Glitches and Fixes: NPCs getting stuck (Claptrap, Pvt Jessup etc), doors not opening, objectives not updating etc. Fix: Lower your frame rate to 30 fps. Let the NPCs do their thing, then switch it back. The game was originally made for consoles, that at the time, were capped at 30 fps. When the game was ported for PC, better graphics and physics capabilities weren't taken into account.
It's absurd how many quirky borderlands things change with framerate. Dialogue skips from spamming interact, claptrap Jessup, opening the gate into bloodshot stronghold, getting multiple guns from Michael Mamaril. @@Cpt_Overkill_81

For a better gaming experience holding E on ammo sucks up everything you can pick up in small radius. Holding E on a shield, gun, grenade or relic automatically equips it so you don’t have to go into the inventory every time you want to equip something.
Duuuuude No way you uploaded a second one! Was fearing you left the game at the beginning thinking it was just alright. Hope there will be more, maybe full playthrough? Also two quick tips If you ever get into the gunner seat of a car by accident, press C and you switch to the driver seat without getting out of the car first. Second, if you ever find a cool gun that you immediately want to equip, you can hold E while picking it up and it will replace the gun you currently hold.. This way you won't have to go into a menu first to change it. Your playthrough rocks!
Man also wish he could play bl1 fist but I understand why he played bl2 first probably for the best. Bl1 is one of my top games still since it is far more simple bl2 gets very meta guns only at higher levels or OP.
Honestly, getting to watch someone play and expirence one of my favorites games in my child hood for the first time in these two videos hasbeen awesome. I know it prolly dont mean too much but thank you man, youve earned yourself a new sub
Please make this a series! I love your personality and borderlands is a game I’ve been playing for more than a decade. I need to see your reaction to everything in this game. Please keep making borderlands videos, I’ll keep liking them.
for the cat, try leaving out a sock so it can get used to your smell while you're not there and also try looking away from it and let it get comfortable approaching you
This playthrough is pure gold. The pacing you gave with the editing is just perfect, you can actually follow along the quests and see what’s going on in the game, which is really nice imo. Also i’m gonna throw this because this might help (even though you may have already figured that out) : you can see side-quests as a way to help you level up your gear or match your xp level to the one of the main quest. Because the xp and gear merely gathered during the main quest aren’t always sufficient to continue pushing through it, picking some SQs here and there along your journey is a great idea.
HI HERE'S A STORY EXPLANATION WITH NO SPOILERS: Tldr there's these things in the universe called The Vaults. They're like the one piece, said to hold some kinda great power and/or riches. Commander Steele from the first game found and opened on of the vaults on pandora, leading to a substance called eridium and to appear spread throughout pandora, effecting the planet in multiple ways that you get to see throughout the story. There are these people called vault hunters (which you play as in all the games) who want to find and open it. Jack (The CEO of Hyperion, one of the gun manufacturers in the game) found ANOTHER vault on Pandora while his company mined the eridium. Lilith specifically mentions it messing with her powers because she's a Siren, which are basically alien women with magic powers (you can play as one in every game, the one you can play as in BL2 is named maya). Sirens have a connection to eridium, which is a whole other can of worms. The whole game, story wise, is basically running around Pandora helping the crimson raiders take down Jack and his rain of tyranny on pandora, which you get to see get increasingly wild throughout the game. SIDE NOTES: The game has some really interesting lore and an amazing storyline. I would hella recommend playing the commander lilth dlc and the expansions thingies bc they're very fun and silly. Also, the mecromancer is Gaige, one of the dlc characters.
I put so much faith in that no spoilers thank you for not breaking my trust 😭 preciate the lore too, this game makes me wanna go back and play the original
@3eeexton LMAO, I GOT YOU BRO 🙏 Heads up if you play the first game, it is A LOT more janky and laid back than the 2nd game. Chill and still hella funny at times but a major downgrade in almost every aspect. Story wise, it only just introduces a small few things within the world. It has good atmosphere, but there's a LOT of reading you gotta do to get the full story context for missions and such; plus character dialog is basically excitnct outside of story missions. If you're looking into playing more borderlands games after 2 I'd hella recommend the Pre-Sequel and Tales from the borderlands (stay away from new tales lol) (Also play tales before the Lilith dlc bc they're connected!)
Uhm you kinda lied. The eridium was not from the vault jack opened. Jack hadnt opened any vaults yet. The "vault" marcus was talking about was the one from the first game, which caused eridium to be created, and jack came to pandora afterwards for the eridium, and his eridium mining caused the vault to be found. Kinda important detail in the story.
just watched the first episode a couple hours ago and was upset to see there wasnt a 2nd one yet, entertaining to see someone experience my favorite game ever for the first time
It isn't just their loot that improves as they level up. Each time a raging Goliath kills an enemy it doubles the exp value the player would have gained if they had killed it, and adds that total to it's own exp value when you kill it. IE the Goliath kills something worth 100 xp. When you kill the Goliath you will get the xp it's worth plus an extra 200 xp. They don't have a cap on this bonus xp that I've seen. In theory you can lure one around a map and help it kill everything. Then betray it for massive xp gains.
First things first: Loving this blind playthrough! Ive played BL2 on and off for a decade now, and seeing you rediscover some of my favourite things is such a joy! Also the jerk reaction i get when you run past a chest or some secret i know of ;P A few tips if you want to push the game further than you already do; (spoiler-free) 1. Most sidequests give cool rewards, but are not needed for progression. The game expects you to do the occational sidequest, especially if you feel like the mainquest is getting though. 2. Every quest has a lvl, and the rewards follow the lvl. In early game weapons get better real fast so you're going to find yourself swapping your loadout often (even legendaries only last 5-10lvl normally) 3. Most 'Named' enemies (bosses and mini-bosses) can be farmed after quest completion by saving to main meny, re-entering the game, and visiting the area you fought them earlier. This is normally not needed but a nice way to explore the whacky loot and xp grind. 4. In one area in this video you fought enemies that were a few lvl higher than you. Thats a hint that you may be in an area you shouldnt just yet. Many deaths occur there and people end up just hitting a wall for a long time. 5. For this specific spot you ended the episode i'd recommend revisiting Doc mercy for his loot (1/10 drop chance on each kill) or taking Lilliths sidequest from Sanctuary and Killing that miniboss for his loot (1/10 here aswell)((this one you may laugh at more since youre american)) Happy playing, cant wait for your next ep
Pro tip: If you hold E on a weapon you pick up it will go straight to your hands, if you hold E on ammo/currency it will pick up all ammo/currency you can.
