Algorithm stuffy stuff:
It is October which means that Halloween is upon us. Borderlands has content across the games about the Bloody Harvest, and I decided to play Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Why? Well, it’s for the Jack-O-Cannon, which is a unique Torgue shotgun that fires pumpkins, and I answer the question of “Can you beat Borderlands The Pre Sequel with only the Jack-O-Cannon”? The rules are simple for this run. No BAR and only pumpkins. I used Jack for this because come on Jack O Cannon? I have a basic shield, a class mod for some extra reload speed, and an oz kit that can’t let me spam slams. This is the build that I got, and let’s just say that Jack was great for this run.
My journey began in Helios, and I made my way to Jack, and wow this thing is 2 shotting these guys pfft this run will be easy. Anyways, I found Jack and then protected Jack. We make our way to escape, and never mind. We make our way to the moonshot cannon and… oh right the first boss. My damage wasn’t the best and when I didn’t have my Jacks then I was getting downed rapidly. After a little mistake, Flameknuckle was no more. We continue to make our way to the Moonshot, and never mind its broken or something, so I get sent to the moon and meet Janey Springs. I went to get the oz kit and proceeded to be bullied trying to get in, but I eventually succeeded. Then, it’s time to get to Deadlift. I got down on my way and I didn’t have my other cannon reloaded. Could’ve sneezed on the Scav and I would be good.
I finally got to Deadlift, and this is where the challenge begins. I didn’t have much for the beefy shield, and I kept getting camped. The first death was shocking (I’m sorry). The second was an electric ball and myself. Which is worse? Borderlands 3 splash? Or Pre-Sequel splash? Hint: one of them doesn’t have the cannon. The third one was puzzling for me, as you can see, I’m quite bewildered. I wasn’t looking at my mini map, so I wasn’t sure where the people throwing rocks at me were. I got myself in a good spot to deal damage, wasn’t doing too bad of damage, and oh no I’ve got myself in a predicament here. So, this is the fourth. But there won’t be a fifth because I had a plan this time. I used these stairs to my advantage. This plan was full proof, and I couldn’t get shocked, unless I got jump scared. After enough Jacks and pumpkins, I finally did it.
I picked up the digistruct key and drove to get the Orbatron from Springs. I had to do one of the hardest parts of this game, getting over this jump, which I didn’t succeed. Accidently hit a pebble and failed again but got it on my third try. Got the Orbatron, then I headed to Concordia, which is Sanctuary in space. I got a ticket, then the claptrap vanished. Actually, the claptrap teleported far outside of the map, don’t know why, but I got the ticket. Anyways, gave the claptrap the Orbatron, then met the Russian doctor and got decontaminated. I entered Concordia to meet the Meriff, but the lift didn’t work. Went to the bar to see Moxxi, then did the bank and stash tutorial. Traded the moonstones for transmitters, then did an oopsy. Attached the transmitters and made my way to Crisis Sca… never mind, the town is on lockdown. So, Moxxi shows me her secret entrance, yes that’s how the game describes it.

My toxic trait is thinking I could take a shot from the Jacko Cannon and just a grit it like Axton 😂
I wish because that's my all my health for one
I knew you would be here
Now I really want to see you try this challenge.
I've been begging Lilgasmask666 to do this challenge and you've done his work for him. Thank you! I can't wait to see more from you.
When I play pre-sequel, it becomes "can you beat tps without the jack o cannon?" The answer is usually no.
Can't have a run without some Jack
these crashes are usually caused due to framerates over 120, they stop with DXVK which makes the game run on vulkan rather than DX9.
Hope this helps
Will be running at 119 fps now
Man, I love the pre sequel.
I like how you chose the worst accessory for Jack-o'-Cannon for what little extra challenge it'd give you.
Regarding Aurelia and Torgue, Aurelia has confusingly great synergy with Torgue weapons. Her Huntress skill tree removes almost all of Torgue's downsides while making crits incredibly satisfying with the amount damage you'll deal. Then you just progress down to Quality Not Quantity in her Contractual Aristocracy tree, then dump the remaining skill points into Cold Money skill tree. I know this because I made a Torgue allegiance Aurelia two years ago and was surprised by how good and fun it was. I even named the save 'Mistake' because I thought it wasn't going to be that good. Boy was i wrong!
Interesting...
I liked the pre-sequel.
cool video/challenge _!_
Not enough Jack in the video, still good though
I do like a good Jacking
