Intro script
Borderlands 2 has been out for over 10 years but still has an active community thanks to challenge runs of the game, Allegiance runs, weapon restricted runs, a gunless run even, and whatever you call what gasmask does, but all of these challenge runs center around one thing, and it isn’t guns, it’s experience it's levels baby, the higher the level the stronger you are. Getting early game levels in BL2 is pretty common, with the DLC’s being the source of XP, now most people get to level 7 and some even to 10 and then stop, but I ask can I, and not should I? So this is how I hit the max level before killing the first boss. At least max level for normal mode
In Normal Mode the max level is 50, you can technically push it farther but XP gain decreases exponentially after hitting 50, so for this video max level is 50
The only rules for the run are No BAR and no returning to claptrap's place once I left until I was at level 50. This challenge was also done completely vanilla with no mods on. Also I didn’t do any read only farming for the run because I never got access to the stash anyways.
Bonus words if you want to read them.
This video is one of my favorites I've made because it's a super unique idea in challenge done in Borderlands 2 because so many challenges have been done in that game, and yet I've done something first pretty cool. Also 12 hours of editing a day for 4 days straight made me a husk of a man never doing that again

also if you don't like the method of doing DLC L go cry about it
It was good
5:25 I have the incendiary version of that smg, corporate plasma cutter, does 1.2k tho
The highest I ever got in normal mode was lol 45
For some reason, I took the challenge literally and thought you'd just keep killing the enemies before Knuckle Dragger over and over until you hit level 50
Yeah, i stopped watching once i saw it was just grinding dlc
@@kingpid5664 bro no one is goin to waste days of their life for this😭😭😭😭
@@kfchickeniscool people have grinded to 99 in the beginning areas of kingdom hearts 1 and 2 so....someone could
@@dalekin3177 Lol, I don't know if you know how the exp system works, but you most certainly could not get to level 50 by killing the first enemies over and over.
@@crayfishfuture You can but it'd take an inordinately long amount of time.
The funniest thing is that if you think about it, from the enemy's perspective when the actual game play started, You had a Skull next to your name the entire time.
canon Vault Hunters be like:
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was stuck on Knuckledragger for the longest time, but thanks to you I no longer am.
the easiest way without that level up is just staying inside the tunnel thing and shooting while inside
@RancorousSeais this a joke or are you serious
@@ShowerOnceYearlyits a joke.
@@ShowerOnceYearlyare you that dense?
Its obviously a joke@@ShowerOnceYearly
Good job!
Could you do a video on the best weapons and shields etc for axton in bl2 please?
Joltzdude is the best borderlands creator
@@prokiller_yteh, between him and k6 and darksmoke for me, I like all three of them, though joltz has a special place in my heart for getting me back into the series
real
The Good job Dude!
"You're messing with ball fondler" is not a statement i ever expected to hear
very nice to see the bl2 community is still grinding these HUGE accomplishments. Hats off to you sir
Agreed brother
Not a huge accomplishment in all fairness just playing the DLC and a little grinding, can be done in 1 session.
I mean, BL3 is so shit that people had to back to 2
I mean this isn't really a challenge. It's just playing the game normally except you skip the starting area by using the fast travel.
@@wills5482the only bad about bl3 is the main story
"I'll beat half of the game before facing the first boss."
love seeing how much influence joltzdude139 has in the community
him and Ki11erSix
@@DrQuagmire1not really k6, joltz has a greater following as well as more content that is eye catching and deemed a bit more entertaining keeping the borderlands community alive. Joltz has at least kept the bl2 community alive, where k6 might be keeping the bl3 community still there
The comment likes are 139. Let's keep it like that.
@@thegrubbysirAnd thats a good thing. With all the bl2 "fans" the trird game gets only the hate.
@@DrQuagmire1k6 has fallen off hard. He barely gets any views now
Dude this took so much work amazing job
Good man
This is some quality content, keep it up my dude.
Wow I really thought it would be a lot harder and grinder, you took a fantastic route. Obviously it still looked like a LOT of work to do, plus it was entertaining, so great job!
The true Canon power of Zer0 no wonder why Zer0 seeks a challenge
i like how in the end you were transparent on how much work the video took. i subscribed , hard work paid off. would like to see more of these if possible
I was worried this would be one of those calculate experience from the enemies pre Knuckle rather than actually do the dlcs in a more extreme way of the free levels
the thing is that reached a certain point one cannot receive experience if too overleveled
@@fulltimeslackerii8229 again, its impossible to reach level 50 with only the enemies before knuckledragger because in a certain level you stop to get experience, so its not bad the method he used here
In normal mode enemies level does not scale with the player, only in true vault hunter mode
@@fulltimeslackerii8229 no one has done it before him. So he proved that already.