Haven't fully watched yet, but glad you made another video. I haven't seen anyone with genuine new reactions to the borderlands series in a while and it's nice to see someone starting fresh.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but the skill at the bottom of each skill tree is typically a major augment that changes or upgrades your skill in some way. You can only get enough levels for 1 or 2 in the base game, so it's worth looking at them, then picking which one(s) you want to work towards. Anyway, it's surprisingly fun to watch and listen to you play this. I've played borderlands 2 so much that I just can't do it anymore, so seeing it from fresh eyes is nice. Glad you're having fun!
8 years of playing this game and I'm still finding new things. Like I don't even remember hearing some of the echos in opportunity. The base game is crazy detailed with worldbuilding!
still at the start of the video so im not sure if you've discovered it yet or not. but different gun manufacturers have different "gimmicks" with their gun such as: TORGUE: explosive bullets / explosive damage Dahl: usually some sort of burst when scoped, single shot when firing at the hip type shit jackobs: gunslinger kind of weapons as you've already found out Maliwan: elemental weapons in which their bullets do lightning, slag, fire, or corrosion damage Bandit: have really high magazine capacities hyperion: gun gets more accurate as you keep shooting it Tediore: youve see theirs already
for the cat, is the best option to feed it a few souls of the innocent and maybe build a shrine shaped like a pyramid that floats that or dont stare right at its eyes and just let them get comfortable to your smell and presence
about Zer0's skills and the skilltrees in general, yes Ambush gives 4% PER LEVEL. most skills can be leveled x5, so Ambush should be thought of as a 20% boost. it's great for exiting deception
Hey im someone who has 9k + hours on borderlands and half are on bl2, I saw your first video and love seeing this community grow Some tips of you want some -(almost) all unique named baddies can drop a legendary weapon that has some cool special effect to it (most odds are a 1/10) and you can save quit to menu and press continue to try again -each manufacture has something special about there guns, Jacobs has bonus crit, torgue does explosive, maliwan is good with elemental dam, tediore explodes like a grenade when thrown, bandit has large mags, Hyperion gets better accuracy the longer you hold the trigger, vladof has high fire rate, and dahl has the burst/auto/semi when ads or non ads. -guns can roll with different parts on them which give them a prefix and a suffix (thats a bit advanced but just a good thing to know) -classmods help so much with skill tree builds they will allow some skills to be 9/5 instead of the cap being 5/5 which is huge -DLC is actually worth it in this game, some of the best dlc in a game ive played
And a bonus tip, EXPLORE!! it wont always reward you but sometimes it will and be worth it!! Dont worry about clearing quest areas before you get a quest as well as it is just bonus EXP
You will find this out but the different weapon manufacturers all have a unique to them effect kinda. Dahl -burst when scoped Jacobs -has a really fast fire rate Tediore -explodes while reloading Maliwan -high elemental chance Torgue -shoots explosive bullets Vladof -increases fire rate when continuously fired Bandit -larger mag sizes
Each gun manufacturer has a different gun effect. Jacobs: Pure damage and critical hit damge increase. Hyperion: Recoil stability is high and lowers the more you shot, instead of getting worse. Torgue: exposive bullets. Dahl: burst fire when zoomed, 1 shot when hip firing. Tediore: explodes when reloaded. Maliwan: Always does elemental damage. Vladof: full automatic. Bandit: high ammo magazine. I hope you see this and it's helpful.
The vault opening they talk about is the one you open in the first game, and this basically released the eridium and stuff, it was talked about in the intro. But don't worry they will explain everything when its relevant. Really enjoying your playthrough, excited for future uploads
Just fyi special enemies will drop special dedicated items in their loot pool, for example doc mercy has a low chance to drop a very good gun that will only drop from him (except from world drops) but it will take a lot of attempts to get it to drop (to farm an enemy you will need to save and exit, rejoin, kill the special enemy, repeat I am telling you this because you probably wouldn't have found out otherwise. Anyways love the series already and cant wait for more ❤
So a few points about character progression- Each skill tree focuses on a different aspect of gunplay or melee. As you put points into your choice of skill tree, it’ll advance to the next row unlocking access for those skills. The end of each skill tree(and in most cases one or two perks in the center) has a penultimate skill that can drastically change how your build plays. For example, one of axtons skills lets him place his turret pretty much anywhere instead of at his feet. One of zer0s skills lets him reset his decoy so that he can stay invisible for a long time(there’s actually an achievement for staying invisible for an entire minute). Once you get to max level you’ll have enough skill points to get two skills trees maxed out. You can always re-spec at a customization station if you aren’t enjoying your current build. Different characters can specialize in specific things, zer0 and Krieg are the only two characters with dedicated melee skill trees for example. Axton can make great use of grenades, rockets and all manor of explosive weapons. Maya can choose a heavy elemental damage build. Salvador just does Salvador things…(it’s a good time). Zer0’s three skill trees focus on sniping and critical damage, decepti0n(your hologram) and buffs for both melee and ranged, and melee respectively. Melee builds are probably the toughest to pull off as they are MUCH more gear dependent than other builds and that gear isn’t as common and is just a harder play style in a game focused on shooting. For example, the best items for a zer0 melee build come from the pirate DLC. There aren’t melee weapons per se but there are guns with a melee modifier, usually indicated by a bayonet of some kind. I’m really enjoying watching someone experience this masterpiece for the first time. I hope you keep playing brother as the game only gets better from here. If you have any questions feel free to ask I’m sure there are lots of people in the comments that can answer anything you might ask.
I’ll say it for the people in the back, if you don’t f with Deeexton. Consider yourself an op. Love your vids man. I’m playing BL2 for my first time too and I’m glad to learn things about the game with you. I hope you keep making content, you are a great UA-camr❤ Also that 43:40-43:42 was hilarious. The way you said damn as it brought up her name was funny af.
Hooray! This next video has brightened my day, already waiting on the next one. Keep an eye out for plenty of pop culture references in quests and weapon text,for example the volleyball quest was a top gun reference. Love the fact youre having so much fun.
I loved these videos, vicariously re-experiencing BL2 through you. This is one of my top games and I’m sure everyone has already said it before but , DLC and side quests are still some good content. You’re such a chill dude your sense of humor is on point
man im so glad i found your channel, you seem like the chillest dude ever. hope you continue the series bc this is one of my fav games ever and seeing someone experience it for the first time is straight up magical
It's super fun and refreshing to see someone playing one of your most favorite games ever for the first time. Best advice I can give is to keep doing what you're doing. Taking the side quests you feel like doing and exploring areas whenever you go "Ooh, that looks interesting." is the best way to go about playing this game. Trying to do every little thing you possibly can will burn you out cause this game is *huge*, so just do a few side stuff then get back to the main story.
Entertaining commentary, a cute cat story, and an In for the kill reference all packaged in a video on one of my favorite games. Take this sub. Great content bro!
