I much prefer the legendary drop rate from bl3 to bl2. That game felt like unless you farmed every single gun was worse than the last. The weird thing is i actually enjoyed farming in 3 because it was fun to see a legendary drop almost every time. I hate games that just artificially waste your time. I liked 1s drop rate the most though. Back when shops actually had good guns instead of just being places to sell trash.
Its funny that, of the four sirens we can pmay as, they all have a different element they specialize in. Fire for Lilith, Shock for Amara, and Corrosive for Maya (cloud kill OP). And, of course, explosive for the prettiest siren, Brick.
@SlorpSlurp I feel like ava is gonna be the playable siren in bl4. Provided gearbox even attempt to think of that. She also has the dark purple going for her
Yeah, TPS is tied with Wonderlands for my second favorite Borderlands game. I also enjoyed playing Aurelia, I just wish her right skill tree didn't require you to have another player.
@@LookIntoGamingthe one skill that gives you accuracy on each kill doesn’t doesn’t require a companion and is SO satisfying. It does suck it takes some wasted skill points to go down but a lot of the skills are strong enough it almost makes it worth it
The Lob has impressive damage output for a shotgun even with it's single damage number since the orb it shoots does damage the entire time it's touching the enemy, makes it very useful against big enemies like bosses.
I truly wonder how eden6 made it into the game in this state. What went wrong in design that 50% of the game is just bland forrest with the same enemies again
My first ever BL3 legendary was on my first run. I got a conference call to drop from the badass shock skag that spawns in the same area he got his quasar from.
It's also partially they were trying to make a new Tiny Tina-like character, and just couldn't capture the perfection from BL2. I also don't get it because the 6 sirens we had were fine as is (technically 3 after you beat the game, but still).
She better be a boss fight in bl4 If they try to make her sexy that would be like putting a dress on a toliet and throwing some glitter at it. Dang there's no hope.
@@LookIntoGaming I'm honestly cool with Ava, and technically there's a seventh but she's not supposed to be found. At least the known six's powers are probably all known now, Phasetrance, Phaseshift, Phaselock, Phasewalk, Phaseleech, and Animal Control(Probably called like Phasecall or something like that). Since Miss 7th is meant to never be found then her power has to be insanely dangerous, which I find worrying when Phaseleech is already shown to be incredibly dangerous already. As for what they can do with Ava, honestly her being a playable character in the next game wouldn't be out of the question. I mean, outside of them doing another roster like Pre-Sequel, she's kind of the only option unless Gearbox wants to confirm Lilith's dead by having us play as her successor or we play as whatever girl now has Phaseleech.
She didn't even go down without a fight. Sirens are some of the most powerful beings in the universe and ava never threw a punch. Ava was the worst written plot device I've seen in a game, she's unlikable when we meet her. Yea she matures a little bit in the director's cut but they didn't have to kill of Maya so dramatically, especially since she was the same ground as lilith. This is what happens when you hire unfunny millennials to write your games.
Yeah, I got a Maggie from the Handsome Jackpot DLC and I went to go do the story. A Level 14 Maggie carried me all the way to the end game… that’s how good it is.
During some of the fights you can hear tracks from mgr, a good taste in music, and good commentary, I will watch more challenge videos from you because the other TH-camrs who do this don't upload fast enough. You are an amazing TH-camr
Thank you very much, and I'm glad you liked the music! I am trying my best to get these videos out as quickly as I can, but after making them, I understand why other people take so long to upload, as these videos take an insane amount of work (and time) to make.
Never played the pre sequel because everyone talked so much crap about it until literally the last two weeks and it is indeed a god tier game, my first time playing borderlands two was in 5th grade and I’m now 3 years out of highschool😂
The only thing I think sucks about TPS is lack of end game content, besides that, I never understood why it was disliked. I can't remember when I started playing BL2, but I think it was 4th or 5th grade, I thought I was the only one that started playing that early.
Pre sequel was a great game, it was just too short. When it was released we thought we had a full game coming when in reality it was super short. But they done OK with the story. The game changes were great. Was a fun game again just too short. That's honestly why I and others are pissed, not the only reason for some though but for me it was.

Really good video that also shows just how broken the legendary drop rate is. Though I have to admit I still get excited when they randomly drop but I also, for the first game ever had a full legendary set-up. Definitely made the game WAY easier. Especially with the fact a low-level legendary can absolutely carry you well past it's "prime"
Thank you! I always get excited for rare loot, at least for a second before I see it's a useless legendary. One of my favorite carry guns for the early game is The Nighthawkin, which can carry you to Skywell-27, but of course you get way more options by then now.
