My advice to new players - don't skip the side missions. You're going to have a much easier time as the game progresses if you use the side missions to get experience and to build your character's strength and you won't be giving up on the game at level 20 because you can't go 2 feet without getting murdered.

In my experience, you need a fair balance. I would definitely not recommend doing all side quests, but doing a few here and there is quite nice. Also, might just increase replayability if you do different side quests in different runs

Facts! A lot of dart pistols are considered bad, but me personally I love them and you can actually get a very powerful meta changing one if you get the right rolls and use the right items. I also love some of the unique blue weapons that a lot of the player base doesn't consider.

I genuinely do agree with the no 1 pick. Played the game on PlayStation and played the game normally for the most part, then played the end of the game with a friend who had a way overleveled Salvador. He beat the final boss in like 3 punches and I was excited but now I’m bummed I didn’t get the experience myself. I’m playing with another friend now on PC and we started with level 1 characters. We’re about to be at the mission where we rescue Roland from the bloodshots and I’m having a great time now. Can’t wait to earn that defeat against jack. ❤

Does anyone else hate the game mechanic when you go into fight for your life, and the enemies just start fucking moving away from you? I love borderlands but *THAT* shit has made me almost destroy my TV, console, and controllers. Sometimes I just have to take a couple week to month break. ESPECIALLY when I go farming for a couple of hours just for 1 weapon

Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out but if your an Axton player, using a Fire element Chopper, Antagonist Shield and your farming Hyperius, the Chopper makes quick work of him, with the correct method. Kreig benefits with it also if you use the Bloodlust skill tree

The first time i played borderlands i was so angry that i kept getting one shotted by everyone and couldnt do any damage but i didint give up and here i am playing this game every single year.

The only reason I see to keep a lower level gun like the hellfire is to use Claptrap’s safe and give it to one of your lower level characters that match or are below the level of the gun so you don’t have to farm it again. Good video though. I gave up on BL early then picked it up again and have not looked back.

I used to be really hung up on defense. I was always playing Maya spec-ing toward health regeneration and lengthening Phaselock. This latest playthrough, I'm filling up Cataclysm and Maya is a one-woman wrecking crew. Cloud Kill feels almost like a cheat code.

My advice for getting rid of low level weapons is to transfer them to other characters via the weapons locker in Sanctuary. A level 32 legendary item might not be useful at level 80 in UVHM, but you’ll still get plenty of use from it on other characters at a lower level.

Fuck yeah, me to.

Reliability of applying slag is what makes me HEAVILY hate BL2 endgame. I feel like slag should be a bonus, not a requirement... especially given bosses that are immune to it. Another thing... I play on console... Switch nowadays... And I have a severe skill issue hindering me from playing Zer0 but he's my favorite. I take WAYYY too much damage WAAAAY too easy and just go down before I can do a whole lot... I use deception, throw kunai, might fail to slag due to inconsistency with kunai because I dont wanna be revealed while slagging because im taking damage while that happens, then I try to kill a target but tend to miss crits a lot... like... A lot a lot... But if I sit still and aim careful then I can land crits, but you cant be that methodical all the time due to need for repositioning... Which is why I play Axton... While his gunplay with non exploding/grenade damage weapons is lacking compared to Zer0's intense bullet damage bonuses, Axton is reliable with his turret slag and regen skills. And the aggro it draws is a plus... But also... I miss B0re... I also like Maya but vs bosses she feels so... so weak...Krieg needs too much mental gymnastics to maintain his buffs for a gun build plus I dont like relying on kill skills for my damage output because a lot of bosses are 1v1 for large portions of the fight meaning my damage output would HINGE upon having killable minions... And I Hate Anarchy but if you wanna play gaige you have to in UVHM.... I frankly also hate that deathtrap cannot melee a majority of large unmoving enemies or flying enemies... At the least if his shock laser received an approximate 1k% damage buff it'd be viable.

Dang that fleshstick glitch was a throwback! I remember joining public games and see people doing that nonestop. Great video!

One of my favourite games. I love the madness of it, running in all guns blazing. And the humour, of course. Completely agree with no 1. Cheating just ruins all games.

