for the guns you like to use. After getting a decent assortment of guns, use the Grinder and use moonstone grind to get the best items.

The Bar Drinks are not worth it in my opinion, unless you have plenty of moonstones and just need to spend them.

Grinder

The Grinder is a new feature that lets you put in 3 items of the same quality, and get another item back of a higher quality.

To unlock the grinder, progress through the story until Janey Springs is in Concordia. Complete the mission 'Grinders' to unlock the grinder. If on True Vault Hunter mode, you don't need to do the mission to unlock.

Visit my How to Use the Grinder guide for full details on using the Grinder.

Money/Shops

There are 3 kinds of shops in the game:

• Bullets - Buys ammo for your guns as well as grenade mods.
• Health - Buy health when you're low as well as shields and class mods.
• Guns - Several guns to choose from.

For the most part you should need to buy bullets and health much. If you constantly open containers, you can get plenty of bullets. You can also get back up from dying easily by killing enemies in Fight for your Life mode.

If you find yourself running low on bullets, even after opening containers, or not being able to kill people fast enough, then be sure to stock up at these shops.

Guns are the big things to save money for. I've seen multiple purple and higher weapons at the gun shops and they cost a lot of money. If you don't need anything else, save up for these, they are only available for a limited time.

There are also slot machines in the bar. You can use money to play the slots in hopes of something good. You can get several nice items this way if you're lucky and have a lot of money to spend. I wouldn't spend much time here unless you don't need to spend money on anything else.

Storing Items

Concordia, the big city on the moon, has 2 places to store items.

The first is the Safe. This allows you to store items to free up space in your backpack. Just go back here to store and retrieve items. Only works on your current character.

The second is the Customs Locker. This has less space, but items in here can be retrieved from other character that you make. Great for transferring lower level items you may need on another character, or Legendary items you'd like to try on someone else.

Badass Rank

By completing challenges, you raise your 'Badass Rank'. Doing this gives you tokens to redeem for bonus stats. There are many and you can only choose from certain stats at a time. Here are what's possible:

• Melee Damage - Increases damage done with melee attacks.
• Max Health - Increases maximum health.
• Shield Capacity - Increases maximum shields
• Shield Recharge Delay - Decreases amount of time for shield to start recharging after being fully depleted.
• Shield Recharge Rate - Decreases amount of time it takes for shields to fully recharge after the recharge starts.
• Gun Damage - Increases damage done by guns.
• Grenade Damage - Increases damage done by grenades.
• Recoil Reduction - Reduces recoil on guns.
• Reload Speed - Makes reloading faster.
• Elemental Effect Chance - Increases the % of an elemental effect happening.
• Elemental Effect Damage - Increases the damage done by elemental effects.
• Critical Hit Damage - Increases damage done by critical hits.

Upgrades to the shield stats are a good starting point for better survivability.

That's it for my Borderlands Pre Sequel Beginner's Guide. There is much to tell about this game, so let me know if I missed something or if you have further questions.

Borderlands The Pre-Sequel added a few new features to those familiar to the series. One of the coolest is the Grinder. This lets you put in 3 items, then combine them to make a new, sometimes better, item.

There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to using this machine at first glance, but as you experiment, you notice there are certain recipes. These aren't recipes for specific gun, but rather gun types, such as a sniper rifle or rocket launcher. You can even get new legendaries by using it!

I'll explain exactly how the Grinder works, recipes for getting what you want, and tips on using it. For other guides and tips, check out my Borderlands Pre Sequel Beginner's Guide: Tips for Conquering Elphis.

This guide will cover everything about the Grinder including:

• Unlocking the Grinder - How and when you unlock it.
• How to use the Grinder - What you can put in the Grinder.
• Grinder Recipes - The current known recipes for the Grinder
• Grinder Tips - Tips on getting what you want from the Grinder.

Unlocking the Grinder

The Grinder is located in the main city, Concordia, in Janey Springs' workshop. When you first reach Concordia, she isn't there yet. You have to continue the main story until you come back to Concordia and Janey is there.

She will have a side-quest called, 'Grinders' that is level 11 on your first play through. After completing this mission, you will unlock the ability to sue the Grinder. After doing this, if you start True Vault Hunter Mode, you won't need to do the quest again to use it.

How to use the Grinder

Using the Grinder is simple, you put in 3 items, press the grind button, then get out a new item. The items, most of the time, have to be the same type and rarity to grind. This means that you have to use either all weapons, class mods, grenade mods, Oz kits, or shields. You can't mix any of those. The rarity is the color of the item. For example if you use a blue item, all must be blue.

The exception is grinding legendary items. You can grind 2 legendary items and 1 purple to get a new legendary. There is a list later in this guide that shows recipes. Also, check out my How to Get Legendaries guide for more details.

When using the Grinder, you can either get an item of the same quality, or one level higher. This means that if you grind 3 blue items, you can either get another blue item, or a purple item.

Moonstone Grind

You can also choose to use moonstones when using the grinder. This gives you the highest possible quality item out of the 3 items you put in the Grinder. So using this with 3 blue items will always give you a purple item.

You also get a chance to have an extra effect on your item called Luneshine. Here is a list of possible Luneshine effects:

• Higher Maximum Shields
• Reduced O2 consumption rate
• Extra Grenade damage
• Extra Experience from killing enemies
• Restores shields from killing enemies
• Higher Critical hit damage
• Restores O2 from damaging enemies
• Chance to ignore enemy shields

Grinder Recipes

If you put in 3 guns at random, there is no telling what you'll get, but if you follow the recipes below, you can get the desired item every time. All of these recipes have to have the same rarity type, except when grinding legendaries.

Gun Types

• SMG - Pistol, Assault Rifle, and Shield.
• Rocket Launcher - Any 2 weapons and a grenade mod.
• Assault Rifle - SMG, Sniper Rifle, and Shield.
• Sniper Rifle - Shotgun, Assault Rifle, and Shield.
• Shotgun - SMG, Pistol, and Shield.

Rarity Types

Note: This is for using moonstones. If you use normal grind you can still get these result, but there is a chance you'll get a lower rarity.

• Green (Random) - 3 different white weapons.
  
• Green (Specific)- 2 white weapons of the same type and 1 weapon of any type.
• Blue(Random) - 3 different green weapons.
• Blue (Specific)- 2 green weapons of thesame type and 1 green weapon of any type.
• Purple(Random) - 3 different blue weapons.
• Purple (Specific)- 2 blue weapons of thesame type and 1 blue weapon of any type.
• Legendary Weapon (Specific) - 2 legendary weapons of any type and 1 purple weapon. Whichever purple you choose will be the type of weapon you get out.

You can also grind shields, class mods, grenade mods, and Oz kits using the above recipes. I haven't tried grinding a legendary item besides a weapon, so I'm not sure if it works for these as well.

Grinder Tips

Here are a few tips to remember when using the Grinder:

• ALWAYS use moonstone grind when grinding Legendaries. You don't want to end up with a purple item and waste 2 legendaries.

Pre Sequel Borderlands Element Dmg And Then Melee Them List

• Use your highest level items. The level of the item produced is an average of the 3 items put into the Grinder.
• Pick up several items. You never know what you might want to grind later.
• Use moonstones when you can. If you can afford to, use moonstones always. The chance to get Luneshine makes the weapons even better.
