Intro Script For Algorithm Stuff
There are plenty of rare items in borderlands 2, a bee shield with good parts, legendary class mods, friends that want to play with you, the farms are endless. But there’s one type of item rarer than the rest, so rare you can’t even get it until UVHM, Pearlescents. Pearlescents are borderlands 2’s rarest type of item, and are questionable in terms of usefulness but are still beloved nonetheless, So I decided to try and beat borderlands 2 with only pearls.
The rules for the run are
1. I can only have pearlescent gear equipped
2. My action skill, stock grenades, and cars are allowed
3. Bar is turned off
Now I typically do all of my challenge runs in Normal mode where you can’t get pearls… at least not normally. There is one way however. If you win the jackpot on the tina DLC slots you have a chance at getting a pearl. - เกม
I watched this video while eating a tuna sandwich, the sandwich contained mayonnaise, canned tuna, garlic salt, and Cholula hot sauce. I had two tablespoons worth of daisy brand cottage cheese on the side with a glass of Indian summer brand apple juice as a drink. Thank you altered, this meal and video combo truly changed my outlook on life
Truly inspirational comment
truly a comment of all time
Who puts cottage cheese on a sandwich?
Gay
Best comment ever
The friends not wanting to play is the most true thing ever 😭
Bro really went there, very relatable for me
Yeah, I was just about to comment the same thing! 😂
Obviously it hits home way too hard
honestly man, it sucks so bad because i never got to experience BL2 with the bois like everyone else. I grew up playing solo or with my dad
Pretty much the exact same for me, my dad introduced me to the game and I loved it but my friend played it with me for like 1 hour and then stopped
I watched this video while committing grand larceny, loitering, holding hands in public and I am avoiding my taxes.
I can't believe you held hands in public
I can't believe you had someone to hold hands with
Avoiding taxes isn't a crime, it's an obligation.
Holding hand in public is an absolutely heinous act, though.
You should EVADE taxes WHILST holding hands. It’s abhorrent.
Donald trump that you?
sanctuary after lilith does /tp ~ ~70 ~500 gotta be the most fire map ngl
Is this the moxxi upskirt coordinates
Yes? @@snottytoe6957
Probably is
3 people in a discord call simultaenously playing Half-Life, Portal and BL2 is actually rad
You're going to ignore Learn 2 Fly? Not cool bro.
@@threemar3 I absolute and shamelessly will (no but seriously I didn't know what the game was, the 3 other games are among my favorite games)
Hold up you totally confused me when you said ignore the duck race game play lol
@@threemar3thats duck life not learn to fly
He was playing Portal: Revolution actually! It’s a fairly recent free Portal 2 fan game, it’s really good!
I can't tell whether you or Gasmask is more masochistic but I love ya both for different reasons.

The first time I had a hint I might be the type of people that fall into a downward spiral if I ever try gambling is that I sat in front of this machine for a solid day or two just to get a Pearl, the avenger.
Just stay away from casinos the way youd stay away from crack. It is very addictive and will ruin your life if you cant stop yourself
I've been farming them for two weeks for Seraph Crystals 😅 I've gotten four Pearls (Tunguska, Sawbar, Stalker, and Stormfront), and I just got 120 crystals tonight and bought a Patriot. Trying to do a Seraph-only Mya on Normal Mode. I would say, the slot machines in the Badass Crater Bar are the best source of Eridium in 'pre-game'. You can sell all the level 30 gear you get from Tina DLC and take the money to the bar. Good resource swap.
Caustic Caverns all day for fav LOOKING spot, love The Forest part of the playthrough and the climb up the mountain to the sorcerer
Same
This is my favorite map for that reason and the Minecraft Easter egg
@@zacharymartinez445you and me both dude, love the easter egg
I hate the map cuz of the crysalisks
Caustic Caverns has peak atmosphere
Arid Nexus Badlands, because BL1 was awesome, and I had nostalgia walking through the same area in BL2.
i loved arid nexus before i even played bl1
Feels like a second home
Now do it again as a one-life
I died to the tina slots so no
@@alteredfried do tina wonderland
@@alteredfriedyou’d hold a record tho 👀
Now do it in Borderlands 3.
I love that you can see both his friends tap out of their games to see what he is celebrating, when he gets the jackpot at 3.40
2:07 not only halflife AND portal, but also Learn to fly 2? You got hype friends
the fact that this game is 12 years old and still has such a dedicated fanbase and people still making content for it is insane, I love it!
