Additional things i could think about for this challenge was you could of used a stockpile relic for 26 nades. Or taken the easy way out and increased damage with a bone. Something id like to see you try is the op1-10 run that joltz did. He proved you could beat the runs with only grenades but you can always spice it up
A fun challenge could be to beat BL2 as a Wizard, and you can only use the spell grenades, like the Magic Missile (x2/x4), Fireball, Firestorm, Lightning, Chain Lightning.
At first, I was expecting Krieg with the more grenade drops, bonus to explosive damage, overkill healing, etc. so you never run out. In fairness though, the slag and second winds are nice.
I'm a masochist as well, as a person who has all characters maxed out with the 100% walkthroughs. And i can't do stuff like that, so he is definitely a god. Or a unstoppable psychopath.
theres alot of "can you beat" content out there these days but i really think you're one of the best. i actually get really stoked whenever i see a borderlands challenge from you.
I like to call this build the "yeetus deletus" and it's my fav way to play axton. Although I usually pair it with a jakobs AR for those pesky explosion resist enemies so i don't torture myself like you did
Yeah or even that big boom blaster thing I threw in the grinder, OR, as I recently learned, you could just sit behind the constructor for a LONG time and have it nuke it self do death because those deal self damage. 🙃
I know it's been 2 years, but if anyone else ever has the same problem with Roland being stuck INSIDE the warden, you can finish the quest by jumping on top of the warden, the game let's you talk to Roland from there
@@sarahh08it is a good class, ur just not using him right. Overall gaige Is the worst since you can only run 1 build on her. Granted that build is strong but it takes time and you will do no damage if you lose ur stacks.
Ill never forget my first playthrough, enjoying lilith's side quest when a random mf dropped a 1.3K damage grenade It was the first time i unironically said "bruh"
I have an idea for a vid, Can You Beat Borderlands 2 With only White Rarity weapons? Rules: 1:Only White Rarity guns and grenades, shields relics and class mods can be any rarity 2: that's about it..... I hope you see this and do it, I love your channel and would love to see more borderlands content!
I've yet to watch but the 90% grenade damage resistance that the required SBA Constructor has, Handsome Jack has, and that Saturn has sounds super fun (Warden might have it too iirc). I've done Community Patch Gunless Axton before and those fights very easily can get on your nerves, it'll be interesting to see how you deal with the bloodshot stronghold given how that was my stopping point when I hit UVHM, too much required mobbing and not enough nades (even with Tiny Tina grenade ammo regen). Edits made during the vid: Also worth noting that the Vault Hunter relic only applies to blue gear and lower because of Gearbox quality spaghetti, iirc it's only real legitimate use is for a little bit of increase for the drop chances of the Cobra farm. Hell yeah portable Onslaught glitch Small QoL python mods would alleviate a lot of the picking up guns and having them go into your main hand and switching nades. I've found and used a mod that allows you to switch between favorited nades without opening inventory and a Allegiance/Restriction mod that allows you to disable weapons from entering your hands if they dont meet certain requirements. Allows you to filter based off of manufacturer, level, rarity, weapon type, etc. Pretty useful for a Tediore allegiance run I did on Axton. There's also a mod that allows you to purchase ammo from vendors without directly opening the vendor which is pretty nice, also a Python mod like the aforementioned two. Yeah UVHM DoTs are sad. Wilhelm has no nade damage resist so he gets murdered to death by nades and Tediore throws Yep, SBA V3.0 Constructor is CBT It's worth noting that the Kiss Of Death can crit, so I'm pretty sure it can be used for Face Mcshooty kill if it was just a general nade-only/gunless Axton run Yeah shock damage fastball was doing the most damage because Warrior takes reduced damage from fire and explosions. Overall really fun challenge run, cant wait to see what you put out next!!
Addendum: the Vault Hunter's relic actually just causes 5% of white gear to be rerolled into something that isn't white; the relative rarities of everything else stays the same. It's basically just a tiny step up from not having a relic at all. Edit: I misspoke. It actually reduces the chance of a piece of gear being white from 89.92% to 89.5% - so it reduces the chance of your gear being white by slightly over 0.4%, and most of those rerolls will be green items because the chance of green goes up from 8.99% to 9.4%.
