How many of these did you know about? If you know any other cool fact about Borderlands 2, be sure to comment about them so we can maybe show them off in a future video
In Lilgasmask666's video called "Can you beat BL2 as Terramorphus" at time Stamp 18:27 handsome Jack's double is welding an old time looking double barreled shotgun, for some reason.
The Dukino one can make sense. Since he's pretty much the only docile rabid skag you encounter, it only makes sense that Tannis would use him as the model for digistruct rabid skags
The amount of stuff that is reused in borderlands is amazing. The programmers were so creative with ways to reduce the amount of entities needed, and things like that make the game truly incredible.
In Bloodshot Ramparts, I was once knocked off the top of the dam and landed on a ledge with a red chest. No way OFF the ledge, mind you. I guess the red chest was the game's way of saying, "sorry, dude."
Joltzdude, I don't know if you'll even see this, but I leave for basic training for the army tomorrow morning. I have been watching your videos within the hour of them getting uploaded and have loved your content for years. You have been my hero, my guide to borderlands, and my favorite content creator. I'll see you in 10 weeks when I finish basic training!
I have a theory on the jasper one, maybe the reason those strange collision boxes show up is because he has special shoulder cannons that are special to him but gearbox just didn't expect players to come back to him when your super omega op and one shot him
Not sure how to explain it, but when you're doing the mission Hunting the Firehawk and you finish up killing all the enemies at the end and return the mission to Lilith (we all know it), then there's the part where Lilith wants to teleport you to the Bloodshot Stronghold. Like Joltz, I also like to jump off of the rope with perfect timing, so that I will be teleported before I die, but one time I mistimed it and died - but somehow the teleport triggered and I got respawned (reconstruct animation) on the spot where Lilith teleports you (instead of respawning on the respawn point normally). So yeah, that is indeed possible; even after seeing I believe all Joltz's playthroughs, I think I've never seen this happen to Joltz.
We all know it now but yeah. Davlin helps you out at first until it is revealed he is the Handsome Sorcerer in disguise. When looking very close you see him wearing the Handsome Jack class mod. 🤯🤯🤯
When on the Talon of God mission where you get blues from different NPCs, tipping Moxxi enough to get the good/bad touch before talking to her gives you extra blue SMGs (easily testable with a level 30 boosted character)
Every one of your videos, I discover something new, ive watched your videos and played bl2 for years now and im still learning. I think you are the person that knows the most about bl2.
Petition for an Ultimate Zer0 playthrough soon- the last time I found that Joltz did a non-challenge run Zer0 was 6 years ago. Since then we’ve had pistol zero, jakobs zero, sniper zer0, melee zer0, maliwan zero, and even a couple modded zeros- but no Ultimate.
1:23 My first time playing uvhm, i hit that timer while fighting a SINGLE SCAVENGER in Flynt's arena. I died over and over, Flynt respawned, and I gave up.
I just found out by playing Borderlands 2 that you can complete "Bad Hair Day" with the bandit technical. The sawblades count as melee damage. It's easier this way in UVHM.
You probably didn’t know you can get so far out of bounds in the Southern Raceway that you cannot be seen on the minimap and are over 1-2 km from the boundaries of the map…with mods you could call a car out there and roll around massive areas
I think the reason pete respawns when other raid bosses don't is because he's a story boss, you fight a non raid boss variant of him first. The game probably then changes him to the raid boss variant when you do the quest for it. The devs may have used existing code from an enemy that upgrades itself like a goliath to do this and part of that may have given him a respawn time
There's a thing similar to the Dokino one in Borderlands 3. If you do the first two homestead missions in Splinterlands and then go to Trashlantis, you'll note that The Mayor has that yellow exclamation point. It's also basegame mark instead of the DLC-mark, which is surrounded by a diamond.
I wonder if the ‘use’ feature on the loudspeakers in Lynchwood means maybe there’s a special status or feature they gave to objects that are meant to play sound (as they periodically play voice lines from the Sheriff or Deputy), just as with certain other objects in the game (such as the radio in Sanctuary that sometimes plays manufacturer ads) so that the sound will only come from that object, and doing so also happened to make them all interact-able (because things like the radio you can ‘use’ to turn them off).