*Laughs in TF2*
Controversial, but mine is Control Core Angel for favorite level. I was a Roland main in my first ever trip into the Borderlands, and watching him die ripped my heart out and set my soul ablaze like Lilith. Everything before didn't matter an inch, I had seen my hero shot in the back and disrespected and NOTHING from that point would stop me from killing Jack. In fact, my hatred carried so far as I personally killed Jack as EVERY Hunter, my favorite being Krieg as I finally had the chance to RIP AND TEAR THAT TRAITOROUS SLIME-
Sorry, I can't help myself sometimes. I actually love Angel, but I would kill her a thousand times over JUST to hurt Jack a thousand times more.
The borderlands psychosis affects us all in different ways 😔
But really, amazing job sticking through it all, it must have been brain-rotting to a degree I couldn't believe
I have never once seen any content you've made... and the fact I was eating nachos. I had to take like a solid 20 minutes to convince myself it was JUST chance lmao
2:16
I respect the 3 friends games pictured there.
Edit: Duck Life is amazing too.
i typed this exact comment before seeing this lol
Top right is Portal. What are the other 2?
@@Sol-Orion Half Life 1 and Learn to Fly 1
@@eddie_the_underlord_cow3459 thanks, appreciate it.
The video started being SUPER engaging after 1:55! Idk what it was but I just couldn’t stop watching, keep it up 😊
I like the RE4 shooting range music in the background.
lmao same, im literally playing re4 2005 rn and i heard it. what timing
I'm happy that your video randomly popped in my recomendations, it's a nice challenge run, and i was curious about how one's could do that. Kinda sad tho that the unforgiven is such a low tier pearl, yet i still love this weapon for that slow fire rate jakobs gimmick. Keep up the good stuff !
Not sure how I've never come across your content before but absolutely loved this video. Easy subscribe here! As for my favorite map I've got to go with Flamerock Refuge. The music is so distinct and unique from anywhere else in BL2 and I'll never forget playing that DLC day one when it dropped with all my closest friends. Hope BL4 can bring back the magic of BL2.
The op10 I challenge you to finish it without slag weapons .
A remaster of BL2 would be so sick. Add in climbing, sliding, etc, all the QoL stuff new borderlands has. Mmmm
Intrusive thoughts tried sneaking in at the grinder, great vid btw 😂
This video is really good man. Also your friends were playing some goated games
Bloodshot Ramparts is definnitely my favourite map. Lots of action, a bopping theme and the best of alll, toll guy. You got paay the troll toll. you BETTER pay the troll toll
I cant believe you'd do that to the poor Buzzard pilot who was just trying to enjoy a beautiful sunset ride >:(
Great video, I personally love the Wham Bam island map just because of how pretty it is
this is really good, you are better then the borderlands creators i used to watch, thank you for bringing life into a beautiful game who’s reputation was ruined by its own developer
"we got mitten squad at home* (RIP Paul) love this video homie, really reminds me of pauls old challenge videos for fallout
Call me crazy, but the Wildlife Exploitation Reserve is probably my favorite. The music and the overall scenery of the place is so beautiful.
Caustic Caverns. Something about that map is just really memorable for me, even though it’s really not that fun to do many times in short succession. Also completely optional.
i love how your commentary style is just you being flabbergasted constantly
I think my favorite map is a tie between the one where you have to fight Mordecai's bird as a boss and the one where you have to fight the Bunker, both the most infuriating and most fond memories of BL2, something that has to do with how long it took me to learn the fight's mechanics... fun
now do it with seraphs
I think my favorite map or location is the Three Horn's Divide. I like the snowy artic setting and the name of the location represent the three peaks that represent horns with the bones of remnant creatures of old.
Opportunity is pretty fun to run around in, also I just like fighting the Hyperion enemies more than creatures or bandits.
dragon keep is my favorite map, I liked the winged storm though, especially that hidden easter egg
All this power and he still didn't kill the bandits for Riess😢😔 justice for Reiss✊️✊️✊️
your reactions, especially when the game is being mean to you and bullying you; literally my spirit animal.
although southern shelf has captain flynt (my all time least favorite boss), and it has the claptrap getting stuck bug, its always fun going up the bridges on the boat as both a fresh character or even in tvhm when you get to test good gear on old enemies for the first time
bloodshot stronghold is always a remarkable map, immediately followed by bloodshot ramparts, which has the best ost in the game imo (tied with glacial)
Fav map has gotta be Caustic Caverns.