1st time I played was with zero and gave up at the bloodshot strong hold. Eventually came back a year later and beat it with maya. But for 1st time players learning the game I would recommend Gaige her bot does most of the work for you.

But my Salvador max level 100% completion got corrupted so I have to start another one.

I usually use an XP cheat when I'm trying out new builds. I've put literally thousands of hours into this game and I'm still coming up with new ideas or stumbling across people who have a different way of looking at skills or playstyles that I want to try. But I don't have all the time in the world so the cheat makes it easy to work stuff out. I'll fire it up, put on a cheat that gives me a lot more XP per instance and run them up to level 40 or so...or high enough to figure out whether I like the idea or not. It's important to note that I'm looking at mechanics, not effects. If you understand how to work the mechanics, the extras (elemental damage, legendary gear, etc.) are largely superfluous. Then I wipe the character and build it for real. It's a great way to figure out what I want to do and to plan my advancement without wasting hours on a dead end concept.

As someone who its a vet and has played for 7+ years I disagree with the attachment to guns one. Because there are some legendaries that can you can use for 13-15 levels before they scale down especially in normal mode and tvm. Like a level 18 slagga just hits way to hard especially with sirens cloud kill. Lyuda also hits hard for a while especially if you pair it with any slag weapon. The firehawk shield can also be busted and I personally it used the whole game. The grub is another one to that pistol is stupid. I agree with all your other tips though.

When I first got this game in January of 2013 I played without Internet, hell I couldn't play my games on the Internet until I moved out of my parents house 3 years later, so I played this game without Internet for 3 years because we didn't have any. When my slag challenged bugged out on ps4 I took advantage of it and now my stats are 763% I even bought a turbo controller just to speed it up.

I just started playing Borderlands 2 a couple months ago same it's so cool to see that the community is still strong. I'm struggling with my Gaige build in UVHM but the game is so good I don't mind building other characters at the same time. Thanks for the tips, i especially like the no 1 tip.

Tip if you want to optimise for most fun, do everything the moment its available check dlc to see the level of enemies and return when you're that level or when it makes sense for the story. If you want to optimise for end game, save side quests for last, do main story then do dlc one at a time then do all side quests

Honestly for me hen I first started playing almost 6 years ago what held me back was not trying new things like other playthroughs or different skill trees or other characters and not different items and weapons and killing unique mobs but when I started doing those things the games experience got so much better

My biggest mistake as somebody who has played the game since 2013 was playing BL3

8:20 Actually, in TVHM and NVHM, slag increases *non*-slag damage by 100% (total of 200% damage), and does nothing for slag damage on the slagged target. In UVHM, Slag damage on a slagged target does +50% damage (150% total), and non-slag damage does +200% damage (300% in total!).

i just got the game a couple weeks ago, started up a week ago and already got 40 hours in, a solo siren and a seperate mechro that me and a friend literally both made fresh characters for and play through when he gets free time. till then i just play solo. no idea why but i got instantly hooked lmao

another tip is don't use all of your golden keys until you're close to max level or until you really need to use them, they are too valuable and very few and far between

Buying this game with my friends, beat borderlands 3 a couple times, so excited and thx for tips :P

I remember when I first started playing bordalands my friend started his level 25 character and I was struck with a level 1 it was so frustrating then I started playing it by myself and really picked up interest with it

The only time I cheat in weapons is to play with them a bit and see if i like them, so that way i dont grind for a gun that i shoot once and go "huh. I hate this"

My issue why I play and stop then come back is bc I don't ever really find any other players

All I'm saying is pay attention to Red Flavor Text with weapons, regardless of color. Think that plays a big part, telling you how that gun will react.

My first time watching your content. You got my sub. I love me some borderlands content no matter which borderlands it is

Never got a player maxed on bl2 but ive played the game probably like 3-4 years ago

I ended up giving up on my zero mainly because it just sucks. I have to do soooo much farming to get it to the new max level (it's level 50 and i made it before having any of the uvhm upgrade packs) and to get weapons for it. I know that it can be really fun but I prefer playing on my maya, sal, or on some rare occasions my gaige

So I tend to boost a side character on a second profile so that character is true vault hunter mode and can get me a boosted vault hunter. Then the fight for sanctuary DLC came out with lv30 starts

Bandit rocket launchers in the x3 rocket are great for fight 4 ur life. At short to med. Distance u can easily get a kill to revive. Just save them for being downed and use the remaining 3 weapon slots for mobs and bosses.