@arnoarno1092 I personally think that BL3's drop rate is nice, but admittedly, it is very overtuned. BL2's was painful imo, especially if you're playing gaige. Farming on her sucks! I also understand why people don't like the excessive drops. Farming is one of the main draws of Borderlands, so trivialising that is kinda lame. Plus, it doesn't help that a lot of them range from mid to God awful. Though, BL2 has a similar issue, so I don't really take the second criticism too seriously.
Thank you very much! The whole reason I started this series is the fact I love these types of videos as well, and I wanted to see more of them, so I made my own and found a new passion in the process!
On that long driving mission with vaughn, you can actually just spawn your own car, drive to the end, then respawn vaughns car at the last catch a ride. Saves tons of time haha
Now this takes me back...used to do rarity specific runs for the hell of it back in the day. I still remember my common weapons Zane run, affectionately nicknamed "White Trash Zane"
I've always wanted to do a white rarity run, and I think BL3 might be perfect for it. Perhaps seeing the highest mayhem level you can get with white gear in all slots. I'm not sure what VH I would go though.
Thank you! A side objective of these runs is to play characters I normally wouldn't, and Amara was insanely fun. I also agree with her being slept on, all her builds are fun and powerful.
The Orb. If you have seen my streams, you will see we have a mixed relationship, but those highlights will be in the next video. (I tried using the orb for once in forever, and it decided to always glitch underground and never worked properly, then later I used it and it was really good against bosses)
17:37 when I fought that boss I thought Borderlands was trolling me by having a boss with my name, and it popping up when I was angry about Maya's death. You can't make this up. Gearbox has to be trolling me at this point.
Thank you very much! I can never guarantee when the next video is, but I'm hoping 1-3 weeks, because I'm working on 2 smaller videos before the next big one.
That was one of my favorite guns to use, especially on Fl4k. I really like Jacobs guns crit ricochet in BL3. (I love chain and ricochet things in general).
The sleeping giant is actually very overpowered. There’s a chance when you reload it for it to have extremely high fire rate, accuracy and reload speed. Carried me for a while the first time I got it
I did this without using any normal weapons and it was a little bit harder, mainly because you have to do melee only until you get a gun and all without a shield until Promethia where the first dedicated one can be found. Or you can find one in a vendor.
Dedicated drops could be a way to make this run harder and more fun, and I wanted to start with a legendary from shiv, but no legendaries till lvl 11 for some reason.
5:33 i got his legendary shotgun by "accidentally" dropping into his boss fight right after already beating him while doing the VR side mission that is in the same area.
5 days ago started this challenge with my sister, been having a blast. We pretended to be snobbish Aristocrats that are disgusted at the mere thoughts of carrying white to purple rarity items. Those are for commoners. Butt Stallion Milk + the Cistern of Slaughter made the challenge kind of a non-challenge for us. Especially since heading to Nekrodefayo we be level 50+ now. Still no Maggie tho... Hellwalker stupidly fucking powerful tho, and using Butcher as Moze is just utterly stupid. It's like the Infinity pistol but better.
I had the cartels event active, but never did it in this part. Bloody Harvest is like the cartels, so I would have to do the level for extra gear, and for Broken Hearts, some hearts can drop legendaries (and they spawn very often) so I decided to just stick with my favorite, the cartel event.
Im not joking I loaded up BL3 last month, made a new character. And RIGHT before fighting Shiv, I opened the very first non-fixed loot chest hidden above his arena's entrance and I got a Level 1 Unforgiven. I was playing zane for reference, so I literally just spent 18 levels insta gibbing enemies with Mantis Cannon crit shots before I got bored upon arriving on Eden 6... I then replayed all of BL2 and TPS and had a MUCH better time 😂 (I miss the universal fast travel though)
In the tutorial area just before shiv, where you get your first shield, there's another white tier chest that has weapons. On occasion you can get a legendary from it. Two different occasions, one was an infinity and another was a butcher.
Idk I feel like there’s a happy medium somewhere between bl2 and bl3’s legendary drop rates. I hated having to save quit and reload at least 40 times to get the infinity pistol from doc mercy. On the other hand I think 2-3 times being my usual for getting the nighthawkin is a little absurd. Edit: I just got a nighthawkin on my third farm 😂😭. It doesn’t have the parts I want tho so probably another 2-3 farms and I’ll get it just right.
You have a good point. BL2 drop rates are good for a casual playthrough, but really annoying once you're looking for something specific. I also think there's a mod for BL2 to respawn enemies, and if I can find it, I definitely need it.
I usually get 1-2 legendaries in a normal BL2 run, but of course we know BL3 is BL3. Still, being able to buy legendaries from vending machines is very nice if you need a quick upgrade.
You should check out my BL2 videos. My real curse comes from fire barrels. I don't know how, or why, but they always seem to get me at the worst possible times.
I think it's so crazy how many legendaries you got for how few attempts you made at farming them. I remember playing through 2 and my first, like 3 playthroughs, I didn't get a single legendary because I only fought each boss only once. I think the legendaries increase the replayability a lot, and not needing to work for them kinda kills the vibe.
