A few responses to common questions: I somehow missed the Stinger (mostly because I've never used Seraph weapons before), but I will do a short follow-up in my next video. I didn't use the Bee skin because I didn't have it, but I'm going to edit in all skins for future playthroughs. And I guess this idea is way more widespread than I first thought. I didn't use Hector's Paradise since I used it a bit in my last OP10 run, and I was going off of gun names. I got the idea when thinking of my last run when I was eating lunch. Also, I know all items aren't exactly "Bees", but they are all flying things that sting, so close enough. Finally, I wanted to make more bee references, I just didn't have the time, this video was late enough as is. But the largest thing I wanted to reference was the videos (and game) that I started this channel with: Bee Swarm Simulator. It's been years since I played it, but a re-visit could be for some special.
Just wanna mention, Zero can also slag enemies using the Death Blossom capstone skill in his middle tree. You can throw up to 5 sets of Kunai’s during Deception, and each Kunai deals a random element with a high chance to apply that status effect, including slag. It also applies Death Mark, which makes the enemy take 80% more damage from all sources
I completely forgot about that. I haven't played Zer0 in years, and I've been looking for a run to play him in, and now I'm disappointed in myself. I think he's a great contender for the VH for this run, but I would have to check his customization to see if I can make a beekeeper.
I believe you can put the stinky on any enemy, as long as you are determined enough. I'm also a massive fan, and you are the one who inspired me to make my first Borderlands video, so I have you to thank for a large portion of my success
Yeah, it is super annoying to rely on slag, but that's why I'm interested in seeing how TPS' endgame is because there is no slag in that game, so it's balanced differently.
This is a really cool concept. It's not super difficult like runs with only a single weapon(usually a bad one), but it's a true gimmick run, which gets full marks in my book
I was hoping to say BEElieve at some point, but it didn't really fit very well. I wish I had more Bee puns to add, it would have been way better, I'm just not good at Beeing funny.
First of, fun commentary, keep it up! Second: I both love and hate how much I enjoyed when it gets so far that I hear "Hit em in the piston" in my head as I watched a Borderlands 2 video. My want to play this game again increases just by watching, wth xD
I think that's what makes BL2 the most popular game in the series. There are just an insane amount of possibilities in this game, and it's always cool to see what people come up with!
I guess I didn't look at the gun list closely enough then. It also doesn't help that I've only gotten 1 seraph before. As cool as it would have been to use it though, the Hornet was already eating tons pistol ammo.
@@LookIntoGaming for sure, the one thing it certainly would have helped with was the fact that it can come in slag (which might have made the run too easy). Either way, great vid, keep it up. :)

With the amazing reception of this run, absolutely! I have some faint ideas, and they would need testing to see if they're viable, but I have some other videos planned before my next BL2 run.
Thank you. I hadn't played him in 7 years at the time of making this run, and to make up for that blank, I played as him in the BL2 run right after this.
Gotta say maya might have been a solid pick for this run since she gets slag in her kit and projectile speed for the unique plasma caster not to mention smg based kit
I was considering her at first, but I did my only other OP10 run with her, and I wanted to try other VHs, and Axton is the one I felt comfortable playing.
maybe being salvador coulda helped more with the challenge but bxtons build here was PERFECT and the gameplay was great but sal using 2 of the stinger pistols and the hives AND yellow jackets is awesome damage wise
What's this?! A challenge run of a 12 year old looter shooter that is entirely focused around the usage of bee-themed items?! I think my rocket launcher loaded with BEES aught to put a stop to that! If anyone actually gets this, I'll bee surprised.
You could opp out the jacket for the shock pistol variation of the horent in a lilith dlc maybe a a future re run of this run it has the same skin as the hornet so you could say it is bee based just by the skin
ive always wanted to do this!! thank you so much! only gripe is u should call it the stinger build just so its a little more broad. and it sounds cool lol.
I'm glad you liked it! I honestly didn't know about the stinger (I somehow missed it in the gun list). It doesn't help that I haven't ever used Seraphs, but it would have been cool to try. I will make that up with a short bit in my next video.
No, it sounds impossible, I couldn’t imagine the little guys doing any damage to the warrior without being vaporised by the heat. Sad to see this, save the bees guys. 😔
I had this idea a few months ago and gave it a small attempt but gave up lol the only thing I did different was use maya because she has a “Queen Matriarch” class mod
Played bl2 enough to know that an under leveled bee shield and hornet with any character is enough to beat the main story ... the problem is when you start a brand new save ...the bee shield is such a late game item and the rng on getting it sucks.. but the hornet on the other hand likes to drop where ever ...the only legendary I've found more than once from a box or pile
Im surprised you didnt spec into holding more grenades, the firebee is very potent in terms of fire damage. Also the bee shield probably made this so much harder for you 😂 Axton's shield regen skills are finicky with amp shields. Most require actual damage / shield breaking to trigger properly.
I didn't do enough testing, because that would have been great for sections with flesh enemies. And I'm not sure what shields Axton works the best with, but I the Bee was going to be a problem from the first time I got hit.
@@LookIntoGaming oh I didn’t see beforehand, I’ll be sure to give that a look, but otherwise I get it, it’s stagnates gameplay quite a bit, and it can seem boring, but regardless, at least the run was quite fun to watch. 😁👍
Thank you! The other main thing I forget about is how much fun it is to try new weapons that I would never get in normal runs, and that's why I try to use different weapons all the time!
That sounds like a super interesting idea, since shock weapons don't spawn at the beginning. It would also be a great run and excuse to finally play Gaige.

