Can You Beat Borderlands 2 With The Power of Friendship?

Is it possible to beat Borderlands 2 as with ONLY the power of friendship? What if we tried it on OP10? What if team damage was on? Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Borderlands the Pre-sequel, and Borderlands 3 all have guns that can get pretty wacky, but wacky doesn't always mean good. In this challenge run, we try to beat the game with s weapon that vomit rainbows everywhere, the unicornsplosion! Want to see me try this challenge with a different gun? Comment below on what gun, grenade, or even shield I should try next! Any gun in any game (Borderlands 1, Borderlands 2, Borderlands the Pre-Sequel, Borderlands 3, and hopefully Wonderlands!)

With Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands coming out soon I thought it would be fun to do a themed challenge to build up a little hype for the game. I ran the idea by you guys and a majority of you wanted to see it! So here we are with today’s challenge! Can You Beat Borderlands 2 With ONLY The Power of Friendship? In this Challenge we will be utilizing the Mysterious Amulet from the Tina DLC and The Unicornsplosion Shotgun from the Lilith DLC before I show the rest of the build, I’ma throw the rules at you real quick, First off we will be playing on OP10 as always, second, we will be playing as Krieg and Require a few specific skills to add to the challenge, more on that in a second. No BAR and most importantly, you gatta bring the homies! We were all reppin the Legendary Reaper Class mod for that sweet, sweet bloodbath boost and to make kill skills last almost 5 times as long. We also have a basic shield and slag grenade just to balance things out. As for those required skills, I was talking about Fuel the rampage is required so that team damage is something we have to` consider, and Redeem the soul because real homies would risk it all for each other. The rest of the build is centered around mostly bloodbath and explosive damage with very little melee boosts. I tried to balance it out, so melee was somewhat “viable” but not our main source of damage, and we all have one unspent skill point for a little trick you guys will see later in the run. Okay now that all the intro info is handled, Lets introduce the squad.
Right off the bat I taught everyone about the build we were working with, basic stuff like how to heal, don’t shoot your homies, try to proc bloodbath when you can etc. You guys might also notice that we are leaving glitter trails everywhere we go, that is thanks to the Mysterious Amulet. The more people wearing one the more intense the sparkles get. Often throughout the playthrough we end up crop dusting each other with these sparkles, our guns even make fart noises to really add to the immersion. We charged into our first battle not knowing how it would go, we were all learning how to handle this challenge, some of us learned the hard way. I tried to go in for some melee attacks during buzzaxe rampage and got totally decimated by friendly fire damage. We quickly learned to call out melee targets so that we could coordinate better. Like I said before melee isn’t the main damage source for this run and it is barely viable. But I would be lying if I didn’t say it has its uses. For example, The benefit to getting a kill in buzzaxe rampage is that you get a ton of bloodlust stacks per kill which is useful because getting stacks is hard with our current build. These stacks are what make bloodbath s

Let's play wonderlands

Yoo

[@potatofoxx4540]

don't have wonderlands yet but my tag is psychofox45 for bl2 and 3

[@karlschanz6538]

I’m down

[@mischieflee773]

"so we can at least kill the 20 bandits for him" turns in quest with 2/20 killed made me shed a tear

[@OhCrapI_He]

It's a running gag at this point

[@BlasterTheDragon]

This man literally went through so much pain and hatred from these Borderlands challenges for our entertainment, yet he doesn't get the attention he deserves. This is an OUTRAGE 👿

[@LilGasmask666]

Extra ❤️ for you

[@ichangedaccounts7980]

Blaster The Dragon I agree

[@Thatonegamer182]

Yes

[@Bittamin]

@@LilGasmask666 I randomly got back into borderlands a week ago and I gotta say dude you’re one of my favorite BL content creators now! Excited and hopeful for more of these videos, I’m almost finished with everything you have up 😅

[@Steven-co5sd]

Agreed - I am literally shook that not only he completes them all, but he also sets them for himself!

[@bast4rdlyreaper]

I really feel like the Love Thumper should have been the shield used, it's torgue, does team damage, and has Love in the name, love and friendship is the same. 9:46 "Howdy Boys!"

[@LilGasmask666]

That’s going to get its own run probably

[@edenengland1883]

or the Deadly Bloom instead of Love Thumper, because if one player goes down it would chain react and down the entire team everyone dies together

[@brettrossi034]

​@@edenengland1883they live together, and ultimately they die together 😅 I'd say it works

[@rileymiller3154]

Me as krieg (always gets the light the fuse skill because it adds more mayhem and chaos also I just hate slowly crawling around in the fight for your life mode)

How i beat Borderlands 2 with the Power of Friendship Chapter 1: The Power of Friendship First step in my journey is realizing that its impossible beat Borderlands 2 with the Power of Friendship. Chapter 2: The power of Incredible Violence

[@Foreststrike]

The infinite vertical melee range isn't a glitch, it's a complete feature for Krieg's to rampage upon unsuspecting Buzzards, mini turrets, jet loaders, and surveyors for their ability to be in impossible places. Their ability to be in impossible places enrages Krieg's to no end. So when they are exploited for their weakness, Krieg's rejoice everywhere.

[@evanlukas1]

All characters had infinite upwards melee in one two and pre sequel it’s jus jank coding but I miss it in 3

[@ismaashawsome4685]

@@evanlukas1 Not Pre sequel. That got patched out early in the game iirc. Playing Melee Athena rn, no vertical melee.