Either that or Eridium Blight. The missions there Handsom Jack gives you are some of my favs I think.
I nachos while watching eating
Your BL2 stuff is super cool man, keep at it
ive tried to get enough seraph crystals in normal mode to buy something using these slots. during my 4-5 hours of farming those, i got one pearlecent. a storm
also in the end you got a second wind on the warriors chest. the crit spots do that
My Favorite map has to be either Opportunity or Hero's Pass simply because of Hyperion and thier music- It's so good
It would be better to call this challenge "can i beat with (specific pearl)" that way whenever you got the random pearl from the gambling machine, it would be EVEN MORE RARE.
Though to ne honest, this video is more accurate as "Can i beat BL2 while being Unforgivable?"
By the time you get the pearl you're looking for, the sun will have overheated and sent cosmic rays to your pc, flipping the specific bytes necessary to set the warrior's hp to 1 so you can kill him with jump damage instead.
This run was basically "can i beat borderlands 2 as a glass cannon?"
glad to see this game is still going on
dude I love your videos, your luck is crazy
Your Hank Hill impression in the arena fight was perfect.
Very entertaining video 10/10 would watch again
I like how at 3:38 both of your friends alt tab at the same time to check your stream lol
Lol love the friends playing finals and listening to you suffer
The time I got hooked to borderlands 2 was when it had a free to play weekend like way back in 2013 or something, on steam. I wanted bl2 so bad after playing it for those 2 or 3 days. Anyways the F2P weekend came with DLC too Im pretty sure, and I remember going on tiny tina's DLC and getting a Pearl Stalker. It helped me when I was stuck on the Warrior
The mine under sanctuary is my personal favourite. Its a bit too big but otherwise has a good vibe
Caustic caverns is probably my favorite map
11:11 - I've always been trying to get crushed by the falling railroad which was always just pushing me away lol, haven't thought of getting hit by the train.
Also, my favourite map is probably Wildlife Exploitation Location.
If i am not mistaken those invisible things on the track are the other cars, hitboxes won't go away lmfao
i am actively viewing this player made motion picture gaming commentary while consuming a medium array of snack food.
very well edited. captivating
I’ve watched this multiple times and have just now realized that you can gamble with torgue tokens in the BCB so I vote you make a video of that. Although it will suck to do.
Literally LOL'd when you shot that long distance Buzzard out of the sky and watched the pilot rag-doll into oblivion lmfao
You can do it on the piston dlc as well on moxis slots, got my first pearl there
I feel the invisible objects part like no other, in my car and out🤣🤣 getting stuck on invisible edges is the bane of my existence
Don't know if you were told this but the second wind at 23:45, was for shooting the warrior's chest. Each of the four chest pieces can be used for a quick second wind.
P.S. Favorite map is either: Hero's Pass, Thousand Cuts, or Eridium Blight.
Challenges like this i could never do. I aint got time for that 😂
This is insane good stuff
I'm happy to have found another BL content creator. You and lilgaskmask are gonna keep me very entertained, so thank you lol
Favorite map has gotta be Digistruct peak for that banging background music.
Pyro Pete.
By the time I was ready to fight him and try to get Seraphim crystals, I tried it on the first playthrough. Not knowing you had to do it second.
After leveling properly, I finally fought him, had to cheese and finally won. Not knowing, the GBX took away Seraphim from the second playthrough and made it from the 3rd.
I just gave up at that time.
I actually did this when I was a kid to get the jackpot (I didn’t know what pearls were at the time) and after 40 minutes of quitting without saving I got my first pearl and I was so hype after figuring out what it was
Bekah is probably the BEST Pearlescent. It's basically a Jakobs that fires 4 shots at optimal range. Deals crazy damage if you can gauge your distances correctly.
I watched this video while fully consuming my meal of one packet of ibumie always mi goreng instant instant noodles, two taiwanese sausages, 5 cocktail sausages, 3 cheese tofu with a side of thai chilli sauce and homemade garlic mayo. Your videos are peak "eat while watching" genre.
