Is it possible to beat Borderlands 2 with only the Evil Smasher? What if we tried it in 2024? Can we beat Borderlands with only the biggest nerfed gun in history? Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Borderlands the Pre-sequel, and Borderlands 3 all have guns that can get pretty wacky, but wacky doesn't always mean good. In this challenge run, we try to beat the game with only the once-powerful Evil Smasher! Want to see me try this challenge with a different gun, grenade, or shield? Comment below on what gun, grenade, or even shield I should try next! Any gun in any game (Borderlands 1, Borderlands 2, Borderlands the Pre-Sequel, Borderlands 3, or Wonderlands!)
The date was April 2nd 2013, and Gearbox just released the patch that would drive the evil smasher into an early grave, never to be taken seriously ever again. 10 years have passed since then and archaeologists have rediscovered the remains of this once powerful weapon, and then I stole it because I wanted to know, Can you beat Borderlands 2 with only the evil smasher? For the rules on this run we will be playing on UVHM OP10, for the new players or the players that never touched this game since the nerf, that pretty just means enemies have 4 times health, health regen, and they're all 10 levels higher than us. BAR will not be allowed for this run and the evil smasher is the only gun we’re allowed to use. Also just to be clear, The evil smasher glitch is not allowed. This might be common sense because it was patched out but the way we use it kind of makes it seem like I'm using a glitch but ill explain that more later. Also, we will be playing as Krieg but melee will not be allowed for this run. I know I know not letting Krieg do his favorite thing is a war crime but the run would devolve into a pure melee run really fast. As for the gear, I'll be using a basic shield, vault hunter relic for funny drops, a low-level slag grenade because Krieg has no slagging skills, if you're one of those people and want to see the slagless version of this run I'll have a link to that in the description. and the legendary reaper classmod, mainly for blood-bath and the extra kill skill duration. Here is a quick peek at the build, feel free to ask questions about it in the comment section, and I'll answer when I can. With all that out of the way let's hop into the run. Right off the bat, we can't really fight anything because the evil smasher is garbage, instead, we have to start farming to activate its effect. Every time you attempt to reload this gun you have a 7% chance to get a bunch of stat boosts that last for the duration of that mag. For simplicity, I'll refer to these powered-up mags as Smasher Mags. Anyway, you See what I mean when I say this looks like I'm doing a glitch. Anyway, after seeing this explosion in front of us or hearing the activation sound we have 26 rounds to fight with, which lets us kill about 2 bad guys assuming they were slagged before we run off to try. - เกม
Eyo my gun just said the Subscribe button is evil! Can you guys smash the mf for me 😈
Just did
Yo happy u making another vid but can u make more often instead of a month later😅
@@Blissy_boi beating with these conditions and then editing it is hard
I can't :(
@@gabrielsantosbastos5257 wait what
*powercore*: drops into the abyss
Roland: Oh good job, you got the powercore!
Gasmask is the abyss confirmed
@@LilGasmask666
If I stare into the Gasmask, will the Gasmask stare back?
@@LilGasmask666 the abyss is actually BigGasmask777
Not letting Krieg commit war crimes with his buzzsaw axe is 100% a war crime. We should take all your weapons, and force you to do a jump damage only playthrough as punishment 😈
Fun fact: when you're defending the beacon for the fast travel, you can just enter the bar, save quit, load, leave the bar, repair the beacon, go back in the bar, then repeat this about 8 times it finishes the defense part of the mission without having to fight a single loader or constructors
Another fun fact: bloodwings AI breaks if you just keep jumping in place when she lands
do this when you do lowest xp run, you wont believe how fast the level diff catches up
The real friends were the evil we smashed along the way.
Wait, no they weren't!
I swear I learn some cool cheesy fact every time you post, thank you for your extremely targeted research 🙏
🫡
"Jack really threw a Toaster into my Bloodbath" was an amazing line.
it took me a build breakdown at 4:21 to realize how cool this gun would actually be if not for OP10 bullshit scaling and what seems to be a massive "fuck you" kind of nerf Evil Smasher received just because players was too naughty with it
Yeah it’s a great gun…7% of the time 🙃
fun fact: the fridge is actually optional! once you enter the fridge you can just leave and enter the highands through the dust. You do need to runs through the first part of the highlands outwash in reverse to trigger the sequence of sanctuary phasing back in but hey you dont need to deal with rats
I’m so tempted to do this every run but I hold back 🤣
@@LilGasmask666 yeah i guess it would feel a bit cheesy for a youtube video
You shouldn't cheese the rats...they might like that.
tHiS iSn’T tHe ChOpPeR!
