[@ThePoohat]

bloodwing drops the skullmasher it's just a really horrible grind edit: it's actually 'the son of mothrakk' after you kill bloodwing once

[@Chenexas]

oh... well yeah, it's miserable to farm, considering how you always spawn on the start of the wildlife preserve if you reset, and even then I doubt I would have dropped it in two runs

[@andrewmellors5035]

​@@Chenexas you can cut off more than half the trek by going in and out of the biodome area if you have the dlc unlocked

[@Chenexas]

@@andrewmellors5035that's interesting, I never would have thought about that

It is my official headcanon that the "moonshot" that finishes The Warrior off is actually Jeremy, descending from the heavens to smite the unworthy with his fury

[@Chenexas]

I love the sound of that, Jeremy really was the mvp of this run ngl

[@brandoncolon3095]

I love that people are still making challenges. Hats off to you

[@Chenexas]

and I will continue making them! :D

Borderlands 2, is by far my favorite game, and it makes me so, so happy to see a challenge vid on it.

[@Chenexas]

I love Borderlands 2 myself, and I will continue to make challenge videos to continue the legacy, but thank you for your support! ❤

[@zeke-p2r]

great vid don't give up on your account you seem like you would become a major creator one day

[@Chenexas]

I will not give up on this channel! thank you a whole lot! ❤

I feel like he could cuz he's a good KZbinr But borderlands 2 it's starting to die so it's hard to become big on the borderlands games

[@Chenexas]

@@Wooddchipsis Borderlands actually dying? because I've seen videos of Borderlands made out last year and they have a 1M+ views, or was it some random comeback that happened last year?

I love your ideas bro, i'd add some filler background music/noise to make it a little more natural sounding. But your vids go great with playing chill games

[@Chenexas]

thank you! ❤ on my next video I've drastically increased the game volume and I will also look for some new music to put in the background!

Jeremy ascended to godhood, as any Godliath does when his work is done.

[@TheFalseEsquire]

I feel that Salvador would’ve been better off for this challenge as he could dual wield “boss guns”. But that’s for future me to deal with when doing this challenge. It’s a great video regardless. I’ll keep an eye out on your channel for more content!

[@Chenexas]

yeah, but I wanted to pick another character for this run just to make it more interesting as I picked Sal the last time, best of luck to you when doing this challenge yourself tho! ❤

[@flyingbuscit7037]

Great video! I think the game audio could be turned up so there is less dead air, but I still had fun watching! Keep up the hard work!!

[@Chenexas]

thank you so much! ❤yes, next time I will turn up the game audio and my own microphone so everything can be heard easier :)

HANDSOME JACK IS A NOOB FOR BEING A HERO BUT GOOD VILLAIN BUT THE OTHER BOSSES ARE GOOD. 4:22

[@Chenexas]

uhh...

[@Yeheah]

The real challenge would be: "Can you beat Borderlands 2 without any boss loot?"

[@Chenexas]

actually that could be a good idea... because even enemies like Boll and Savage Lee are considered bosses in the wiki...

[@shorkan1000]

Joltzdude did a "no uniques Krieg" run a few years ago. He managed to beat the game, but endgame content was a bridge too far

Just for ask but how many hour u have on bl2 ? :3

[@Chenexas]

320 hours in total! 120 on Steam and 200 on Epic Games :D

[@reddestiny3809]

@@Chenexas cute :3 i actualy dont rember the Total hour but i played Borderlands 2 from 2012 and never stop starting from PS4 next i move on PC on steam if i rember i have 3 or almost 4k hour then i also have bl 2 on Epic and there i have another 1k hour and i buy it this year to on Nintendo switch with probably 60 hour played xd So in Total maybe i can have more then 5/6 or more becouse i dont know the time on PS4 but probably 10k hour should be the right played hour :D

[@reddestiny3809]

So if u Need ask something of the game Just tell me xd i know everything of the game :3

[@Techhunter_Talon]

3:41 Yeah, it literally rolled with a grip and barrel that adds damage, if I recall correctly. Only thing missing is an actual prefix bonus that also adds damage.

[@Chenexas]

I was wondering why it was so op... thank you for telling me! :)

[@PolishBagle]

Is that Explorers by Hinkik I hear in the background, 25 decimals quiter than the rest of the video?

[@Chenexas]

I think it is! I don't actually know if it is 25 decibels quieter, though, but it could be!

[@cashgun7186]

I thought this was gonna be boss uniques only,gave me an idea for my next run

[@courier-ec6zj]

I enjoy Saturn's hive drop. It's a corrosive launcher that sends out homing... Needles? Anyways it's fun with the bee shield.