[@KeithElliott-zd8cx]

@@ismaashawsome4685 tbh with her captain america shield tossing and hulk leaping, plus less 'stay too far away to melee' fliers (A few shigguraths that spawn too high to jump, then ads and some aerial bosses in the dlc is about the only ones i can think of besides rk5 when it's bombing the platform)

"And this treasure I found."

[@zeubiess5700]

I'm proud yall used the EXTREMELY OPTIMAL unicornsplosion over the WEAK swordsplosion, minmaxing like true speedrunners :)

[@xs_nerd3482]

I love how every mini boss turned into raid bosses

[@dannyfoo1997]

That revive running strat was freaking genius.

[@lagomorph32]

7:44 I see you turning in the quest with only having killed 2/20 bandits for Reese. May his angry spirit haunt your every playthrough!

[@LilGasmask666]

What no that’s a glitch, and uhhhhh I also used the wrong footage, he also didn’t die in that Playthrough, and I almost forgot that I actually killed 21 bandits, mhmm yep

[@ennui337]

Honestly this and all the other challenge runs you've made, you are underrated AF dude.

[@greatspacegoat147]

I know right? I love this guy!

I fear no man, but that thing 138 Ultra Mega Badass stumpy it scares me.

[@Articstics]

Ah yes, the power of friendship And this gun I found

[@prankenstin8107]

I love these co-op challenge runs and I would love to see more of them from you

[@LilGasmask666]

There will be more don’t worry!

The lavas rising, get to high ground.

[@frogtank4407]

I barely managed to get to op10 on a single character. I would have died if someone said "now do another 48"

[@techstorezombie9316]

3:10 The sheer joy on this man's face as he guns down his homies, smh.

[@ville148]

I know this is an old video but I didn't see that coming at 22:47. That totem poling was amazing 😂😂. Made my day!

[@DedicatedSlaya]

🤔... I'd like to see a 'Saturn's Revenge' version of Borderlands now!!! Saturn would be all rusted up... it could happen! 🤣👍

[@SlowerIsFaster139]

This was very wholesome considering the amount of suffering these people went through to make the video haha.

[@broken.137]

This video was so good ( besides the part that my eyes hurt ) PLEASE do more co-op challenges runs :)

[@LilGasmask666]

XD I’m so sorry, my eyes were messed up too

[@derpyplayer4374]

oh damn the new My little Pony is looking kinda good

[@LilGasmask666]

That got a good laugh out of me XD

[@windyberry8752]

I Been looking for a mlp reference

[@FirestormDDash]

I mean. Equine magic is pretty freakin magical. And friendshipy.

[@razorclad509]

These runs consistently challenge the engine to compute never before seen scenarios. The big brain plays are probably what leads to all the glitches. But that's also what makes this peak content. Keep it up!

[@pkmn7777777]

If you do a TPS run, maybe a general buff/support group would be fun. Athena’s shield tree for defense Wilhelm’s Saint tree for healing in combat Claptrap’s high five tree for team-buffs and the high five capstone Aurelia’s master tree to buff herself and her servant (claptrap, naturally) Jack COULD be a half decent choice but his are more for buffing his digijacks or having allies go down and Nisha is fully selfish with no team synergy

[@Amirifiz]

Nisha's support is to kill the enemies faster than they can kill her allies.

[@edenengland1883]

Nisha's motto is that killing enemies is the best support

[@Karxrida]

True DPS mindset lol.

[@pocketinfinity6733]

16:02 the disgust in his voice when he said "lilith"

[@insurgencybuffoonery8065]

I thought this was just gonna be a goofy play through with some buddies to give you a breather from all the masochism, but honestly this is more than acceptable.

[@insurgencybuffoonery8065]

I made this comment in like the first 20 seconds of the vid. Happy to see that it actually is fun time with friends!

[@Albert_EGGsker]

28:49 not even a couple of hours later: “hey guys Joltz here.”

[@dracaroni.n.cheese]

Joltz aint got nothin on you and your dedication to this god of a game

[@lizardjoe4224]

Shouldve done this in blps and have everyone be claptrap going down the friends tree

[@WeaveQuint]

Itd be so cool if the amulets friendship stat actually increased your chance of not being attacked by enemies

My favourite part of this video is the thumbnail

Okay this channel is amazing I'm so glad the recommended tab can sometimes work

[@bumblethebeadle3504]

I have still yet to kill a raid boss in UVHM and I rage quit. It is at that moment of quitting that I think of your challenge runs and all of the frustration that you (and your friends) go through. I then jump back in to fight the good fights. And lose. Thank you for all that you do.

[@tofufee8432]

i have no clue for how long i have been watching you. but seeing this much amount of pain in the challenges. i don't understand how you dont have ATLEAST 300k subs

Glitches are attracted to both speedrunners and challenge runners, especially game breaking ones.

Borderlands but can u win with the power of friendship? *Oh god the Memories are coming back…*

you should try to do a navy seal challenge - all axton with nukes (gunpowder tree maxed)

[@LilGasmask666]

Nukem run has been requested a lot, prolly ganna add it to the list!

[@insertnamehere4088]

You have returned! Also I think you most definitely can !

[@hamster-lm5mt]

A painful challenge would be to have the krieg perk where u can take friendly fire to the max and everyone uses the flak queen gun

[@DonV1ncent]

Best borderlands content right now!

you made me taste the flavor of monster assult by just showing me the can 😂
