I think this run proves pretty decisively that comfort of use goes a long way toward public perception. Is the Ahab good for damage? Apparently, but it doesn't feel good. Also, it's wild that Bloons TD is arguably the reason Borderlands has Gearless OP ten. As is often the case, you're an inspiration, Miq.
I guess that's the thing about the Ahab, it genuinely does not lack damage. The problem is that it's a weapon that demands precision, gives you none to work with, and limits your ammo to fail with. It feels like the antithesis of a rocket launcher, but it at least does good damage. Almost the same applies to Axton, in a way, except he's not even bad, he's just good in a game that is balanced around being ridiculous. Good run, always fun to see a script that had a lot of work put into it. I look forward to the next crossover. Maybe 'Can you beat BL as Pat Fusty' with just butt-slams and melee in the Pre-Sequel. Don't really ever see enough Pre-Sequel, despite it being genuinely quite a good game.
Well, the Ahab performed much better than I thought it would. Side note, considering the Ahab fires literal harpoons, you'd think a unique effect for the launcher would be that it could crit!
First monkey i always start with is engineer monkey. And axton is my favorite character. Its like this challenge was made for me. Speaking of challenges. Beat the game with crits when you drop one you cant pick it up again so you have to start the game with a stockpile of them
I didn’t realize this video was posted so soon until looking at the comments. Your content only continues to be peak! Thank you for becoming a content creator 🙏
The 12 pounder is very similar but I like it SO much more, not for axton mind you, but Maya! She can do the vacuum phaselocky and when the baddies get pulled in they linger in the sky for like half a second and the TINY aoe actually can hit more than 1 at a time and it makes it feel so crunchy and happy. . . . but don't do that as a solo run, as fun as it is, as soon as you hit a boss you're going to cry because youre playing maya with a launcher. BUT AHAB IS CUTE TOO I LIKE THE SINGLE TARGET LAUNCHERS MORE THAN I HAVE ANY RIGHT TO
Wizard monkey next? Mia with thought lock for tge necromancy of course the magic missile and fireball maybe the pyro launcher and flame of the fire hawk
I feel really bad for not knowing Axton existed, the way I found out about his existence was through BL3's thing that had him and Salvador in it. I found out about his existence through the 3rd (4th?) game despite the fact I also played the 2nd!
I love how after that discovery with bertha the first challange run each borderlands youtube does after it has to mention it. Nice running joke honestly.
Don't listen to the pisswizards. Axton is a pimp. I have got him, Sal, Maya and Gaige up to max level. Whilst mobbing, he feels just as good as any of them. Hes got great defence, reload speeds, can use any weapons, free slag etc. Alongside Maya, he seems consistently strong throughout, not reliant on gear or build too much. Plus he slings out Hiroshimas, and Grit compensates for my shitty aim.
Which monkey are you going to do next?? If you haven’t already been doing it, (or did it and just not edited it yet) then my vote would be for Tack Shooter. I don’t know which shotgun to suggest though. Something with low accuracy, or any shotgun and play Gaige because Anarchy to reduce accuracy….
Wizard monke next? Hellfire halitosis krieg(middle path) with magic missile(top path) and fire spells from tiny tina dlc(middle again) i dont think necromancy is a feature in any bl2 item so no bottom path representation
funny how everyone hates Axton when he was my first character so i chose the hardest playthrough first and when i played every other it was a cake walk since i was pretty skilled from the first 3 hard runs

When you consider it's made for hunting whales, the lack of precision isnt really issue.
Well, the Ahab performed much better than I thought it would. Side note, considering the Ahab fires literal harpoons, you'd think a unique effect for the launcher would be that it could crit!
Crit amd maybe pin(massive slow on hit)? Single target is real bad for a rocket launcher
axton haters when gaige exists
If anything Axton is too strong
Don't you go talking shite about my girl now!
@@kikiyatman try any OP10 boss without anarchy lmao
@@Methinks168 oh I absolutely will not 😂😂
@Methinks168 with glicthes sure, otherwise nope.
Every borderlands streamer always shitting on my boy axton 😂
He's kinda OP
I mean, TBF the Ahab does more damage per shot than the Badaboom. And I'd argue that single target damage makes it a good deception breaker for Zer0.
That's fair, but considering the rarity/price of rocket ammo I always thought a single target rocket launcher was a dumb idea. I was wrong lol
Did you go to M.I.T (the Monkey Institute of Technology)? Cause your engineering skills are bananas.
First monkey i always start with is engineer monkey. And axton is my favorite character. Its like this challenge was made for me.
Speaking of challenges. Beat the game with crits when you drop one you cant pick it up again so you have to start the game with a stockpile of them
25:21 someone said in chat "I dropped a water bottle on my stomach" now I wanna know the context for that
Had a stomach ache and was using a warm water bottle to help and dropping it certainly did NOT help
@miqueagul lol in that context I don't expect it to help
First I get to see you finish the Scarlet DLC as a pirate on stream, now your an engineer? A man of many hats i see lol
I'm like a boat mechanic
He's making Johny Sins competition
Pistons blimp is a BAD (didnt know it was immune to slag)
B.a.d
Its immune to slag afaik so itd be a bad
@@dodojesus4529 ohhh i didnt know it was immune to slag

19:34 i'm 99% sure it's the once and future slab mission
just got up to the part where he says it on that mission. hell yeah, i got it right. go me.