I learned that my son is now 14yrs old and he was born 1 month before borderlands released and i got to know you. After all these crazy years you still make borderlands videos 😮
How about the floating checkered platform underneath Roland’s jail cell in Bloodshot Stronghold? I know there’s a wall you can just walkthrough and fall onto the floating platform.
on fact 2, not just raid bosses but normal bosses too!, was in a co-op game back in 2022 with a friend and we would go from uranus, run to different areas to farm and fight other bosses! every 30ish mins they would come back so we never had to really save quit and we got to farm a ton of things in a row.
Did you know that the gravestones at Boot Hill, where you fight Mobley and Gettle, are randomized on load? they are different shapes and sizes and are in different combinations every time you load into the map. Noticed this while farming Lyuda. Edit: I also recall seeing a video claim that you can B0re them though I have not tried that myself.
You can get into permenent buzzaxe mode, if you kill a enemy with a axe that is thrown before you get into fight for your life. If you kill him after you get into fight for your life, then you shouldget back up and be running with your axe. If you get knocked down or save quit, you will have your guns again. (I cant remember if you lose the effekt if you go into your inventory it is a long time ago i did this glich) Dunno if you have made a video on this.
I'm sure everyone knows this, but in the caustic caverns if you go to where you do tanis's eridium side mission, over there by the crusher, if you stand there and open your echo, you can the the spawn box
Thanks for making videos, this week has been rough but I've been delving into the really old Playlist and it has been so helpful for my mental health. Tha ks for doing what you do ❤
the mimics in the dragon raid boss area if u have one of them spawned and then leave the map, they go to lvl 1 like a loot midget if u leave and come back
Here is a cool fact: After leaving the fridge and going to sanctuary when it teleports, you can go across the bridge by going to the highlands and entering on the other side where you would normally exit after fighting the thresher. :)
5:15 I literally just figured that out today running a krieg game when I hit a barrel with the buzz axe and killed a dude and got full HP I was like "huh, interesting"
@joltz if you end your nvhm/tvhm or whatever mode in Oasis, save quit and then switch to the next possible mode, you will spawn in Oasis and can travel to claptrap’s place. He will then be not in the first map anymore, just after you killed knuckledrager and leave the aera to the next. Might be a small gamechanger for speedrunning bl2
Omg it’s back, i literally started watching your channel because of this series. My comment is the boards in the tiny Tina campaign are similar to plank from ed Edd and eddy.
I am very shocked that after all this time, and from watching joltz a bunch, I only knew the foreman one and the rune puzzle one- dope to learn new stuff
Lol I accidentally figured out that in the Clan War mission where you blow up the race cars, you can destroy them before they come to you, even though they show a green symbol as if they’re friendly
I have been binge watching all of your BL 1 run vids and am having a blast, literally as right now I'm on your launchers only Brick, and have heard you mention the Redemption several times throughout it so far, on episode 6 btw, I went into Knoxx's armory and the second red chest i opened was a deep orange Redemption X'D
The only one I knew was the last one and that was due to the fact that you showed it off in an earlier playthrough. I don't remember which playthrough it was, but I remember you showing it off.
The sky rocket works on assassin reeth's side objective of killing him with melee damage. It seems like they made the sky rocket do melee damage so then it "scales by character level."
Idk if you’ve seen this yet but in one of the torgue DLC maps thats like a junkyard (dont remember the map name off the top of my head) theres a small gap in the ground between some rocks and if you fall through it right and drop down through the world you can land on this tiny little section of floating land just way down in the abyss
I discovered a glitch where you can turn in Tiny Tina's party prep mission infinitely. You need to start party prep but not complete it, then go and do all of Lillith's missions in the tundra express and turn them in to Tina. When you complete party prep and to turn it in, it won't clear. I use the community patch by the way.
when you fight the warrior in the story mission you can do the moonshot farm without having read only on if you save quit upon the warrior dying you also get the xp from the kill but you can still moonshot upon reloading
I had a thing happen in tina dlc once where i was climbing up the area where you do the loot ninja mission (i dont remember the name of the map), and i was able to open the same gun chest twice.
"if you know some of these you can drop a dislike" I knew most of these, im still leaving like regardless 👍 great video! Keep up the amazing work Joltz!
