  • If you're a gamer, you've heard of Borderlands 2. But if you're a LAME GAMER, like ME, then you only played Call of Duty and FIFA your whole life, and missed playing Borderlands when it came out. Well, we're missing out no longer, because one of the reasons for me creating this channel is to go back and play all the games I missed. We've done Magicka, Deep Rock Galactic, and now it's time for me to dip my toes into this cell-shaded masterpiece. Let me know what other games you want me to try.

    Some answers to your questions:
    The exploration comes in after you get to sanctuary, which is the main hub city of the game.
    You should definitely do side missions, some of them have amazing rewards or unlock mini bosses that drop cool rewards
    In terms of difficulty, there is no slider for it but instead when you beat the game you unlock True Vault hunter mode, where you replay the story and after that Ultimate vault hunter mode. Each one is harder than the last and you keep leveling up through all of them to fill out your skill trees
    Also you should absolutely buy all the dlcs for this game, they are definitely worth it and make the game a lot more enjoyable

      The 3 playthroughs are called Normal Vault Hunter Mode (NVHM), True Vault Hunter Mode (TVHM) and Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM). NVHM enemies and loot scale with the story until lvl 30, TVHM enemies and loot scale with the story until lvl 50, and UVHM loot and enemies scale with and above player level until level cap, so generally you don't want to finish a playthrough at a higher level than the loot scales for the risk of being under levelled.
      Also 1000000% get the DLC for some more phenomenal story content and maps, more loot, higher tier loot past legendary, and great bosses.
      Slag is okay in NVHM and TVHM for the 2x damage for non slag weapons, but becomes very important (not crucial) in UVHM because of increased weapon swap speed and 3x damage for non slag weapons.

    Weapon manufacturers are actually important!
    Jacob's is Western style, high damage, critical hit bonus, and single fire only.
    Dahl is military style, full auto or semi on the hip, burst fire while ads
    Maliwan is purely elemental weapons, high % infliction chance and dot damage
    Hyperion gets more accurate the longer you fire
    Vladof has allot of fire rate, low everything else
    Tourge is purely explosive projectiles that don't hurt you, high damage
    Tediores reloads are you throwing your gun and it explodes, their alright stats wise
    Bandit has high ammo capacity, bad everything else
    Im not a pro but i do play these borderlands way more then i should. Ask any question you want and I'll answer
    Edit: do explore after you get to sanctuary, that's where the game starts opening up
    Edit 2: don't worry about going into fight for your life so much, it's a core part of the game.

    The guy who says “I’m the conductor of the poop train” is actually a DLC character you can play as.
    Also, when you can’t activate a lever, switch, or button it’s because there’s usually a mission you have to do that’ll eventually lead up to the lever, switch, or button that’ll let you activate it, which I’m sure you probably found that out.
    Also for enemies, there are regular mob enemies and (unique enemies that can drop unique gear/weapons). The unique enemies will usually have a crazy or stupid name.

      Sal is broken. Zero is strong but dies quickly. Gaige is broken early on and with the right weapons, generally broken. Soldier is good, but needs a bit more than most characters to work especially well solo, but has utility. Krieg is broken in his own way. Maya is not broken but she has some of the best CC, utility, and support.
      Every vault hunter has late-game viable builds, but I honestly think that Sal is the only character that is truly broken.

      Maya can also insta-kill the raid boss from the Commander Lilith dlc by going down on the spot it spawns with the Recompense skill, but that doesn't make her OP by any measure. It makes her situationally useful.
      Krieg can bloodsplode Pyro Pete the invincible but other than that bloodsplosion is mostly useful for mobbing.
      There's probably a lot more instakills, and although Salvador doesn't have a ton of instant kills other than like world burn + pimpernel, he's pretty damn fast at killing pretty much any boss. Other characters are situationally broken. Sal is fundamentally deeply and thoroughly broken.

    Honestly really nice to see new people enjoying this game, it's truly a classic.

    couple things for helping the general experience, understanding what bl2 is:
    Certain side quests are super impactful, depending on the quest reward or the mini-boss it potentially spawns.
    Exploring generally isnt bad, but not super rewarding always. normally its find a chest, see if its close to a spawn point and farm it.
    Save/quitting is your best friend. it cuts on travel time by taki g you to the last fast travel you used, or area door you entered. it also respawns anything killed, including bosses, which you'll be re-killing a lot to farm the best items

    the main reason for those side quests is to be able to refarm the boss at the end i.e. midgemong drops a legendary and the only way for it to drop is if you either get it during the first time killing him or just farming him

    Some info for you
    1) Farming bosses are not really optimal for early game
    2) earlier side quests dont really give good loot however some can give great loot
    3)if you go to a weapon in the menu you can zoom into it to take a better look at it and spin it around idk how to do it in pc however it should tell at the bottom
    4) Always check out the deal of the day it can have some good stuff
    5) there is no fall damage at all however some places you can fall and die as its not part of the map
    6) some skills can have kill buffs and unique skills however for the unique skills there a farther down the skill tree
    7) if there is a skull by a enemy's name that means it far higher level and is therfore much more dangerous
    Edit: keep up the amazing videos and i look forward to seeing more

    The skill trees do offer unique abilities! They're just usually available in the middle and end parts of the tree because they're pretty strong. Each tree caters to a specific play style and when you finish one tree you pick what other tree compliments yours the best.

