FWOB is playing Borderlands 2, I have no words for my excitement. ALLEN WRITE SOME DIALOGUE HERE!

*We can get atleast 30 videos of this** *When the playlist ends,its at 29* *MISSION FAILED*

[@jakestavinsky3480]

Side things that FWOB talked about: Yes Snipers are really good quick scoped, they even have a bonus crit bonus (along with Jakobs guns) Phaselock just does some quick damage on duels The Bee used to apply bonus damage on listed pellets (like shotguns example, 40x7) but got nerfed. It fully applies to non listed pellets like the Sandhawk. The DLCs are one of the few amazing examples of GOOD DLC. The Gearbox guns are good but they fall off pretty far. You can change your skin/name/head at new U stations, there’s one in non-spoiler big town and Liars Berg, which is the one your at. Second Wind IS a fun mechanic. Zer0 is more than Ninja lul, but he speaks haiku a lot and it’s funny Gaige has a robot, is mostly about Anarchy, hella damage, and richoteting bullets Maya can CC and heal Salvador is just broken af, double guns, damage resistance, health AND ammo regen Gun have parts which effect stats, and if they match the brand (example, Vladof grip on a Vladof Assault Rifle) they get a bonus! It’s cool! (Unless your a perfectionist!) Gun brands have mechanics like: Vladof Fire fast as fuck boiiiiii Bandit have shit stats, but hella big magazines Torgue guns EXPLODE AND USE CAPITAL LETTERS Jakobs have a “fire as fast as fast as you can pull the trigger”, low mags, high damage, fun as hell Dahl have burst fire when ADS, very little recoil Maliwan are always elemental and have higher chance to cause effects Hyperion are bad guys but have good guns, they have huge recoil until they don’t. They get more and more accurate as you fire There’s the “pay to win grenade” but it probably is the grenade that caused the most accidental suicides I have played this game way too much and I love it and I have no life btw I’m 12 I love you FWOB

ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER MADE HELL YEAH GAMERS ITS TIME TO RISE also happy birthday to one of the other greatest gamea ever made minecraft

[@JadeOfficial]

I've never played Borderlands game so I'm looking forward for these funny bois to show me it

[@Contrerasj1337]

you guys no goddamn idea how long i’ve wanted this series

[@jonahverhoog]

In the pre sequel several characters had perks that unlocked a special melee attack that was on cooldown. Vending machines were also useful in it unlike BL2

[@The_name_of_me]

Bl2 also had that

[@twistedjoke6636]

I haven't even started the video but this is the most excited I've been for a let's play. Borderlands 2 is my favorite game ever I could litterly play it forever.

[@theredguardowen8083]

I can’t remember whether or not suggested this, but I cannot express my joy at seeing you guys playing it.

[@Juicydeath1025]

I've been playing this game a lot lately for the hype of Borderlands 3. It makes me super excited to see FWOB starting a series on this.

[@TJminty]

I love this game too. As far as split-screen, frame drops mostly occur during explosive heavy animatics. Not too many problems outside of that.

[@PunmasterJesus]

Oh my god I’ve been wanting this since the beginning of the channel holy shit

[@theshekellord]

You guys may try to get rid of the Fireworks grenade, but you should keep it. It’s one of the only weapons that levels with your character.

[@ryab3432]

Imperfect Yoshi but it’s trash

[@soup6478]

how is it trash? it does more damage than a fastball if you’re good with it

[@kibblesthecommunisministic5684]

Skyrocket is one of the better early game grenades

[@pastykake897]

There's a learning curve to aiming it properly because it has an odd trajectory-it goes straight and then swoops up before it detonates-but once you get the hang of it, it's good in the early game for carpet bombing a wide area.

[@Jakster840]

@@ryab3432 it's extremely powerful, especially in small spaces.

[@shaggyeggbeater2753]

I love this game to death. Im so glad FWOB started playing this

[@brosomejonny]

Heck yeah Major this is one of my favorite games too so I'll make sure to watch all the ads

[@TheChesireMouse]

Been waiting a while for this one

[@disaegg6411]

i died laughing at the start for no reason hearing someone whisper "yes yes yes"

[@MangaManifaction]

Man, now I really want to go back and play on my Mechromancer. Seriously, she's my favourite. Man, Don going sniper and primary bot is sad. Anarchy ricochet with shotgun build is best build

[@aeondiablo4693]

Hearing Major's excitement about playing this game really makes up for the last arc of Mario Party. Feels good to be a Major-head

[@KillzoneMD]

This is gonna be the best series. My favorite game its too good.

