Enjoy these pro gamer strats. Who am I covering next?
Maya please!
@@duskess6411 Hmmmmmm
Zer0?
you should do gaige
Krieg please, i'm playing with him now, first time using XD
I'm ashamed asking this, but till today I don't know how to play with Sal. Would you mind if you could create a video like this, showing the tips for our beloved little raid boss?
I'll be making one for Sal too, but I will be focusing on the pro strats and not the various glitches he can do
@@Joltzdude139 Thanks Joltz.
General rule of thumb: anything that will help you pump out more bullets is good. Being able to gunzerk in FFYL is a must past normal so you don't end up wasting your action skill if you go down in the middle of a fight. Pick complimentary weapons with roughly the same accuracy unless you are abusing red text items. More firepower is good, but a lot of it can be negated if your two weapons have wildly different spreads that don't overlap. You usually only need one slag weapon in the pair, and if you don't want the grog nozzle the rubi at 12% health return applies to your other gun and grenades, too (and good before lvl 30 so you don't even have to go in to Assault on Dragon Keep to get there). While it's not usually the preferred strategy, if you spec in to the brawn skill tree (especially if the community patch is being used) and put adaptive shields and a health relic on Sal, you become unkillable until UVHM.
@@Joltzdude139 can you show weapon swapping can never figure it out on console (ie lady fist grog swap)
@@wherethetatosat i havent ever leveled him since level 50 was the max level, these are really good tips
As an axton main i can give a tip, if you don't have maglock and you have longbow you can throw the turret very high so that it will take a very long time to deploy. You can use this to get the second wind trick very consistently by throwing it out early and taking the down before it reaches the ground, it will still count.
Can also use this for infinite Battlefront...
And here I am still on my Xbox 360 stuck at level 61 cap enjoying the game everyday, still. Stay safe vault hunters. Thanks Joltz for learning me a thing or two about my favorite character from this game!
I have a x box 360 to never been online on borderlands 1 and 2
I always thought that Axton was underrated. He's not as stupidly OP as someone like Salvador, but still a lot of fun to play with the right build.
i think many people underestimate how powerful his tediore weapon throw builds are, they are so damn broken
@@trythis2006 while true, the _build_ is broken, not the character. Krieg can do all kinds of nonsense with basically random gear, Salvador is Salvador, but Axton needs a few specific items with a specific build to be insane.
I think the main thing with Axton is people assume that he's terrible because his raid boss ttk is lower than most of the other vault hunters... and that's kind of true. Outside of the ones where you can tediore chuck, (which krieg even does better than Axton, it's just much harder to set up with Krieg) Axton really struggles to kill other raid bosses, and is only really comparable to Maya in that aspect, which people will argue Maya is still better because she can play the support/nurse role and is really good at mobbing. (which to many's surprise, Axton is arguably better than Maya at) With all that in mind, I can agree with the people that argue that Axton, all around, is arguably the worst Vault Hunter. That doesn't mean Axton doesn't excel at anything or do some things better than other Vault Hunters, and it doesn't mean Axton is bad, by any means... it just means that Axton is just barely the least broken character in a game where every character is broken.
@@trythis2006 the problem is Krieg's tediore build has a higher ceiling than Axton's, Axton's is just more consistent.
@@aluminumtarkus I use Axton for raids he’s elite bro, he can demolish Hyperius Terra and Pete with ease. But there are better options tbf
Borderlands 2 has been out for 10 years and I'm still happy to see a guide video.
As a Axton main, I didn't know you can get a second wind from his turrets. Thanks for the info Joltz!
No problem
How do you comment before the video releases?!?! Is it like a twitch thing or something?
Im an axton main... hes stupidly underated
@@tannermorgan9796 members get videos early
I already love playing as Axton just cuz the intricacies of turret placements along with his snappiness, but that clip of just casually waltzing through the Beatdown was just hilarious
Axton was my 2nd BL2 character and I never changed after that, the turrets are so darn useful
A good trick for Axton is if you have a Fastball and a Grog Nozzle (or any slag moxxi gun), spec into Do or Die. When down, hold out the Grog, slag an enemy (on higher difficulties) and when you kill an enemy with the Fastball, you'll get out of Fight for your Life with full hp.
