The first round of our inaugural 360 Borderlands PvP tournament has drawn to a close. Many brave battles were fought. Mighty warriors fell. Slightly mightier warriors triumphed.

So in the interest of more fellings and triumphs, it's time for round 2. Same rules as the first round except that now duels will be best of 5.

Post your results in this thread. Below are the first round results and the second round pairings. Have fun and may your guns shoot straight.

For new school players, modding weapons is the new black.  But for old-school scruffs who like to get their hands dirty, “farming” weapons is still the way to build your inventory.

New to Borderlands? Looking for ways to catch up with the level curve? Here’s a list of 5 techniques to up your level:

1.       Do quests- all of them! This one may seem obvious, but the nearest well for experience is that local quest board.
2.       Get your higher-level friends to power level you. Have them host a game and start at the Eridian Promontory. Join in and sit back while they run ahead and kill enemies- you’ll tear through levels in no time.

If you signed up for the PvP tournament, mosey over to the PvP forums to see who you are dueling against in the first round.

Yes, that’s right, I said the M-word. Borderlands and modding have thus far had a controversial relationship, but don’t worry- I’m not here to give my opinion. This article is to inform the everyday mercenary as to what it is and how it’s done. So, if you have any interest in the underground world of modding, read on.
