Road to Riches through Glitches in Borderlands 2

I am a guilty glitch aficionada; my shameless idea of fun is watching people exploit Skyrim on YouTube all day. My career as a Vault Hunter has temporairly stiffled my video viewing, though.

Naturally, Joe asked me to be his player 2. Let’s be honest; his generic Commando butt would be nothing without my Phaselock.

By the way, did you know some bloke already dinged fifty? I wonder if he pooped during his marathon, or if he even ate to induce said poop. I digress!

From what I’ve played, Borderlands 2 is as polished as a fifty hour game is allowed to be. In fact, my experience on Pandora has been near spotless; high-five, Gearbox! Too much of a good thing lead me to believe something fishy was afoot, however.

I scoured YouTube for a good lot of Borderlands 2 anomalies, and I’ve collected the most beneficial of the bunch:

“MakeSamichWoman” is the most original YouTuber handle yet, and the societal rebel in possession of it is clearly excited to show you a weapon duplication glitch. In the event you acquire rare pew pew, you know what to do; until they inevitably patch it, that is.

If you can’t be arsed to, uh, play a game you purchased to play, just repeatedly shoot up the same Psycho for a whopping 150,000+ EXP. As if I need another reason to call Tiny Tina the best character ever.

Excitable Joe accidently opened his precious chest in Sanctuary at the hilarious level of three; a loud curse and silent sob immediately followed. Luckily, infinite golden key tutorials are aplenty for console and PC people alike, although many have been reported as fixed. As a snooty member of the Premiere Club, go ahead and ignore this video unless “greedy Butt Stallion” is an accurate description of you.

Floating enemies and map glitches are among the less game-breaking variety. For those of you invested in Borderlands 2, let me know if everything on your end has been smooth sailing thus far.

Its a little stupid that for one of the major bosses (If you played it youknow what it is) you can just stand on the cliff and shoot its side untill it dies without even getting hurt

did anyone else notice some odd difficulty spikes in this game? i’m lvl 32, and have had no problem with difficulty until now. all of the sudden, i am getting killed in a few hits by enemies that are 3-5 levels below me. going by the leveling system these enemies should be a cake walk. the enemie scaling seems to be bugged, this never happend in borderlands 1. if enemies where lower than you it was easy, if they where higher they where hard. borderlands 2′s enemie scaling seems to not work correctly. loot scaling seems to be off as well. im lvl 32 and only lv1 20 stuff appears in the shops. leds me to believe scaled enemies and gear are currently bugged.

They’re working as intended. Loot in sanctuary shops seem to scale after you get done with a chapter in the storyline quests. Borderlands 2 difficulty is amped up because quite honestly, the original was way too easy. Most likely they made it so that you no longer did ridiculous amounts of damage to enemies lower level than you and the enemy’s are overall a lot tougher, though you’re probably around on TVHM right now and have already realized this.

Yeah, even in other games with glitches that allow this sort of thing, they tend to scale enemies to your level/power. Fer example, the original Dragon Age had an exploit that allowed you to literally buy your way to max level–but the game wouldn’t be done and enemies would scale up to your level, which in some ways actually made them more of a hindrance than they would be if you’d just played normally, as they would get access to higher-level skills and spells.
