Out of the Blue

Had a weird experience playing Borderlands 2 on Monday with my mutant cohorts, as we tried to kill Pete the Invincible in another of the game's over-the-top boss-fights. There's an exploit that makes this near unwinnable battle possible involving a weird wall hop to get to a safer position to do battle, but I was the only one of our crew who could not accomplish this seemingly simple maneuver, which involved spamming the jump button to get on a ledge. We theorized my keyboard was at fault, but a little Googling shows my Logitech G510 gets high marks for not having any USB ghosting issues, so I don't know what's up. The irony here is that I am considered the best player in the group at reaching difficult spots, often hanging around the rooftops of Sanctuary like the proper Batman Zer0 I am, but this one ledge remained maddeningly out-of-reach.

Sorry, I'm all about the sniping.

Well this was super ultimate baddassery mode, or whatever it was, so it was not trivial to say the least.

I think I only fought him on Ultimate Vault Hunter mode with my Krieg build, which is essentially immortal anyway, so that would probably explain that.

But I've definitely seen bosses become truly insane when faced with multiple people. The first time me and my buddy fought ehh... the big robot dude, who supposedly beat the original vault hunters, he was absolutely kicking our ass. So I was shitting bullets when I had to fight him solo, only to watch him die in like 20 seconds.
