Can You Beat Borderlands 2 With The WORST Legendary Assault Rifle?

[@Joltzdude139]

This was a roller coaster of emotions. What weapon + character should we do next?

[@wikipol8574]

Emperor Maya?

[@simongomez3297]

Emperor axtion?

[@Joltzdude139]

@@wikipol8574 Gross, but yea

[@Joltzdude139]

@@simongomez3297 I want the right weapons to be paired with the right characters. That would probably be better suited on a Maya run.

[@RealApollo69777]

How about Bone Shredder Maya? It's kind of like a really bad Sand Hawk. It's also a weapon nobody ever uses or talks about.

[@ItGirlCaliiopx]

This is lilgasmask levels of masochism 💀

[@Joltzdude139]

It wasn't that bad to be honest. If you build around a weapon at end game, you can make it work.

[@kitqna]

we love gasmask 😂😂

[@moonfartflam]

To some extent. All the stacking was using console commands, so the challenge was entirely madhaus! shenanigans

[@Renaldo_Graham]

Joltz has don't every normal challenge run so he has to resort to the masochist runs

[@povotaknight2063]

lilgasmask wouldn't have used a stacking shotgun, proper shields, or grenades because he hates fun, which is based

To anyone still wondering why Joltz never continued the Bandit Allegiance Gaige playthrough: You just got your answer.

[@Joltzdude139]

Accurate

[@ByteBitson]

​@@Joltzdude139 i think you just proved otherwise it's definitely quite inaccurate

[@khrashingphantom9632]

Well also Joltz doesn’t really know how to play as Gaige as is and Bandit Allegiance is ROUGH for pretty much any character outside of Sal. Lol

[@AaronReadingYo]

@@khrashingphantom9632 Are you saying that one if, if not arguably the most knowledgeable person on BL2, doesn't know how to play a character in BL2? That's certainly a statement.

[@fallencastle]

​@@AaronReadingYois he is saying gas isn't a gaige main. The easiest gaige method is speed stax hax from filthy eagle. Shield elemental damage and speed boost from fake kill skills.

[@ToxxicBurst476]

Salvador + Crit SMG only. Bonus Challenge; once you drop one, you cant pick it back up? 999 crits in inventory, and see how many you drop before ending the game

[@sammehtehdestroyah]

I call this the Lionel Run. Cuz they're not dead of thirst. Or bullet holes. Or anything. Nothing is dying.

[@ashfallens]

I love how far we've come as a community. From the "UVHM requires the same 3 guns" sentiment to so many people running op10 with the wackiest guns ever, amazing.

[@Clooger-]

It does. This is a horrible comparison considering you can use any gun with max anarchy and make it do damage.

[@TheMoronicBunch]

I wonder Volcano or Long bow only Zero. This was a fun videos joltz and thanks for the support from both discord and twitch man. Your the best!

[@Joltzdude139]

[@TKmeh]

Lilgasmask did the longbow only build with Zer0, high recommend that video but I don’t think I’ve seen someone do a volcano only run!

[@RubescentDragon]

I would also love to see Volcano. Or Corba, Cobra is always forgotten. Not sure if Zero would be the best with Cobra but it's a interesting thing to think about

[@windebiesteultima3317]

Cobra is forgotten because maybe like 20 people total have gotten it to drop legitimately.

[@rngsmiles3979]

Volcano is actually not that bad, it's just a slightly stronger fire snider. It's fire locked so it will really struggle with not being able to match elements though.

[@marshallharvey5321]

I like these runs, keep it up dude!

[@Joltzdude139]

Thanks!

[@LAZERAK47V2]

Gaige's "If I go down, I'm screwed." voice line has never been more applicable.

[@pinkstarmona1695]

Man this reminds me of why despite my fondness for Gaige I hate playing her as the game goes on. Anarchy can be fun to build up until you're no longer capable of hitting a flying enemy.

[@khrashingphantom9632]

Your build might not be very good OR you may not be managing Anarchy very well. Gaige is a VERY involved character to play as contrary to popular belief. Lol

[@RikouHogashi]

This feels like a Punishment for not completing Bandit Gaige

[@apple_cat]

nah this feels like the explanation for why he didnt

[@ZapiQ]

Legend has it that this run took 5 years to complete. Joltz was just nice enough to shorten it for us. Thank you Joltz

[@striker1078]

This is what I'm talking about. decent video length, too

[@Joltzdude139]

1 video challenge runs are the way to go now

[@igseee]

ive been subbed for nearly 6 years now and you still never disappoint with the videos joltz, keep it up!

[@reddeadunderwear5992]

This video was put together and paced so well. Great editing, Joltz

[@88Zero]

Props to you joltz for finding creative stuff to accomplish in the game. Love u dude hope your world is bright and happy!!!

