Can You Beat Borderlands 2 if 100X as Many Enemies Spawn?

Borderlands two is a fantastic game, but... what if we could just fit more Borderlands into it? Well, with an enemy multiplier mod and just a bit more modding, the game can be a greater challenge than before. Now to just figure out how to make the game stable...

[@rngsmiles3979]

I honestly think that Krieg is the perfect character for this run. Not because his bloodsplosion skill has perfect synergy with absurdly large groups of enemies and his skill to obtain grenades on a kill. But because you can really self insert with the character and feel your mind slip away as the endless hordes of foes sprawl across the landscape in front of you.

[@GabelhelmSogarbraten]

Yeah everytime i run my max level gaige i just get increasingly frustrated until i end up clearing everything with a fibber, hive or twister Asking myself why i dont just go for bloodbath krieg who gets similar damage numbers at full accuracy and overall many more fun mechanics At normal and tvhm tho gaige was kinda fun to use walls and level geometry to apply dots around corners and behind cover

[@thebeybladethatwasusedtopa8846]

Honestly, you can flick a toothpick through cardboard so as a zer0 main. I gotta say you could probably one-shot bunker with it Also double fang can proc itself I don't know if that's common knowledge but this one time it happened to my dpuh and my game froze for like five minutes

you reaaaaally needed a mod that removed corpses immediately LMAO

[@macroglossumstellatarum5932]

I played 25x a while back, and there's a mod that allows you to reload the map but keep your position. Excellent for resetting the amount of corpses after each encounter to keep the framerate acceptable.

[@SpuddyCube]

It might be worth using if I ever do more with the mod. I know Commander has a fair few helpful little things. I don't tend to like using mods in general, but I might need to bite that bullet if I want things to run more smoothly in the future.

You can manually change the despawn timer in your game files. Saves alot of trouble when running enemy multiplier.

It's always strange, the things we look back on fondly.

[@SpuddyCube]

I got something similar with some of the loaders in Thousand Cuts, but Hero's Pass did _not_ get along well with Bloodsplosion.

[@flacciddice]

I am very glad this came on my ftp. Borderlands is close to me, given it's one of my tattoos. Especially when times are hard, it's nice to see it come by and grace me with it's presence. This was a lovely watch, thank you for doing this, despite how truly insane it is.

[@superscatboy]
