A few responses to common questions: I somehow missed the Stinger (mostly because I've never used Seraph weapons before), but I will do a short follow-up in my next video. I didn't use the Bee skin because I didn't have it, but I'm going to edit in all skins for future playthroughs. And I guess this idea is way more widespread than I first thought. I didn't use Hector's Paradise since I used it a bit in my last OP10 run, and I was going off of gun names. I got the idea when thinking of my last run when I was eating lunch. Also, I know all items aren't exactly "Bees", but they are all flying things that sting, so close enough. Finally, I wanted to make more bee references, I just didn't have the time, this video was late enough as is. But the largest thing I wanted to reference was the videos (and game) that I started this channel with: Bee Swarm Simulator. It's been years since I played it, but a re-visit could be for some special.
Just wanna mention, Zero can also slag enemies using the Death Blossom capstone skill in his middle tree. You can throw up to 5 sets of Kunai’s during Deception, and each Kunai deals a random element with a high chance to apply that status effect, including slag. It also applies Death Mark, which makes the enemy take 80% more damage from all sources
I completely forgot about that. I haven't played Zer0 in years, and I've been looking for a run to play him in, and now I'm disappointed in myself. I think he's a great contender for the VH for this run, but I would have to check his customization to see if I can make a beekeeper.
Thank you. I hadn't played him in 7 years at the time of making this run, and to make up for that blank, I played as him in the BL2 run right after this.
I believe you can put the stinky on any enemy, as long as you are determined enough. I'm also a massive fan, and you are the one who inspired me to make my first Borderlands video, so I have you to thank for a large portion of my success
Yeah, it is super annoying to rely on slag, but that's why I'm interested in seeing how TPS' endgame is because there is no slag in that game, so it's balanced differently.
I was hoping to say BEElieve at some point, but it didn't really fit very well. I wish I had more Bee puns to add, it would have been way better, I'm just not good at Beeing funny.
First of, fun commentary, keep it up! Second: I both love and hate how much I enjoyed when it gets so far that I hear "Hit em in the piston" in my head as I watched a Borderlands 2 video. My want to play this game again increases just by watching, wth xD
I think that's what makes BL2 the most popular game in the series. There are just an insane amount of possibilities in this game, and it's always cool to see what people come up with!
I guess I didn't look at the gun list closely enough then. It also doesn't help that I've only gotten 1 seraph before. As cool as it would have been to use it though, the Hornet was already eating tons pistol ammo.
@@LookIntoGaming for sure, the one thing it certainly would have helped with was the fact that it can come in slag (which might have made the run too easy). Either way, great vid, keep it up. :)
With the amazing reception of this run, absolutely! I have some faint ideas, and they would need testing to see if they're viable, but I have some other videos planned before my next BL2 run.
The Boss : I raised you, and loved you, I've given you weapons, taught you techniques, endowed you with knowledge. There's nothing more for me to give you. All that's left for you to take is my life. The pain:
You could opp out the jacket for the shock pistol variation of the horent in a lilith dlc maybe a a future re run of this run it has the same skin as the hornet so you could say it is bee based just by the skin
maybe being salvador coulda helped more with the challenge but bxtons build here was PERFECT and the gameplay was great but sal using 2 of the stinger pistols and the hives AND yellow jackets is awesome damage wise
ive always wanted to do this!! thank you so much! only gripe is u should call it the stinger build just so its a little more broad. and it sounds cool lol.
I'm glad you liked it! I honestly didn't know about the stinger (I somehow missed it in the gun list). It doesn't help that I haven't ever used Seraphs, but it would have been cool to try. I will make that up with a short bit in my next video.
What's this?! A challenge run of a 12 year old looter shooter that is entirely focused around the usage of bee-themed items?! I think my rocket launcher loaded with BEES aught to put a stop to that! If anyone actually gets this, I'll bee surprised.
Im surprised you didnt spec into holding more grenades, the firebee is very potent in terms of fire damage. Also the bee shield probably made this so much harder for you 😂 Axton's shield regen skills are finicky with amp shields. Most require actual damage / shield breaking to trigger properly.
I didn't do enough testing, because that would have been great for sections with flesh enemies. And I'm not sure what shields Axton works the best with, but I the Bee was going to be a problem from the first time I got hit.
I had this idea a few months ago and gave it a small attempt but gave up lol the only thing I did different was use maya because she has a “Queen Matriarch” class mod
Awesome! I have a ton of other runs planned, but I mix BL2 in with other games, to see what works. There will always be amazing BL2 content coming though!
Played bl2 enough to know that an under leveled bee shield and hornet with any character is enough to beat the main story ... the problem is when you start a brand new save ...the bee shield is such a late game item and the rng on getting it sucks.. but the hornet on the other hand likes to drop where ever ...the only legendary I've found more than once from a box or pile
No, it sounds impossible, I couldn’t imagine the little guys doing any damage to the warrior without being vaporised by the heat. Sad to see this, save the bees guys. 😔
That sounds like a super interesting idea, since shock weapons don't spawn at the beginning. It would also be a great run and excuse to finally play Gaige.
I thought I check the gun list closely, but I somehow missed this. It definitely works, but I have never used Seraphs, because I haven't beaten a raid boss in OP10 yet.