Bxton calls the turret "honey" so it's still thematically appropriate 👍
It's a clear sign that it's been too long since I've last played Axton, because I don't remember all of his lines like I used to.

While it can slag, realistically the chances are way less consistent than the slag turret or like Scorn. Death Mark is nice though 👀
he's also great with the bee bc the deception timer almost always gives a free recharge
@@alexmacic5955 Death Mark is an absolute GOAT for me, such a great skill to have in any situation
@@juggftw4868 plus, you can use One Shot One kill combined with Bee and Deception on the Hive to get an absolutely BUSTED shot

The free flowing exchange between pronunciations of "grenade" is honestly the best part of this video
And this is me speaking to a mic alone. My speech has improved over time, but my crippling social anxiety is why I tend to speak weird like that.

Bees are overrated when you could just one shot
our bee themed item is basic but it gets the job done👌
Can we finally admit that slag makes borderlands 2 endgame awful and getting rid of slag was the best decision gearbox made
It being as hard as it is without slag is the annoying part.
BL1 had Corrosive, TPS had Cryo, and BL3 had Radiation, all of which acted as debuffs, but weren't nearly as mandatory as Slag is in BL2.
I like slag I just think they made it too necessary, I wish instead of radiation they just reworked slag in BL3
@@SayItWithASM woah a sane person!
Yeah, it is super annoying to rely on slag, but that's why I'm interested in seeing how TPS' endgame is because there is no slag in that game, so it's balanced differently.

This is a really cool concept. It's not super difficult like runs with only a single weapon(usually a bad one), but it's a true gimmick run, which gets full marks in my book
Thank you! The other great part of this run is how it helps ease me into OP10 and other VHs and skills.
Been binging Lilgasmask and you for these Can you Beat Borderlands videos🙏🏽
That's awesome! I'm glad my videos are as good as LGM's! He was the inspiration for my first BL2 video, and the rest is history.

Hectors paradise for the last weapon, its an rebranded hornet.

Second: I both love and hate how much I enjoyed when it gets so far that I hear "Hit em in the piston" in my head as I watched a Borderlands 2 video. My want to play this game again increases just by watching, wth xD
Honestly it's probably the game with the most replayability in terms of stupid shit you can
So it's only fair to want to play it when watching a run
Thank you very much! I find it funny when someone quotes a character from this game, and I can just hear the line in their voice in my head.
I think that's what makes BL2 the most popular game in the series. There are just an insane amount of possibilities in this game, and it's always cool to see what people come up with!
1:56 In my opinion, Maya would have BEEn the best choice.
And she would have BEEn super fun to play, but I played as her in my last (and only other) OP 10 run, so I didn't want to play as her twice in a row.
@@LookIntoGaming makes sense
nobody is ready for an unprompted gauge OP10 run, its like dropping a bomb in the lap of somebody who just woke up and telling them to defuse it.
you could have used the stinger as well for your 4th weapon
I guess I didn't look at the gun list closely enough then. It also doesn't help that I've only gotten 1 seraph before. As cool as it would have been to use it though, the Hornet was already eating tons pistol ammo.
I was coming to suggest the same thing... Great minds think alike I guess 😃
@@LookIntoGaming for sure, the one thing it certainly would have helped with was the fact that it can come in slag (which might have made the run too easy). Either way, great vid, keep it up. :)

"slag isn't necessary in op 10" - understatement of the world
Constructors do have insane damage reduction against Grenades. They also cannot be slagged.
Oh yeah, that's the other main issue, and that's why they're so difficult to kill as Axton.
This video is certainly buzzing with activity
I really wish I was more creative because these comments are amazing.
@@LookIntoGaming your video's are entertaining and fun to watch thats creative enough
Aww, Thank you very much!