[@RST_Omega]

This makes me obscenely happy

[@dinoboi6268]

Omg I am so happy they are playing this!

[@kbdshadow1799]

i haven't even watched the video yet and i already love this series

[@Darklespectrum]

thanks for the "i got a rock" dad i make that joke a lot and nobody ever acknowledges it

[@elizabethconners6286]

Omg my friend just recommended this to me. And i've beaten this game like 6 times and I'm so happy someone is playing it.

[@Sonik644]

Some things - melee overrides are skills you can learn on certain trees (they're okay at best) - XP is shared - Money is collected by everyone but they each spend it by themselves - the classes don't really have weapons they're better with unless directly stated via skills - someone should've picked krieg - weapon manufacturers have different traits (though you guys may know this) - The more you go down the less time you have in fight for your life

[@Edujs23]

Why pick up Krieg? Just because he is funny?

[@Sonik644]

@@Edujs23 No because he's arguably one of the best characters in the game

[@ryab3432]

Lascaux and Bee shield is a good substitute for the sand hawk until you get to it, it’ll be in a puddle in frost burn canyon and has no recoil and shoots in a bull pattern.

[@dragonbreath2087]

Hecc yeah I love excited major. He is SSS tier fwob member.

[@Brite__]

This will be infinitely better than any mario party arc

[@jakestavinsky3480]

AHHHHHH FWOB IS COVERING ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES OF ALL TIMES I AM A HAPPY BOY TOO I AM TWELVE BY THE WAY

[@icemasteru9093]

Wait I agree with you but we're canonically 13 now

[@jakestavinsky3480]

plot twist i’m eleven not twelve

[@tde4438]

This is like the one instance I’ve seen of people divvying up the loot instead of it evolving into all-out war~

[@cillianorafferty4934]

I'm fucking stoked to see your guy's play through of this game.

[@tacofever2576]

I’ve been waiting for this playthrough since major mentioned that he liked it

[@Chray0]

Immediately add to favorites

[@patknack7368]

Hyped for the series! One request tho, can we have nametags or icons on screen so we can keep track of who is playing as who?

[@TJminty]

Firework grenades scale with your level, so you will probably never find a better one.

[@youarepu3]

Was just sad that spyro 2 ended, thank you all for this

[@BlazingGryphon]

I find the coincidence in this hilarious. I had just started playing it again on my ps4 about a week ago and then they release this.

[@SoulofCthulhu]

“We can get at least 30 videos out of this”

[@leviponce7730]

Most charcters in the pre sequel have super powered melees on cooldown. Jack, Nisha, Athena and Wilhelm have them. Aurelia and Claptrap have team buffs you can apply to their melee button. Imo presequel charcters are some of the more fun ones to play in the series

[@stivaoblonskystan]

I love Major even more than I used to now

[@strafer4851]

I enjoyed that loot hoarder reference at 1:00am

[@coughy6100]

I wasn't excited for this series until I saw that all 4 people were on it

[@AceHobby1]

Don't worry Cade, I'm on it! Fwob Borderlands 2 death and FFYL counter (FFYL=Fight For Your Life) Episode 1 Cade (top left) 3 FFYL Dillon (top right) 3 FFYL Don (bottom left) 1 FFYL Major (bottom right) 4 FFYL, 1 death

[@CDeity]

As soon as I heard all four Fwobers, I knew I would be happy

[@wowwhoajeez9195]

high tier series incoming

[@KuroskiX3812]

I was like ....wait are they all playing?And then cade said were all here and i was like yeeeees!!!!

[@SirGoonsquire]

I bought this game because of you guys I've never played borderlands before

[@Depression_timelost]

Borderlands 2? THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

[@squeakymeow]

Cade the heavy, dillon the sniper, Don the sniper and major the sniper.

[@LoZLink1331]

Omg this is sick I’m so happy

[@ellamartell728]

We really are in a golden age of fwob, haha boat

[@fallenangelmaxthemad9]

siren is elemental weapons. gaige is smg and assault rifle. and someone took the gun that knuckledragger dropped. it shoots as quickly as you can pull the trigger

[@d13da14b]

I hope they play this like me and my friend where they fight over/just quick grab all the loot.

