Is it possible to beat Borderlands 2 with only the minimap? What if we tried it? Can we beat Borderlands with only seeing the minimap? 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 minimap! 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!)
When it comes to FPS games your hud can provide a ton of important information like telling how much health you have or finding your next objective. But how valuable is that information, do you really need anything else? Can You beat Borderlands 2 with only the minimap? The rules for this run are simple I can only see the minimap. and to make that happen I cut a mini map-shaped hole in the box of my latest monster shipment, and taped that to my screen. My webcam will also be aimed at the screen as proof that I cannot see anything but my minimap and Twitch chat. Also YOU SHOULD GO FOLLOW ME OVER THERE AND HANGOUT WITH ME WHILE I DO CHALLENGE RUNS! Anyway, you guys will be able to see everything don’t worry the video won't look like this, that’s my job to suffer through that. Anyway, This run will be different from my other runs because we are actually going to be doing this in normal mode as opposed to OP10. I figured the EXP farming and side missions I would need to do to level up might add a little bit more pizaz to the run. As for the character we picked, Gaige was an obvious choice with her bouncing bullets and deathtrap and what-not. So we started our run by following our seeing eye robot. Home before his eye got ripped out. great now we're both blind! Anyway before we took on knuckle dragger I had to get some experience and catch my bearings. So after finding the fast-travel I held up to travel to the giraffe dlc. Mordecai can kill some of the Dahl guys here and that gives us experience, you can do this multiple times as long as you save quit before the cutscene starts so let's stack up some early EXP. Anyway that farm is busted so plan B. I held down on the fast travel menu to go to the digistruct peak to open a door for which went surprisingly well. since I'm watching the footage I can see that we made it to level 4 but I had no idea at the time. We made it back to Claptrap and started following the SILLY SOUND OF HIS VOICE. Until the scary red dots showed up. after getting angry at a cliff my overlevled melee power took out the first batch of bullymongs. Knuckle dragger showed up, I absolutely trick-shotted his lil brother out of the sky, killed Knuckle Dragger, and started looking for claptraps eye. Luckily the minimap gives an objective marker for most things that we need to pick up so we had an idea of where to look. Items also make a distinct noise when their item card pops up in
Comment everyday under Gasmasks videos until he does a Bl2 Chopper only run. Day 343
(this will maybe be the last Video where I will have to comment These Chopper comments)
Dude, ARE YOU OKAY!!!!
It's CHOPPA TIME
PLEASE DON'T KILL HIM I ACTUALLY LIKE HIS VIDEOS
@@PiespysGasMask promised he would do it if BR could comment for a full year
@@OhCrapI_He at this rate he wont live till 30!
“Gaige was an obvious choice” my dumb ass was staring at psycho for like a fat 10 seconds before I realized you couldn’t see your choice. Well played sir. I laughed my ass off.
❤️
ok that’s funny
...it's not like he couldn't hear grunts (upon jumping or melee'ing)
Yeah, shame he picked Salvador instead. :(
not my un-intelligent ass not noticing it was, in fact, the psycho until he first used the action skill
Sorry I posted this 45 minutes late, I was having trouble finding the publish button because I could only see the minimap 😅
So you CAN upload a TH-cam video, with only the Minimap!
I'm no genius, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't gaige in the beginning 😱
@@Miyamoto_fettHe had trouble finding her and clicked Krieg instead
Funny you should say that. Thats how i play bl3 bc depending on the weapons u cant See shit
@@OhCrapI_He wait, REALLY??? 😱😱 I DIDN'T KNOW THAT 😱😱😱😱
Rhinoceros have notoriously bad eyesight, and their usually response to an unknown threat is charge at it. What I’m saying is that you’re literal playing as a rhino in this challenge.
Rkieg the Blind Physco
You have bad eyesight...
