The Longest Tourney

Borderlands 2 Gameplay Discussion (Spoilers!)
#1

Hello everyone. I would like to introduce you to The Longest Tourney. Why the name for it is The Longest Tourney? Because it will be set of various challenges in Borderlands 2 for every character to do them as long as possible. Some time ago I did the 4 minutes and 12 seconds long Deception as Zer0 in Pete’s Bar :

It was Time Trials Run and I’ve used OP0 gear on OP0 difficulty. So I was thinking for how long it can be done on OP8.

1st challenge for ths week will be Longest Deception.

Each run it will have punctation which will put you on specific place. The higher place for each challenge the higher general punctation. After all challenges we will have the winner with most points.

General Punctation :
1st place - 100 points
2nd - 50 points
3rd - 40 points
4th - 30 points
places from 5th and below - 20 points

Run Punctation :
2 minutes long Deception - 100 points ( additional 30 points for every 10 more seconds in Deception)
1:50 to 1:59 - 85 points
1:40 to 1:49 - 75 points
1:30 to 1:39 - 65 points
1:20 to 1:29 - 60 points
1:10 to 1:19 - 55 points
1:00 to 1:09 - 50 points
50s to 59s - 45 points
40s to 49s - 40 points
30s to 39s - 30 points
20s to 29s - 20 points
10s to 19s - 10 points

General Rules :

  1. No Badass Rank(BAR) so we can make it fair.
  2. No exploits or glitches e.g. weapon merging.
  3. Voice and game sound must be hearable - this is to avoid cheating by using 3rd party stuff to reduce game speed for example. You can still add some music if you want to your run but all other sounds from game must be hearable.
  4. No Unoffical Community Patch and/or other 3rd party softwares.
  5. You can upload your run anywhere you want as long as its watchable and everybody has access to it.
  6. All gear and spec + No BAR must be shown at end or begining of the run.

Run Rules:

  1. Time starts when you activate Deception and ends when leave it - either by Zer0’s death or by not extending Deception.
  2. At the start or end of the run you must show that Tier 3: Rematch Bar Room Blitz quest is active - this is to make sure you will have maximum amount of enemies spawns in Pete’s Bar.

I will share savefile for this run(in PC format), just in case if someone wouldn’t have specific gear for this run.

In this savefile you will have Zer0 ready in Pete’s Bar with various gear. Preferable shield for this run is Love Thumper imo, but if someone is so Godlike to use Hide of Terra in such long Deception then go for it! :))

Post your runs here in this topic. Deadline is Saturday 26/11 before midnight which is 11:59. In Sunday 27/11 next challenge will be presented and overall punctation with certain places.

Good luck and have fun!!!

@Sun_Tsunami brought this to my attention. The original post got buried in an ocean of other posts and I missed it. I couldn’t miss this opportunity to get my Ninja skills up :

I’ve manage to do over 1 min, but I’m still targeting at 1:30 to 2 mins. I was using OP6 Shock Fastball. Its always strip enemies shield and nonshielded enemies leave close to Killing Blow range. Its much easier to get above 1 min with it(at least for me:) Maybe this tip will help also you guys.

I’m trying with OP8 shock fastball with the seraph relic. Strips just enough, thanks. Bruisers or Crushers still need some work. I think I’m going to have to time them with a shot of kunai, fastball then killing blow. I’ll be up late looking for that minute.:sweat_smile:

Have fun with the tourney guys! I think I’ll pass. I tried and it messed up my hide of terra strip timing a bit. Also messed up the feel of my execute distance XD. I got longer than 1:30 though using slag nades and might of the seraphs relic so that might help you too.

Thanks for the tips guys! I tried again last night but always get stalled by the Bruisers. Using a seraph is something I never would have considered, but obviously a BoA is pointless, so why not?

I’ve been using the seraph relic. It’s minimal in melee damage, but every bit helps.

Yeah, I’m hoping I can get a 1 minute run without those guys. I’m praying to the RNG gods

I don’t know how much more time I’ll have to work on it so posting this for now. Will update if I get a better run. Starting at 1:38

Run Punctation :
2 minutes long Deception - 100 points ( additional 30 points for every 10 more seconds in Deception)
1:30 to 1:59 - 50 points
1 minute to 1:29 - 40 points
30 seconds to 1 minute - 30 points
below 30 seconds - 20 points

I think it’s a bit late to suggest a different point system lol but just my 2 cents.

Above 1min runs are not that easy so I would adjust the run punctuation from every 29-30sec down to just every 10sec:

for example:

1:00-1:10 - 45pts
1:11-1:20 - 50 pts
1:21-1:30 - 55 points

every 10sec, every 15sec /5 pts, 1 pt difference or any or something like that just to reward those who get past 1min mark.

Just my opinion though! not my tourney :smiley:
And I will post my above 1:30ish run to support you bew :wink:

If you did over 1:30 then you should definitely post this run. It would be to longest Deception on OP8 so far. And ok I think that punctation can be changed for more competition reward :smiley:

Nor I … :slightly_frowning_face: … I did manage to up my above time by about 5 seconds though.
I gave up on the fastball tactic - that requires a lot more practice - and we all know what a master fastballer bew is.
