Now that everyone is starting to get their 50s, the next thought on everyone's mind is, "Where do I get the guns?".

Simply exit to the menu and reload once you hit them and repeat.

Looks like it works best with sticky nades, best tried with low-power grenades, as the power doesnt affect how high you can jump, but does affect how much you're going to hurt you...

When Fast Traveling in Playthrough 2, you will notice that most areas are unlocked from the start. This can be very helpful to speed your way to later areas. For instance once the Vault was ready to be encountered, I simply fast-traveled right to the end-boss, instead of trekking through multiple areas and enemies. There was also a neat glitch when I did this. The cinematic had a gun reticle enabled, and I could switch weapons and shoot invisible bullets at the center of the screen. Useless...