I saw the first part but once I saw a second I knew I had to subscribe. I truly hope to see this become a series for you. I've played more than 2000 hrs over 3 different consoles. I've even had to restart from scratch. I hope you enjoy this game as much as the rest of us.
love seeing someone experience this game for the first time, looking forward to following this series and this channel in the future also, not sure if this has been mentioned but when you are looking at the skill trees, look to the bottom to see the more unique skills to see what you want to work toward you can always respec your whole skill tree at the stations where you edit how your character looks, there is one in sanctuary near the bounty board and fast travel station
Fun fact about those Tediore guns, when you reload-throw them, they do more damage the more bullets are left in it when you reload! It’s so awesome to see someone having this much fun experiencing BL2 for the first time in the year 2024 :)
Enjoying these videos, seeing someone new to the series learning the game is interesting. Little tips for if you're going for a melee build, get a Maylay type shield and look for weapons that have knives attached, they actually give a melee damage boost, makes so much difference
Hope to see a complete play through from you, this game holds a dear spot in my heart cause it’s so amazing and the characters are unique. Keep up the content man it’s fun and love seeing new comers enjoy this game it truly is a treasure
Real talk, I haven't watched your channel in the past, but having played about 2k hours, watching you, a generally chill guy first viewing my favourite game ever giving me fresh appreciation for it may be my two favourite videos I've watched in a while
Hey man! Been watching your playthrough so far and have some helpful tips from someone with 3000+ hrs in the game. Hope some of these help you. Look forward to seeing more Bl2 videos from you in the future! -Item level matters so a gun that's level 5 becomes less effective against enemies that are level 10 and above. -Try to keep your gear between 3-4 levels of yourself. Red text and high rarity gear can be good for longer depending on what it is. -Filling out skills in the skill trees helps unlock new tiers and capstones. The capstone skills affect your character in noticeable ways and are worth working towards. Each tree has one at the bottom of the tree with an awesome skill halfway down. -Zer0 is a well balanced character with lots of helpful skills in his blue tree, sniping and gun skills in his green tree, and melee and survivability skills in his red tree.
The vaults are a big part of all the games don’t wanna spoil anything in case you wanna play the others. Just a tip tho keep a eye out for unique enemies or ones with unique names. Also I can’t believe you found a railer at level 10 on your first ever playthrough lol
Hey, don't forget to use your eridium to upgrade your ammo! Especially when you have guns like that Etech sniper that take 2 ammo per shot. Also, I subbed for this Borderlands series and I'm having a blast watching. Glad to see you doing side quests and I think it's hilarious you chose True Turquoise as your vehicle's skin, because that's what everyone chooses their first time just for the bikini chick (who looks a lot like Lilith) on the front.
I can’t imagine not speedrunning the first play through anymore, it’s so cool to see you dig through greens. Waiting to see you on uvhm, and then your second character and then the mods… hope you enjoy the game man it’s got a lot to give.
29:24 "mechromancer? I wanna play as a mechromancer~!" As someone who got borderlands and I chose the mechromancer as my first playthrough, no, you do not XD
All guns manufactured by the same company all have the same special effects. For tediore, you throw the gun that then explodes when you reload. The more ammo that's left in the mag when you reload the more damage the explosion does.
im getting such a 2012 vibe from your style of videos, also really enjoying the series man. Keep it up! The game is CRAZY deep, you'll get that exploration itch scratched in no time
Tip from a fellow vault hunter, try to focus one skill tree first, i noticed you had points scattered across different trees. you wont be able to access the good stuff in the trees until you spec into them. what i do is focus one skill until its maxed then move down. thats why that one skill only gave you a 4% bonus is bc its not fully upgraded. thank you for blessing us with this vid!
the fact that cat even came up and sniffed you is a good sign. outdoor cats are real standoff-ish to anything they're unsure about. this was a pleasure to watch btw I love BL2 and you have a cool attitude
Absolutely loving this series so far Quick side note: the weapon you got at 34:39 is not exactly a purple quality/epic weapon. It has a pinkish shade to it and is called an E-tech. In term of rarity, i'd say this is somewhere near the legendary rarity. And lastly, Zer0 (your character) only speaks in haiku (5-7-5 syllables poems) which is a cool detail
let's goo Bordenlands :D if u end up finishing this u gotta try borderlands 3 also you seem to like magic there's a character named Maya she uses magic so if u play this through u can try Maya next
Tip: there's multiple hidden places for loot and even puzzles to explore, and if you want to explore an area better do it with a side mission, I've beat the game multiple times and I'm trying not to spoil shit for you soo I'm gonna stop
There are so opportunities for fun. Loads of different builds you can do, lots of different loadouts, different challenge runs, and so much more. And Zer0 can be op as hell if you perk into him right, along with having the right gear.
Damn I got really excited to have a whole series to binge, only to realise it's only got two episodes so far. Really like your commentary so I'm definitely looking forward to the next ones!
Really enjoying this content, please make more videos of you just discovering borderlands 2 I would absolutely subscribe for that. Also DAMN an E-Tech sniper (The Dahl Railer 34:38 ) this early is crazy, that's gonna serve you until like level 16 haha!
dude i am so excited for the next video on borderlands 2, i love this game with all of my heart and it has been a blast to see you play through it for the first time
I have like 8000 hours in this franchise, I’ve seen about everything there is to see with borderlands. Yet your recent videos on the game have been some of the most enjoyable content I’ve seen for this game in years. I think it’s a mix of a true spoiler free experience topped with your passion and excitement to play. I can’t wait until you get to the end of the game.
Hey dude, been really enjoying watching you get into Borderlands. Such great games! I know the skills seem a bit more simple than some other games, but just remember that Borderlands was one of, if not the first ever looter shooters. They set the foundation for all other looter shooters and many games since. The DLC content in this game is pretty OP so I would get the GOTY or Handsome collection. Definitely get Borderlands 3 when you finish with 2. It has A LOT more modern mechanics and expands on the Borderlands universe a lot.
Couple tips about this game: 1. Each gun manufacturer has their on specific trait that all of their guns share, I’ll let you figure out what each one is for yourself but I’m sure you’ve already noticed some 2. Most of the bosses you can farm to get certain legendary weapons that each do their own crazy thing, for example doc mercy can be farmed to get a pistol that has infinite ammo 3. You can make an insanely crazy melee build with zero if you find the right gear and level into the right skill points!
Please make this a series on a semi decent basis, im loving your reactions so far. Also, if you feel like you're dying too often or tthe enemies are too hard in an area dont be afraid to google your level and good gear/what to do. Almost every boss/ miniboss has a dedicated legendary or unique (blue) drop, and its usually a 1/10. You can save and quit to re-kill most enemies, or just hope you get lucky on the first kill and move on, you'll probably get some random cool gun anyways.