Why does it look like your profile has some BDSM shit going on? 😂
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Mad Mike watching a visually impaired man walk through the door he’s suppose to guard:
👁️👄👁️
🌚 basically he's in a horror game situation
i was expecting some kind of screen capture to show the minimap across the whole screen, but nope. mininap only means MINImap only.
The eye strain was real
If your crew is still together, I got a challenge Gasmask.
Can you beat Borderlands 2 as the Crimson Lance?
All Axton with the Crimson Lance helmet, Plus Skin Colors to match the elements
Pyro Lance = Fire Weapons only, Soldier class mod
Lance Shock Trooper = Shock Weapons only, Shock Trooper class mod
Chemical Lance = Corrosive weapons only, Soldier class mod
The Royal Lance/ The Slag Trooper = Slag Weapons only, Soldier class mod
Since the Atlas Corporation Weapons got removed, Dahl Weapons will do.
Weapons: Veruc, Emperor, Pitchfork and the Gwen's Head.
Equipment: Basic Dahl Shield, Bouncing Bonny, and the Vault hunters relic, The Shock Trooper has to wear the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
You know it's gonna be a banger of a vid when you just read the title and think "Oh he's actually lost it this time"
After all of the jokes about it, Subway Surfers and Minecraft Parkour finally made it into one of your videos. I didn't think I'd ever see the day, but it definitely added a corrugated layer to the joke.
😂
Krieg Mains are in fact, built different; however, I would argue that Basically anyone who's not playing a copy pasta Salvador has probably memorized their skill trees by this point. I think I can still remember almost all of Athena's skills.
Memorizing tps skill trees is the real flex tbh
Playing Krieg is super fun and super painful at the same time. It varies based on whether you're playing Melee, Hellborn, or some sort of weird hybrid build but you'll be spending a lot of money on respawns regardless 😂
All I memorized is that giving Wilhelm robot upgrades changes his voice lmao
the first and only time I played BL2 was a few years ago and I chose Krieg so I guess i'm a krieg man but I don't know shit about krieg's skill tree
@@TheVincenzoGamingIf you didn't get to the endgame, then you wouldn't need to learn anything about his skill tree, so that makes sense.
We not getting out of sanctuary with this one🗣🔥💯
🥵
@@LilGasmaskWhat the stinky is this
@@Wisesans he put the stinky on the comment section
My man pulled this off even though he was playing Salvador instead of Gaige. Bless.
Come one, he was clearly playing as lillith.
@@xenomorph6807are you blind, he's *obviously* Zane
@Glue_Eater06 Noooo i got it now. Hes playing claptrap. Its his ultimate that keeps switching his characters!!
This is clearly Winston
@@arkhane2495nah bro he’s using roland
Hey man, this video concept really blows a lot of expectations out of the water. The sheer perseverance to do a challenge like this is mind boggling, and the ability to turn it into a really entertaining video is incredible. Your content has really improved since the beginning and I can’t wait to see more.
❤️
So you have infinite dynamite.
-Yepp.
That deals shit ton of damage. More than big fancy guns.
-TURD bunch of damage.
And able to blow up everything round you.
-Boom, gone, yepp.
And you only use it as a last resort when dying.
-Yepp.
no way, video games have mechanics? that's crazy
"Can you beat BL2 without chat's help" - ruined it myself
Great run man. Hope to see more interesting and fun (pain) runs in the future. You're making me want to try doing one myself
the man, the myth, the legend, came to the comments looking for you
This gave me a idea of doing something similar but only twitch chat can see and help you, spamming left or right or telling you where you are, maybe you can also use the minimap and inventory but I think it’ll be interesting
Sounds like an easy way to get stinkied on
Using the menu to level your crosshair is really clever and smart. Didn't know that was a thing after almost 700 hours.
Everytime you upload I'm initially excited. And then i shrink into a fetus wondering 'WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF'
The evil smasher song brought tears to my eyes
Record labels been calling ever since
i literally subscribed as soon as i heard that beautiful serenade
24:50 jesus, that part is hard enough during a normal playthrough. Can't imagine what it's like during this
“Borderlands 2 but I can only put the stinky on enemies” sounds like an absolutely mischievous challenge run 💀
Brother took the « Badasses don't look at the explosions » to the letter.