THE FAULT LIES WITH YOU, AXTON!
YESSSSSS, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Krieg is going to make a wonderful Tack Shooter, and Gaige will be a fine Dartling Gunner one day.
I feel really bad for not knowing Axton existed, the way I found out about his existence was through BL3's thing that had him and Salvador in it. I found out about his existence through the 3rd (4th?) game despite the fact I also played the 2nd!
Always happy to see an Axton playthrough
Curse you BAYLE!
Yeah Bayle is kinda the worst
Didn’t actually know it was like that in BL2 but
BL1 killing your car for intuition speed boost was just second nature when armoury and craw farming
I havent slept in days
Well you have to stay awake for at least another 37 minutes and 14 seconds
Ahab?
🎵When you cant even say, my name
Has the memory gone
Are you feeling numb
Go and call my name🎵
Hell yea, been waiting for this ❤
This is the earliest I’ve been to one of your videos
PURSUE THEM TO THE END!!!! THE FAULT LIES WITH YOU ISHMAEL!!!!!
I love how after that discovery with bertha the first challange run each borderlands youtube does after it has to mention it. Nice running joke honestly.
11:45 me when a thing is in a particular spot
I like that you overwrote the entirety of the bl2 story with moby dick, a story your audience is much more likely to know inside out than bl2.
TBF, Glue Gunner top path is bananas…
20:14 ive been saying it for years and no one believed me
6:16 most accurate BL2 gun
The crossover i never knew i needed 😅
Can bloodwing get slagged? Well jack manged to, so i would assume yes, but sense this game is coded by a potato, i dont think you can
I want to see you beat bl2 as a wizard monkey now using only the fireball grenade and taking thoughtlock to mimic the resurrection abilities
Ahab; assigned He-Man at birth, gotta be one of my favorite genders
criminally underrated
1:40 dark souls
13:58 dark souls 2
i think axton is the second best vault hunter. after seeing all those guys speedrun raid bosses w him
Midnight Star boomerang monkey
Do a run with the Bunny next, so you can truly decide which one is worse.
The bunny is 100% worse, but it's a run that might happen
Oh my God
He actually did it
I'm so happy
Thank you for this, Miq. maybe now i'll be "cursed" with pretty much only getting the AHAB instead of the Dart or Spiker
I prefer the original title, it has so much pizazz ✨️✨️
The legend is back! Also what's that game below the description lmao
Don't listen to the pisswizards. Axton is a pimp.
I have got him, Sal, Maya and Gaige up to max level. Whilst mobbing, he feels just as good as any of them. Hes got great defence, reload speeds, can use any weapons, free slag etc.
Alongside Maya, he seems consistently strong throughout, not reliant on gear or build too much. Plus he slings out Hiroshimas, and Grit compensates for my shitty aim.
That PugNick24 guy sounds pretty cool, jus saying, also hi Miq
Missed opportunity to call pistons blimp a MOAB
rocket speed ahab is just the skewer from halo
No one caught the world drop Sledge's Shotgun? 22:05
Boomerang monkey next⁉️⁉️⁉️
not enough blinding flashing as the dart gun 0/7
I'll do better next time. "Can I Beat BL2 As A Strobe Light" Flame of the firehawk only
i have played this game fo years but did not know this launcher exsisted
Which monkey are you going to do next?? If you haven’t already been doing it, (or did it and just not edited it yet) then my vote would be for Tack Shooter. I don’t know which shotgun to suggest though. Something with low accuracy, or any shotgun and play Gaige because Anarchy to reduce accuracy….
Probably sniper or boomerang
Wizard monke next?
Hellfire halitosis krieg(middle path) with magic missile(top path) and fire spells from tiny tina dlc(middle again)
i dont think necromancy is a feature in any bl2 item so no bottom path representation
Maya
More Video's - Yippee !!
funny how everyone hates Axton when he was my first character so i chose the hardest playthrough first and when i played every other it was a cake walk since i was pretty skilled from the first 3 hard runs
Yeah he's my favorite. He's super strong
@@miqueagul my favorite thing about axton is spam throwing grenades its so fun watching all the grenades destroying health bars
Shouldve used maya for cleansing foam
Well I think this is a no brainer next vid you gotta do sniper monkey
honestly this seemed like one of your easiest challenges
First darts and now engineer monkey
There are a few more planned if people like these
@@miqueagulI like these please keep suffering for my amusement
ITS ALWAYS THE BEST DAY WHEN MIQ DROPS A VID!
Edit: are you going to go live today miq?
THANK YOU ALSO HI I HOPE YOU GOT MORE PEARLS!
BRO THANK YOU MAN, I ACTUALLY DID I GOT TWO MORE LOL, MIQ LUCK IS REAL
@@VoidEdits-k7c Also yes I'll be live today
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Didnt even kill terramorphus...
when miq uploads we shall watch
Thx for this vid, i will try this myself
I'd wish you luck but you probably don't need it :)
@@miqueagul with Anarchy Gaige max stacks the entire run >:)
Dartling Gunner with the Chopper when
I think you forgot to alch buff your engineer
Can i beat borderlands 2 as mobie-dick's nightmare
world drop from the constructor 22:02 I can't tell what it is
that looks like sledge's shotgun, unfortunately it seems to be slag? If it's shock it could be good
He’s alive
Allegedly
Ok but hear me out, pirate ship monkey run and just use captain scarlet DLC pirate stuff
I kinda did that, but instead of scarlet stuff I used the Jolly Roger
ahab limbus company /j
Do bl2 as TF2 mercs before fishstickonastick does it.
I love claptrap ;(
🍖
Food
🪿
That ain't a goose
Short answer: No
Because Engineer Monkeys are not in the game and most importantly you cannot play as one
I'll find someone to mod the game
@@miqueagul I wanna throw darts andtridents so bad
like actual throwing not through a gun that shoots them
@ Tediore?
Why are people still hating on Axton, he is very strong and way more fun than Maya and Gaige.
He's actually kinda OP
Only 2 views in 22 seconds? bro really fell off
Honestly washed