This is a funny game, the longer you play it the more it has the potential of getting good, and poof, you're on your 9th character with a playtime of 1500 hours. The system and loop is absolutely addicting. Another banger, keep uploading so I can keep absorbing your excitement vicariously :^)
When you popped the head off of the Goliath in one shot it brought back memories of me telling my mates to aim for the head to level it and they'd aim for the body and say "nothing happened"
this game has a serious rabbit hole effect like the story gets you on the hook and the gameplay reels you in and next thing you know youre farming bosses for a gun with a specific grip and sight combo or prefix ive got like 3k hours sunk in at this point
I love youtube for putting this on my timeline. Borderlands 1 & 2 were big love. Borderlands 2 especialy with its story, jokes, items and amazing DLCs.
Im glad you revisited my favorite game ever, its soooo good. I always recommend at least one story playthrough to anyone and everyone because its so amazing. Also no, there is not a "true ending" if you dont die, the respawning mechanic isnt actually canon to the story despite the explanation, digistruction/fast travel is canon though. Also, you can put more points into a single skill to make it stronger, which is why some skills are only a few percent. Counterstrike is 4% every upgrade, adding to 20%, and its a good skill. Not great but good.
Haven’t seen many people touch on your feelings regarding the skill trees, so thought I would. You’re right in saying some skills are simply percentage increases. However, your character’s power will grow exponentially as you continue through the game. Many of the percentage increases can be upgrade multiple times, so while the first is 4% the last may be 20%. It’s not the most exciting, but upgrading these lower tier skills allow you to get to the end of the skill tree where the good stuff is. Combining later game skills with certain class mods and weapons/shields will make your build ridiculously strong.
Entertaining stuff, brother. Borderlands 2 is probably my favorite game of all time and seeing someone new discover the magic of it is always such a treat. Keep it up!
There's just something genuinely heartwarming in seeing someone experience this game for the first time, and just seeing him get excited about all the little quirks this game has is beautiful, I was just smiling through the whole video
I loved this video. Borderlands 2 is like top 5 game of mine, and so is Apex so seeing you make comments on apexsmovement and trying to setup keybind for tap-strafes is hilarious and relatable. Also:please go to sanctuary and upgrade your ammo SDUs with Marcus
If you wanna know more about gun parts and their stats, without being overwhelmed with specifics, this will help Each gun can spawn with different parts. Barrel, Grip, stock, sights, and an accessory. Each manufacturer has their own parts, and each part has its own changes to a specific stat. Some manufacturers dont create some weapon types, so they wont have any parts in that category. Parts will usually enhance the specific stat the manufacturer specializes in, but can also decrease its counterpart. Ex Tediore enhances reload speed, but decreases mag size If your grip matches the manufacturer's gun (Jakobs grip on a Jakobs gun), it will increase the damage and mag size slightly, on top of whatever is being changed. Every gun has an accessory slot, but doesnt always have one on it. Accessories usually change the first part of the name of the weapon. (13:30 The bandit shotgun has the prefix "Drummed", which is the mag size accessory for bandit shotguns. The Jakobs AR prefix is "Slicked", which is the no bonus/accessory prefix for Jakobs AR's) Unless you wanna deep dive into what each grip does, on each weapon type, that should be a fairly basic If you want to know what each part on each gun type does, theres this guide. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1443647450. But I'd say thats fairly unnecessary for early game, they wont matter too much until late game. But its nice to have if you wanna learn
oh hell yeah!! Also you're doing what you should with the cat! stray cats can sometimes take a while to befriend, and while sometimes cats need to be forced into better situations by rescuing them, this one seems okay to let build trust for you!
When borderlands 2 says “low health” what it means is 33%. You hit what’s known as health gate (a mechanic that keeps you from getting one shot no matter the damage), and your health bar will get a flashing indicator next to it. Once the thing is gone, you are above health gate and can avoid another one shot. Some end game builds with zer0 (the character you’re playing) involve getting his health super low, and way more health regen than you need for a health bar that small. Once you get around level 13-16 and get your first moxxi weapon (one of the best sources of health regen in the game) health gate mechanics will be a lot more useful. Sorry for the long comment but I’ve put thousands of hours into this game and love playing it with other people so I can share all the cool little tricks I’ve learned and discovered over the many, many many years.
This is my favorite game of all time. Not objectively the “best” but it’s so damn fun. You didn’t pick the easiest character but you’re doing great so far and I love these vids. It only gets better I promise. Keep em coming.
Hey man, I really love this game and I've enjoyed watching you play through it so far. I've never seen your other videos but I think you're funny and I can't wait to watch you discover how good this game really gets! By the way, one of the DLC characters is the one who says "I'm the conductor of the poop train!". His name is Krieg and it is from this game :D

Glitches and Fixes: NPCs getting stuck (Claptrap, Pvt Jessup etc), doors not opening, objectives not updating etc.
Fix: Lower your frame rate to 30 fps. Let the NPCs do their thing, then switch it back.
The game was originally made for consoles, that at the time, were capped at 30 fps.
When the game was ported for PC, better graphics and physics capabilities weren't taken into account.

Bro you gotta continue this series watching you learn the game that I have loved for so long is mad entertaining.
I wish I could erase all my knowledge to replay the game for the first time again, that would be amazing.
For a better gaming experience holding E on ammo sucks up everything you can pick up in small radius. Holding E on a shield, gun, grenade or relic automatically equips it so you don’t have to go into the inventory every time you want to equip something.
Duuuuude
No way you uploaded a second one! Was fearing you left the game at the beginning thinking it was just alright. Hope there will be more, maybe full playthrough?
Also two quick tips
If you ever get into the gunner seat of a car by accident, press C and you switch to the driver seat without getting out of the car first.
Second, if you ever find a cool gun that you immediately want to equip, you can hold E while picking it up and it will replace the gun you currently hold.. This way you won't have to go into a menu first to change it.
Your playthrough rocks!
I have been playing bl2 ever since I was 6. I'm much older and still play it. It's nice to see new players explore and learn my fav game!
BRO ME TOO, i player for the first time 11 years ago
Man also wish he could play bl1 fist but I understand why he played bl2 first probably for the best. Bl1 is one of my top games still since it is far more simple bl2 gets very meta guns only at higher levels or OP.
Bro there’s something about this game bro I get it 😭😭
6? holy you are young.
You could play this game an INFINITE amount of times and it will still be good.