Also it could do something with the very tactical nuclear missile run (Or pouring literal slag all over ourself for an entire journey throughout Pandora ) that left severe lasting consequences on our eyesight, but who cares? We have the minimap. And we are getting the W with this one.
Great video as always, love your content, unfortunately my guide doggy cannot find like buttons, so I'll return once more after my minimap installment surgery to finish this mission.
My man not scaling up the mini map is craaaaaaazy
inb4 Karl Jobst "This TH-camr cheated his borderlands 2 challenge runs, with transparent cardboard"
Nah I feel like Karl would know better XD he’s always got some great evidence for his claims from what I’ve seen
real
"As you can see in the video, the so-called LIL gasmask wears a regular-sized gasmask. Clearly a cheater!"
Just minimap.
Just minimap...
Just minimap ....
Also holy sh#t a gasmask run in NVHM, never thought I'd see that!

Playing as Krieg is living proof that you’re a connoisseur in the art of claparoni and cheeks.
The entire buzzaxe rampage at the end of the bunker fight absolutely took me out. 10/10 content 0/10 axes landed
The moment you Realize you pick a Nasty Surprise it's just so good 😂 By just the sound of it you knew it was Nasty 🤣.
I was hoping Wilhelm would thrown Injured Constructor at you, it would be hilarious.
I can't believe you saw Michael multiple times in one playthrough. It took me so many save quits to get that achievement.
That said, awesome run! I'm honestly FLOORED that you finished this. I straight up wouldn't have thought it was possible. Always love seeing your content!
my sleep schedule is so bad, i shouldve been asleep 4 hours ago...
but lilgasmask uploads are NOT something i am missing. *EVER.*
amazing vid as usual man.
If your up for ideas,
Can you beat fallout as a vip?
Similar to the sheriff idea you help, but it's as simple as you can rock it, vip can 2 guns, one being a pistol, and his primary can be a shotgun or smg,
His bodyguards can have 2 weapons that fall under 3 classes- one running a rifle and pistol, sniper and smg, shotgun and revolver.
Vip can not have a shield equip. Bodyguards can have anything they want
Vip can be any class, but probably someone on a weaker side for HP and damage output.
Everything else that isn't described and not outlawed, is fair game!
Probably on the ultimate mode, or standard mode- dlcs are optional
I see that you hearted this...
I think I may have just caused you a new level of pain...
Also for the rules...
Vip can have a revolver or pistol, but one of them must be a hand gun, and a different gun, no duel weilding,
Best of luck
Further up, could probably make it harder
If vip goes down, for any reason,
Could go back to the furthers back fast travel, or just straight up restart the run, full up reboot
Is amazing how well you played with cardboard blocking everything but the top corner minimap.
The only game I've casually speed run in my life, me and my brother played this game heavily at launch and BL1/2 are the one game we always come back to and just crush better and better each time.
Loved the run! The suspense, the laughter, the surprise at the end! You put so much work into each run and it really shows.
❤️
Dude I mean it when I say I love your channel so much. There’s not many challenge runs anymore and I just adore them. And you’re funny thanks for existing man
❤️
I am so excited to see this. I played a lot of bl3 yesterday and asked myself if this was possible to do. Legit 10 minutes later, I saw your community post on my feed.
Not done watching yet but excited, tysm :)
“After accidentally going to the Hammerlock DLC” why else does anyone go to the Hanmerlock DLC?
I just absolutely love that you still find absolutely bizarre new challenge runs to do in bl2. Kudos!
24:06 Could you explain why that shield was useful? I am truly puzzled, confounded, bewildered, dumbfounded, stupefied and flabbergasted on why that level requirement: 20, Smacki Maylay Shield could’ve been an iota of use to yourself.