@@nicolasvera1648 That's only in UVHM btw, not in TVHM
“Whatever the hell Gasmask does” is the perfect embodiment of that channel lmao
This was awesome! I don't know if anybody feel like I do but your humor fits so well with the theme of the game itself. It's was just an immense joy to watch, thank you!
This is one of the best borderlands videos ive seen and I watch wayyy too much stuff like this. Super creative idea and super good excecution.
couldn't agree more!
How is this so creative he's just playing the dlc before the campaign
This video is so good, I didn’t notice there wasn’t a ‘k’ next to the view count and thought it was super popular. Great job, definitely appreciate the hard work
Loved it ! Breath of fresh air seeing this style of content on this awesome game. Keep it up !
Ok, tbh i was expecting you to farm bullymongs for 1 exp for... quadrilion years, idk
How the hell do you not have more subscribers I’ve been following your channel for a bit now and this is probably the best video on your channel each one just keeps getting better and better keep up the great work man
This was a really cool video. I could see you becoming one of the greats right there alongside joltz dude
I know it’s tedious work and not many people realize that but if you stay consistent enough with it. I’d say release a video similar to this maybe once every 2 weeks if you have the time? People will come back and even more will show up. Including me :)
Edit: 200 likes? Damn. But hey, please continue to make innovative content like this man, the community really appreciates you 🙏 even if you don’t think so.
Would be even more work if he actually did level cap (max level with dlc) as that's level 80... The level cap at 50 is base game only no dlc owned
Yep gained a follow from me
Yes I agree
Great video, as someone who loves Borderlands but isn't very good at it (mid 50's with barely existent reflexes 🤣 ) I still love watching players who know the game inside out go to town on it. Thoroughly entertaining and easily worth a sub, I look forward to more from you 👍
you absolutely killed it, playing a game thats over 10 years old and getting over 300k views in under a week. youtube has been having a goated algorithm lately
the snowmen are debating best shotgun stock "hrrrmmm hyperion tho" "hrgmmmm but toruge"
Bro did literally all the side quests before fighting the first boss
I see a good future ahead of you. Instantly subbed.
thankful you actually still beat the game instead of ending the video at knuckledragger
How to beat knuckle drager
Step 1:get level 50
Man the editing and voice quality was so high and entertaining I was certain you had at least 100.000 subscribers
Man feels good finding "smaller" but insane new channels
when you're bored you stumble upon this gold
Dude i have watched tis video 10-12 times over the course of this month i swear this is the most entertaining video I’ve watched in a while!
This video has the record for fastest time to make me laugh. XD
Edit: Do You Stream on Twitch?
Nah but I might start soon though
@@alteredfried I think you would be good at it, you already sound like you have the outward dialogue down. Honestly I thought you were talking to chat a few times during this video XD
"Before Killing the First Boss of Borderlands 2?"
*Looks inside*
*Bosses killed*
*first boss* do you not know how to read?
You can hit 80 doing death race. Don't... but you could.
i will
I just did this challenge. I think I'm gonna try to get to 80 now, how hard could 30 lore levels be?
@@acid0428 Well if you're going to do death race just know the xp drops from 10k to 1k at some point. I think level 50 :)
@@miqueagul thanks for the warning! the bar quest also dropped, I think that's why the poster stopped at 50. it'll take a while but it can be done
Respect for keeping the clip of you hucking a grenade directly at your feet in the vid. Legendary.
You obviously did something right if i found this video on my home page 🎉 good job! 10/10
Same.
@@fulltimeslackerii8229
I meant it in an exciting way at the time I said it! As if it was a 1 to 1 input to the content creator 😊
But I defo see what you mean 😅
This video turned out pretty awesome, if you keep making constant like this, I’ll probably end up watching
I expected this to be a calculation of the max possible experience to get from the pre-KD route alone. I guess this works too.
This is the prep time Batman takes before his fight with any notable villain or hero
this video was really entertaining hope you make more content like this in the future
Dunno why exactly I was expecting this video to be about grinding for decades for bullymongs before the first boss.
I have amnesia
When I first saw the video I thought you were just going to be grinding the enemies before the first boss to hit 50 and I was very interested to see how long it took.
