Hey folks! We covered Proving Grounds last week (which is pretty underwhelming) so I spent the last week testing Circle of Slaughter! Hope this is helpful for those who are diving into the end game

Serious question here... I've ran prob 40 hours of slaughter shaft... the COV one, tons if legendaries got some annointed weapons, gave some away... but where the hell is the loot chess in there? I know where the 3000 one is it's easy to find and I've never done the one with the creatures, but seriously I've looked a couple different times for it and never found it.

It's worth noting the cistern of slaughter is locked until you've been to Eden 6, even though it's on Promethea. Just stops players seeing enemies earlier than they show up in the story.

circle of slaughter or graveward is what i farm sometimes just random bosses when i get bored

When I played the Slaughterhouse 3000 I didn’t know you could leave the arena to replenish ammo so when I got to the end with my Zane build and ran out of ammo I had to use my clone & drone combo to take out the bosses while I ran laps trying not to go into FFYL lol

Dude I remember watching your fallout 4 videos ages ago good to see you’re still making content

I played this with a new player and ranked up fast and had lovely weapons for the story

Dude this was the best borderlands international video I watched since launch. Your the first youtuber I I seen so far that actually said it's ok to lower the difficulty. That always made more sense to me.

Andrew Fisher FACTS bro

best way to farm is to keep repeating round 5. do 4 waves die and repeat again. round 5 can get crazy with loot drops. you will have about 100 legends on the floor after an hour.

TY very much. Need to go find these now!

Here is a build that worked great for me when I did TVMM3 solo. Zane with clone and barrier for dome and shock. Use points for freeze on crits. Then use the Storm sniper rifle. If shoots balls which shocks enemies using... crits. That freezes the mobs while the orbs continue to shock them into oblivion.

Great vid! I love playing this mode because you get awesome loot and level up really quickly! 😎

This was a fantastic video thank you very much.

Prismatic raak change which element they are immune to with a big nova, depending on what you shot them with. Hit with fire, they explode in a big fireball and now they deal fire and take no fire damage. Blue Fire and Red Rain expose a massive red weakpoint in their chest when you break one of their joints. Shoot that while they're stunned.

I feel the loot is best in Circle of Slaughter vs Slaughter Star 3000 but I like the Maliwan arena better. I think the enemies are more interesting (less rockets and anointed too haha).

I didn't realize each circle of slaughter had its own difficulties. I started off with Slaughterstar 3000 and then moved on to the COV one. I had to watch this video to find the third (and apparently easiest) slaughter that was tucked away within Meridan Complex. I was thinking it was getting easier for a weird reason, now I know why 😂

When you loon at builds make sure you use them like them a single player build sometimes stand no chance in multiplayer

I got 2 anointed speedloadin hellwakers back to back from Troy on mayhem 1. Lvl 50.

I have a moze build with vampyr grenades. I use a electric recurring hex with a bloodletter and transformer shield. My main gun is the flakker. As long as I throw gernades, I can walk through the slaughter star without being downed. The only time it doesn't work is when you get to blue fire and red rain, the hex gernade does not work well on bosses for some reason, so regeneration is brought to a halt. The wall on the left side is good cover against the bomb barrage, just peak out shoot and then duck behind cover. Red rain there is a overhang on the second floor, so you make his missile barrage and guns practically useless. He will hit you with a jump move that deals 20k damage to my shields. Thankfully he doesn't spam it repeatedly before it fully regens. Also there is a bug with the bosses where the loot gets stuck on the platforms they're one. You cannot jump to them to retrieve the legendaries you can cleary see when defeating them. In terms of legendaries drops, there is not many, somewhere around 4-8 per full run. The one thing it is good for is gaurdian ranks. I'm in the 150's and I still get 6-8 ranks per full run.

Moze with the Mother Bear Skill is so OP 😂 Especially when you max out the entire skill tree.

Great vid and info bro keep up the good wor6

Haven’t commented on anything in a while, but I just wanted to say that this is a really solid video. Extremely informative and I enjoyed watching, thanks for uploading.

yesterday i cleared all 3 on Mayhem 3. only slaughter shaft had good drops. got over 20 legendaries in that 5 rounds while in the others i only got 3 each

I always carry Homing grenades that split into 2 grenades and explode up to 3 times if im playing solo. Helps a ton with the flying Raks and helps with crowd control. Trust me, you'll never go back to regular grenades ever again.

I was literally looking up how to enter circle of slaughter like five minutes ago wtf 😂

Great video, thx “

I no longer need ammo. If you have moze and invest into the bottomless mags perk with COV weapons, you will never run out of ammo so is good for these arenas.

Trust me!!! The one where you fight the cov is definitely the best for legendary's my map was filled after a few rounds. And you lv like crazy

Yeah there are better ways to farm loot but it still felt rewarding before the nerf now it’s rare to see much loot in the Maliwan circle of slaughter in comparison to the bandit one.

Chupacabratch offline. I've gotten just about every good legendary gun from him, including lyudas.

While maliwan is most fun to do cause less bullshit, its the worst loot wise. Im gonna put cistern of slaughter in the middle because rounds with rakk or or the flying bugs seem to fly a bit too high and it draws the round out longer than it needs to be. The slaughter shaft is the best loot wise but by far the worst due to how strong the bandit faction is and how frequently they nerf things the player has. I dont like complaining about difficulty but if they could turn explosives down a bit and reduce screen fog when being shot by rocket launchers cause there is alot of spam there it would be nice

I finished the main story campaign earlier last week. After logging back in the other day, I forgot to skip the tutorial. Do I now have to replay the campaign in order to reach such places?

cistern of slaughter has a broken mechanic/exploit, you can lure the rak into the lift, take it to the top and trap them, they don't attack you back and are frozen on the spot lol

I used a double penetrating Kill-o-the-wisp, Skeksil, Lyuda and night hawkin if I remember correctly. Also Mirv or Recurring Hex with either shock or radiation damage are really good there.

If it's gambling it should be progressive gambling. Like less lame shit after a certain level. If you have a bank full of anointed God rolls, you should get mostly anointed items. A high Guardian rank and hours played would be the prerequisite to qualify. And no cap on skill points, we should be able to max out all three skill trees after the game has been out for a while. Guardian rank would apply here too. Veteran rewards.
