Badass ranks effectively replaced the weapon proficiency ratings in the first game, and comprise five challenge levels for a total of 166 Badass points, which are magically transformed into redeemable Badass tokens that you can use to boost stats.<\/p>\n<p>You can totally legally exploit this right at the beginning of the game by trading with a co-op buddy.

Lucky for you, me, and everybody else who wants to carry extra grenades, the bandit boss Bad Maw always drops the precious purples. Go to the Bloodshot Stronghold in Three Horns Valley and kill him for it. Then quit the game and do it all over again. Repeat as necessary.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Get ALL the best stuff<\/h3>\n<p>Two guns are better than one, especially if they&#8217;re both ultra-rare rocket launchers that do over 9000 damage per shot. To replicate any item in the game, join a co-op game and drop your stuff on the ground and have your buddy pick it up, then exit the game immediately without saving.\u00a0 When you rejoin the game, you&#8217;ll have your stuff back in your inventory. Everybody gets stuff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use this one at your own risk, though.<\/strong> James lost his ultra-rare rocket launcher when he dropped it and it fell right through the ground and into the vast, cold nothingness of unprogrammed space. And he wasn&#8217;t even trying to dupe the thing.