The truly crazy thing is that some relics can give you better drop rates, not to mention the Shlooter, which increases world drop rates by 1000% for 12s after killing an enemy. All they had to do was add pearls to balance out the stupid legendary drop rates.
I recently played through Bl3 and just completed DLC 2 today, and i loved the story a lot, and enjoyed all the characters, even Ava. I dont understand all the hate toward the dialogue personally because i always find it funny and i actually thought the calypsos had some really good moments, albeit a bit weak towards the end a terrible final boss. Im in no way calling anyone wrong for disliking the story, i just personally really enjoyed it! Also a fellow hellwalker enjoyer, very nice
Bc ava didnt earn anything das why people hate her. She basically kills maya and then without doing anything she becomes the leader of the crimson raiders. Thats my main complaint anyway
@@zayne529 I do 100% agree that she did nothing to earn the spot as the leader of the raiders when there's still brick and mordecai around to help, but I don't think she killed maya, I honestly think that the calypsos were just a bit stronger in the end which lead to her untimely death. But hey, we all have our own tastes and that is completely okay!
I agree that everyone has their own opinion, and there are a bunch of good moments, I just think some of my distain comes from playing it so many times, and the story and some of the characters just don't hook me like they do in BL2. I mostly think that it was the tales from the borderlands game that ruined the story, and that bad story was continued in BL3. I absolutely love the gameplay, guns, combat and new movement, just not the story and new characters.
I also love the Maggie, and The Butcher is my favorite BL2 pearl. I haven't used the One-Pump, but it sounds cool, and the only issue with the crazy drop rates is that it makes every other rarity of weapon worthless, even early on.
Awesome! I've done this in almost all of the Borderlands games, I'm just figuring out my eventual plan for BL1, as there are no dedicated drops, and legendaries are super rare.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the mini-bosses have such a large loot pool and such good drop rates that it feels that way. I have had times where they don't drop anything, but I might be remembering wrong.
I agree, I am kind of hoping either for more Borderlands space-based games, or space levels in future games. Laser guns coming back would also be awesome.
Also the bit where you were talking about how they kill maya I was bruh just kill who shall not be named the game would have been amazing if they did that
For the ravager when u know its about to jump, go to any of the 4 corners and hug the wall. Then (while still hugging it), move towards the middle of the whole wall. There will be a slanted piece of wall architecture that blocks the rav projectiles when it jumps. Hope i explained that well enough (゜゜;)
The challenge for me was getting the second legendary using only melee and my action skill, the glitched quasar really stunted my early game progression.
I forgot about the turning in the mission part (and I didn't want to run though that level with only a sniper again.) As for farming TK's Wave, I don't know. I guess I should have looked at what Dumptruck dropped, cause I could farm him and the demoskags in the same instance.
I'm legit surprised You didnt farm the butcher. It's such a good shotgun and You can get it pretty early on, plus yo un get pretty Much infinite ammo lmao
That's just how the game works, sadly. Zane is also my favorite character, because he is really good, but he has a cool interaction between his shield and The Redistributor, which is my favorite gun and playstyle.
The DLCs are all going very well, the next video will just take a while due to the massive scale of it, thanks to all the DLC footage being packed into one video!
That's the plan! I am going to have a different start for the DLCs, so I will start at a lower mayhem level, but I will see how high of a difficulty I can handle.
You can actually farm mouthpiece right at the start after you finish his quest he will drop the mind killer and a nemesis. The nemesis will take you past promethea on level 12 alone
are you planning on doing the events (like revenge f the cartel and bloody harvest)? they have some of my favourite loot in the needle gun and ghast call.
I remember the first time I beat the base game. I was using a pre nerf Fl4k tourge shotgun crit build. Tyrene melted to the end of action skill burst damage.
Amara is perhaps my second favorite BL3 character, but Moze is just bonkers lol. Also they did Maya so dirty in this game, she's my all time favorite character because BL2 was my first game and my Maya build was just so broken I was keeping pace with my friend in his campaign and he was like a good 15 levels higher than me 😂
Zane is my favorite, mostly because he's so powerful, and chain Zane is my favorite build, but Moze is a close second, especially after they added Iron Cub. BL3's entire story is a tragedy, and it's all due to the Tales from the Borderlands game. If they just ignored that story and continued from the end of BL2, I think it would have been way better.
I think in the next BL game, they should go back to the BL1 legendary system. Make it so that most legendaries can drop from most enemies or loot sources but make the drop rate less frequent than with BL3. It’s the right amount of rare but not too rare. Oh yeah, they should also bring back pearlescents.
I think BL2 had the best legendary balancing, and I have no clue why they didn't add pearls to BL3, as they should have been as rare as legendaries on other games instead.