Honestly, getting to watch someone play and expirence one of my favorites games in my child hood for the first time in these two videos hasbeen awesome. I know it prolly dont mean too much but thank you man, youve earned yourself a new sub
It means a lot to me. I appreciate every single comment, view, like, and I appreciate you taking the time to say this
Please make this a series! I love your personality and borderlands is a game I’ve been playing for more than a decade. I need to see your reaction to everything in this game. Please keep making borderlands videos, I’ll keep liking them.
for the cat, try leaving out a sock so it can get used to your smell while you're not there and also try looking away from it and let it get comfortable approaching you
@@Furno52470 good idea, they don’t have socks in minecraft so I never thought of that
making eye contact and blinking slowly can help too
@@3eeexton wait...
@@wyattroland yeah the slow blink is a love&trust message for cats
Though if you hold eye contact for too long, it's aggressive instead
This playthrough is pure gold. The pacing you gave with the editing is just perfect, you can actually follow along the quests and see what’s going on in the game, which is really nice imo.
Also i’m gonna throw this because this might help (even though you may have already figured that out) : you can see side-quests as a way to help you level up your gear or match your xp level to the one of the main quest. Because the xp and gear merely gathered during the main quest aren’t always sufficient to continue pushing through it, picking some SQs here and there along your journey is a great idea.
HI HERE'S A STORY EXPLANATION WITH NO SPOILERS:
Tldr there's these things in the universe called The Vaults. They're like the one piece, said to hold some kinda great power and/or riches. Commander Steele from the first game found and opened on of the vaults on pandora, leading to a substance called eridium and to appear spread throughout pandora, effecting the planet in multiple ways that you get to see throughout the story. There are these people called vault hunters (which you play as in all the games) who want to find and open it. Jack (The CEO of Hyperion, one of the gun manufacturers in the game) found ANOTHER vault on Pandora while his company mined the eridium. Lilith specifically mentions it messing with her powers because she's a Siren, which are basically alien women with magic powers (you can play as one in every game, the one you can play as in BL2 is named maya). Sirens have a connection to eridium, which is a whole other can of worms. The whole game, story wise, is basically running around Pandora helping the crimson raiders take down Jack and his rain of tyranny on pandora, which you get to see get increasingly wild throughout the game.
SIDE NOTES: The game has some really interesting lore and an amazing storyline. I would hella recommend playing the commander lilth dlc and the expansions thingies bc they're very fun and silly. Also, the mecromancer is Gaige, one of the dlc characters.
I put so much faith in that no spoilers thank you for not breaking my trust 😭 preciate the lore too, this game makes me wanna go back and play the original
@3eeexton LMAO, I GOT YOU BRO 🙏
Heads up if you play the first game, it is A LOT more janky and laid back than the 2nd game. Chill and still hella funny at times but a major downgrade in almost every aspect. Story wise, it only just introduces a small few things within the world. It has good atmosphere, but there's a LOT of reading you gotta do to get the full story context for missions and such; plus character dialog is basically excitnct outside of story missions. If you're looking into playing more borderlands games after 2 I'd hella recommend the Pre-Sequel and Tales from the borderlands (stay away from new tales lol) (Also play tales before the Lilith dlc bc they're connected!)
Uhm you kinda lied. The eridium was not from the vault jack opened. Jack hadnt opened any vaults yet. The "vault" marcus was talking about was the one from the first game, which caused eridium to be created, and jack came to pandora afterwards for the eridium, and his eridium mining caused the vault to be found. Kinda important detail in the story.
@@plutonicattic7995OH OOPS Lemme edit my thing with the correct lore
@@plutonicattic7995 well Jack definitely had a part in opening the first vault (though for reasons of spoilers I won't say more here)
just watched the first episode a couple hours ago and was upset to see there wasnt a 2nd one yet, entertaining to see someone experience my favorite game ever for the first time
For goliaths, as they evolve they actually get better and better loot, so it is a decent strat to headshot one and then chill back while it levels up
It isn't just their loot that improves as they level up. Each time a raging Goliath kills an enemy it doubles the exp value the player would have gained if they had killed it, and adds that total to it's own exp value when you kill it. IE the Goliath kills something worth 100 xp. When you kill the Goliath you will get the xp it's worth plus an extra 200 xp. They don't have a cap on this bonus xp that I've seen. In theory you can lure one around a map and help it kill everything. Then betray it for massive xp gains.
Oof, my bad. Thanks for correction
@@AceChampJames they also drop decent loot tho good purple ravagers etc
@@AceChampJames the downside is if something else kills the godliath you dont get any of the exp
First things first: Loving this blind playthrough! Ive played BL2 on and off for a decade now, and seeing you rediscover some of my favourite things is such a joy! Also the jerk reaction i get when you run past a chest or some secret i know of ;P
A few tips if you want to push the game further than you already do; (spoiler-free)
1. Most sidequests give cool rewards, but are not needed for progression. The game expects you to do the occational sidequest, especially if you feel like the mainquest is getting though.
2. Every quest has a lvl, and the rewards follow the lvl. In early game weapons get better real fast so you're going to find yourself swapping your loadout often (even legendaries only last 5-10lvl normally)
3. Most 'Named' enemies (bosses and mini-bosses) can be farmed after quest completion by saving to main meny, re-entering the game, and visiting the area you fought them earlier. This is normally not needed but a nice way to explore the whacky loot and xp grind.
4. In one area in this video you fought enemies that were a few lvl higher than you. Thats a hint that you may be in an area you shouldnt just yet. Many deaths occur there and people end up just hitting a wall for a long time.
5. For this specific spot you ended the episode i'd recommend revisiting Doc mercy for his loot (1/10 drop chance on each kill) or taking Lilliths sidequest from Sanctuary and Killing that miniboss for his loot (1/10 here aswell)((this one you may laugh at more since youre american))
Happy playing, cant wait for your next ep
Pro tip: If you hold E on a weapon you pick up it will go straight to your hands, if you hold E on ammo/currency it will pick up all ammo/currency you can.
The side quests can be a bit repetitive but the exp they give, plus some give crazy useful gear, makes it a good idea to pick them up as you go
remember the guy who said his dad was killed by spoon
you had to be there :)
I never knew someone said that. That is absolutely mind blowing
Joltzdude here on 5 things you didn't know in bl2 you can actually find the spoon guy's kid in sanctuary.
Literally the first time I've ever heard that line. I've beat the game 3 times as each character at least.
Haven't fully watched yet, but glad you made another video. I haven't seen anyone with genuine new reactions to the borderlands series in a while and it's nice to see someone starting fresh.
Fun to see this man thanks for posting, brings back a lot of good memories :) Have fun bro you still got lots comin!
Just saw the first episode and I loved it glad you came out with another one
Glad you stuck around
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but the skill at the bottom of each skill tree is typically a major augment that changes or upgrades your skill in some way. You can only get enough levels for 1 or 2 in the base game, so it's worth looking at them, then picking which one(s) you want to work towards.