One thing I have never seen anyone talk about, during buzz axe rampage you can drop Krieg's Axe and pick it back up outside of the rampage. Who said Borderlands didn't have melee weapons!?
I'm half surprised that people don't know about that Krieg trick. It seems really obvious. But, again, only half surprised, because no one plays Krieg.
Thought I won't see anything new as I'm watching you all the time and already had a sweet comment prepared and... got 1.5/10 😂 PS 1.5 because I actually noticed that dialogue continues when you place just two letters, but my ADHD wouldn't ever let me risk leaving two empty spaces there to test if I'm required to place the rest 😅
How many of these did you know about?
If you know any other cool fact about Borderlands 2, be sure to comment about them so we can maybe show them off in a future video
Only knew the Kreig one
In Lilgasmask666's video called "Can you beat BL2 as Terramorphus" at time Stamp 18:27 handsome Jack's double is welding an old time looking double barreled shotgun, for some reason.
none ty for giving me more knowledge
Looks more like an MJ to me 2:05
I would love this series in every Borderlands game even if some people aren’t a fan of them details like this are always interesting
Joltz probably knows more about Borderlands 2 than some who work at Gearbox.
Joltz probably knows ❎
Joltz knows ✅
I feel like most current gearbox employees didn't even work on bl2, I could be wrong though
Plot twist : Joltz is the real ceo of Gearbox
Honestly, yeah
Agree
The Dukino one can make sense. Since he's pretty much the only docile rabid skag you encounter, it only makes sense that Tannis would use him as the model for digistruct rabid skags
Damn, don't know if that is stunning attention to detail or an accident.
@ItsMoorbinTime as much as id wish it was detail, it definitely was not lol. games use to reuse assets all the time and borderlands does it alot
take your pills youre schitzing doesmt even make sense anyway why would tannis do that or even know
The amount of stuff that is reused in borderlands is amazing. The programmers were so creative with ways to reduce the amount of entities needed, and things like that make the game truly incredible.

Morgan
almost back!!!
Yooooo! I just got out of Basic and AIT two days ago! I bought a switch when I entered phase V and started getting back into borderlands on slow days.
How'd basic go man? Did ya make it? :D
Me: Wheres my family?
Joltz : Level up dude.
I have a theory on the jasper one, maybe the reason those strange collision boxes show up is because he has special shoulder cannons that are special to him but gearbox just didn't expect players to come back to him when your super omega op and one shot him
If anyone who knows gearbox jank or whatever engine bl2 is on, please correct me
I'm so glad this community is still going after a decade, im glad I got into it this year
Welcome brother, it’s an awesome community
I like how you can view terramorphous from where you kill the bunker. He looks so cute lol
Not sure how to explain it, but when you're doing the mission Hunting the Firehawk and you finish up killing all the enemies at the end and return the mission to Lilith (we all know it), then there's the part where Lilith wants to teleport you to the Bloodshot Stronghold.

So yeah, that is indeed possible; even after seeing I believe all Joltz's playthroughs, I think I've never seen this happen to Joltz.
Man, I never ever would have found any of these. Thanks for keeping the series going!
We all know it now but yeah. Davlin helps you out at first until it is revealed he is the Handsome Sorcerer in disguise. When looking very close you see him wearing the Handsome Jack class mod. 🤯🤯🤯
When on the Talon of God mission where you get blues from different NPCs, tipping Moxxi enough to get the good/bad touch before talking to her gives you extra blue SMGs (easily testable with a level 30 boosted character)
you know when Joltz makes a video like this about BL2, you absolutely will not know these things
except the Kreig one
Every one of your videos, I discover something new, ive watched your videos and played bl2 for years now and im still learning. I think you are the person that knows the most about bl2.

Skill issue

I wonder if the ‘use’ feature on the loudspeakers in Lynchwood means maybe there’s a special status or feature they gave to objects that are meant to play sound (as they periodically play voice lines from the Sheriff or Deputy), just as with certain other objects in the game (such as the radio in Sanctuary that sometimes plays manufacturer ads) so that the sound will only come from that object, and doing so also happened to make them all interact-able (because things like the radio you can ‘use’ to turn them off).