[@yeta.]

I still don't understand what they were thinking when they made this gun, okay give it a really dumb effect when you fire, sure, but they could have atleast given it some actual damage

[@windebiesteultima3317]

Doesn’t help that all ARs have an innate -15% crit damage multiplier for whatever reason, not doing the madhous any favors.

[@cortos_9733]

Helll yeah this was a great challenge run Joltzdude. Gaige was my first character in any Borderlands.

[@sharebear421]

I love these runs! Crazy how borderlands 2 has stood the test of time. Will forever be the best in the series most likely

[@rumley3176]

This person oddly sounds like Joltzdude139… Love the video! Been watching you for a while and you’ve helped me learn a lot about the series!

[@greysonstewart1959]

16:49 Was that a matching grip Topnea in the back?

[@schnubiq._.1542]

How is it matching when it’s literally Maliwan grip

[@greysonstewart1959]

@@schnubiq._.1542 There is a zero percent chance that that is a Maliwan grip

[@schnubiq._.1542]

I even double checked and like 100% sure that’s Maliwan grip

[@holychaos8831]

Imma double that. 200% maliwan grip.

[@stunccy]

Imma double that one, it’s 400% a maliwan grip

[@davidgohmann]

I really appreciate the editing quality on these videos. It looks really good man! 😊❤

[@Kestila]

love the editing on this video, Joltz!

[@diam0ndh34rt]

Can you beat Borderlands 2 with only the bearcat ?

[@Joltzdude139]

Krieg where you at?

[@antirockin5553]

2's bearcat is fine 3's is actually horrible

[@B_Skizzle]

⁠@@antirockin5553Nah, if anything it's slightly better in 3. Only on Moze though.

[@dxtrum]

​@@B_Skizzledepends on the roll really a perfect bl2 bearcat is more obtainable than a perfect bl3 one

[@gsjacobs]

The Bearcat is okay on Moze. If you want a really bad BL3 assault rifle, you gotta pick up the Tri-Bolt.

[@JoeSwanson9]

I would love to see some content that makes Joltz genuinely scream in anger, im sorry Joltz but it’s true. I’ve watched you since before I was a teenager, and I’m 19 now. You’ve always been this chill guy, (no meme intended) and also a man of respect and patience when it came to this game. However, I can’t lie, I would love to see a run make you absolutely rage and flip the heck out, I think that content would be so freaking funny

[@elliotallison2570]

You say it’s not as bad as people think but this is the damage with 400 anarchy stacks and with the benefit of close enough…it’s pretty trash. As for next I think Axton plus boom puppy or cobra would be really cool!

[@Deeplycloseted435]

I love when Joltz does the “PLEASE” 😂

[@CowKirbo]

I swear I was screaming "AIM AT THE FLOOR" the entire episode

[@JoeSwanson9]

I love the new content coming in, Lil Gasmask runs are amazing content, I love watching them. And if people keep calling this style of content a “Lil Gasmask run”, please don’t take it as in your content isn’t original, I’m sure everyone uses it because he’s the first to torture himself like this, and has rightfully earned the spot for the name of these types of runs

[@EdwardRichtofen_115]

Fun idea for a series, maybe do a playthrough where the only guns you can use is legendaries found from trash bins/ground piles, so basically shiny only playthrough in a sense. Would mean no using different variants either, but can loot other guns and sell for ammo if need be. Maybe could do it with all characters, and maybe switch it up to first legendary gun from loot midget farming?

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

Glutton for punishment. I'm afraid of your next series before BL4 lol

[@Joltzdude139]

I hope BL4 challenge runs are good.

[@daniele.h7697]

I feel like the answer is obviously yes if people are able to beat the game with the level one basic repeater that you get at the beginning of the game.

[@staffmasterlight1739]

You mispelled best assault rifle wobbly bullets are the only kind of bullets you want

[@kennedycalderone9608]

“Why? I don’t know, I didn’t make this game” really got me 😂😂😂

[@CelestialGThey]

The amusing part about this run, I do genuinely love the madous!. I don't even know why, I know the gun is terrible, but its just an amusing gun to me. I think it was also my first legendary drop when I played BL2 forever ago.

[@clintbeastwood5116]

"What run will you do next, Joltz?" "Hmm. How about pain?"

[@howtodothings2014]

Now we need a worst grenade run. Axton or Krieg (maybe Salvador with 2 low level repeaters and for double your fun) with a Morning Star

[@Crawmerax69]

Hats off to Joltz for toughing out another Gaige playthrough!