[@Groozer330]

Never thought I wanted something that much, and I get this notification

[@fastsilver1455]

This gonna be epic

[@rowanyo5031]

The pre sequel was fine it just didn’t feel finished tbh

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

I just felt like it was more of the same, but with some extra gimmicks thrown in. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but still.

[@Cheesepuff44]

But like Willhelm's writing was God tier.

[@DeRM0907]

It didn't feel finished because the fanbase was too short with it, so in response to all the hate, Gearbox cancelled all future DLC for it

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

@@DeRM0907 To be fair though, if it took dlc to make the game feel like it was finished, then it wasn't a good game because that would mean it wasn't finished. I'm not saying that I think it wasn't finished, as I was perfectly content with what I got, but if people felt it was unfished and only dlc could've fixed it, then that would make it comparable to Anthem in their eyes.

[@wumpuswoo9946]

Yes! You guys are playing borderlands!

[@xander5104]

I just started playing BL 1 and I speed ran it to watch this.

[@cornwalmart6873]

This makes me the big happy

[@PudgyPro]

I really hope we eventually get to see FWOB fight a raid boss.

[@patknack7368]

Seeing them fight against Terramorphus or Pyro Pete would be really hype.

[@mello6898]

No way fwob is playing bl2 and bl3 is coming out at the end of the year best year

[@bent8413]

Yay I love this game so much.

[@capt.crimsnbeard]

I would watch this series if only i haven't played this game 15+ times myself.

[@quartzom3131]

YES THIS GAME IS GOOD AND FWOB IS GOOD WHICH MAKES IT REALLY GOOD

[@roberthouston3532]

Its finally here

[@raccoondogzz]

Well time for me to actually experience Borderlands

[@swafty5813]

OoOooO my favorite song! Royalty free violin!

[@superanxiety261]

Tales from the borderlands was great too and very funny

[@CatBoyCass]

holy shit yes i get to criticize you guys for making every mistake and misspeaking, im going to hatelove this series

[@lunas442]

Goddamn uploaded today after I kinda gave up on BL2 since I'm mostly solo only and I have to kill raid bosses for all the rest of the things I want in the game, nice.

[@freshbroceries4601]

The fact nobody chose kreig kinda worries about the integrity of this play through.

[@fardeenhaider7978]

IM SO EXCITED!!!

[@minimumtuna9611]

happy birthday mr epic gamer

[@Snazzysnail15]

Watch that the top number on guns is not the dps but the damage of one shot

[@Effrenatus]

THE HYPE IS UNCONTAINABLE

[@dylanbennett891]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IM SO READY!

[@booksen5327]

Borderlands 2 is one of those games that you just have to play at one point

[@keanuegerton4576]

yeeeeeeeesssssssss this is gonna be so good

[@louisbowels6858]

Thanks you dads and mom

[@MiloPrime]

I always love when Cade speaks Spanish

[@nicjoy4407]

I had no clue this was their four person time slot, I thought it would be the two person.

[@pokemongamelover.5014]

Exp is given equally, and when you grab ground money, everyone gets it, but spending the money ismdifferently.

[@sehnzuu3482]

I’m so excited

[@PrettyGirlSnuffFilm]

like to increase the chances of world drop DPUH with matching grip

[@PrettyGirlSnuffFilm]

Man I played this game like 100 times

[@cringemcmeme2793]

FRICK YES GAMERS, THE GAME THEY'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT

[@thegoodoldays911]

TBH the air mechanic in pre sequel was fine. I think after a certain point you can just start treating it as a boost meter instead of a resource you need to keep track of.

[@brandonponce5387]

U get exp equally even if one guy isn't near or shooting and u get exp from reviving allies

[@mrbluesky5953]

This is going to be a long one

[@BlackKatKam]

I kinda wish they had an overlay because it is kinda hard to keep track of whose screen is whos with borderlands being such a hectic game. Hopefully, it'll become clearer once they unlock their class abilities.

[@zeebo30]

Aw i was hoping to see Dad do anarchy when he picked gaige

[@btblue8540]

I agree with major this is the best game

[@TheMythicalMC]

I don't care what y'all say destiny will always hold a very special place in my heart

[@Oshawotter48]

HOLY SHIT ITS HERE

[@mello6898]

What the heck fwob how come you don't know every little detail about my FAVORITE VIDEO GAME FWEOOB