Just started looking to the internet to check out legendaries i pick up, to see if theyre worth a crap. I have a tendency to chuck them, if i have something slightly higher powered. Yes, im new .

one of my best pieces of advice to new players is don't pick a character just because of their skins and customization options! nine times out of ten it hurts the players experience, do your research on the characters, and find out which one suits the way you want to play the game and progress!

Honestly if u do the token glitch u can get ur fire rate so high that a low level infinity can last 20+ levels. With the token glitch my normal mode level infinity lasted until ultimate vault hunter mode. With the token glitch i got my bar fire rate to a little over 400%

first time I quit my character was krieg and because I was too bad for him, he was my first character that I got to UVHM and was loving melee, got him to bnkr and got frustrated because I didnt wan to look up any guides on how to kill him with melee. started playing Zero for a bit and then after I while I tried bnkr again and first tried him

I have played borderlands sense I was 3 and this was still useful

There Are few tiny ones. But one big Mistake I saw many new players doing No taking time in NVHM. What I mean is, not exploring and doing side quests. Learning the game is obviously best on easiest difficulty. I see people rushing main quest dieing, blaming it on character and gear and quiting... they don't usualy know save&quit is a think on their own. Not enough eridium = no ammo reserve = pointless Hating on Dahl and Tediore (you can quess why). I know they end up overleveled if they don't learn in NVHM leads to being overleveled up to UVHM. But that's different issue. BL2 isn't learning players to Aim to the head and use slag more often before you end up in UVHM. But that's different problem

I can get behind most of what you said, but I still have some things I wanna share. First: While I agree that a large portion of the Bandit guns are complete garbage, their SMG's are actually pretty decent. I did a Bandit Allegiance playthrough on Maya quite a few years ago, and it worked like a charm. Only thing was that I had to be within mid range to be able to hit stuff. That build would certainly work for a few OP levels too, but I wouldn't try it all the way. Second: If a character doesn't do it for you, you should abandon it. At least for the time being. Keep in mind that this is a game, and it's supposed to be fun. Not a chore. After a while, one may look at things from a different perspective, and feel the urge to try that char again. I had that experience with Zero. Finally... Exploring things as a new player, is one of the most important things there is. It keeps the creativity active. Being spoon fed... Not so much! Good job! I think I'll drop you a like! 😉

My biggest tip to anyone new is dont make your first character Salvador. Hes so broken that all the other characters will seem frustrating as youll actually have to learn to play the game unless you take Maya with cloudkill active.

Personal opinions: - If you are starting out UVHM, I really suggest looking up meta builds and modifying them to your taste, because UVHM only really works with a select few builds with a few variations to the strategy... Unless of course you play Salvador. - Don't farm legendary weapons before reaching at least level 50. - If you want a better experience with UVHM get your build ready and then every 4 levels use gibbed to get your get up to level! Seriously, I know it may sound like cheating but with how drops work in this game, considering you have to refarm all your gear every 4 levels, by the time you are done farming all your items you will have already leveled up twice, meaning that the first item you farmed is already reaching the end of it's life span, only exceptions to this rule are relics and classmods which for the most part don't need to be farmed. - If you wanna do a melee build, know right away that it's useless for OP levels as your stop leveling up and your melee damage is adjusted to your level, meaning that at OP 10 you'll be trying to use lvl80 damage against lvl90 enemies. - Get used to slag early on, you are going to need it for UVHM. - Have the bee in your inventory at all times during UVHM, use other shields for fights where you aren't sure you can go by without being hit, but use the bee for everything else (specially bosses). - Extremely useful gear on UVHM: Unkempt Harold, Sandhawk, Slag Pimpernell, Conference Call, Logan's Gun, Norfleet, Bee, Sham

As a level 54 with level 50 legendary hawk, conference call, pimpernel in UVHM you can’t just run and shoot you gotta think before u go in