Seriously though, for the chopper video, you should include the megamind clip where everyone goes "He did it..." to BRwashere reaching 365 days.
tHiS iSn'T sLaM oNlY!
I already know that the Chopper only Video gonna be fire🔥
gas mask be like "nah I'd win" when looking at a toaster
🤣
If Smasher Mags had something like a 25% chance The Evil Smasher would be so much better, still not that good but better
13:27 Here, I counted 15 reloads, so the chance of at least one proccing a Smasher mag was 66.23%
You're slightly more likely to land an instakill move in a Pokemon game against an opponent 4 levels lower than you than Gasmask was to not get at least one Smasher mag
*"If the Evil Smasher has a 7% chance to proc but Silence The Voices has a 12% chance, then why do they feel so far apart?"*
Because we all know RNGesus prefers f'ing you over more.
Or Silence The Voices is 70% more probable than Evil Smasher (0.12/0.07 = 1.714...) and people remember negative events more than positive ones 🤓
@@tundcwe123 What bothers me about STV is that you NEVER just proc it once. It's always at least three in a row for me and when it procs it will keep proccing hugely disproportionately for at least a minute straight and after that you get like an hour of nothing.
@@thychozwart2451
Pro tip: Try tossing the buzz axes. They'll still scale with the boosted Melee damage, but you'll never hit yourself when you throw them
@OhCrapI_He you might be better off just running no STV instead of just throwing since throws do like 1/5 of the damage an actual hit does.
The fact “In the face of evil” wasn’t played in this video is a crime.
Damnit missed opportunity 😭
@@LilGasmask666 it’s alright gasmask. Happens to the best of us.
Random unrelated thing I think is super hilarious, the first time I saw an EXP loader I though it was a rare spawn that gives you a ton of exp and ran right up to it to mag dump into it you can guess what happend next
Me too lmao 😂
"Oh, it's an exploder, not an EXP loader. F*ck, that's a good pun."
This was my first interaction with them.
6:00 this is way too relatable. STV triggers so much and rare good effects basically never trigger
Salt the Vound? Considering how much that melee self damage hurts sucks it might as well be a Transylvanian Vampire
Babe, wake up! Lilgasmask666 posted a new "Can you beat borderlands while..." video!!!
Even when GasMask L's at the fact he uploaded it early, it's still a gasmask W.
Now, on 3!
Lemme smash that evil
That evil needs to be smashed
Lemme smash that evil
That evil needs to be smashed
Don't let that 7% get you down
Cuz you know when it procs
It will flip your frown
Come on
Evil Smasher
I hardly know her
I ain't the sharpest smasher in the shed
But 7% of the time that evil do be dead
Lemme smash that evil
That evil needs to be smashed
Lemme smash that evil
That evil needs to be smashed
"Guess Bloodwing's just weak to explosive damage"
Considering how she died in the story, DUH.
Honestly, to not make this run as much of a ball ache and move it slightly more viable, I would have allowed a Tourge Allegiance relic. Only a blue rarity, max. I already know how bad the Evil smasher is and I feel like you're a champion for this lol
12:07 This moment looked like an anime scene (where a bunch of your friends arrive at the last second to help)
Fr bro that was on some sailer moon type shit XD
i love how your dedication always makes the answer to these questions: "Yes, but it's really fucking hard."
"Can you beat borderlands 2 as an alchoholic?"(grog nozzle) i really wanna see that title
Grog only run, but every time I get the drunk effect, I take a shot irl
"I created a new strat. THIS time, I did the exact same thing but had it work, THAT way I didn't fail."
You're so quotable
I laughed so hard when he said that
I discovered you about a month ago, & proceeded to watch every video of yours. This is the first new video of yours ive been able to witness as a subscriber.
This is gonna be epic!
🥰
BL1 Challenger Run
Tks Wave Only
Make sure to EVIL SMASH that like button and that fuckin’ notification bell!!!
I would ask for "Can you beat Borderlands 2 putting the stinky on every enemy?" but since the answer is no, instead I will ask "How many enemies can you put the stinky on in Borderlands 2?"
19:41 Love the dashie reference, lol
11:19 This terrible joke, is way funnier than it's supposed to be.
gotta love gearbox nerfing the evil smasher but not nerfing, i dunno, pirate mercenaries (can completely vanish instantly, killing a second wind chance), cursed pirates (can steal health from you even in fight for your life, borderline impossible to kill if you get downed. also incredibly fast and tanky), skeleton mages (same as pirate mercenaries, but vanish even more frequently, and are ranged shock damage dealers. nearly impossible to second wind off of them) or, maybe nerfing that good ol' UVHM health regen.