Here’s a challenge idea; Can you beat Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel as Mad Moxxi? I have a hunch a Moxxi weapons-only run in TPS would be a lot more unique than in BL2 since TPS has the Slammer shield and the Vibra-Pulse Laser Gun, and interestingly enough, many of BL2’s base game Moxxi guns are in TPS but can only be obtained via Gibbed.
I’ve watched joltzdude enough to know that the fastball can hard-carry any run it’s used in (explains why it’s in almost all his runs), but it was interesting to see just how far the fastball can really go
probably both one of the easiest and hardest challenges you've done so far, but it was really entertaining and i was really excited to see a new vid in my recommended
Already commented but I respect your decision to technically call the run when you had to cheese with the turrets. Without it, you can do any run with anything as long as you go Axel.
I got recommended this video yesterday, and watched every single video you made in one day, they were all amazing and it was great watching the progression of finding strats to make your suffering easier
As soon as you started this run I knew the constructors would be impossible. I loved running around with fastballs but had to use a gun for constructors. I am impressed you killed Saturn though.
I am really enjoying your content. I feel like the videos are formatted really well and your commentary doesn't get boring even during boring sections. The face cam is really nice to have, especially seeing your confusion fighting Wilhelm
The fastball is probably my favorite grenade in the borderlands series. I dunno, it’s simple! Just be accurate and throw those speedballs to bad guys. Great video, cheers.
Pretty neat to know that you can beat borderlands 2 can with only fastballs (discounting the glitchy stupid turrets ofc) now that you know that the super badass constructor can just fallout itself
I wonder if "Never allowed to reload" would be a fun challenge run? You have to keep picking up new weapons, because once you empty a gun's magazine, you have to toss it. Maybe grenades could be used 10x each? Since they are much less common than guns. It might not be possible if you go into boss fights without a full inventory of guns. Purchasing guns would be allowed, because it might be impossible if it wasn't.
This is one of my favorites of your challenges so far. Would be interesting to see a Gunarang only run, I feel that could get really frustrating in the later stages of the game.
Just found your channel bro, and liking this video on second 1 because I LOVE the Fastball so much. I farm for a good roll, and pretty much keep that mod for the rest of the game, nothing beats it IMO.
awesome video.the fastball is one of my fav grenades. just started playing borderlands 3 after putting it off for years. was excited to get it in that game too.
ADDENDUM: the run is possible after all! There's a strat with the SuperBad toaster before BNK-3R where you stand just behind it and let its own nukes damage it.
This man's dedication is insane buut Suggestion for next one ; Beating Bl2 with Hot mama only For reasons avoid voice over and let us hear the in-game sounds a lot more than normal

I love how those 2 little wall turrets are a pain in so many challenges done by players. I saw them stop like 4 different challenges so far.
Dubbed "The Baby Turrets"
I like to call them the Little Shits from Hell 🌚
At first, I was expecting Krieg with the more grenade drops, bonus to explosive damage, overkill healing, etc. so you never run out.
In fairness though, the slag and second winds are nice.
bloodsplosion would have been easy mode
Yeah, Krieg is the way to go
In fairness I did this with krieg and that green tree cap skill is busted still was a bit of a challenge not being able to get a second wind
This man is just insane. He is either a complete psychopath or a god himself.
Nah he is only a masochistic
I'm a masochist as well, as a person who has all characters maxed out with the 100% walkthroughs. And i can't do stuff like that, so he is definitely a god. Or a unstoppable psychopath.
Loves to torture himself for our entertainment. That's a real one
God himself is a complete pshychopath so why not both?
Probably both...or...God of psychopaths....
7:04 constructers, jack, and Saturn resist 95% of grenade damage.
9:46 was that the halo announcer?
Yes that was! Twitch viewers helped me get a sub goal and I got a cameo from Jeff Steitzer! He created some other fun sound alerts too, like RIP Bozo!