It's useful because Gaige, the character used in this video, doesn't really get melee boosts, so having a shield that boosts melee makes her more versatile
@@tundcwe123 Oh I see know. When Gaige (the character seen used in the video) throws out her turret, it can now deal far more melee damage. Thanks!
I am crying at this, just the intro with the cardboard alone has me laughing so hard
you are actually insane, why would anyone ever do this
subscribed
Why?
Fun
🙂
thanks, I've been re-watching all the other challenges in preparation for this
The no BAR rule in any bl2 challenge run is always so funny. “If I had that 26% weapon swap speed this run would be too easy” … not just you mask it’s everyone and it’s hilarious
I mean.. you could also technically have +1000% bonus gun damage.
it took only 0:52 seconds for me to fall in love with this video
9:04 hell yeah, ravioli cam. Preemo content over here
Hey lilGasmask. Our family has been a long time channel watcher but first time commenting. We wanted to say thank you for all of the entertainment your special view on BL2 has given us. I played years ago and couldn't get past OP6 (maya) but with the kids help we have now beaten op10 on console. Seeing how you beat the game in so many different ways has been an inspiration for us to get through it together. Been a blast enjoying the time with the family and game! We hope you keep making great videos and know that us viewers are enjoying the ride along with you.
That means a lot to me homie, op10 on console is huge achievement and it’s awesome to hear that you have a whole family to do it with you!
At this point im convinced that in 10 years lilgasmask will do a blindfolded run of the whole game
I love how it's still so obvious how broken the skyrocket is before OP levels when it's already well known for being finnicky & easy to down yourself with even when you're *NOT* blind. No slag, resisted damage, bad fuse time, a weird arc on a grenade that can bounce back at you, with literal blindness, no problem; all of which still easily apply in UVHM. Having 3 nades down you and deal almost no damage doesn't matter if the 4th hits, because it's practically guaranteed to give you a second wind instantly if it's thrown roughly in the direction of some red dots.
Sarcastic Slab put himself into the clap trap.
Loved it bud, always hype to see your uploads. Keep it up
Got to add a good amount to my list of weird borderlands facts learned from your masochistic challenges. I never realized pausing leveled your crosshair like that.
this is one of the best videos you ever made imo! glad to see your content is still fresh and fun to watch as always
Obscure Borderlands knowledge but in the claptrap DLC in BL1 there is a cave maze section where the map screen is a giant question mark. Pretty sure that’s impossible to beat minimap only.
Okay, velmas glasses challenge. A layer of vaseline on the screen, and a pair of glasses with vaseline smeared on. Chatters can help by paying 1 dollar to give you 1 minute of play without the glasses. Idk if you have subs that pay, this is my first video ive ever seen by you. But when you said velmas glasses, it made me realize how badly I want to see a "main character badly needs glasses" run of just about any game lmao
I was zoomed in on thr mini map lol 😂 wanted thr true experience of what you were doing, great vid and dont know how u have the effort and confidence to keep doing it
I’m just stubborn 😂
@@LilGasmask Ty for replying:)
I've seen so many of your crazy challenges but this one was just absolutely insane! Nice work
Shoulda used the chopper. Accuracy by volume. Would have smashed all the evil!
In this video Krieg goes in a vicious rampage because he's angry that he turned blind and accidentally saves Pandora on the way.
Damn, whenever I think that a video must have been the peak of BL2 runs, you publish another banger. Honestly one of your, if not the best video! (Now do OP10)
❤️
The editing and storytelling was really good. Clearly a lot of effort went in. Job well done
the creativity and self-punishment are off the charts
love your videos, this was a great watch as always, thank you for your creative output and also suffering at this game made of day old ramen
“Oh no! I didn’t pick Gaige-I picked Salvador!”
I have been watching for a while, and have indeed seen this video already before, but just felt like I needed to say it;
Your channel reignited my love for Borderlands, and I have been playing the games again a whole lot.