Anyway, it's surprisingly fun to watch and listen to you play this. I've played borderlands 2 so much that I just can't do it anymore, so seeing it from fresh eyes is nice. Glad you're having fun!
Your two videos of your experience in borderlands 2 are genuinely better than a Borderlands movie. Would love to see more!
Haha I’ve heard ab the borderlands movie 💀 lucky timing on my part I’m glad you like em
man...that shit is a disaster
@@3eeexton please never watch that movie
8 years of playing this game and I'm still finding new things.
Like I don't even remember hearing some of the echos in opportunity.
The base game is crazy detailed with worldbuilding!
still at the start of the video so im not sure if you've discovered it yet or not. but different gun manufacturers have different "gimmicks" with their gun such as:
TORGUE: explosive bullets / explosive damage
Dahl: usually some sort of burst when scoped, single shot when firing at the hip type shit
jackobs: gunslinger kind of weapons as you've already found out
Maliwan: elemental weapons in which their bullets do lightning, slag, fire, or corrosion damage
Bandit: have really high magazine capacities
hyperion: gun gets more accurate as you keep shooting it
Tediore: youve see theirs already
Don't forget Vladof with their automatic weapons.
Also rarer weapons can be elemental just Maliwan weapons deal more elemental damage.
for the cat, is the best option to feed it a few souls of the innocent and maybe build a shrine shaped like a pyramid that floats
that or dont stare right at its eyes and just let them get comfortable to your smell and presence
massively underrated tuber, don't mean to stroke your ego but bro I'm loving this
getting slapped up by your girl at prom has gotta be -10 aura 😭😭
-10000
really hope you continue with this game would love for u to experience this game to its fullest
41:47 When you ran past that chest without noticing it... I felt that!
"I've been doing it like minecraft."
*smacks the cat with fish until he loves you* lol
about Zer0's skills and the skilltrees in general, yes Ambush gives 4% PER LEVEL. most skills can be leveled x5, so Ambush should be thought of as a 20% boost. it's great for exiting deception
Also the math in this game is just fucked 20% on some things is just a 20% but on others it boosts absolutely everything including the other boosts
bro you are so unintentionally hilarious. i cant get enough of these videos this is awesome.
Hey im someone who has 9k + hours on borderlands and half are on bl2, I saw your first video and love seeing this community grow
Some tips of you want some
-(almost) all unique named baddies can drop a legendary weapon that has some cool special effect to it (most odds are a 1/10) and you can save quit to menu and press continue to try again
-each manufacture has something special about there guns, Jacobs has bonus crit, torgue does explosive, maliwan is good with elemental dam, tediore explodes like a grenade when thrown, bandit has large mags, Hyperion gets better accuracy the longer you hold the trigger, vladof has high fire rate, and dahl has the burst/auto/semi when ads or non ads.
-guns can roll with different parts on them which give them a prefix and a suffix (thats a bit advanced but just a good thing to know)
-classmods help so much with skill tree builds they will allow some skills to be 9/5 instead of the cap being 5/5 which is huge
-DLC is actually worth it in this game, some of the best dlc in a game ive played
And a bonus tip, EXPLORE!! it wont always reward you but sometimes it will and be worth it!! Dont worry about clearing quest areas before you get a quest as well as it is just bonus EXP
You will find this out but the different weapon manufacturers all have a unique to them effect kinda. Dahl -burst when scoped
Jacobs -has a really fast fire rate
Tediore -explodes while reloading
Maliwan -high elemental chance
Torgue -shoots explosive bullets
Vladof -increases fire rate when continuously fired
Bandit -larger mag sizes
Each gun manufacturer has a different gun effect.
Jacobs: Pure damage and critical hit damge increase.
Hyperion: Recoil stability is high and lowers the more you shot, instead of getting worse.
Torgue: exposive bullets.
Dahl: burst fire when zoomed, 1 shot when hip firing.
Tediore: explodes when reloaded.
Maliwan: Always does elemental damage.
Vladof: full automatic.
Bandit: high ammo magazine.
I hope you see this and it's helpful.
The vault opening they talk about is the one you open in the first game, and this basically released the eridium and stuff, it was talked about in the intro. But don't worry they will explain everything when its relevant. Really enjoying your playthrough, excited for future uploads
Just fyi special enemies will drop special dedicated items in their loot pool, for example doc mercy has a low chance to drop a very good gun that will only drop from him (except from world drops) but it will take a lot of attempts to get it to drop (to farm an enemy you will need to save and exit, rejoin, kill the special enemy, repeat I am telling you this because you probably wouldn't have found out otherwise. Anyways love the series already and cant wait for more ❤
So a few points about character progression-
Each skill tree focuses on a different aspect of gunplay or melee. As you put points into your choice of skill tree, it’ll advance to the next row unlocking access for those skills. The end of each skill tree(and in most cases one or two perks in the center) has a penultimate skill that can drastically change how your build plays. For example, one of axtons skills lets him place his turret pretty much anywhere instead of at his feet. One of zer0s skills lets him reset his decoy so that he can stay invisible for a long time(there’s actually an achievement for staying invisible for an entire minute). Once you get to max level you’ll have enough skill points to get two skills trees maxed out. You can always re-spec at a customization station if you aren’t enjoying your current build.
Different characters can specialize in specific things, zer0 and Krieg are the only two characters with dedicated melee skill trees for example. Axton can make great use of grenades, rockets and all manor of explosive weapons. Maya can choose a heavy elemental damage build. Salvador just does Salvador things…(it’s a good time).
Zer0’s three skill trees focus on sniping and critical damage, decepti0n(your hologram) and buffs for both melee and ranged, and melee respectively. Melee builds are probably the toughest to pull off as they are MUCH more gear dependent than other builds and that gear isn’t as common and is just a harder play style in a game focused on shooting. For example, the best items for a zer0 melee build come from the pirate DLC. There aren’t melee weapons per se but there are guns with a melee modifier, usually indicated by a bayonet of some kind.
I’m really enjoying watching someone experience this masterpiece for the first time. I hope you keep playing brother as the game only gets better from here. If you have any questions feel free to ask I’m sure there are lots of people in the comments that can answer anything you might ask.
I’ll say it for the people in the back, if you don’t f with Deeexton. Consider yourself an op. Love your vids man. I’m playing BL2 for my first time too and I’m glad to learn things about the game with you. I hope you keep making content, you are a great UA-camr❤
Also that 43:40-43:42 was hilarious. The way you said damn as it brought up her name was funny af.
Hooray! This next video has brightened my day, already waiting on the next one.
Keep an eye out for plenty of pop culture references in quests and weapon text,for example the volleyball quest was a top gun reference.
Love the fact youre having so much fun.
I loved these videos, vicariously re-experiencing BL2 through you.
This is one of my top games and I’m sure everyone has already said it before but , DLC and side quests are still some good content.