6:24 It would be nice if you could then give Wizard Claptrap back the dwarven rune that you stole from him.
Fallout Players: Who was the one to set off the nukes?
us: 0:05 It was Joltz.
I learned that my son is now 14yrs old and he was born 1 month before borderlands released and i got to know you. After all these crazy years you still make borderlands videos 😮
How about the floating checkered platform underneath Roland’s jail cell in Bloodshot Stronghold? I know there’s a wall you can just walkthrough and fall onto the floating platform.
Foreman Jasper got so thoroughly destroyed the only thing left was the code of the game 😭😭😭
on fact 2, not just raid bosses but normal bosses too!, was in a co-op game back in 2022 with a friend and we would go from uranus, run to different areas to farm and fight other bosses! every 30ish mins they would come back so we never had to really save quit and we got to farm a ton of things in a row.
Did you guys know it's been 7 days and joltz hasn't posted another video yet about blands 2? It's been 12 years but I bet you no one knew about that
Fun fact: Joltz likes Borderlands 2.
Did you know that the gravestones at Boot Hill, where you fight Mobley and Gettle, are randomized on load? they are different shapes and sizes and are in different combinations every time you load into the map. Noticed this while farming Lyuda.
Edit: I also recall seeing a video claim that you can B0re them though I have not tried that myself.

Thank you joltz for being my borderlands teacher❤😂
By the looks of it new stuff is gonna be discovered even 20 years after the games release
Can we put the unused speakers for instance to use of any kind? Give them Steve's AYOOOO as a little Easter Egg my dear modders ^^
Uranus also respawns after sitting in his arena for long enough
I learned something new about Borderlands 2 today... thank you
"WHY?? I don't know" never gets old
This is why we watch Joltz..
Has he covered the Rainbow Cube behind Sanctuary Hole, out of the map behind some rocks.
These videos are so nostalgic, making me think back to learning about infinite vertical melee for the first time
Jolts should make a 10 skips you didn’t know video
Joltz I miss you dude
i still dont see whats the electrified thing around jack
same
Same
FOUND IT!
1:05 look at his shoulder and upper back.
Saw it now but its so difficult to notice
5:45 if you're in danger, just throw sky rocket grenade. Yeah surely that will help
Thanks for making videos, this week has been rough but I've been delving into the really old Playlist and it has been so helpful for my mental health. Tha ks for doing what you do ❤
Also the body doubles don't use the arm blasters
the mimics in the dragon raid boss area if u have one of them spawned and then leave the map, they go to lvl 1 like a loot midget if u leave and come back
Here is a cool fact: After leaving the fridge and going to sanctuary when it teleports, you can go across the bridge by going to the highlands and entering on the other side where you would normally exit after fighting the thresher. :)
5:15 I literally just figured that out today running a krieg game when I hit a barrel with the buzz axe and killed a dude and got full HP I was like "huh, interesting"
It's "wild" indeed to be able to make a video like this with new stuff so much after the game release
@joltz if you end your nvhm/tvhm or whatever mode in Oasis, save quit and then switch to the next possible mode, you will spawn in Oasis and can travel to claptrap’s place. He will then be not in the first map anymore, just after you killed knuckledrager and leave the aera to the next. Might be a small gamechanger for speedrunning bl2

Lol I accidentally figured out that in the Clan War mission where you blow up the race cars, you can destroy them before they come to you, even though they show a green symbol as if they’re friendly
It’s amazing that a game like Borderlands 2 still has things that can be discovered in it
It never fails. I knew literally none of these. Great video as always.
Thats incredible that you still creating vids about b2 and people still watching it
I have been binge watching all of your BL 1 run vids and am having a blast, literally as right now I'm on your launchers only Brick, and have heard you mention the Redemption several times throughout it so far, on episode 6 btw, I went into Knoxx's armory and the second red chest i opened was a deep orange Redemption X'D
How can you still manage to get these is beyond comprehension. It's awesome
You can use the manly man shield as a rocket jumper because it grants immunity to explosive
Does the perma-slag work on Motor Momma too?