Honestly a lot of the legendaries that aren't as good should have a different rarity like "false legendary" since they really aren't all that legendary.
That's the major issue with the gun balancing in this game. There are so many legendaries, that they all can't be good, and that's why it's a shame there was no pearl/seraph/effervescent weapons to give us some real variety in rarities.
I kind of forgot those existed when I did this run. Those are what I should have used until my first world drop though, as that works perfectly in place of Shiv not dropping a legendary.
I remember on release day, I got to sanctuary and immidiately pulled a blackhole shield from a slot machine- I dont know if that was BL3 juiced rates or the hundreds of hours of not getting a single legendary in the BL2 slots It worked well, since I did some weird double nova build with my clone as well
I've never gotten a legendary from the BL2 slots, and never played them enough in 3. I'm also pretty sure that the slots in BL3 can only drop rare and higher gear, but I have only done them a few times, so I more testing is needed.
This was a great video the only thing im wondering is that i was laying borderlands 3 and i was severely under leveled is there a way to keep that from happening
damn i feel bad gear box messed up ava's character so bad. and the thing is they planned for a scene that would have entirely saved her character for me which you can find in the behind the scene's in animation titled maya's funeral. litterally the only reason i like ava is because i consider what we actually get non cannon and this behind the scenes clip cannon
Reminds me when at level 11 I got the moar lineag which carried me through the entire game when I first played it (I did amara untill the game hardlocked me and deleted one of the vault keys on the podium.
My first playtrough on bl3 with all dlcs doing all the side quests once and only farming for a couple of endgame weapons i had so many legendaries that i hit the item limit on the bank with all the ssd. I have over 100 hours on bl2 and have never found so many legendaries. Alsso this game is the easyest in the franchise i managed to first try the raid bosses on mayhen 10 solo. I only ever beaten terramorohous with 4 players.
I remember doing this challenge. I spent a total of 15-20 minutes before I got a legendary. Wasn't even hard to punch my way to it. It's insane, and from there is was a normal playthrough. At least it's not like it was when it came out on Steam, where I have almost every single badass drop me a legendary, sometimes 2. One even dropped 4 at one point Should probably add this: Note, I do not count dead-time for this (time spent where it's purely dialogue and/or cutscenes)
I knew BL3 was easy, I was just hoping that Shiv would drop a legendary, so I can start the run out with one. The only real challenge of this run was getting through early game with mostly the Monocle.
My go-to is the Night Hawkin, just like you, but once I get to the next area, I kill Skrakk. I'm surprised you didn't. Drops both a nice AR and a pistol. That would have made it even easier
@@LookIntoGaming I did it last week, not exactly sure where the trigger for respawning is, but it's either immediately after quest completion or a step shortly after. I farmed for the shotgun just to find out it was kind of bad compared to what I already had.

Good work dude you should try another challenge like this I would def watch it
Glad to hear you like it! I have a second part of BL3 where I beat all the DLCs, then TTWL, and many more challenges to come!
This run was epic! I think Amara was a great choice, I think she's a slept on character. Can't wait for the Wonderlands run!
Thank you! A side objective of these runs is to play characters I normally wouldn't, and Amara was insanely fun. I also agree with her being slept on, all her builds are fun and powerful.
@@LookIntoGaming I like smacking people in the face with a big ball. XD
The Orb. If you have seen my streams, you will see we have a mixed relationship, but those highlights will be in the next video. (I tried using the orb for once in forever, and it decided to always glitch underground and never worked properly, then later I used it and it was really good against bosses)
The hardest thing to do in BL3 is to not die of old age before the main story's ends
True. I'm burnt out of the game because I just did a BL3 run. Won't happen again for a while.
agreed that the Mya death was a sucker punch through the bad story 😭Mya was my favourite from BL2
I'm also sad that we lost Scooter and don't see Zed. I really wish they would have just ignored the story of the Tales game.
17:37 when I fought that boss I thought Borderlands was trolling me by having a boss with my name, and it popping up when I was angry about Maya's death. You can't make this up. Gearbox has to be trolling me at this point.
I mean, it certainly seems that the game is indeed trolling you.
@@LookIntoGaming they got to be.
@@LookIntoGaming and the worst part about this they know my gamertag and they know I play Maya all the time.
@@Billygaming1447they didn’t think of you at all when making the enemy. Don’t get your hopes too high
@@Billygaming1447you have a common ass name
This vid was great I can’t wait for the next part❤
Thank you very much! I can never guarantee when the next video is, but I'm hoping 1-3 weeks, because I'm working on 2 smaller videos before the next big one.
Lucian's Call absolutely carried me as Beastmaster.
That was one of my favorite guns to use, especially on Fl4k. I really like Jacobs guns crit ricochet in BL3. (I love chain and ricochet things in general).