For anyone that doesn't know, if you are playing in a co-op game as the off host (aka someone else is hosting the game) you can get infinite speed with expertise. Just aim down sight and use your drop key to drop the gun while ADS and you will permanently get the speed increase of ADS. To my knowledge there's no cap on it and you can use it to zoom across any map.
Now that you mention it I recall Spiffing Brit making video about it
For anyone trying this, you need to aim down your sights at a weapon that's already on the ground, then hold your interact key to pick the weapon up directly into your hand. Having a drop weapon key on PC will greatly speed up this process as this stacks near infinitely.
I believe this was patched on the PS4/XBox One versions, ie. The Handsome Collection.
"For anyone that doesnt know, heres a glitch that was patched quite a while ago"
@@possiblyivy726 this still works on current patch PC version
Wilhelm. Always loved his character in Pre-Sequel which is underrated in my opinion
As an Axton main since day 1 of release, I absolutely love this video. Thank you Joltz!
Axton has been my favorite character. Love the turrets. Fantastic support character which are the ones I mainly go for. It's all about the team
I'm really excited for videos like this, I love learning ways to best use the characters from the master himself!
Joltz's videos are just the best, they either make me smile or teach me something I didnt know. Always just the best
I am so hyped if this you manage to make one for every VH, the amount of knowledge and little things you know about the Game helps alot of people!
Love the video. While some I knew, it was nice to see others I did not know about, and have everything in one video. Keep up the great content :) !!
Hey! I’m so glad you’re back, I thought something bad might’ve happened, but thankfully you just got laser eyes now. Love you! Keep up the great work!
how fitting you Post this while i am rewatching your Gunless Axton Playthrough, and Axton was my first VH to UVHM too on the Switch Port of the game
Would love to see more of these, for all characters. Love these types of videos but i hope play throughs come back too eventually
Joltz you should totally do one for all the vault hunters!
I'm super glad you made this. I'm taking forever on my first Axton playthrough.
I've been doing a Malian axton playthrough so a video like this is very appreciated
So nice to have you back joltz❤️
Glad to see you posting again! Would love to see a zero build because he has so many different ways to build him and want to see how to optimize them!
Yes, everyone please. I've enjoyed your ultimate series for those stats as well and having them compiled will be really helpful once I can get back to playing
funny story about the turret aggro- you can use your turrets to aggro Pyro pete and Maya can actually heal the turrets. So as long as your turret is tossed right in front of pete and the siren is healing the turret Pete doesnt even focus on the vault hunters (to the point where he even stops his DoT attacks because he is constantly meleeing the turret) and you can really cheese the fight from there
Always enjoy your videos been playing for almost a year now and I’m so invested
i dont play borderlands 2 anymore as much as i used to but i always love watching your videos. and i love learning new things ive never known from my time playing the game😆
Thanks for this! I'd love to see your take on the rest!!
I literally learn how to best play as the characters by just watching joltz. Even his skip and speed strats
As a long time Krieg player, I'd love to see your tips for Krieg! Super hype for that vid! Love the content Joltz!
Flame of the Fire Hawk, Fastball, All Moxxi's weapons, Rough Rider(actually more than the Flame unless mobbing). Blood Twitch and Bath always, Fuel the Blood buffs Buzz Axe Bombardier, when doing Silence the Voices, swing camly and try to do 3 swings and than change to throw, you can reset your cooldown with teslas(under level preferably so they don't down you), since you need Flame to fully recharge and Krieg makes the delay longer, a good way to recharge Flame is swap to a shield with faster delay and tankier, than you go back to Flame and it will be full, good option is Blockade. There's nothing much more I can remember, it's pretty much "play as best as you can" try taking advantage of his kill skills, by having a ton of swap speed, reload speed, and gun damage as long you do a splash kill...
I been here since your first Krieg Playlist and love being here and love your content love to see more and hope you are doing great brother ❤️❤️
I'm really liking these new, informative style videos
I REALLY like the idea of this type of video. I don’t know how to play with any character other than Sal. This idea was awesome.
would love to see more of these tricks joltz !
Thanks dude. My last run was with Axton before I got a bit bored with it and switched to Krieg (which I'd like to see you do more videos of) but I might get back to Axton next!
Love the video. I will definitely watch a guide for all the characters.