Good to know the Evil Smasher can still kill enemies despite it all. Plus not to mention it's got my favorite weapon skin with the little doodles on it
Day 1 of recommending
can you beat borderlands 2 LASO?
Uvhm op 10 is already like mythic, tilt, and thunderstorm.
For iron you would have to save quite and load back in the level every time you die
For fog you just cut the mini map
Blind disables the hud (optional but the mini map only run was worse)
Cowbell, black eye, and grunt birthday party would require some more complex modding so optional,
cowbell would turn up explosive knock back
Black eye, set all shield recharge delay timers to some absurdly high value like 99999 second delay, but have melee reset the timer to 0, I’m sure you could make a modded relic for this.
Grunt birthday add a live grenade drops when a midget dies, or the visual effect for the firework.
Catch, IWHBYD, famine, and tough luck can’t really be done.
You could use any character and weapons but for challenge sake I’d say you can’t start with legendary weapons or shields, you have to farm them. You can use classmods legendary.
Im convinced the endgoal of this channel is for you to be the first person on earth to sucomb to borderlands pyschochis
tHiS iSn'T tHe ChOpPeR
Fr this isnt the Chopper. We should cancel him
(Im just kidding ofc)
Ain't no way we get mogged by Saturn, a toaster, and Handsome Jack before borderlands 4 😱💀
Household appliances have alywas been our greatest enemy
and Lilith. Lilith too
Ah yes, my favourite completely balanced game beaten by only reloading one gun.
Honestly, I feel like that one Facebook mom that bought a fruity cereal but then found out that it's uncoloured. You know, like usual cereal loops colour.
Since I saw the run. I remembered the gun. And I expected complete misery. Just, pain. But it turned out to be just mediocre sorrow.
Still great video though, glad to see that people smashed the evil like button.
23:53 honestly the best part of the video, the fucking "boo, we believe youll FAIL" like damn 🤣🤣
it really makes me happy that 12 years later this game still has a dedicated and loving community doing its thing
Seeing Saturn, a constructor and Jack looksmaxing is something I thougt I would never see
Seeing an OW2 reference in Borderlands 2 looks coherent... Except for the part that a psycho is used to reference an omnic monk 🤪
Genuinely love this creator. You are breathing life back into a hurting franchise. Have you thought about a modded challenge run?
Not the next video but the one after that is ganna be a goofy modded run 😈
Few could do these pain olympics that we call BL2 challenge runs, but we could make fun stories out of them.
good job, man. truly. stand proud, you're a cook.
12:24 where the surveyors healed the bot was just peak BL2.
One of these days Bloodwing will go back to being an actual threat
Can you beat Borderlands 2 using only elemental Jakobs weapons? (Greed pistol, Stinkpot assault rifle, and Twister shotgun.) If this is too easy, choose only one of them.
You forgot about "The Hot Mama"
And the Cobra.
@@bast4rdlyreaper I was only listing the originals ones that I know of. Plus the Cobra would be better used for a Tiny Tina weapons only run.
Gaige lmfao
EVIL SMASHER YEAAAAAH!!! I love this gun even if its trash I love the stupid silly gimmicks so much.
Proof from the unbiased ultimate judge of evil that “howdy boys” is the pinnacle of evil in the Borderlands universe
24:15 was mad funny
There's a certain irony to Melee not being allowed to accompany Smash. I do prefer Ultimate anyway, but I'm not sure how to play on "Vault Hunter Mode."
The thumbnail is depicting Krieg barely holding back to keep the run valid :)
7:39 Long range Stinky
Pain is weakness leaving the body, literally lilgasmask.
Fun fact most keys reselling websites are used with stolen credit cards the game is traded for real world money and it usually hurts the developers because the game is gone and they have to eat the cost when they get charged back refunds because of stolen funds from the credit card owner
6:06 I counted 88 attempted reloads with no Smasher mag
Assuming a 7% chance to proc the effect, the likelihood of this is 0.93^88
0.93^88

It feels weird when I see kreig not in a constant state of Mutant Rampage. By the way LilGasmasochist666 would be a good name for you by now
The best part about you doing BL challenges, considering the amount of items/skills that COULD make a video, as long as you feel like doing it, we keep getting videos!
seeing that old Monster Assault again gave me flashbacks. I dont remember what it tasted like but the new one tastes like regular cola where as the old one tasted as something unique. It was one of my favorites
EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEG THINKING!