The sleeping giant is actually very overpowered. There’s a chance when you reload it for it to have extremely high fire rate, accuracy and reload speed. Carried me for a while the first time I got it
I've never really used it, but I will have to test it out sometime.
I enjoy your subtle use of revengeance soundtracks
Thank you! I was still trying to find what soundtracks to use for BL3, and MGR:R fits very well for the boss fights.
I did this without using any normal weapons and it was a little bit harder, mainly because you have to do melee only until you get a gun and all without a shield until Promethia where the first dedicated one can be found. Or you can find one in a vendor.
Dedicated drops could be a way to make this run harder and more fun, and I wanted to start with a legendary from shiv, but no legendaries till lvl 11 for some reason.
5:33 i got his legendary shotgun by "accidentally" dropping into his boss fight right after already beating him while doing the VR side mission that is in the same area.
Hmm. I guess there can be benefits to doing the side missions sometimes.
5 days ago started this challenge with my sister, been having a blast.
We pretended to be snobbish Aristocrats that are disgusted at the mere thoughts of carrying white to purple rarity items. Those are for commoners.
Butt Stallion Milk + the Cistern of Slaughter made the challenge kind of a non-challenge for us. Especially since heading to Nekrodefayo we be level 50+ now. Still no Maggie tho... Hellwalker stupidly fucking powerful tho, and using Butcher as Moze is just utterly stupid. It's like the Infinity pistol but better.
Never run from a tough challenge without a shield. I like that.
It was annoying at first, but looking back at it, not having a shield was really fun because of the challenge it adds.
@LookIntoGaming but is having events enabled, does it count having mission objectives from events too?
I had the cartels event active, but never did it in this part. Bloody Harvest is like the cartels, so I would have to do the level for extra gear, and for Broken Hearts, some hearts can drop legendaries (and they spawn very often) so I decided to just stick with my favorite, the cartel event.
@LookIntoGaming Oh, ok. Thanks for the answer I was looking for. May the Great Vault protects us all.
Yeah, sorry for the late response. I'm not normally like this, but some stuff have been going on in the past few days.
28:00 i did not know you can climb the back i have just been shooting it from the ground the whole time thank you
There is a small spot you can shoot to hit the eye, but I forgot the exact angle because I haven't done this fight in a long time.
5:37 You can actually farm mouthpiece after finishing the "cult following" mission :)
Im not joking I loaded up BL3 last month, made a new character. And RIGHT before fighting Shiv, I opened the very first non-fixed loot chest hidden above his arena's entrance and I got a Level 1 Unforgiven.
I was playing zane for reference, so I literally just spent 18 levels insta gibbing enemies with Mantis Cannon crit shots before I got bored upon arriving on Eden 6... I then replayed all of BL2 and TPS and had a MUCH better time 😂 (I miss the universal fast travel though)
Dang, I don't think I've ever gotten a legendary to drop before The Droughts. And I thought I was lucky.
The Mgr:r sounds ae a great additon to the video, keep it up !
Its awesome that you reply to every comment. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! I also love responding to comments, as it's great to interact with my viewers!
The legendary drop rate in this game is insane
Yeah, I really just with that they would have added Pearls to balance the drop rates out.
In the tutorial area just before shiv, where you get your first shield, there's another white tier chest that has weapons. On occasion you can get a legendary from it. Two different occasions, one was an infinity and another was a butcher.
Interesting. I've opened that chest tons of times, and I've only gotten white or green guns. That could have also been an option if I had known that.
Idk I feel like there’s a happy medium somewhere between bl2 and bl3’s legendary drop rates. I hated having to save quit and reload at least 40 times to get the infinity pistol from doc mercy. On the other hand I think 2-3 times being my usual for getting the nighthawkin is a little absurd.
Edit: I just got a nighthawkin on my third farm 😂😭. It doesn’t have the parts I want tho so probably another 2-3 farms and I’ll get it just right.
You have a good point. BL2 drop rates are good for a casual playthrough, but really annoying once you're looking for something specific. I also think there's a mod for BL2 to respawn enemies, and if I can find it, I definitely need it.
I honestly thought it was me just having stupid luck with the legendary drop rates
That was what everyone thought in their first playthrough. I really wish they would have added pearls to balance out the insane legendary drop rate.
Bro this is my favorite TH-cam series
Awesome! This made my day!
I remember that I didn't even saw a legendary on my first bl2 playthrough just to buy a legendary in bl3 from marcus shop at level 5.
I usually get 1-2 legendaries in a normal BL2 run, but of course we know BL3 is BL3. Still, being able to buy legendaries from vending machines is very nice if you need a quick upgrade.
Joltz:curse of the gub
Gaming:curse of the quazar
Killer6:curse of terra dropping nothing
You should check out my BL2 videos. My real curse comes from fire barrels. I don't know how, or why, but they always seem to get me at the worst possible times.