    I’d highly recommend sticking with this game. BL2 is genuinely such a good game in all facets. It has to be one of the most replayable games oat. Not just because of the perks, but the weapons, the weapon parts, the side quests, the dlc. Everything about this game is also just top tier. I’d also recommend joltzdude for just general knowledge and learning weapon parts and all that. He explains almost everything as he’s doing it

    I was bored out of my mind playing this and quit after 17.8 hours (that's like two-three sessions for me). It's fun to hear someone be so stoked about the game. You know what they say about having kids.. they give you a new perspective on life with their unspoiled glee and enthusiasm. I'm starting to thing there is something to that :)

Also little tip, there is infinite vertical melee range so if you are directly below something 100 ft above you you can still hit it!

  • @paulmalacarne8040
    @paulmalacarne8040 Před 23 dny

    I saw a few other comments like what I'm about to say but it is genuinely so nice to see a new borderlands players just to enjoy how refreshing the game can be to others. the variety of weapons and farmable boss in this game makes it so addicting, such a fun game to play co-op with friends has so many fun side missions. the experiences in this game are limitless with skill trees and different "vault hunters" to play as. iv been playing the borderlands series since the get go. Borderlands 2 defiantly has the best story. the preseqenual is also very enjoyable to new players, but the game lore from the 2nd game is like not other. also the commentary is awesome you just gained a new sub and fan will be checking out all the videos. ID LOVE A FULL SERIES OF THIS GAME. seem like you enjoy playing it just as i enjoy watching you play.

  • @T3RB3R9
    @T3RB3R9 Před 25 dny

    I didn't even know you could still buy this game without the DLC included. some of the best expansions in any game, for sure worth it. the cosmetics are whatever but all the extra missions, maps, enemies, and weapons are huge. the two DLC characters are just as fun and unique as the original four. each character's gameplay has a very different feel as you level up more.

  • @dasfirecat
    @dasfirecat Před 28 dny

    About 8/10 times a sidequest boss has special, specific loot that you might need to kill them a few times to get, but can be really high tier. Bosses with intros and even midgemong!

  • @CaseInTea
    @CaseInTea Před měsícem

    as far as difficulty: its one size fits all basically. if youre underleveled compared to enemies you do reduced damage and they have more health, vice versa. after beating the game, you unlock true vault hunter mode (tvhm) and ultimate vault hunter mode (uvhm) which are just harder, new game+ replays. You keep all your gear in your inventory

    • @CaseInTea
      @CaseInTea Před měsícem

      also, base game (normal vault hunter mode) caps out at level 30, tvhm level 50. so if you really want it to be harder just stay like on level/underleveled compared to the main quest and just find better gear/do side quests to keep up

  • @akivanugent0
    @akivanugent0 Před měsícem +6

    I got borderlands 2 on its release date/ my 12th birthday and must have beaten it a hundred times by now.
    its feels weird seeing someone play the game as intended and not do all the little speedrun things like the grenade-jump skips or fighting Flint on the ground instead of running up to his perch before he spawns
    good video :)

  • @shinaisunset1829
    @shinaisunset1829 Před měsícem

    There is hidden chests and stuff. Like for example when you were doing "Shielded Favors", you missed a chest. if you climbed the side of the building (the sloped metal part) and jump onto the crane thing, turn around and jump over the roof onto the metal mesh thing that sits above the porch, then turn around again, there is a chest and a vault symbol (Challenge Thing).
    Edit: Also I noticed that you weren't using your skill points. For different characters there are different trees that excel at different things. Also Krieg the Psycho (one of the playable dlc characters) was the one yelling about a poop train. For Zero the Assassin, its mainly broken down into Critical Damage (Green tree), Elemental procs and conditional damage (blue tree), and a dedicated melee tree (red tree). You can use the customization station (you can find one with your map, there is one in sanctuary though.) to reset your skills and refund your points for in game cash (it'll cost more at higher levels though.)

    Man, after 1000-ish hours of this game, seeing a first timer play is exhilirating! Keep it up bro.
    Zer0 is a brave choice, interested to see how you build him.
    Also, in terms of difficulty, each new playthrough you do with a character makes the game harder, Normal mode for the first playthrough
    True Vault Hunter for the Second
    Ultimate Vault Hunter for the third (which is near impossible without using optimized builds, or Slag elemental type.
    And then UVHM (ultimate) has 8 Overpower levels, which makes the game much, much harder.

  • @dth99times
    @dth99times Před měsícem +1

    There are so many little quirks and mechanics that take a long time to learn.
    I'll recommend you to keep an eye out for weapons called "hulk" shotgun, "ravager" shotgun, "Snider" sniper, "Diaub" sniper, "iron" pistol, "spitter" assault rifle, "synergy" pistol, and "gatling gun" assault rifle. These are some of the better non-unique weapons, but obviously there are tons that I didn't mention and experimentation is always a good thing. Depending on parts and rarity, there's still a variety of different versions of these weapons. This is not even an exhaustive list of generally good non-uniques, these are just some of my personal favorites.

  • @CaseInTea
    @CaseInTea Před měsícem

    the skills add up, if you max out a perk you can get like +60% gun damage for example, +200% crit damage, etc. your character has like a designated melee tree if you just want to smack enemies left and right