You’re such a chill dude your sense of humor is on point
man im so glad i found your channel, you seem like the chillest dude ever. hope you continue the series bc this is one of my fav games ever and seeing someone experience it for the first time is straight up magical
It makes me so fucking happy to see new people playing this blind nowadays. I hope you continue this series!
It's super fun and refreshing to see someone playing one of your most favorite games ever for the first time. Best advice I can give is to keep doing what you're doing. Taking the side quests you feel like doing and exploring areas whenever you go "Ooh, that looks interesting." is the best way to go about playing this game. Trying to do every little thing you possibly can will burn you out cause this game is *huge*, so just do a few side stuff then get back to the main story.
Entertaining commentary, a cute cat story, and an In for the kill reference all packaged in a video on one of my favorite games. Take this sub. Great content bro!
I saw the first part but once I saw a second I knew I had to subscribe. I truly hope to see this become a series for you. I've played more than 2000 hrs over 3 different consoles. I've even had to restart from scratch. I hope you enjoy this game as much as the rest of us.
love seeing someone experience this game for the first time, looking forward to following this series and this channel in the future
also, not sure if this has been mentioned but when you are looking at the skill trees, look to the bottom to see the more unique skills to see what you want to work toward
you can always respec your whole skill tree at the stations where you edit how your character looks, there is one in sanctuary near the bounty board and fast travel station
Fun fact about those Tediore guns, when you reload-throw them, they do more damage the more bullets are left in it when you reload! It’s so awesome to see someone having this much fun experiencing BL2 for the first time in the year 2024 :)
Enjoying these videos, seeing someone new to the series learning the game is interesting. Little tips for if you're going for a melee build, get a Maylay type shield and look for weapons that have knives attached, they actually give a melee damage boost, makes so much difference
Hope to see a complete play through from you, this game holds a dear spot in my heart cause it’s so amazing and the characters are unique. Keep up the content man it’s fun and love seeing new comers enjoy this game it truly is a treasure
Real talk, I haven't watched your channel in the past, but having played about 2k hours, watching you, a generally chill guy first viewing my favourite game ever giving me fresh appreciation for it may be my two favourite videos I've watched in a while
Hey man! Been watching your playthrough so far and have some helpful tips from someone with 3000+ hrs in the game. Hope some of these help you. Look forward to seeing more Bl2 videos from you in the future!
-Item level matters so a gun that's level 5 becomes less effective against enemies that are level 10 and above.
-Try to keep your gear between 3-4 levels of yourself. Red text and high rarity gear can be good for longer depending on what it is.
-Filling out skills in the skill trees helps unlock new tiers and capstones. The capstone skills affect your character in noticeable ways and are worth working towards. Each tree has one at the bottom of the tree with an awesome skill halfway down.
-Zer0 is a well balanced character with lots of helpful skills in his blue tree, sniping and gun skills in his green tree, and melee and survivability skills in his red tree.
The vaults are a big part of all the games don’t wanna spoil anything in case you wanna play the others. Just a tip tho keep a eye out for unique enemies or ones with unique names. Also I can’t believe you found a railer at level 10 on your first ever playthrough lol
Hey, don't forget to use your eridium to upgrade your ammo! Especially when you have guns like that Etech sniper that take 2 ammo per shot. Also, I subbed for this Borderlands series and I'm having a blast watching. Glad to see you doing side quests and I think it's hilarious you chose True Turquoise as your vehicle's skin, because that's what everyone chooses their first time just for the bikini chick (who looks a lot like Lilith) on the front.
I can’t imagine not speedrunning the first play through anymore, it’s so cool to see you dig through greens. Waiting to see you on uvhm, and then your second character and then the mods… hope you enjoy the game man it’s got a lot to give.
29:24 "mechromancer? I wanna play as a mechromancer~!" As someone who got borderlands and I chose the mechromancer as my first playthrough, no, you do not XD
All guns manufactured by the same company all have the same special effects.
For tediore, you throw the gun that then explodes when you reload. The more ammo that's left in the mag when you reload the more damage the explosion does.
im getting such a 2012 vibe from your style of videos, also really enjoying the series man. Keep it up! The game is CRAZY deep, you'll get that exploration itch scratched in no time
Tip from a fellow vault hunter, try to focus one skill tree first, i noticed you had points scattered across different trees. you wont be able to access the good stuff in the trees until you spec into them. what i do is focus one skill until its maxed then move down. thats why that one skill only gave you a 4% bonus is bc its not fully upgraded. thank you for blessing us with this vid!
the fact that cat even came up and sniffed you is a good sign. outdoor cats are real standoff-ish to anything they're unsure about. this was a pleasure to watch btw I love BL2 and you have a cool attitude
Thanks for the series! I would love to see more!!
Glad you've gained a new audience)
Absolutely loving this series so far
Quick side note: the weapon you got at 34:39 is not exactly a purple quality/epic weapon. It has a pinkish shade to it and is called an E-tech. In term of rarity, i'd say this is somewhere near the legendary rarity.
And lastly, Zer0 (your character) only speaks in haiku (5-7-5 syllables poems) which is a cool detail
E-Techs are indeed really rare, but are pretty bad. Like the Eridian weapons in BL1.
let's goo Bordenlands :D
if u end up finishing this u gotta try borderlands 3 also you seem to like magic there's a character named Maya she uses magic so if u play this through u can try Maya next
Tip: there's multiple hidden places for loot and even puzzles to explore, and if you want to explore an area better do it with a side mission, I've beat the game multiple times and I'm trying not to spoil shit for you soo I'm gonna stop
There are so opportunities for fun. Loads of different builds you can do, lots of different loadouts, different challenge runs, and so much more. And Zer0 can be op as hell if you perk into him right, along with having the right gear.
Damn I got really excited to have a whole series to binge, only to realise it's only got two episodes so far. Really like your commentary so I'm definitely looking forward to the next ones!
Really enjoying this content, please make more videos of you just discovering borderlands 2 I would absolutely subscribe for that.
Also DAMN an E-Tech sniper (The Dahl Railer 34:38 ) this early is crazy, that's gonna serve you until like level 16 haha!
dude i am so excited for the next video on borderlands 2, i love this game with all of my heart and it has been a blast to see you play through it for the first time
I have like 8000 hours in this franchise, I’ve seen about everything there is to see with borderlands. Yet your recent videos on the game have been some of the most enjoyable content I’ve seen for this game in years. I think it’s a mix of a true spoiler free experience topped with your passion and excitement to play. I can’t wait until you get to the end of the game.
Hey dude, been really enjoying watching you get into Borderlands. Such great games!
I know the skills seem a bit more simple than some other games, but just remember that Borderlands was one of, if not the first ever looter shooters. They set the foundation for all other looter shooters and many games since.