The first time i played bl3, i got a conference call from a chubby skag right where you got the illegal Quesar
Even though it's not as good as BL2's, it would be an awesome gun to have early game.
I think it's so crazy how many legendaries you got for how few attempts you made at farming them. I remember playing through 2 and my first, like 3 playthroughs, I didn't get a single legendary because I only fought each boss only once. I think the legendaries increase the replayability a lot, and not needing to work for them kinda kills the vibe.
The truly crazy thing is that some relics can give you better drop rates, not to mention the Shlooter, which increases world drop rates by 1000% for 12s after killing an enemy. All they had to do was add pearls to balance out the stupid legendary drop rates.
12:47 I also love the star helix, and have gone back to get a new one whenever I level up too much. I love it
It's also one of my favorite guns. I always farm the power troopers for it in normal playthroughs.
I recently played through Bl3 and just completed DLC 2 today, and i loved the story a lot, and enjoyed all the characters, even Ava. I dont understand all the hate toward the dialogue personally because i always find it funny and i actually thought the calypsos had some really good moments, albeit a bit weak towards the end a terrible final boss. Im in no way calling anyone wrong for disliking the story, i just personally really enjoyed it!
Also a fellow hellwalker enjoyer, very nice
Bc ava didnt earn anything das why people hate her. She basically kills maya and then without doing anything she becomes the leader of the crimson raiders. Thats my main complaint anyway
@@zayne529 I do 100% agree that she did nothing to earn the spot as the leader of the raiders when there's still brick and mordecai around to help, but I don't think she killed maya, I honestly think that the calypsos were just a bit stronger in the end which lead to her untimely death. But hey, we all have our own tastes and that is completely okay!
I agree that everyone has their own opinion, and there are a bunch of good moments, I just think some of my distain comes from playing it so many times, and the story and some of the characters just don't hook me like they do in BL2. I mostly think that it was the tales from the borderlands game that ruined the story, and that bad story was continued in BL3. I absolutely love the gameplay, guns, combat and new movement, just not the story and new characters.
The first legendary I ever got was from the same mission you were doing but I got an electric pistol from an electric skag
I would have loved to get that instead, but the cursed broken grenade was good content.
For the rouge sight door, you can just throw a grenade on and splash damage and It will hit it
That's good to know, Thank you for the tip!
I love the Maggie so much. Also One-Pump Chump. And the Butcher.
Also, I love the drop rates. I hate grinding.
I also love the Maggie, and The Butcher is my favorite BL2 pearl. I haven't used the One-Pump, but it sounds cool, and the only issue with the crazy drop rates is that it makes every other rarity of weapon worthless, even early on.
Fun fact: you can use the rebel yell to kill graveward way faster by using the scan arrow on it's crit spot
Good to know, I've never really used the Rebel Yell, so I don't know much about it, but can you use the tracker for all Atlas guns as well?
I love seeing people use the metal gear rising soundtrack. It has some of the best music in any game in my opinion
It is one of the best game soundtracks for sure, so good that I bought the game just to hear the music.
I’m loving this series
Awesome! I've done this in almost all of the Borderlands games, I'm just figuring out my eventual plan for BL1, as there are no dedicated drops, and legendaries are super rare.
Its so funny that i know the lyrics of the mgrr soundtracks that u put in
They're such great songs, it's impossible to forget the lyrics.
Bro as soon as i heard that you didn't like the yellowcake and the sleeping giant i had a stroke
I used to like the Yellowcake, but it (and RPGs in general) isn't great compared to other types of guns in this game.
Step 1, acquire wave, step 2, acquire hellwalker, step 3, win
Acquire pretty much any legendary and winning is simple.
The cartel always drops a legendary
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the mini-bosses have such a large loot pool and such good drop rates that it feels that way. I have had times where they don't drop anything, but I might be remembering wrong.
Funny enough my alarm is bl3 sanctions
Just so you know. You can very much farm mouthpiece right after you turn in the mission. It's used as an xp farm in early games sometimes.
I always thought you needed to do the other mission to respawn him, thanks for the tip!
@@LookIntoGaming No problem! I can understand that as a misconception!
Woulda been hillarious if the first legendary shield you'd run into had been Rough Rider :D
I would have taken anything for a shield at the start. The health and damage resistance (and potentially other buffs) are better than nothing.
i love tps. im so sad it never got a full life cycle.
I agree, I am kind of hoping either for more Borderlands space-based games, or space levels in future games. Laser guns coming back would also be awesome.
Also the bit where you were talking about how they kill maya I was bruh just kill who shall not be named the game would have been amazing if they did that
Yeah, the main point I am talking about in my streams is now what will / can they do with such a hated character?
The Doom music while using the Hellwalker so thematic.