Back in the day I couldn't fully understand the gameplay of the borderlands, it was difficult for me to get rid of stuff that I like, and it was difficult for me to complete a full playthrough, before the sequel came out I played but never finished the first one, didn't even reach the New Heaven, actually not even the Lucky's bar. But eventually thanks to the save editor that I used to level up my gear to my current level, I was able to enjoy the game enough to complete it. And I loved it. Right now I am actually doing a full playthrough of the entire game series, currently at the New Heaven. And I am doing it on Xbox, which is surprisingly is more enjoyable for me than on pc, I guess that's the old shooting system being designed for consoles first. But otherwise, you are spot on about all those mistakes. Also I am still not interested in all of that endgame stuff and the NG+ stuff, fight me :p Enjoy the game everyone 💛

8:45 Honestly, I think this should have been in the top five. I've gotten green and blue tier guns that had just the right stats to stay as my reliable go-to weapons for hours on end, and I've gotten legendries that are in every way _worse_ then what I already have and immediately get sold off.

Thank you for the post! I have thousand of hours! Great advice! BTW

I'm a new player and I think the worst mistake I made is farming legendaries for countless hours in NVHM. I wasted so much time farming for weapons that got outscaled as I progressed through the story 😂

I admit i in a way copy some creators but not because im lazy to unable to create my own but to learn perks and what perks work well together and what ones dont. I only copy a character to learn what will work for the character im trying to build myself. It was a royal pain but i like to do chalenges like joltzdude allegiance run so i learn diffrent techniques and tips.

I never boosting/getting boosted by my friend because i dont have friiend who play BL to begin with. Feelsgoodman

Just downloaded on the the p5 after swapping my Xbox x that I hit lvl 16. I hit max lvl back on my p3. Just love this game man. Yea bandit suck, but the swagger .

An advice i give for new players: just because something isn't meta doesn't mean it's not fun or good. Yes the Grog heals more than the Rubi, but the Rubi is still a heck of a gun. Of course the Lyuda is great, but have you tried a diaub the Pimpernel is an amazing gun, but have you used a Snider? Try everything untill you find something you like Edit: (plus the rubi can actually kill things lol)

this makes me feel like it's 2014 again

When I tried to get my sister to play the game I played with her on my lv 80 Sal and tried not to kill anything bc she would not play unless I played with her.

@@0fficalHellfire I have an idea for a video series so take haterlands and put a positive spin on it and call it something like positivity lands idk just an idea

*me looking at my contraband sky rocket, knowing I'll outlevel it*

I am by no means new to Borderlands 2 but very much guilty of #3, in my defence through I am trying to solo raid bosses.

My current Axton build is a heavy sniper.

point 1: to be fair the infinity pistol is never not useless as soon as you get one to drop. you won't get one to drop 9 times out of 10 before level 13 in the first place. like, congrats you have the worst gun in the game, but hey at least it has infinite ammo, right? a world dropped slagga though... that's always useful. basically if it's not the double pen harold a slagga or bee shield don't get attached. those three will carry you through the whole game. point 2 bandit weapons are okay with very specific build types on characters that have reload speed buffs like Gaige(I'm gonna be real she's the only one that can really utilize them to the fullest). that said, I'd stick to smgs and shotguns maybe an e-tech AR if you find one. Otherwise, yeah skip 'em. point 3: I don't think it's possible to hit a wall with Gaige. She's just broken with anarchy, and the ricochet skills. 🤣 Here's a better final point: don't farm for anything other than levels. If you get a legendary while farming the levels, cool, but the moment you start farming exclusively for legendaries you're going to be save quitting and reloading through the same area potentially thousands of times before you get what you want. You will burn out and get bored very fast. the game is already too grindy as it is, don't waste your time. the point in the game where you'll actually want to farm on normal mode is maybe for a conference call and bee shield. those two weapons will carry you through the next two playthroughs. Other than those two items don't bother farming loot until you complete True Vault Hunter mode and are ready to move on to UVHM difficulty(level 50-60). By this point you should be sufficiently bored with the game along with all of it's DLC after having run through it twice already(I know I was), and go install a better one(like the original borderlands game which you should have played first) 👍

The only bandit gun I really like using is slagga 💀
