Is it possible to beat Borderlands 2 as without walking? What if we tried it on a fresh character? What if we had to do it alone? 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, but In this challenge run, we try to beat the game with basic movement controls, WASD! Want to see me try this challenge? Comment below on what idea, gun, grenade, or even shield I should try next! Any gun, any idea, in any game (Borderlands 1, Borderlands 2, Borderlands the Pre-Sequel, Borderlands 3, and even Wonderlands!)

You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It's sad that you don't know the difference.

So a while back a homie by the name of oboeshoesgames created a video about all the reasons why you couldn’t beat borderlands 2 without moving. And that got me thinking, can you beat Borderlands 2 without walking, well yeah you can just sprint, crawl, or jump everywhere duh. Okay okay, let's make it more interesting than that. What if we didn’t have access to the four basic movement controls, WASD. Well in that case you’re still pretty much out of luck then, but there are still some loopholes we can consider. In order to succeed we will have to really stretch the definition of beating borderlands 2. My challenge runs are usually UVHM, OP10, geared runs, where I test the viability of many cursed and terrible weapons. So we could do it that way but the UVHM geared speedrun category pretty much already does this via double shot rocket jumping, they still do walk for parts of the run but most of the time they’re flying or spamming Norfleets. This also isn’t a freshly birthed character so getting to this max-level geared scenario would require a save editor or walking while getting your character up to max level. If beating the game with a fresh character is what we are looking for then a super easy, and in my opinion lame, way to do it is to play coop and have someone else do all the work. But there is a way you can create a “fresh” character and “beat” the game without using WASD in single-player. The quotation marks are there because this is where I really start stretching definitions. So the giraffe DLC came out and gave players the ability to create a new character starting at level 30. Each class also has a specific set of gear that is the exact same each time you create a new one. These characters ALSO start off at the beginning of the very last mission, The Talon of God. Ok ok, calm down If you wanna call me a cheater I have the whole “You cheated, you didn’t grow,” copypasta in the description so you don’t have to google it to paste it in the comment section. Anyway, Beating the game with one of these saves is a real speed run category, known as any% Boosted. We will be doing a modified version of that but don’t think this is going to be easy, we still can’t use WASD so this ain't no walk in the park. Well, it's not a walk at all actually. So, we set our movement keys to the arrow keys so we don’t touch them, pick Zer0, and spec into execute, and bam we can now dash towards enemies allowing us to move, easy right? Well not entirely, this is definitely a helpful skill but there’s one problem, it only works if we have a line of sight to an enemy, and since we need to go talk to claptrap first, we are pretty much screwed, but there is still hope! A level 30 boosted Zer0 starts out with a Rocketeer assault rifle which we can use to do this. (clip of bounce) Ok that was like 2 inches but if you chain them together you can actually get some momentum going, throw some grenades into the mix and we have a basic foundation for movement in this.
