I'm not typically a fan of Rocket Launchers, but I will break this beast out anytime. 2600 damage, 4 rocket clip, +173% damange, and "Monster Kill" red text (fires multiple rockets at a time), and 4x fire damage. Check out the images below and the BorderlandsGuide post where by the current owner.

Before you turn in "Another Piece of the Puzzle" quest, why not stop by New Haven to partake in some more Gearbox weirdness inspired by A Christmas Story? Did that last sentence sound weird? Yeah, it was, just like this easter egg. See the tutorial after the jump.

File this one under cool but useless, there is a hidden claptrap for those with mad jumping skills in Fyrestone. Unfortunately you can't actually get to him, and even if you could, he wouldn't give you the time of day. See below for a video of how to pogo on up there, and watch the little asshole taunt you.

If someone finds an egg in Borderlands crazier than this, I will personally... It doesn't matter, it doesn't get crazier than this. When you are getting your "I'm On a Boat" achievement in Treacher's Landing, shoot the oddly placed barrels in the following order to produce the ridiculous little scene seen in the video below.

You really haven't gotten the "You're On A Boat" secret XBL achievement yet? That's kind of embarrassing, but tell you what, watch the video below, go get it, and I won't bring it up again. Thank me later. In secret. Oh, and while you're there, do this other crazy easter egg.

Since release, Borderlands has been making waves just about everywhere. Between the relatively high reviews, the selling out in stores, and now the game climbing all the way to #1 on many charts, I think it's safe to say the game is an extreme success.

Keep wondering what that "Challenge Completed" text is that keeps popping up? Borderlands has a secondary set of achievements called challenges. These actually reward you with more than some gamerscore, XP! See below for the list of challenges, or you can find them in-game by tabbing over in your quest log.

Want your Brick to go faster? It's easy! Just go berserk, hit the menu, then when you return you will have canceled your berserk, but not the speed bonus! This only works as host unfortunately. Check the video out to see it in action.

Backpack getting a little too heavy? Starting your own legendary shop? Well you're going to need somewhere to store your rainy day legendaries, can't be carrying all that precious cargo around on your main, now can you? Well make a mule! Just create a new character, load a co-op game with both your main character and your new level 1 character and give the level 1 the items you want to store. It's as simple as that. If you want a really epic bank, you might want to get some more slots ...