Zer0 slags with his Kunai btw, just thought I'd let you know :)
Thank you. I hadn't played him in 7 years at the time of making this run, and to make up for that blank, I played as him in the BL2 run right after this.
Borderlands 2 but axton is incredibly *tickleish*. "NNOoooo. Don't tickle meeeee!!!"
Zer0's kunai in stealth also can slug from what i remember.
Unlucky, it was already mentioned.
I did completely forget that, but that is the best thing about comments, learning new things and being reminded about others!
All the BEEcause etc sprinkled in this video are perfection
Thank you! I wish I had a bit more time, as I wanted to add more bee puns, but I didn't have the brain power to make more.
Maya's skill "ruin" slags enemies, her melee override "scorn" also slags enemies
"I will... BEE... playing" god fuckin damn it bruh why did that make me laugh 😂
Thank you! I really wish I had come up with more bee puns, but I am very happy with that one.
The Stinger couldve also maybe counted?
Fun fact: In lore, the designer of the yellow jacket is colorblind so that’s why it’s blue and not yellow :)
Face shot with a yellow jacket = awesomeness
It's even crazier that it was the only viable weapon for the challenge.
All you need is hornet, bee and axton
I dared gasmask666 to do that challenge but he never did yet. Thanks for doing it yourself, you deserved an sub
class mod also kinda looks like a bee hive so valid
I didnt see a single bee, disappointed. I love bees, the collect nector and make honey. But didnt see no honey neither.
Fair point. My very early videos are focused around bees, and there might be another bee-related run in the future.
What a missed opportunity to name your character *Dr. Bees*
There were way too many name options, but NOT THE BEES was chosen because it's a Terraria secret seed as well.
Gotta say maya might have been a solid pick for this run since she gets slag in her kit and projectile speed for the unique plasma caster not to mention smg based kit
I was considering her at first, but I did my only other OP10 run with her, and I wanted to try other VHs, and Axton is the one I felt comfortable playing.
This is actually a pretty Nifty challenge run
Wouldn't hectors paradice technically count as a shock hornet?
The inquisition needs Beeees 😂
Hornets and Yellow jackets are wasps I believe but I would use the same equipment.
I wonder how this would've gone with Maya and Scorn for slag, she has good crowd control too with her singularity phase lock ability
It probably would have gone like the last run I did, which was also on Maya, and I beat OP10 in the end with the Bee and Hector's Paradise.
maybe being salvador coulda helped more with the challenge but bxtons build here was PERFECT and the gameplay was great but sal using 2 of the stinger pistols and the hives AND yellow jackets is awesome damage wise
Maybe it's possible to beat Borderlands 2 with bees.
But is it possible to BEEt Borderlands 2 with bees?
The Beekeeper Build 😂

I always wish I knew way more references, but it is pretty funny!
@@LookIntoGaming It's a Doctor Bees reference. You can still find the vids on UA-cam
2:43 Zer0 can slag with his kunai skill

Bees nuts
Alright, that made me laugh a bit. Old but gold reference.
Honey, that stings...
Take a shot every time they say Bee 😭😂
I'm more surprised you didn't use Maya for slagging enemies and grab a melee override relic for Scorn
I was considering Maya for this run, but I played as her on my only other OP10, and Axton is the only other viable VH that I felt comfortable playing.
The bee joke is only funny bc hes cheesing at it everyte the whole video

Zero has the best hornet skin ( same skin as hornet pistol) and has slag kunai
It’s not technically one but could have been a fun play on words for the Rubi
I could have done that, but I used that in my last OP10 run, and I wanted to see how I could do with just Axton's healing skills.
I joked about this bould for years
And lots of jokes eventually turn into reality in this game.
"slag isn´t necesary" in OP10? mmmm don´t know man
12:12 i could hear the voice in me head saying "put the stinky on'em"
I thought all the borderlands 2 runs had been done good job heheh well done sir

So, you like jazz ?
0:40 / 0:45 Ackchyually, those are wasps.

Did you count out The Hector’s Paradise on purpose? It’s basically the Hornet but shock
wanderlust wouldve been cool lmao shooting bees everywhere
I recommend watching LilGasMask's streams to see why that is a horrible idea. That appears to be the worst weapon in the game.
@LookIntoGaming oh no I completely know it would've been terrable. I watch him too lmao but the bee could've done a little something with it yk.
Zero can also slag with his kunai.
And that's a clear sign I haven't played as Zer0 in years. I'm still waiting for the perfect run to use him in.

Indeed he should

Why not the hectors paradise? It’s a clone hornet but shock damage with a blade
This run was mostly about bee-named items, but I did use Hector's Paradise in my only other OP 10 run, and it was great to use.
I feel like a corrosive build maya could have been great. Only a couple would be hard to kill
Corrosive is great for a majority of the game, until you come across a Bullyrot. I have no clue what you're supposed to do against them.