Great video. Saving it to my favourites!
As someone who plays the game casually these were really cool to know. Would love to see more from the other characters.
Hey, I actually knew something from this video! lol. Please do more. This is great.
Great videos. Gaige and Axton were my favorites with krieg as a runner up with Axton. Believe it or not I didn't know the sky rocket scaled lol
I mainly play Axton and couldn't figure out why my grenade build sucks. Thank you for giving us tips. This will help a good deal
A nice surprise today. Love the idea of these videos.
Axton's my boy! Thanks for the tips, didn't know any of these.
Awesome tips & tricks video! Personally I'd like to see some strats for just general gameplay as far as when you get to UVHM what you should be farming for & the best ways to farm for said items because once I get through TVHM, my gear drops off, I can't get any damage from anyone & I've just never been able to get to the true endgame content of this game so I just stop & do a new character playthrough because I'm not having fun anymore after that. Any sort of T&T videos you would do for that would be a massive help! Thanks & I appreciate all the hard work you've been doing for this franchise. Any chance you'd do a similar thing for TPS?
Glad to see you posting more, always love to see BL content and id like to see Maya next :)
Perfect timing. Just started my 1st tvhm with axton
glad guiles theme stuck thru the years, like a fresh hit of nostalgia
This is much appreciated Axton has always been my favorite character in BL2 but it's so hard to play him compared to Sal, Maya, or Krieg
Harder than Krieg? Well I guess Krieg heals all the time, but the setup for that doesn't allow you to kill raid bosses usually...
@@Cuestrupaster I find Krieg more engaging late game than Axton, Tediore chucks are nutty but not engaging. Leveling 1-80 Krieg is wildly easier even the early OP levels Axton struggles.
Love this idea joltz!
yo thanks for the tips on axton really helped me
I don't know when you will return to the challenge videos, but god knows I'm ready for it all. I always rewatch your old videos for nostalgia 🤣
that lyuda sound, so soothing!
Loved the video, Joltz, i'd like to see 10 Krieg strats cuse I love that character
Appreciate the care that goes into your videos. I genuinely learned 2 new things from this video even after 1000+ hours Maya next?!🤔
Broooo I would love this for other vault hunters this was dope
I just picked up the Handsome Jack collection and am running Axton now. This is just in time
Great content, Jultz👍👍
Love it ! Good idea to do that kind of videos. Cheers from France Dude ;)
I like these kind of vids hope all characters get covered
joltz you neednt ask us if we want to see more videos like this, i am personally in love with you and watch everything ❤️
I would love to see Gaige, besides the anarchy stacking you can do with her.
you really can’t do anything. shock build is pointless
Besides Anarchy stacking for Shamfleeting mobs and speed of movement for farming, I struggle with her on OP10. I've Shamfleeted with 600 stacks and still couldn't kill OP10 Terramorphus from ten feet away. She couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo at 600 stacks - not even with close enough. There must be some tricks to utilize for her at OP10 that I'm not aware of.
@@godsstruggler8783 Shamfleeting is terrible for raid bosses, you'll kill yourself before the boss, shamfleeting is only really good for mobs...
The best Tip I have for her is try using guns that doesn't have a normal bullet pattern, or that naturally bounces so it doesn't get reduction from close enough skill, your best choices are: Ricochet Fibber, Twister(this is a pain to get but the best shotgun for her), Blockhead(amazing but only fire), Norfleet(it's more for mobbing than bossing although is overkill, or for second winds). Other popular options are: Topnea(easier to get than the Norfleet and more ammo efecient),Hive(it homes), Slagga, Pimpernel(point blank), Interfacer, Conference Call(best indoors), and then some guns that goes under the radar: Octo(although after 150~Anarchy it gets kinda meh), Omen, Dahlminator(uses a lot of ammo and only corrosive), Rail, Leadstorm, you can even use Madhouse indoors with her, but still not as good as the other options...
@@fulltimeslackerii8229 Except it's not. Sure it could be buffed, but not having to switch weapons in mixed enemy maps is a beautiful thing.
This would be a great series. I've played these games for years but I barely know the mechanics
What a nice video, Joltz. I just think about to start a new Axton.
Great video. I wanna see stuff for the rest of the VHs
8:02 You are one brave man for doing this. Kudos to you.
