Cheat Games Borderlands
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.