That slot stream was really something
I actually had a level 30 bearcat that I got from the slots. It was still kind of bad because of the ammo issues, but at least it killed enemies
I think my favourite map is thousands cuts/control core angel just that area is awesome, well designed cool looking and houses an awesome character AND my favourite raid boss
Caustic Caverns is a goated map, always been one of the best completely optional areas in the main story
Tips for the quest where you have to get the things from the mailboxes and get them to Zed? I’m not a time traveler
Your friend playing flying penguin and then chick race brought so many memories 😭
that man playing flight hit me with nostalgia super badly
In challenges like this where there isn’t a pearlescent gear option, like shields and class mods, I’d allow normal ones. Usually non-uniques.
Maybe this would be a good place to ask since I’ve always wondered, what are the chances of getting a pearl from a normal enemy? I remember I was running through wildlife preservation and killed a regular engineer and they dropped a storm. I didn’t believe it at first and I’ve always wondered if that was my once in a lifetime roll
btw a real save spot for the warrior is right at the exit door, the lava doesnt go there and the warrior cant hit u with anything if u stay at the door
i once got a pearl from a locker in the wild life where that building with the slag capsule or something for tannis i was doing those little guy farms i had the screenshot on my old ipod
the tina slots have better odds! it's about a 1/1400 chance for vault symbols, so for a "full rotation" (spinning both slots) it should be about 700 rotations till you get it. still impressive under odds tho!
At the end of the fight against the Warrior you second winded from breaking a part of his chest :D
You’re the goat for this
i liked the parts with learn to fly 2 a lot. i had a chipotle bowl with Extra Chicken , Extra Pinto Beans, Black Beans, Brown Rice, Extra Cheese, Light Red Tomatillo and a side of chips and salsa and red tomatillo salsa
Some Source game (CS 1.6? HL1? idk tbh), Portal, Learn to Fly, Duck Life and Borderlands, you and your friends have great taste lol, specially that guy at the bottom playing flash games, tell him to get an AdBlocker tho
Anyone wanting some nostalgia and play some old flash games, Flashpoint Archive is the best way I think.
you can also get the pearls from the tina slots if you get the dice and roll a 19 or 20 if i remember correctly. i did farm them like this a few years back and got most of them. roughly every 500 eridium got me 1 pearl and i think you get seraph crystals for 17 and 18 to farm the seraph weapons if you want to. this is just from memory, i am not 100% sure
For the dice roll 17 is a purple weapon, 18 or 19 is seraph crystals, and 20 is the same as a jackpot
@@alteredfried This. It´s been a while. it was nice to have pearls in normal mode. at least those you can get from the slots. same with the seraphs.
this was a long watch,well felt like it
I remember doing a crap ton of gambling on bl2 with my friends while we waited for our 4th and i got a butcher from the slots i screamed lmao
I actually like the Fridge 😂
And Caustic Caverns.
Those two were amazing to me.
Fridge is great once you open all the side quest areas.
It insults me as I have spent many many hours using that damn slot machine. And I didn't even know you could get pearls from them.
When the cold silent accurate character type pulls a heavy juggernaut character type war cry, it's joever for the enemy.
I recently played hours of split Screen bl2 on an Xbox360 with my friend we mostly farmed in order to play the slot mashines. Eventually we hit jackpot and got a pearlescent but we didn't even know it was rare 😂
I was getting flashbacks from hours of leveling people with the norfleet in the bar brawl
heres this idea for pearls, op guns will be ultra rare and be earned by either rarest enemies or raidbosses, like the norfleet, (bl2 most op rocket launcher, you might aswell call it a BFG9k), bekah, unkempt herald, infinity, nukem (bl3)/worlds end, twister etc, thats just my opinion if you have favourite weapons or meta weapons you suggest to get an upgrade from rare-legendary to pearls, cus pearls are so ultra rarer than legendary, serpahs and rainbow (omgwtf boss made it super ez to farm pearls but if he doesnt exist, tubbies are your only chances of pearls)
Thousand cuts I liked bricks re-intro and the lead up to bunker and you get to terra from there
I actually kinda like the Fridge. It's relatively linear, the offshoot areas aren't immensely vast and don't pull you away from the main objective by dozens of minutes, and while Rats are a PAIN, once you can predict their ducks and aims, they're almost easier than other enemies (this excludes Labs, fuck Labs, never let them anywhere near you at all costs) to predict and become a whirlwind of sniper shots with 0 (same thing, right?)
Crazy how this was the last Borderlands game I played.
And based on how I see more BL2 content than any of the sequels, even in 2024, makes me think I didn't miss much.