I thought so as well. I also love how it plays metal sound effects when you pick it up and shoot it. Easily one of the coolest guns in the game!
@@LookIntoGaming The Hellwalker is my favorite gun just because it's a Doom reference.
For the ravager when u know its about to jump, go to any of the 4 corners and hug the wall. Then (while still hugging it), move towards the middle of the whole wall. There will be a slanted piece of wall architecture that blocks the rav projectiles when it jumps. Hope i explained that well enough (゜゜;)
Also, when was this run done, cause sep.7th-14 was loot the uni on eden 6. Also, I'm not sure if it activates before mayhem mode. ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌
I appreciate the tip! I also will completely forget it in a few months when I do my next run. Thank you anyways!
I did this challenge before, and I got six legendarys in the first area, like after you do the tutorial.
The challenge for me was getting the second legendary using only melee and my action skill, the glitched quasar really stunted my early game progression.
I stan Moxxi's Bouncing Pair, but damn is using that mod playing with fire (and electricity).
Part of the fun of grenades is the chance they come back and damage (and likely DoT) you to death.
ah i see, another balloons during downtimes gamer, i respect it, it is after all the only way to play bl3
I needed a game that didn't strain my pc too much, and one I could pause and resume whenever, so Bloons was perfect.
I ended up getting a cutsman on my first run and it carried me through most of the game.
That was one of my favorite guns when the game was first released. It's amazing for pretty much everything.
Actually, you can farm mouthpiece right after the mission you kill him to get the nemesis, also why did you not use the tk waves anyways
I forgot about the turning in the mission part (and I didn't want to run though that level with only a sniper again.) As for farming TK's Wave, I don't know. I guess I should have looked at what Dumptruck dropped, cause I could farm him and the demoskags in the same instance.
I'm legit surprised You didnt farm the butcher. It's such a good shotgun and You can get it pretty early on, plus yo un get pretty Much infinite ammo lmao
i found legendaries drop like candy in BL3, kinda makes the game really easy, that and Zane, Zane is OP
That's just how the game works, sadly. Zane is also my favorite character, because he is really good, but he has a cool interaction between his shield and The Redistributor, which is my favorite gun and playstyle.
Weeey another video! Hope all is good brother 🙏
The DLCs are all going very well, the next video will just take a while due to the massive scale of it, thanks to all the DLC footage being packed into one video!
@@LookIntoGaming I can imagine, best of luck il be waiting for the next one :p
The trend so far is that (at least in some element) every video has gotten a little better, and I'm always super excited to make the next part!
Mayhem mode for the dlcs? It would make it challenging at least. Doesn't have to be mayhem 10/11 unless you do want to crank it up all the way.
That's the plan! I am going to have a different start for the DLCs, so I will start at a lower mayhem level, but I will see how high of a difficulty I can handle.
You can actually farm mouthpiece right at the start after you finish his quest he will drop the mind killer and a nemesis. The nemesis will take you past promethea on level 12 alone
I guess I'll need to check that out next run I do.
are you planning on doing the events (like revenge f the cartel and bloody harvest)? they have some of my favourite loot in the needle gun and ghast call.
Yes, in the next part I will beat all the DLCs and events with only legendaries.
This games biggest weakness, even worse than it's story is how easy it is
I remember the first time I beat the base game. I was using a pre nerf Fl4k tourge shotgun crit build. Tyrene melted to the end of action skill burst damage.
That build sounds awesome, I might have to try something like it, even if it was nerfed.
Amara is perhaps my second favorite BL3 character, but Moze is just bonkers lol.
Also they did Maya so dirty in this game, she's my all time favorite character because BL2 was my first game and my Maya build was just so broken I was keeping pace with my friend in his campaign and he was like a good 15 levels higher than me 😂
Zane is my favorite, mostly because he's so powerful, and chain Zane is my favorite build, but Moze is a close second, especially after they added Iron Cub. BL3's entire story is a tragedy, and it's all due to the Tales from the Borderlands game. If they just ignored that story and continued from the end of BL2, I think it would have been way better.
I think in the next BL game, they should go back to the BL1 legendary system. Make it so that most legendaries can drop from most enemies or loot sources but make the drop rate less frequent than with BL3. It’s the right amount of rare but not too rare. Oh yeah, they should also bring back pearlescents.
I think BL2 had the best legendary balancing, and I have no clue why they didn't add pearls to BL3, as they should have been as rare as legendaries on other games instead.
I love watching your vids
Thank you so much! I'm very glad to hear that!
Honestly a lot of the legendaries that aren't as good should have a different rarity like "false legendary" since they really aren't all that legendary.
That's the major issue with the gun balancing in this game. There are so many legendaries, that they all can't be good, and that's why it's a shame there was no pearl/seraph/effervescent weapons to give us some real variety in rarities.
