Future bad gun runs I want to try to add more themes to it like “CYBBL2 with only the Infinity?” But I tape the trigger down so I’m constantly shooting or something along those lines. And as for the pirate skin I’m not sure.

[@BlazingShadowSword]

I think Flynt gets confused because he uses his arena as an attack. He may be perfectly capable of shooting you, but he's trying to use his flame floor, but he's not in the arena, so his AI gets completely borked.

[@williamtimonen6814]

I like to imagine that Blade had some really Strange skill trees that made most of the drawbacks positives for him.

I think my favorite thing about the Captain Blade gear is the idea of the curses, and how it's not some insane thing like with the Bain. They're interesting and make you think of how to use them, I wish they'd implement a "curse" to other weapons for a good trade-off

[@benjaminwheeler7055]

Attempted this back in OP8, and it was next to impossible. My heart goes out to you for tackling this at OP10.

[@TheAxelandx1]

Honestly this might've been better on Krieg as he gains a lot of bonuses from being hurt and can use melee more efficiently. Though to be fair- he is absolute hell to play in endgame.

[@LilGasmask]

Yeah main reason for picking Sal was to have ALL curses applied at once for the theme of it.

"I shoot them and we die" This really takes me back to my noob Axton days of pure UVHM suffering in Torgue DLC. Only when I somehow got to Rex with the best thing in my arsenal being a corrosive Bandit SMG (and two green shields, amp and adaptive ones), it was more like "I shoot him and I die".

among all the items the orphan maker is the only " decent " for Op 10, the shield and rapier are kind of useful for normal mode and TVHM, but the relic and grenade are more useless than useful, and also great video

[@eyoshinthemaximum]

Orphan Maker is awesome with money shot sal, so much damage at one time, its amazing

[@aWhileTotodile]

OM is far more than decent, vgrip rustlers OM is one of the best shotguns in the whole game, especially on salv where off handing it negates the downsides. also yeah, moneyshot chaining

[@samuelgehm5149]

The ogre and flakker are actually good weapons. The other two guns fucking suck tho. Also the love thumper is gonna need triple tediore unless I'd kill myself. This actually looks genuinely hard. Good suggestion

[@ThatBucket]

If you did not know, whenever you get to defend the beacon. If you save and exit I believe eight times in that area it auto completes the challenge for you and you could just fast travel to sanctuary. If you would like to do a run to where you do as many glitches as possible that would be a really useful one to skip a lot of time

[@lucydrop8105]

I heard it was breaking the beacon 8 times, which can be done using the swordsplosion friendly fire glitch where you drop it before the bullets hit the target, In this case being the beacon, then if you save quit it just completes it. You might also just be able to save quit 8 times and it works idk i havent tried

[@LilGasmask]

Not sure because I see speedruners break it. So maybe it takes a couple save quits? Not sure.

[@jonoxes8662]

I believe I've seen both done. But I've done the save quitting myself. Going in to Zaffords bar and then to the beacon, save quitting will then allow you to spawn outside Zaffords bar as well. incase someone didn't know. Tbf that will be easier since using the sword splosion in challenge runs with other weapons might be considered cheating.

[@tylerstudybaker]

I just realized the Otto idol relic from b03 is literally that shield. Also amazing idea fun run (to watch). Storm only zero now.

[@robhigh6169]

[@josefstalin9678]

Man was one monster shotgun away from being transported into the game itself, Tron style.

[@petrus4]

Freedom Gulag has to be done in a particular sequence. It's similar to your story of the Arizona fight in the EG run. You have to go down the far right hand corridor for starters, and also run past the sensors because otherwise they can keep spawning loaders indefinitely. The Warden occasionally breaks between waves, for long enough to give him some crits, and IIRC he doesn't health regen, so I just fight through about three waves, critting him when I can, and then he dies.

Also, about the beacon fight at overlook. If you trigger the save point at the holy spirit and then save quit 8 times, repairing the beacon each time, the fast travel station will appear and you don't have to fight a single enemy.