I love the self turret kill skill trick so much, I can basically become a car at any location with +6 onslaught class mods, so hilarious
As a Zer0 main I'm really excited for a Zer0 video, might learn a new thing or two besides the decepti0n animation cancel
Would love to see a new Ult Axton op10 build :D
Aw man, I'm gonna have to reinstall BL2 now. So much for getting anything done this week.
I'm currently doing my first Krieg playthrough. He's my last character I haven't done. I'm getting very close to the end, like I just picked up Uncle Teddy when my power went out today for hours. So I know I can beat the warrior with the lady fist, but I'm having trouble doing much gun damage as I speced into the middle tree first. The melees are sick, but kind of tricky to implement some times. So I'd love to see some Krieg pro strats, don't see many people playing Krieg on here.
I'm an Axton main and only knew 4 of these. Kreig or Maya are my next choices. Just started playing with Sal, not too sure I like him but need a vid on him. Gaige and Zero I definitely need one as those are outside my playstyles
More of this content. The algorithm demands it!
Hi Joltz. No idea if you check old comments or not, but I'd really like to see a detailed video (Maybe you already have one) on setting up Axton for really big damage with Tediore reloads. What makes him go from pretty good with certain guns to killing raid bosses in seconds? Would really like to know the details of how to set him up for that. Thanks for considering.
This was awesome! Please do Krieg or Zero next
I'm loving my Krieg. And his grenades are so much fun. Run into melee throw grenades everywhere. Loot more grenades use your action skill if you are running low on health, repeat. But he's a bit dependant on good grenade drops to pull off the trick as if you don't kill a foe per grenade you run out of steam and have to kill your way slowly through the foes till you can afford to swap back to a Tourge gun to swipe some quick kills with explosives for more grenades drops. But 4 skill points for infinity grenade drops is hilarious fun. He really needs a lot of health Regen to sustain his playstyle though. So I usually run a lot of transfusion which deals damage so slowly. I should probably try find a better leveled fastball and practice some more.
Yes im interested into seeing more for example one of these for every character xd
Hope you do Sal or Zer0 next! Thanks for the tips Joltz
I would really love another one of these for Maya or Zero. Tried my first uvhm save as Zero but I wasn’t sure how to keep up with gear going into uvhm. Didn’t help I accidentally got a lil over leveled for the gear dropping.
100% using that Bee farm tip. Preciate that.
Also, this would be a cool series to see covering ALL borderlands games
love your videos! I have a theory that makes sense to me. Folks haven't found a glitch with axton because people don't tend to play him. My vote is you play him till you find glitches lol
I’m a lifelong axton player, and I always appreciate new/cool strats.
i just checked my notifications and saw you uploaded and i had to watch this even tho i cant play bl2 anymore CURSE YOU PS+
Great idea for a video. Would love these for everyone in BL2!
The zooming during ADS is one of my favorite Axton tricks, it's so funny to imagine how that would actually work.
I'm always gonna have my eyes out for the Krieg one, and I hope there's stuff for raid bosses cause god I suck at raiding with him
Freakin love your work brother. Making a tip video for Maya would be awesome..... thanks brother.
A Krieg video is mandatory. Jokes aside, a Krieg video would be much appreciated. He’s quite difficult to play in UVHM and any tips would be appreciated.
Hello mr joltz thanks for the tips was really helpful,i was wondering if you are going to start any playthroughs soon I really miss your playthroughs,but I understand if you are burned out of the game , much love hope you have an amazing day and sorry for my bad English.
Even tho I knew about these strats, I would still like to see other parts of this series.
When playing Axton in co-op with my buddy playing Maya. I perfected the art of double nuke crowd control. Forcing groups of enemies into a small area and using a singularity grenade to keep them there. This tactic makes Rabid skags a joke and can push/pull enemies out of cover and into your Kerblaster.
Thank you for your work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was a great video. Could u please do another run, haven’t seen one in a while
You keep creating the exact content i want
Do Krieg next! Love it dude!
the laser sight skill, at least i remember demonite saying so, does what it's supposed to but it may slow the turret's tracking down. the turret is plenty accurate on its own though so the 1 point strat is really all its good for.
This video was awesome. Please do Krieg next.