[@Chenexas]

it sounds so op, would have put the final boss on easy mode lol

[@courier-ec6zj]

@@Chenexas you'd think so. It's actually fairly well balanced. But getting the drunk effect with the grog and getting off a shot or two is op

[@Thedrunkcat]

A borderlands with only uniques would be fun (a unique is any gun with flavor text and isn't a legendary)

[@Chenexas]

unfortunately that challenge has already been done by LookIntoGaming :(

[@Thedrunkcat]

@@Chenexas oh sorry

[@Chenexas]

@@Thedrunkcat it's okay, I still really appreciate the fact that you gave me a suggestion! :)

[@acerw7366]

I think he meant items that have special drop rates for bosses like the hornet from knuckle dragger or Flynn tinderbox or the bonus package great video none the less although I may recommend looking for other background music terraria has a great ost and many KZbinrs use it you can also use calamity’s ost just a suggestion though keep up the good work

[@Chenexas]

would have been interesting to try with those drops, also yeah I will try to find new music for the next video, I am starting to feel like playing Explorers for 20 minutes straight is a bit boring :D

Shouldnt the boss chest be considered boss loot??

maybe? but I'd consider it chest loot as it came from a chest :D

[@ImOfficiallyLost]

@@Chenexas it's a unique video idea and u funny

[@TheDarkanianRebellion]

Im fairly certain you had a hornet drop the second time but it clipped into the ground it typically does this if you kill knuckledragger up top

[@miikasimola2164]

This was a really fun video to watch. Maybe if you could get rid of the keyboard sounds and have different songs playing throughout the video and etc, it would boost the quality even further. Also i personally think it might be better to record the commentary afterwards instead of live, but that's just me. I hope to see these types of videos in the future:)

[@Chenexas]

I'll experiment a bit in the next video and get rid of the keyboard sounds + have more commentary recorded afterwards, I'll see how that goes, but thank you for giving me such detailed feedback! :)

[@monke6776]

Can you beat borderlands with receiving the minimum amount of XP? The success bar for this one would be ultimately up to you

[@Chenexas]

I'd need to find a mod for that, but I could try it one day when I have a lot of time! :D

[@DomoTheTrickster]

You mind if i steal this idea? its a fire challenge idea and ill gladly give credit

[@JJ-bw4ct]

I tried doing this challenge and gave up. Glad someone picked up the torch to do it instead. My insanity was just…gone. Edit: I just noticed, its any gear. My restriction was just purple to legendary loot only. But including DLC bosses to this, honestly kinda interesting.

[@Chenexas]

only purple to legendary gear is crazy, respect to you for doing this challenge yourself, and adding that on top but yeah since I allowed myself to use any gear dropped from a boss I decided to allow myself to kill each boss only 3 times

[@alfonzocamero]

Is it possible to beat borderlands with only boss loot, yes. Can you do it with only 3 runs pre boss, huh idk. It took me 210 runs to even get a legendary from the warrior once while a different go at it once took me 4 trys to get a perfect fire CC from the warrior. So its literally impossible to know if your going to get good stuff or be bond by whites and greens.

[@Chenexas]

yeah, but seems like I got above average luck during this run so it wasn't that bad, also 210 warrior kills before any legendary is crazy

[@alfonzocamero]

@@Chenexas no lie I dropped it for like a year after it happened. Went back to borderlands, at least then all I had to do was look at their hands.

[@blazingsword2578]

Btw something interesting Knuckle Dragger. (The bullymong boss) is actually confirmed to be female

[@courier-ec6zj]

I'm... Surprised you aren't using the blockhead. It's one of the best tediore shotguns at that level, because of it's fixed pattern and ricochet projectiles. Not to mention it's always gonna be a good throwable wen you reload with most of the mag still there.

[@Chenexas]

it was dropped from a badass creeper, so I wasn't allowed to use it :) (its not a story boss or a final boss from a DLC)

[@courier-ec6zj]

Ahhh, I see. Tbh I would probably disagree here, mostly because I like both the blockhead and crossbow, and both get outclassed real quick (crossbow by lyudima, blockhead by the heartbreaker). But it's almost entirely bais.

[@mariosmatzoros3553]

​@@courier-ec6zjWhat do you mean you disagree? The badass creeper isn't considered a boss and the challenge was only boss loot.

I'm surprised at the inclusion on mini-bosses. Mostly because they are poorly defined, and could include any names enemy, or none.

[@Chenexas]

yeah it was a bit of a tricky situation, I thought that mentioning that all main story bosses are included would clear it up, but maybe i should have also mentioned that all bosses that are in the boss category in the Borderlands wiki are allowed

actually maybe not, because it includes side quest bosses like Boll...