[@ANGST.ARGENTINA]

Never ever knew that Bloodwing's head bomb was a singularity 🤣

[@natesadz]

I always enjoy watching the different challenge run videos he does, and recently I started playing again so I was wondering if he has any plans of making more of the Ultimate Vault Hunter build videos like he has for Sal, Maya, and Kreig but for the other vault hunter.

[@strangerofthe2067]

You should make a wheel where you spin for various modifiers for a playthrough, like spin first for character, then spin for a weapon type- pistols, shotguns, snipers, etc, then spin for rarity- white, green, blue, etc, you could even add a spin for specific elements only too, so like you get Sal only green shotguns with fire element, or Gaige only purple snipers with no element. You could obviously take this a lot further, like a penalty wheel you have to spin every time you die with various penalties like you have to drop all your weapons or you have to spin for a different rarity of something or you have to do X or Y or whatever, and you could also make some type of reward wheel where something has to happen for you to get a reward spin, and you could add a second element type or weapon type or X or Y again, or even involve your chat by letting them pick rewards and penalties or X donation does Y wheel spin or whatever, I feel like you could have a lot of fun with random wheel spin stuff and involving your chat for audience participation and obviously to encourage donos lol.

[@qkez3526]

Love this style of content to break up the usual uploads.

[@killerkenzie8096]

Love all your videos joltz keep it up❤

[@clebosevic]

Uuuh, definitely looking forward to more of these types of runs :)

[@Jayden_101]

Love the Vids Joltz 👌

[@septemberstarlight9362]

YESSSS i've been waiting for this run since you mentioned it was going to be on gaige in the last one since the last one was so good!

[@fishwoz17]

Amazing. I could see the Bearcat being functionally impossible because you can’t hit certain bosses but I’d watch someone try

[@sammyule]

You should have a race of some of your twitch subscribers, with this exact loadout, to see who can beat the game the fastest.

[@kronusaerospace8872]

Gaige being optimal for a challenge run just makes me happy.

[@Russkove]

Back in the 360 days I loved to grab two madhouse and shoot with them with Salvador in Sanctuary for the funny particule effect, tis the only use I found for that gun lmao

[@shawnbissonnette8281]

This sounds like pure pain, but heck of entertainment😂.

[@Weebfox]

You are stronger than most this must have been PAIN

[@jingboy7]

Ah yes, the Anthrax gun. It's a madhouse, or so they claim! Also, I think it would be funny to see an infinity only run, I've never seen anyone else do it

[@gamerofthetime]

Honestly, I'd love to see you tackeling the Jacobs allegiance again, This time with maya, as her slagging skills could get you further than Zer0 could.

[@SeaFazzer]

The Borderlands community is awesome, everyone uses each other's ideas and no one cares. If anything the community helps each other grow. Want to grow your channel? Do a borderlands Challenge run and all the same viewers that watch joltz, killer 6, gasmask, puma, I just watched some new kid yesterday. Anyways we're all the same viewers watching these channels. Love the small community we got

[@tobis8829]

What I've heard/seen is that big beartha is actually weak to fire damage. At least I remember something like that was being mentioned in lilgasmasks 'can you beat bl2 with only the Chopper' viedo. So maybe you can try that out the next time... if you want to make another one of theses kinds of videos

[@Joltzdude139]

Interesting

[@lazykb]

I remember that. He found specifically shooting Booms head while on Bertha and maybe even off? Counted for solar damage

[@Halimat2.0]

if you crit it is fire weakness just like with armored psychos

[@justinyi5731]

4:59 I thought that only dropped in Frostburn

[@trashmand]

I am one of the few people who love the Madhouse, I find it to be pretty good with lead storm during early to mid game,

[@Jordon_Washington-Iler]

No, i cannot beat borderlands 2 with the worst legendary assault rifle. But Joltzdude can

Fun fact: Big Bertha is unslaggable! You can turn Boom on it purple but the slag bonus damage is not happening.

No orcs or grog this time? I kinda liked that you used the weapon in its most powerful state last time with the tunguska. It's a good alternative direction to what gas mask does.

Maybe a randomizer for allegiance and vault hunter challenge run. No fastball you get it .

Nice video, please advise how to go through op 7 and further behind the krieg, opponents just don't take damage, I want to knock out the rainbow cannon from haderax as well, since I just have no idea how to complete op 7, but killing the haderax is another problem, I'm trying to knock out the challenge of society from the wizard with 50+ attempts, none fell out.

OP10 runs without moxxi weapons are cool to see. Actual builds would be nicer to see than using exclusively bad weapons though, restricting to non-unique and showing off how to build characters without lifesteal + healthgate is always fun.

Maybe infinity pistol Salvador but, your not allowed to use any grenade apart from a low level slag grenade and no damage relics.