Can I play bl2 with you
"I didn't know what to put in the fourth slot"
>the stinger
Bxton calls the turret "honey" so it's still thematically appropriate 👍
It's a clear sign that it's been too long since I've last played Axton, because I don't remember all of his lines like I used to.
@LookIntoGaming hey wanna meet my gf a line axton says
I love Bxton

While it can slag, realistically the chances are way less consistent than the slag turret or like Scorn. Death Mark is nice though 👀
he's also great with the bee bc the deception timer almost always gives a free recharge
@@alexmacic5955 Death Mark is an absolute GOAT for me, such a great skill to have in any situation
@@juggftw4868 plus, you can use One Shot One kill combined with Bee and Deception on the Hive to get an absolutely BUSTED shot

AAAAA
The free flowing exchange between pronunciations of "grenade" is honestly the best part of this video
And this is me speaking to a mic alone. My speech has improved over time, but my crippling social anxiety is why I tend to speak weird like that.
Can we finally admit that slag makes borderlands 2 endgame awful and getting rid of slag was the best decision gearbox made
It being as hard as it is without slag is the annoying part.
BL1 had Corrosive, TPS had Cryo, and BL3 had Radiation, all of which acted as debuffs, but weren't nearly as mandatory as Slag is in BL2.
I like slag I just think they made it too necessary, I wish instead of radiation they just reworked slag in BL3
@@SayItWithASM woah a sane person!
Yeah, it is super annoying to rely on slag, but that's why I'm interested in seeing how TPS' endgame is because there is no slag in that game, so it's balanced differently.

That's awesome! I'm glad my videos are as good as LGM's! He was the inspiration for my first BL2 video, and the rest is history.
This is unBEElievable
I was hoping to say BEElieve at some point, but it didn't really fit very well. I wish I had more Bee puns to add, it would have been way better, I'm just not good at Beeing funny.
According to all known laws of Aviation, there’s no way a vault hunter should be able to fly…

Second: I both love and hate how much I enjoyed when it gets so far that I hear "Hit em in the piston" in my head as I watched a Borderlands 2 video. My want to play this game again increases just by watching, wth xD
Honestly it's probably the game with the most replayability in terms of stupid shit you can
So it's only fair to want to play it when watching a run
Thank you very much! I find it funny when someone quotes a character from this game, and I can just hear the line in their voice in my head.
I think that's what makes BL2 the most popular game in the series. There are just an insane amount of possibilities in this game, and it's always cool to see what people come up with!
Hectors paradise for the last weapon, its an rebranded hornet.
you could have used the stinger as well for your 4th weapon
I guess I didn't look at the gun list closely enough then. It also doesn't help that I've only gotten 1 seraph before. As cool as it would have been to use it though, the Hornet was already eating tons pistol ammo.
I was coming to suggest the same thing... Great minds think alike I guess 😃
@@LookIntoGaming for sure, the one thing it certainly would have helped with was the fact that it can come in slag (which might have made the run too easy). Either way, great vid, keep it up. :)
Wanted to mention Hectors Paradise cause it's basically hornet but didn't wanna sound dumb😂
1:56 In my opinion, Maya would have BEEn the best choice.
And she would have BEEn super fun to play, but I played as her in my last (and only other) OP 10 run, so I didn't want to play as her twice in a row.
@@LookIntoGaming makes sense
PLEASE keep making themed challenges, they're so good
With the amazing reception of this run, absolutely! I have some faint ideas, and they would need testing to see if they're viable, but I have some other videos planned before my next BL2 run.
@@LookIntoGaming Good enough, can't wait to see what themes you use to torture yourself next
Zer0's kunai in stealth also can slug from what i remember.
Unlucky, it was already mentioned.
I did completely forget that, but that is the best thing about comments, learning new things and being reminded about others!
"slag isn't necessary in op 10" - understatement of the world
"I will... BEE... playing" god fuckin damn it bruh why did that make me laugh 😂
Thank you! I really wish I had come up with more bee puns, but I am very happy with that one.
nobody is ready for an unprompted gauge OP10 run, its like dropping a bomb in the lap of somebody who just woke up and telling them to defuse it.
The Stinger couldve also maybe counted?
The Boss : I raised you, and loved you, I've given you weapons, taught you techniques, endowed you with knowledge. There's nothing more for me to give you. All that's left for you to take is my life.