Coincidentally, the movie also affected my feelings for the series, but not in such a good and wholesome way...
You should do a roguelands, the mod that turns borderlands 2 into a roguelike, challenge run one day.
I got to beta test roguelands and it is so freaking fun 🙂
Man, the last time i looked at your channel you had half the subscribers you have now, you gonna hit 100K in no time at this pace
and it means...the Wanderlust run is even closer
It’s so funny that you thought of opening and closing the inventory to centre your aim instead of using aim assist to snap onto enemies lol
This is like watching a game journalist playing a video game normally
Great run! here's an idea that I'm curious about, how about a run involving the Evil Smasher; since it has the reload glitch of giving +800% to all the base stats?
🤫
Congratz on such a challenge ! I got bored to finish Borderlands 2 back at the time, and you just did it practically blindfolded xD
Can you beat Borderlands 2 as Tiny Tina (using only the Teapot pistol, Boom Puppy assault rifle, Cobra sniper rifle, Bunny rocket launcher, and the Fustercluck grenade mod)
Can you beat Borderlands 2 using only The Landscaper shotgun?
Might be my favourite video of yours! The commentary was peak and it's so insane to play the game that way
This is what it looks like when game journalist play
Lilgasmask666 suffering for 22 hours summarized into 44 minutes
Queenpwnzilla wishes she could do this.
Show 3rd monitor😂
You should do this challenge again, but in Borderlands 3. Then you you could have the "guess the legendary" since they show up on the minimap.
A couple of fun and painful challenge ideas I have:
1. Can you beat Borderlands 2 with only the Mad House?
2. Can you beat Borderlands 2 with only the Dahlminator?
3. Can you beat Borderlands 2 with only the Bonus Package?
4. Can you beat Borderlands 2 with only the Rolling Thunder?
5. Can you beat Borderlands 2 with only the Hellfire?
4:53 i am surprised that you didn't know that you can melee the lock off, it has a HUGE hitbox too.
I knew that but it totally slipped my mind
7:50 bro got so lost he went back a game
Dude, your videos are such a blessing, I always end up laughing my ass off
❤️
@@LilGasmask ❤️
Bro is the most hardcore borderlands 2 player ever
Gasmask pfp is kirby IN A GASMASK? all this time i thought you were h20 delirious
9:03 you have amazing eyebrows
❤️
Listening to this video in the background while driving really enhanced the experience
I always love seeing your videos gasmask! Much love! Thank you for posting another run!
When i first saw the community post i legit thought mini map as some gun and googled it cause ain't no way someone will be crazy enough to do something like that right?
Double Garold Salvador:
-Oh, i thought everyone in late game oriented only by minimap....Because when i start shooting i don't see shi....
This is genius.
(But also you couldve just used windows zoom instead of forcing yourself to see a 100x100 pixel grid lol)
Poop
Forced my friend to watch your nukem video, they ended up binging all of them. They don’t play borderlands.
❤️
YOU CRAZY F***! I LOVE THIS!
For some reason I thought you’d found a way to kill enemies by opening the Minimap lmao, was not disappointed amazing run and display of skill
Not the smoke alarm sound at 34:30 cry 😭😂 🤣 😭 🤣 😭
Didn't know Gasmask had roots in Africa.
The second I heard masked dedede i was prepared for violence
That one and meta knights revenge are my favorites
absolute madman
🤪
I've memorized Zero's skills. Ah, fun times sniping those bandits in the assassin state. Fun fun 😂😂
39:34 This song could very well be in Adventure Time
Honestly that is such a compliment thank you ❤️
I love this dude. I was wondering where hes been?
We should Map this down as a moment in history
(ba-dum tssss)
I honestly think Axton would be solid for this using a grenade build
Nah because then you don’t get melee and that doesn’t require ammo. Skyrocket 1 shots things anyway
@@LilGasmask exactly
Unbelieveable accomplishment 😮 excellent video
