@GearboxOfficial Having you considered just shooting all the elements instead? They can’t eat them all. They would have a very upset tummy.

@GearboxOfficial

@GearboxOfficial I mean just swap guns? Carry at least one kinetic and you’re fine

@GearboxOfficial Centripetal, Deflection, Inv Orb and Elemental Eater, the worst modifiers yet. The worst type of "artificial difficult" Want a challenge? Give mobs the chance of using a leggie, better guns, combos or something. A REAL challenge, not this "pseudo diff", this is just a annoying.

@GearboxOfficial With a full-on radiation harlowe build, i swear they keep spawning badass radiation elemental eater enemies and i just gotta chip em with my kaoson

@GearboxOfficial for everyone saying "just change guns" ⬇️this is the issue

@GearboxOfficial Idk maybe use the other THREE gun slots instead of just one.

@GearboxOfficial The Harlowe build with chroma I used literally had a vile enemy eat my ultimate…especially since it was radioactive…shit him with the convergence afterwards basically just tickled him…

@GearboxOfficial seems like your build needs a backup plan.

@GearboxOfficial I don't understand this logic. So you'd prefer the game to just be eay mode and you steam roll everything? Like "awe I can't kill everything in half a second" this ruins the flow of the game. Maybe they should play it for you too?

@GearboxOfficial i just don't understand how we still have to deal with modifiers. it was shit in bl3 (thank god for m11, months later), it was shit in wonderlands, and now its back in bl4 and guess what, it's shit.

@GearboxOfficial So when people use the crit knife, their build sucks because it isn't diversified, but play a build that only deals 1 damage type and suddenly it's not that important to diversify.

@GearboxOfficial I mean, this is why you should have different guns with different elements, or a gun without an element. I run 3 Jakobs shotties and 1 maliwan SMG to cover most enemies elemental resistances.

@GearboxOfficial Makes rabid stalkers seem fun

@GearboxOfficial I think the modifier needs to be cut down to a .5% for it to be tolerable.

@GearboxOfficial It's wild that they did this considering the same issue existed in BL3 with elemental immunity and VHs having whole builds dedicated to a single element, Zane cryo for example. The community hated it then. How did they learn nothing?

@GearboxOfficial Horrible modifier. Up there with centripetal but centripetal is way more common. They need to look at a lot of these modifiers and tweak them.

@GearboxOfficial these fuckers only show up in the element your build uses the most of dude

@GearboxOfficial Skill issue. 🤷🏻♂️

@GearboxOfficial So you’re mad that a game has an enemy that makes your little cheese build obsolete ?? Womp womp enjoy the game for having such a feature that eliminates your advantages

@GearboxOfficial My solution is to spam slippy and non-elemental gun, I don't do much damage but it's honest work...

@GearboxOfficial remove these elemental eater, one crit wonder (a few reasons, it kills melee and AS, but also several enemies have no evident weak spot, so its HARD to know where to hit them, mostly robots...) black hole reflector whatever mod instakills me in melee after kiling an enemy...

@GearboxOfficial To be honest, it’s a good modifier. It’ll either hinder you slightly or immensely just luck of the draw. Is that not one of the things you like about borderlands? About how random it can be? Also, most of us have different element types for these occasions, so just think ahead.👍

@GearboxOfficial Theres slso situations like bruce where he literally heals them 😭😂 like bruh ooo that shit got me mad loll. Unoptimized for kinetic+ follower using elements. Bad time. Centripital is way more copeable

@GearboxOfficial He eats elements. Starve him with normal bullets. Works for me every time

@GearboxOfficial Wombo combo solves every problem. I'd rather they fix some of the bugs instead of going straight into the nerf/buff/adjust cycle.

@GearboxOfficial That’s actually unbelievable

@GearboxOfficial they prolly just add an dlc shield that adds 20% kinetic damage to all your damage

@GearboxOfficial My question is how’d he get that thing to keep regenerating ammo so he can shoot infinitely

@GearboxOfficial I just push the rate of fire my Amon gatling gun build to the absolute max so that way they cant out eat the bullets i spitting out

@GearboxOfficial its Diablo 2 Resist monsters all over again

@GearboxOfficial I think this is not a bad mechanic, but still, 200% is equal to a lot, so dmg=healing, if it were 150-140% dmg>healing, it would just be a mob with strong resistances

@GearboxOfficial 100% agree, it should be just removed

@GearboxOfficial It’s legitimately the worst modifier ever.

@GearboxOfficial I'd at least prefer it to be per element. Like fire eater, cryo eater, etc