Joltz, you should do a modern video talking about the beta/leaked versions of the Borderlands games and what we got in the finale product
If you hold pick up on one of Tina’s damsels in the mission “A Train To Catch” the other one will still be there, just invisible
The pacing in this video was really well done! 😁
The only one I knew was the last one and that was due to the fact that you showed it off in an earlier playthrough. I don't remember which playthrough it was, but I remember you showing it off.
Lynchwood Symbols, I do like the idea of telling someone there's 7, 5 unavailable
Lol you put this video out during my yearly borderlands binge
The only thing I knew was the respawning Pete due to spending 20 min looking through gear. Was a bit confused and scared when it happened 😂
When doing the tubby farm the 2 new pandoran enemies outside mt scarab will always spawn with the thre dog shotgun
That explains why I get mauled sometimes lol.
5:40 "You have buzzaxe rampage at level 6" hmmm interesting did the level get updated from 5 to 6
Mods.
The sky rocket works on assassin reeth's side objective of killing him with melee damage. It seems like they made the sky rocket do melee damage so then it "scales by character level."
The kill with melee box gets checked off no matter how you kill reeth 😉
Idk if you’ve seen this yet but in one of the torgue DLC maps thats like a junkyard (dont remember the map name off the top of my head) theres a small gap in the ground between some rocks and if you fall through it right and drop down through the world you can land on this tiny little section of floating land just way down in the abyss
Still learning new things , can't wait for people to discover even more new things in a year or two and amaze me once again lol
5:08 “we have release the beast at home”
Damn, 10/10 facts unknown to me. Also 10/10 video 😁
I discovered a glitch where you can turn in Tiny Tina's party prep mission infinitely. You need to start party prep but not complete it, then go and do all of Lillith's missions in the tundra express and turn them in to Tina. When you complete party prep and to turn it in, it won't clear. I use the community patch by the way.
I think the 20 minutes respawn also works for Wilhelm 1:16 he respawed for me once dont know if its the same thing tho
something that I just recently learned is that there is actually a second fast travel station in a hut on the tundra express map
I may be wrong, but I believe number 2 (pyro Pete respawning) was used in one of the videos in the 3 facts you didn’t know series several years ago!
A video showing all, or the most useful and interesting gunzerker glitches would be awesome
when you fight the warrior in the story mission you can do the moonshot farm without having read only on if you save quit upon the warrior dying you also get the xp from the kill but you can still moonshot upon reloading
Man I'm glad people still play this cos I still do, even if it is on switch
I have one.
When a Hyperion soldier deploys a turret. If you look closely, the “capsule” is actually a singularity Grenade.
I had a thing happen in tina dlc once where i was climbing up the area where you do the loot ninja mission (i dont remember the name of the map), and i was able to open the same gun chest twice.
you can get into MALs enclosure with the car by first driving out of bounds and then getting elevator bugged up. You can make him leave his area!
In eridium blight*
you can also have him fight bullymongs when out of bounds
I named my dog Dukino. His real life story is similar to the game. Thanks for the video.
Joltz could beat God in a BL2 trivia game
When you enter a duel in sanctuary, Johnny waffles health bar goes red, maybe a soy
"if you know some of these you can drop a dislike"
I knew most of these, im still leaving like regardless 👍 great video! Keep up the amazing work Joltz!
One thing I have never seen anyone talk about, during buzz axe rampage you can drop Krieg's Axe and pick it back up outside of the rampage. Who said Borderlands didn't have melee weapons!?
I'm half surprised that people don't know about that Krieg trick. It seems really obvious.
But, again, only half surprised, because no one plays Krieg.
How on earth there are still things to discover about BL2? I just cant belive it. Great job to you and to all the people who still support BL2!
6:18 Thats actually how I did it in my first playthrough lol
Liked the video before I watched it because I knew I'd learn at least one new thing
Thought I won't see anything new as I'm watching you all the time and already had a sweet comment prepared and...
got 1.5/10 😂
PS 1.5 because I actually noticed that dialogue continues when you place just two letters, but my ADHD wouldn't ever let me risk leaving two empty spaces there to test if I'm required to place the rest 😅
completely ironic when the guy named py(ro)rex found a glitch from pyro petes
Heck yea man, another facts video. There's always sauce in these videos.