I can just imagine someone else doing all that, coming up to Knuckledragger and seeing the text 'This is gonna' hurt.'
*"That's a funny joke."*
Lot of people have already said it, but this was some great content! Your effort was worth it and I really enjoyed the video!
10:02 "This is gonna hurt" that line wasn't being directed at you
0:25 accidentally spelled "100" in Portuguese (kinda) hahahaha
the bl2 community finds out the strangest things and i'm all for it
amazing video
nice job, i am entertained & subscribed. never seen anyone do this in bl2 before & cool to see a player using the joltz cliff strategy on the digi skags & the dragons keep orc. appreciate the time you put into gameplay & editing grind for quality this high, hilarious & educational, pro-level borderlands content 🏆💯🎯
Great video man, alot of people dont understand how much work this is. Keep it up.
I feel like DLC bosses count as bosses
But they don't count as "the first boss"
@@montgomeryfitzpatrick473Technically, any boss you fight first is the “First” boss XD
I think he meant the first boss canonically
this entire video is basically the anime "the hero is overpowered but overly cautious"
I kinda understood the challenge as reaching lvl 50 before killing Your first boss, but You only meant reaching 50 before killing Knuckle Dragger... You killed a lot of bosses on the way there, though...
I love this clap trap gets his eye ripped out by a bully mog and you go on a training ark
This is like that anime about the overly cautious hero training for weeks before fighting a slime
actually a great showcase of how much stuff there is to do in this game, unreal
Hahaha the whole base game, and only 20% of level 51! That's what I wanted to know! Great vid man!
Just reinstalled BL2 and started fresh. Played Zer0 to TVHM on a normal playthrough and wanted a second Character. Never played with another besides Zer0. Had no motivation to train Salvador the normal way. Found your Video and now im havin so much fun. Its a nice challenge. Just killed piston at lvl 24 and now I need to get to lvl 25 and do the next step. Inventory space and lack of Ammo are quite challenging though because all my drops are abbysmal... my best weapon is a stiff injector pistol and a green vladof caustic sniper lol... Thank you for the video❤
you know what i like the idea man the video was good and it caught my eye when i was scrolling
Video was good man I’m glad it blew up!
This video was amazing ! Congrats on the success of the video
11:56
I love it when someone becomes the sharpest LEGO known to Pandora for the funny
This was awesomely fun to watch. Nice vid!
Great job man, love to see this type of content still
its not often i subscribe to a channel after seeing only one video, well done!
Came here looking for tech and got not only that, but sucked into the vid. Good work! :D
I like the fact you hit max level, did the entire main quest and never leveled again
This is the pinnical of doing all the sidequest before fighting the first boss memes
"Wow we reached max level now what do we do." "What do you mean now we can play the game."
"And whatever the hell you call what gasmask does" is the funniest shit ever to me
Me: *Watches thinking he'd just attack small enemies at the start to lvl up*
Also me: *Proceeds to leave once he mentions dlc*
Great video. Glad it was recommended to me by UA-cam. Keep up the great work!
Very creative challenge run ❤ hope to see more
Excellent jolts impressions, and a really good video in its own right
you're gonna blow up man I'm telling you
"I did some leveling off stream"
Leveling off stream:
Rumor has it the reason why knuckle dragger requires so much grinding is because he took lessons from soldier of god, rick.
The most impressive and engaging borderlands 2 thing I've ever seen, bravo dude!!
You know youve succeeded when joltzdude watched your video
Editing in all aspects was great. Huge W! 😁
Great video man keep it up, never doughty yourself
that was cool nice to see a content creator still making bl2 content
"I'll be back" ahh journey 😆
he did some mining off camera
This is a great video man! Your hard work seems to have paid off! :)
This was awesome lol more please xD
great video well worth all the editing you did to make it :)
Absolutely great vid bro, bl2 always been my favorite game love seeing you play
2 days and this has blown past any of your other videos. Very nice.
I read the Title and was like "How is that possible, there are just a few Bullymongs before him". Completly forgetting all the Dlcs
this is one of the most impressive borderlands 2 video ever
Great video
It's easy to tell that a lot of hard work and passion went into it
and for this, you’ve earned a sub
Awesome video for BL2 my guy 😌
My man is alone but vibing so comfy, makes me feel comfy too
He put in more effort than he needed to to effortlessly beat the game.
Dude pulled a Heavy DS1 & DS2 moment by making enemys use attacks that make them fly off the map, cant believe iv never tried this
didnt even realize that this video was 13 minutes it was so enjoyable.
