How Borderlands 2 Was Beaten In Under 1 Hour

[@Joltzdude139]

The impossible time! This is a segmented speedrun done in under 1 hour. You can see the full run here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKCYp5eYgtKde80

i'd like see you react to the whooole speedrun tbh

[@matrixphijr]

Appreciate you showcasing others' feats like this, Joltz, now that you're kinda the elder statesman Borderlands KZbinr.

[@Crabmaster4774]

I just imagine the Hyperion soldiers in Hero's Pass seeing the dwarf flying through the air at mach 7 towards Jack and ralizing how screwed Jack is.

[@TheManWithSomeTypeOfPlan]

Mach 7 😂

[@KirkDirk]

realizing*

[@Dubaroo99]

It's funny to me that within an hour of jack trying to kill the vault hunter he completely ruined Jack's years long plan and coordinations

[@ItsMrBozToYou]

Angel just left out the dual rocket launchers when she was getting intel.

[@ItzRetz]

I wonder how long the whole story was meant to be, you never actually see it turn night so maybe Jack was defeated in one day, just one realllllly long day.

[@henrikt.183]

@@ItzRetz When you travel to ellie the first time there is a voice line about how you dropped off from comms for a few hours on the way. So presumably the different areas of the game like the tundra and the desert areas are pretty far apart and you need a lot of time canonically to travel between them. in the beginning of the game there is also a boat ride that presumably covers hours or days of travel since you wouldnt need to get a boat if the distance were walkable.

It feels like he's just doing whatever to reach 600k and post the bl3 speedrun

[@hushex5150]

@@teko613 joltz had said the constant loop of stream highlights was burning himself out. It’s not that he wants 600K, it’s that he’s done with streaming constantly for content

Holy crap, thats not even barely sub-1hr. He absolutely smashed it!

[@Frostburnphoenix]

right?!

[@Drianikaben]

That's what I said. Joltz got to the time and he said "sub 1hr" and I'm just like "that's not just sub 1hr" lol

[@jingsterling]

A bit misleading title tho. This is segmented, but he also recently got a official sub 1h as well.

@@jingsterling do you really think he's gonna show a full 55 minute speedrun and narrate over it?

why does he land before rocket jumping again sometimes? for a more precise jump or?

[@bereisgreat]

Deceptix is insane at rocket jumping and his precision and speed to activate mission items is pretty crazy. really impressive run

[@freki3545]

"With the scroll wheel you can activate mission objectives on the *very first frame they appear* " no sir HE can i cant and nobody i personally know could do that

[@HeIIyessbuddy]

@@freki3545 Speedrunners often (almost always in bl2) use unlocked mouse wheels. That way they get roughly 1 input every frame and just let it fly. You just flick the wheel and it spins for about a second. Not that much skill is necessary

[@jamoin8062]

@@HeIIyessbuddy u need to remember every single activateable thing and put ur mouse there in under a second on flying by, yes it does take skill

@@freki3545 Bro its a segmented run anyone can do this given enough attempts but probably not as good as this guy

I feel like there should be a special scene where if you speedrun to the Warrior fast enough, the vault key isn’t actually charged and you just shoot Jack then the credits roll

[@thetrueandfinaldeath9073]

And it just gives you op 10 lvl 80

[@avocadoarms]

I think the glitch with the Pimpernel, Sawbar, and Flakker may be that due to them having unlisted projectiles that do splash damage, the projectiles absorb the damage of the mainhand weapon if that mainhand weapon also does splash damage (hence: the use with rocket launchers)

[@stevenclark2188]