16:32 Ah, come on at least Jack has to sell it under the used category now that you have completely annihilated the packaging.
This entire challenge is the epitomie of "Think fast chucklenuts!"
The 360 fastball on jack into shotgun chug combo really wraps up the challenge
That ultimate constructor before the bunker is one of if not the most annoying enemy in this game so I thing everyone can give you a pass for it.
I actually don't mind the ultimate constructor during a casual playthrough
I am an Axton main who only uses big boom blaster as shield, and the part where you told it: "piss off" literally destroyed me ×.× great video
theres alot of "can you beat" content out there these days but i really think you're one of the best. i actually get really stoked whenever i see a borderlands challenge from you.
🥹
10:51 that was the most clean musical transition I’ve heard in a while
loved how this challenge went from "easy" to "literally impossible" so fast lol love ur vids man
Joke Translation:
"Axton becomes the world's deadliest baseball player."
I like to call this build the "yeetus deletus" and it's my fav way to play axton. Although I usually pair it with a jakobs AR for those pesky explosion resist enemies so i don't torture myself like you did
"dot damage done by the player doesn't exist" HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED MAYA?????
Cloud kill moment
That baseball joke 20 seconds in is actually freaking genius good job
Buggy turrets aside, challenge could be more feasible if you added a relic to boost nade damage and the spell grenades for the regen.
Yeah or even that big boom blaster thing I threw in the grinder, OR, as I recently learned, you could just sit behind the constructor for a LONG time and have it nuke it self do death because those deal self damage. 🙃
Not gonna lie, I would've probably ragequit on the baby turrets- by far the most annoying thing about Borderlands when doing item specific runs.
19:23 My demons have found me, I must now leave, this is chaos oh god.
I know it's been 2 years, but if anyone else ever has the same problem with Roland being stuck INSIDE the warden, you can finish the quest by jumping on top of the warden, the game let's you talk to Roland from there
wait you're telling me it's not normal to run fastball axton?!?
Honestly loving seeing someone else do this, axton needs more love
axton will get more love when he becomes a good class!!

Nice trickshots with the fastball
Awesome of you to admit that not all of it is doable, admitting the part where the challenge fails. Heres to more videos from the homie Gasmask!

Law and Order Zer0 with Sheriff's Badge. you have to use the sound clip when you die, kill a Badass, or kill a Boss... also when Roland dies.
I love to see the wacky runs m8. Borderlands 2 is one of my favorite games.

I have a Video idea try beating borderlands 2 without a mouse btw you can look around with the arrow keys
I am really enjoying your content. I feel like the videos are formatted really well and your commentary doesn't get boring even during boring sections. The face cam is really nice to have, especially seeing your confusion fighting Wilhelm
I'm glad to hear that even professional players get frustrated with the drain room in Bloodshot Stronghold.
My guy rlly put the stinky on Wilhelm
The fastball is probably my favorite grenade in the borderlands series. I dunno, it’s simple! Just be accurate and throw those speedballs to bad guys. Great video, cheers.
The fact in frost burn he was Ballin makes this video a 21/21 fastballs.
Pretty neat to know that you can beat borderlands 2 can with only fastballs (discounting the glitchy stupid turrets ofc) now that you know that the super badass constructor can just fallout itself
The stationary Jack T pose was perfect 😂😂
I thought the super constructor could kill itself for nukes. So really it’s just the baby turrets that ended the run
I bet those turrets would die to 1 fastball if they weren’t glitched 😭
Man really released the beast on this one
“drum sound effect”
Another excellent video! Thank you so much for all the hard work, I sincerely love your content!
I wonder if "Never allowed to reload" would be a fun challenge run?
You have to keep picking up new weapons, because once you empty a gun's magazine, you have to toss it.

It might not be possible if you go into boss fights without a full inventory of guns.
Purchasing guns would be allowed, because it might be impossible if it wasn't.
Mitten squad did a challenge pretty similar to this! He had to use what ever gun drops and constantly keep switching if something new popped up.
