This new patch was just released!

Update v1.1.3 (Released 10/25/2012)
– Added a toggle for whether textures should fade or pop in when a higher-resolution version loads. High-end computers can disable this to avoid seeing lower-resolution textures streaming in.
– Added the ability to reset all challenge progress for a character once they’ve completed 85% of all non-DLC, non-area-specific challenge levels. This will keep the player’s current challenge bonuses and rank, but reset all challenge progress to 0 and allow challenges to be re-completed for additional ranks and bonuses. Resetting is available on the “challenges” screen of the status menu and will display as a tooltip at the bottom of the screen if the player has met the criteria.
– Fixed a bug where profile files set to “read only” were not being saved.
– Fixed a performance issue in Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty content with PhysX set to Medium or High.

Some nice updates!

You can get more BadAss / Bad Ass points this way in the game since you can reset them after reaching 85% total completion.

Also, Captain Scarlett DLC will become more playable, as that DLC did not work well for a lot of people and caused lag. Patch your game with this new update to fix it and go get some seraph crystals and weapons!

It’s also worth pointing out that people who bad issues such as Borderlands 2 not saving character data — it looks like this may fix that for you.

Borderlands 2 class – Salvador the Gunzerker…His name induces fear…His talents? Death!

With one gun in each hand, the Gunzerker is able to make use of two of the best weapons in the game at the SAME time!

This is important since while certain attack skills become less useful as time goes on (debateable: such as Axton the Commando’s turret or Gaige the Mechromancer’s Death Trap robot), skills pertaining to your actual weapons always stay good.

Think about it. In one hand, Salvador the Gunzerker could have the best weapon in Borderlands 2 — Conference Call (shotgun) — while in the other hand he could have the best Seraph gun in Borderlands 2 — Hyperion Actualizer. If you’re into E-Tech weapons, then a good alternative if you don’t want to farm seraph crystals, is to try to get the Best E-Tech Weapon in Borderlands 2 — the Predacious PBFG…but that’s a rocket launcher so it’s limited on shots.

He is the hardest boss in Borderlands 2 — Vermivorous the Invincible — and has around double the HP / Health of his thresher counterpart: Terramorphous the Invincible.

Vermivorous is a Varkid bug that has evolved completely from his Larval Varkid state.

To create this boss, you must have a Larval Varkid transform into an Adult Varkid…and then a Badass Varkid…Super Badass Varkid…Ultimate Badass Varkid…and then finally, into Vermivorous the Invincible.

It takes awhile…and a lot of patience.

Fighting him is even worse. The insect takes so long to kill after his morphosis, that you’ll want to be in a duo / co-op situation instead of attacking him solo. With a party, the difficulty may scale, but you’ll have more of a tactical advantage and someone to resurrect you (such as a Siren).
