I Got the Platinums for the Borderlands Trilogy!

This video was a lot of fun to make! Sorry it took a while, though; I was struggling a lot on Borderlands 2. I may go for the spinoff games as well, so stick around if you wanna see those. Hope you enjoy the video!

Getting a few comments asking about my early game infinity, so imma just answer it here: During the 10th anniversary they gave codes out that gave the infinity, lyuda, and an op 10 unkempt harold (I sold the Harold so if you notice me having $13M, that's why)

[@Director_of_the_false_last_act]

I was actually typing out that question when I saw this but anyways awesome video man

[@autobotzapof0002]

Why did you sell A HAROLD? That’s one of the best guns in the game!

[@zer0-959]

​@@autobotzapof0002 selling right away is not a bad move. The harold consumes too much ammo in early game. And the harold is easy to farm

[@autobotzapof0002]

@@zer0-959 but if he used the code I think he did that was prepped for his level cap maxing out.

I sold the Harold because I have no plans of reaching op 10, and I couldn't use it unless I reached op 10

Then the game added insult to injury by giving you a Silver for simply finding all locations

[@ChaosNoahV]

I remember doing it with my friend and tbh we hated doing BL1 more than 2, cause the stupid moxxi tournament ones were pain, not hard but we hated how long it took Edit: oh and also farming for the drops from claptraps in the DLC

[@cashbanucita0025]

He didn't do the dlc so I do not grant platinum

[@lazypaladin]

Whether this was intentional or not: BL 1 and 2 have a Achievement Pair that oddly go well together: _My Brother's an Italian Plumber, Definitely an Italian Plumber._

[@ethanbond2009]

As someone who has previously done all 3 of these, the platinum trophy isn't really that hard to get. 100% trophies is the hard part. Cutting the dlcs out cuts out all of the hardest bosses, challanges, and circles of slaughter. Thats the REAL challange id like to see done here! But congrats regardless!

[@ph8808]

sorry for the late reply mate ive been hella busy with University Exams so I havent really had time. Either way the Moxxi Arena DLC in BL1 really burned me out so I was planning on taking a break anyway. Hopefully in the winter I can progress a bit more in BL1 and maybe do some BL3 because I havent really played that game as much as its not my personal favourite

[@pekonipappa9292]

watching you fight bunker with zero and not one shotting it reminds me when i first played bl2 and didnt no anything. the good old days

[@boyishdude1234]

As a Lilith main, it's harder to get kills with the Siren's action skill because it's a melee combat move, which doesn't do much damage even with the nova explosion(s) pitching in to help, and this becomes especially problematic at higher levels because your action skill does low damage but the enemies have way more health. In addition, as I recall, it does more damage the less time is left on your Phasewalk state, so it does more damage the more time you hold off on doing the melee attack, though I could be misremembering. TL;DR The enemy basically has to be at really low health in order for Lilith's Phasewalk to be able to kill them. It's a lot easier to kill enemies with the Action Skills of the other three characters, especially Roland's and (as I recall) Mordecai's.

[@benrogencamp258]

It's really interesting watching someone play these games and not taking an optimal build and gun path. I think it's something of a borderlands rite of passage to pick Zer0 and end up with a completely scuffed melee build. Congratulations.

[@danksaucejeff5441]

Giving me flashbacks to the first time i played borderlands its good and all, but i started with bl2 cause my brother introduced me to the series. Honestly all the games slap, even tho bl1 was a bit slower feeling than bl2 i enjoyed my time playing it.

[@Flippirino]

@@Shardyx it was a good idea as a concept in the past to meet an employee or creator of the game But nowadays seen as bad/annoying which is understandable But at least they made it so anyone who has it can give it and not just having to be in a game with an employee

I always thought it was interesting every game had a flynt that was related to each other Theres Baron flynt, captain flynt and Zane flynt and I for some reason think there’s one called sparky flynt probably a fever dream

[@boyishdude1234]

The main reason the Maliwan Slaughter is so hard in Borderlands 3 is because it's bugged. If you die and have to retry a round, it will bug out and put enemies from later waves in that round into the existing wave earlier than it's supposed to, which makes for virtually unwinnable fights.... if it weren't for the fact that this also means you don't have to kill every enemy to get wave completion tracks in the quest..? I didn't technically complete the Maliwan Slaughter legit back when the game first came out and I was going for 100%. I got put in a rage-inducing, unfair situation by the game, completed the quest without even killing the bosses, never mind the leftover mobs, because of the bug, and I decided to look the gift horse in the mouth and turn in the quest instead of trying to kill everything. If the Circles of Slaughter are making you angry as the Siren, who is a pretty strong character to my knowledge, you would have hated doing them as Zane back when the game first came out, because Zane was easily the weakest character at launch. To my knowledge, this bug still exists on current patch, so Gearbox never fixed it, but I think that's probably for the better. Two bosses that are active at the same time that cannot take Critical Damage absent FL4K's Action Skill (to my knowledge) that are super tanky and force you to take tons of damage every time they jump into the air and slam into the ground (not avoidable damage to my knowledge) is obviously terrible design and it baffles me that that encounter is even in the game, because that unfair, poorly designed garbage somehow also made it past playtesting and quality assurance.

[@edenengland1883]

getting the trophies for TPS might be an issue in the future, "I welcome your attack, fool" requires beating a very hard arena without going into FFYL, "That helped, right?" requires getting 2 very rare claptrap action skills, and an achievement i dont know the name of requires beating a certain side mission with 4 people in the party