Hey Gasmask, try Krieg rapier only, shields and nades are free.So are relics,class mods that involve explosions or melee are allowed. No guns except the Rapier.
12:07 this is tragic lmfao
Normally id say that the legendary reaper is a little unnecessary because a normal blister class mod already gives you 66% skill duration while also giving you more max grenades. But in this case, the evil smasher sucks so much dick that the extra 33% duration could legitimately help in killing more enemies.
oh what a stupendous day, I've stubbled apon another new how to become a masochist video from gasmask. oh how I crave the pain and suffering.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT STEPS UP AND SMASHES EVIL AROUND HERE
Zenyatta had an ultimate change in the new gamemode, so the joke already doesn't work.
Man wtf 🤣🤣🤣
there’s no way I got mogged by saturn, a toaster, and jack in the same video…
NOT THE OW REFERENCE LMAOOOO
tHiS iSn'T tHe ChOpPeR!
You think you’ve seen it all then you lose to stairs. 😂
26 rounds and about 2 bad guys is crazy
Evil smasher when a just smasher uses him
Babe, wake up, new Gasmask video just dropped
Love your challenge runs, dude
I have an idea for a run: Pre-Sequel, but dealing only damage with Athenas shield.
Some top notch stinkies as always, and i thought the toilet room joke went hard 🔥
Bro became spuddy cube for 3 seconds at the jack partz then remembered who he was.
You talking about when I was questioning the meaning of evil XD?
@@LilGasmask666 yes🤣🤣
21:44 “the fitness gram pacer test”
Need a mod that plays "Put the stinky on em" every time you kill someone or a boss
Wow, easy baby turrets with splash gun!?!? What sorcery is this!?!?
Hey so i was playing borderlands the pre sequel and i found a pretty interesting shotgun (blue rarity but unique) it's called the party line (was another part of it but eh i forgot) basically it's a tedior shotgun that shoots fireworks yes you heard right fireworks seems like a troll weapon to be honest but COULD make for an interesting challenge run
Omg I legit forgot kreig doesnt get slag on his base skills
ooo time to enjoy this during my night shift, shame I dont have a monster
🫡 stay strong
Man kirby music is just so damn good
IT COULDN'T EVEN FINISH OFF JACK AFTER THE WARRIOR??!?!?!?!
“How in the hell have you killed my warrior??” Uhh I shot it. A lot. Its what I said to my friend on my first play through and now what I think every time I replay the game
At this point you should also make a rivalry score for the blue toaster
I would love to see a run with only the groge nozzle.
Best support weapon is now you’re only weapon
Gasmask: “After seeing this explosion in front of us or hearing this activation sound”
My dachshund apparently wanting to be the activation sound: proceeds to let out the loudest fucking sneeze I have ever heard come out of a dog that small.
🤣🤣🤣
Hi. I finally beat Borderlands 3.
Can I just say, I never understood why you hate Lilith so much... But now knowing her whole story...
Oh my GOD Lilith be quiet!
Thank god this gun wasn't in the torgue dlc. Otherwise, you would have never done this run after the nukem only challenge. Btw, i was wxpexting either the chopper or the vehicle only run, but this is as insane as those two, so you never ceaze to amaze me/us, love u poyo gas stinky mask
You know if you think about it krieg is sort of an evil psycho but the voice in his head is telling him no to be evil
i have a challenge for you, to beat borderlands 2 uvhm using normal mode guns. Now that would be a cool video but i cant imagine how impossible it would be. Thank you, your content is amazing
You smasher mag, you brought her here!
Gasmask please Lilith is threatening me with a life time of "howdy boys" if you don't do a thought lick only run. GASMASK PLEASE SAVE ME
I remember the first time ever I killed Saturn was with the Evil Smasher…
You may be able to smash evil, but you can't smash a toaster.
was not expecting get philosopical
18:10 Stairs?! NOOOOOOOOOO
This is where I find fractions to be helpful for perspective, silence the voices' 12% is 3/25, and smasher's 7% is 7/100... Same numbers but this way you just feel one happens like 4x as much as the other, but also you remember the bad times more than the good😅🙃☠️ I also feel like luck is exponential growth even if it's not😅🙃
Nigel Thornberry: *heh* Smashing
If melee is not alowed then its not a evil smasher run its now an evil boomer run