23:10 STANDING HERE, I REALIZED IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY
The MGR:R soundtracks goes crazy over pretty much anything. One of the greatest game soundtracks of all time.
Why didn't you use the legendary toy guns you get for free at the start?
I kind of forgot those existed when I did this run. Those are what I should have used until my first world drop though, as that works perfectly in place of Shiv not dropping a legendary.
the yellowcake at least early on is broken since the projectiles split into 4
The Yellowcake is one of my favorite weapons in the game, and probably the only rocket launcher I really like. It's just annoying to obtain.
It removed the entire fun and excitement of getting a legendary.
I get a little excited when I see a legendary, followed by disappointment after I see that it's useless.
I remember on release day, I got to sanctuary and immidiately pulled a blackhole shield from a slot machine- I dont know if that was BL3 juiced rates or the hundreds of hours of not getting a single legendary in the BL2 slots
It worked well, since I did some weird double nova build with my clone as well
I've never gotten a legendary from the BL2 slots, and never played them enough in 3. I'm also pretty sure that the slots in BL3 can only drop rare and higher gear, but I have only done them a few times, so I more testing is needed.
Idk why people are always bashing Bl3, I love Bl3 it’s my favorite
It's honestly just the story. BL3 is the best in terms of actual gameplay and quality of life.
Actually the holy dump truck does drop legendaries I got a legendary shotgun from him once.
I forgot about that, and I believe it's T.K's Wave, and I definitely would have farmed it if I remembered at the time.
@@LookIntoGaming You're correct actually it is tk's wave.
This was a great video the only thing im wondering is that i was laying borderlands 3 and i was severely under leveled is there a way to keep that from happening
My best solution is doing some side quests, but farming has worked out amazingly in these challenge runs.
Ok thank you your one of my favorite bl2 content creators @@LookIntoGaming
That's so awesome to hear, thank you!
damn i feel bad gear box messed up ava's character so bad. and the thing is they planned for a scene that would have entirely saved her character for me which you can find in the behind the scene's in animation titled maya's funeral. litterally the only reason i like ava is because i consider what we actually get non cannon and this behind the scenes clip cannon
It sucks when something in a game is disliked, but a way better version is discovered in the game files, and we get to see what could have been.
Reminds me when at level 11 I got the moar lineag which carried me through the entire game when I first played it (I did amara untill the game hardlocked me and deleted one of the vault keys on the podium.
Yeah, it's insane how just a few legendaries can easily carry you through the story, it's crazy compared to the other BL games.
I like the legendary % it tickles my endorphin levels 🗿
It is hard to deny that dopamine rush I get from seeing that color and the sound effect they added.
18:30 you can actually use grenade splash to clear out all the marks because the AoE on some can be a bit funky hitting them all at the same time
That's good to know for sure, since I've tried grenades before, but I wasn't sure if it was luck or not.
I love the metal gear rising: revengence soundtrack
I'm glad to hear that a lot of people like it in the video! Fun fact: I bought the game purely for the awesome soundtrack.
My first playtrough on bl3 with all dlcs doing all the side quests once and only farming for a couple of endgame weapons i had so many legendaries that i hit the item limit on the bank with all the ssd. I have over 100 hours on bl2 and have never found so many legendaries. Alsso this game is the easyest in the franchise i managed to first try the raid bosses on mayhen 10 solo. I only ever beaten terramorohous with 4 players.
I remember doing this challenge. I spent a total of 15-20 minutes before I got a legendary. Wasn't even hard to punch my way to it. It's insane, and from there is was a normal playthrough. At least it's not like it was when it came out on Steam, where I have almost every single badass drop me a legendary, sometimes 2. One even dropped 4 at one point
Should probably add this: Note, I do not count dead-time for this (time spent where it's purely dialogue and/or cutscenes)
I knew BL3 was easy, I was just hoping that Shiv would drop a legendary, so I can start the run out with one. The only real challenge of this run was getting through early game with mostly the Monocle.
My go-to is the Night Hawkin, just like you, but once I get to the next area, I kill Skrakk. I'm surprised you didn't. Drops both a nice AR and a pistol. That would have made it even easier
I did kill the Skrakk once, but I knew I only needed the Night Hawkin, so that's what I focused on getting.
Fair. Maybe I should do this run and see how it goes
Unless they changed anything in the last 9 months you can actually farm Mouthpiece before the side mission. You just need to complete the quest first.
I would have to check that out. I've never farmed him, so I would have no clue until I tried.
@@LookIntoGaming I did it last week, not exactly sure where the trigger for respawning is, but it's either immediately after quest completion or a step shortly after.
I farmed for the shotgun just to find out it was kind of bad compared to what I already had.
For most bosses or quest enemies, you need to turn in the quest, then save and quit to reload the maps, then you can farm them.