The DLC content in this game is pretty OP so I would get the GOTY or Handsome collection.
Definitely get Borderlands 3 when you finish with 2. It has A LOT more modern mechanics and expands on the Borderlands universe a lot.
Couple tips about this game:
1. Each gun manufacturer has their on specific trait that all of their guns share, I’ll let you figure out what each one is for yourself but I’m sure you’ve already noticed some
2. Most of the bosses you can farm to get certain legendary weapons that each do their own crazy thing, for example doc mercy can be farmed to get a pistol that has infinite ammo
3. You can make an insanely crazy melee build with zero if you find the right gear and level into the right skill points!
Please make this a series on a semi decent basis, im loving your reactions so far. Also, if you feel like you're dying too often or tthe enemies are too hard in an area dont be afraid to google your level and good gear/what to do.
Almost every boss/ miniboss has a dedicated legendary or unique (blue) drop, and its usually a 1/10. You can save and quit to re-kill most enemies, or just hope you get lucky on the first kill and move on, you'll probably get some random cool gun anyways.
This is a funny game, the longer you play it the more it has the potential of getting good, and poof, you're on your 9th character with a playtime of 1500 hours. The system and loop is absolutely addicting. Another banger, keep uploading so I can keep absorbing your excitement vicariously :^)
49:00 What the hell, I've never seen the AI get this desperate lol.
dude its been so long since i watched a long gameplay video. but theres something makes me wanna watch you. cool stuff, keep it up!
You playing through this fresh is like replaying it for the first time. It's a great watch. Im looking forward to the next one
When you popped the head off of the Goliath in one shot it brought back memories of me telling my mates to aim for the head to level it and they'd aim for the body and say "nothing happened"
As a 24 year old who started this game when i was 12 its awesome to see people get joy out of it so many years later timeless game
Also loving the play through please continue
this game has a serious rabbit hole effect like the story gets you on the hook and the gameplay reels you in and next thing you know youre farming bosses for a gun with a specific grip and sight combo or prefix ive got like 3k hours sunk in at this point
I love youtube for putting this on my timeline.
Borderlands 1 & 2 were big love.
Borderlands 2 especialy with its story, jokes, items and amazing DLCs.
Like to see a full playthrough always a nice experience seeing people experience your favorite games for the first time
Im glad you revisited my favorite game ever, its soooo good. I always recommend at least one story playthrough to anyone and everyone because its so amazing. Also no, there is not a "true ending" if you dont die, the respawning mechanic isnt actually canon to the story despite the explanation, digistruction/fast travel is canon though.
Also, you can put more points into a single skill to make it stronger, which is why some skills are only a few percent. Counterstrike is 4% every upgrade, adding to 20%, and its a good skill. Not great but good.
Haven’t seen many people touch on your feelings regarding the skill trees, so thought I would. You’re right in saying some skills are simply percentage increases. However, your character’s power will grow exponentially as you continue through the game. Many of the percentage increases can be upgrade multiple times, so while the first is 4% the last may be 20%. It’s not the most exciting, but upgrading these lower tier skills allow you to get to the end of the skill tree where the good stuff is. Combining later game skills with certain class mods and weapons/shields will make your build ridiculously strong.
Entertaining stuff, brother. Borderlands 2 is probably my favorite game of all time and seeing someone new discover the magic of it is always such a treat. Keep it up!
Enjoying this series - please keep it going and have fun!
Borderlands 2 was one of my first ever games and it's so amazing to see you discovering it! Keep up the good work, I'll be there to watch it.
i've been waiting for this
There's just something genuinely heartwarming in seeing someone experience this game for the first time, and just seeing him get excited about all the little quirks this game has is beautiful, I was just smiling through the whole video
I LOVE these videos so far, I really would like to see you finish this game and maybe the dlcs as well!
This is one of the most pure play througs I’ve ever seen. If you continued to play this series, it would have a death grip on me.
Man this video is amazing. Great commentary.
I loved this video. Borderlands 2 is like top 5 game of mine, and so is Apex so seeing you make comments on apexsmovement and trying to setup keybind for tap-strafes is hilarious and relatable. Also:please go to sanctuary and upgrade your ammo SDUs with Marcus
If you wanna know more about gun parts and their stats, without being overwhelmed with specifics, this will help
Each gun can spawn with different parts. Barrel, Grip, stock, sights, and an accessory. Each manufacturer has their own parts, and each part has its own changes to a specific stat.
Some manufacturers dont create some weapon types, so they wont have any parts in that category.
Parts will usually enhance the specific stat the manufacturer specializes in, but can also decrease its counterpart. Ex Tediore enhances reload speed, but decreases mag size
If your grip matches the manufacturer's gun (Jakobs grip on a Jakobs gun), it will increase the damage and mag size slightly, on top of whatever is being changed.
Every gun has an accessory slot, but doesnt always have one on it. Accessories usually change the first part of the name of the weapon. (13:30 The bandit shotgun has the prefix "Drummed", which is the mag size accessory for bandit shotguns. The Jakobs AR prefix is "Slicked", which is the no bonus/accessory prefix for Jakobs AR's)
Unless you wanna deep dive into what each grip does, on each weapon type, that should be a fairly basic
If you want to know what each part on each gun type does, theres this guide. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1443647450.
But I'd say thats fairly unnecessary for early game, they wont matter too much until late game. But its nice to have if you wanna learn
oh hell yeah!!
Also you're doing what you should with the cat! stray cats can sometimes take a while to befriend, and while sometimes cats need to be forced into better situations by rescuing them, this one seems okay to let build trust for you!
When borderlands 2 says “low health” what it means is 33%. You hit what’s known as health gate (a mechanic that keeps you from getting one shot no matter the damage), and your health bar will get a flashing indicator next to it. Once the thing is gone, you are above health gate and can avoid another one shot. Some end game builds with zer0 (the character you’re playing) involve getting his health super low, and way more health regen than you need for a health bar that small. Once you get around level 13-16 and get your first moxxi weapon (one of the best sources of health regen in the game) health gate mechanics will be a lot more useful. Sorry for the long comment but I’ve put thousands of hours into this game and love playing it with other people so I can share all the cool little tricks I’ve learned and discovered over the many, many many years.
This is my favorite game of all time. Not objectively the “best” but it’s so damn fun. You didn’t pick the easiest character but you’re doing great so far and I love these vids. It only gets better I promise. Keep em coming.
Hey man, I really love this game and I've enjoyed watching you play through it so far. I've never seen your other videos but I think you're funny and I can't wait to watch you discover how good this game really gets! By the way, one of the DLC characters is the one who says "I'm the conductor of the poop train!". His name is Krieg and it is from this game :D