Honestly, I think for future grenade only challenges you should allow the magic missile to regen grenades. Just for that though, loved this run!
The basketball edit in frostburn canyon had me rollin
Oh my God, you come out and became the best baseball pitcher in all of Pandora maybe even all of the known galaxy.
fav borderlands 2 channel
You are the first person I've seen drink the Espresso Monster
At 14:34 that's the worst possible roid shield for roid damage. triple bandit (the top, left, and bottom parts) I believe it's -24 or -18 to special.
Bro I’m telling you these edits be funny as hell, the “first attempt” at jumping the gap had me weak
I appreciate you finishing the run despite the issue with the bugged turrets
Fastball on axton is fun af. That smack when it hits someone
😩 it’s so good
Krieg mains with max bloodlust and bloodsplosion
WHAT I CAN HEAR YOU OVER THE SOINDS OF REACHING MAX VISUAL DAMAGE CAP
It'd be neat to see a slagga playthrough. Slagga as only gun, no grenades. All skills.
Sick ass video as always 👍 Glad to be part of the community now :)
Every time I watch one of these playthroughs it makes me want to start playing bls2 again. Got it downloading right now haha
That floating crate in beacon tresher fight is classic. Also finally a challenge where Axton shines :)
I like these versions of these challenges because barley anyone else does these on op 10
I think using your abilities is perfectly fine for challenges for the most part.
These challenge runs just put a smile on my face . Cant wait to see what you come up with next
Damn. You beat me to it
Love your stuff homie!
@@LilGasmask Thank you! I love your stuff as well!
Really good job on this man, a stockpile relic mightve saved some grief but it was a fun watch
I had the same reaction as him when I first saw a shock pup skag, I nearly soiled myself when five of them chased me like a train
This is one of my favorites of your challenges so far. Would be interesting to see a Gunarang only run, I feel that could get really frustrating in the later stages of the game.
Idk how you don't have more subscribers. Like I know bl2 is old but the dry humor and commentary is awesome! I love it!
youre my favorite channel right now I love that the bl2 community is still doing and into challenges and runs like this
Just found your channel bro, and liking this video on second 1 because I LOVE the Fastball so much. I farm for a good roll, and pretty much keep that mod for the rest of the game, nothing beats it IMO.
that chaotic neutral line got me good
Nice job man. I came in to see how horrible it was killing splash resistant badass contructors.

Nice. Just throwing rocks at people for a full playthrough.
Me and a friend did this for the christmas dlc a long while ago because we thought it would be funny. It was very funny.
The halo announcer proudly saying "get nae nae'd" was a suprise, but a welcome one
Haven’t watched the video yet, but I’m calling the Baby Turrets will end this run
Oh the misery ;_;
Yep
shock fastball carried me through almost the whole game despite it being like lvl 14
What about an only spells "challenge"
as in, only lightning bolt, magic missile, fireball ETC?
they regenerate so it shouldn't be so bad
18:43 "The Lava's Rising!!!"
The way he violated that Big Boom Blaster
cool challenge, looking forward to melee only krieg or a challenge with maya
you are doing good out there, keep it up
I think starting with max money in runs wouldn’t be unfair since he’s just farming a single box for it anyway
Please keep doing these. You are my favorite UA-camr and I love this series
Awesome run.
commentary & sound effects were very impressive.
This man's dedication is insane buut
Suggestion for next one ; Beating Bl2 with Hot mama only
For reasons avoid voice over and let us hear the in-game sounds a lot more than normal
“Like whatchu see?” XD
I agree as you know, i am something of a scientist myself
I've actually tried my own Challenges, like using only White Gear etc. But I'm sooo bad! Lol. Love your Videos mate.
And he’s done it again, what a guy! Great vid dude!
A very entertaining run down memory lane, thank you.
So this is the challenge that was retroactively accomplished.
It took me 4:02 to realize you had a gask mask
ur wild for all of these runs, u def deserve more attention
Always love your content, and you do the most ridiculous stuff! It is all so appreciated!