All the BEEcause etc sprinkled in this video are perfection
Thank you! I wish I had a bit more time, as I wanted to add more bee puns, but I didn't have the brain power to make more.
Borderlands 2 but axton is incredibly *tickleish*. "NNOoooo. Don't tickle meeeee!!!"
These borderlands videos are getting more and more creative what
This video is certainly buzzing with activity
I really wish I was more creative because these comments are amazing.
@@LookIntoGaming your video's are entertaining and fun to watch thats creative enough
Aww, Thank you very much!
Hectors paradise as it’s a shock hornet
I dared gasmask666 to do that challenge but he never did yet. Thanks for doing it yourself, you deserved an sub
Wouldn't hectors paradice technically count as a shock hornet?
Face shot with a yellow jacket = awesomeness
It's even crazier that it was the only viable weapon for the challenge.
Constructors do have insane damage reduction against Grenades. They also cannot be slagged.
Oh yeah, that's the other main issue, and that's why they're so difficult to kill as Axton.
What a missed opportunity to name your character *Dr. Bees*
There were way too many name options, but NOT THE BEES was chosen because it's a Terraria secret seed as well.
I thought all the borderlands 2 runs had been done good job heheh well done sir
Thank you! There are still tons of items and combos that haven't been used yet, and I'm always excited to see what other people come up with.
This is actually a pretty Nifty challenge run
Hornets and Yellow jackets are wasps I believe but I would use the same equipment.
You could opp out the jacket for the shock pistol variation of the horent in a lilith dlc maybe a a future re run of this run it has the same skin as the hornet so you could say it is bee based just by the skin
maybe being salvador coulda helped more with the challenge but bxtons build here was PERFECT and the gameplay was great but sal using 2 of the stinger pistols and the hives AND yellow jackets is awesome damage wise
This dude make such good videos snd ngl i think he should have more subs
Indeed he should
Thank you very much!
ive always wanted to do this!! thank you so much! only gripe is u should call it the stinger build just so its a little more broad. and it sounds cool lol.
I'm glad you liked it! I honestly didn't know about the stinger (I somehow missed it in the gun list). It doesn't help that I haven't ever used Seraphs, but it would have been cool to try. I will make that up with a short bit in my next video.
I wonder how this would've gone with Maya and Scorn for slag, she has good crowd control too with her singularity phase lock ability
It probably would have gone like the last run I did, which was also on Maya, and I beat OP10 in the end with the Bee and Hector's Paradise.
Bees nuts
Alright, that made me laugh a bit. Old but gold reference.
The inquisition needs Beeees 😂
What's this?! A challenge run of a 12 year old looter shooter that is entirely focused around the usage of bee-themed items?! I think my rocket launcher loaded with BEES aught to put a stop to that!
If anyone actually gets this, I'll bee surprised.
I always wish I knew way more references, but it is pretty funny!
@@LookIntoGaming It's a Doctor Bees reference. You can still find the vids on RUclips
I didnt see a single bee, disappointed. I love bees, the collect nector and make honey. But didnt see no honey neither.
Fair point. My very early videos are focused around bees, and there might be another bee-related run in the future.
class mod also kinda looks like a bee hive so valid
Im surprised you didnt spec into holding more grenades, the firebee is very potent in terms of fire damage.
Also the bee shield probably made this so much harder for you 😂 Axton's shield regen skills are finicky with amp shields. Most require actual damage / shield breaking to trigger properly.

The Beekeeper Build 😂
All you need is hornet, bee and axton
Maya's skill "ruin" slags enemies, her melee override "scorn" also slags enemies
I'm more surprised you didn't use Maya for slagging enemies and grab a melee override relic for Scorn
I was considering Maya for this run, but I played as her on my only other OP10, and Axton is the only other viable VH that I felt comfortable playing.
It’s not technically one but could have been a fun play on words for the Rubi
I could have done that, but I used that in my last OP10 run, and I wanted to see how I could do with just Axton's healing skills.
Fun fact: In lore, the designer of the yellow jacket is colorblind so that’s why it’s blue and not yellow :)
I misread bees as beers and now I'm disappointed
Great video still regardless
Thank you! And that sounds like an awesome name for a Grog Nozzle run.
The bee joke is only funny bc hes cheesing at it everyte the whole video
Honey, that stings...
"slag isn´t necesary" in OP10? mmmm don´t know man

We have alot of bee items but only one "the bee"
wanderlust wouldve been cool lmao shooting bees everywhere
I recommend watching LilGasMask's streams to see why that is a horrible idea. That appears to be the worst weapon in the game.

Why not the hectors paradise? It’s a clone hornet but shock damage with a blade
This run was mostly about bee-named items, but I did use Hector's Paradise in my only other OP 10 run, and it was great to use.
Should’ve also used the Ruby
Nooooooo
Not the bees
Zero can also slag with his kunai.
And that's a clear sign I haven't played as Zer0 in years. I'm still waiting for the perfect run to use him in.

If you ever run out of ideas here's one can you beat bl2 with only electric elemental unless you've done that already

not using the hornet skin on your player is a sin
idek if it's still possible to get because it was a shift code item BUT CMON
