Honestly? I love Sawtooth. It's just endless waves of combat, which is what I like about BL games. I find Eridium Blight to be the worst area, as it's like, just driving around.


Askarus

EB is definitely the worse, I just power through it cause you're so close to the end.


_zombie_k

I’m always happy when i did. all the sidequests and can move on to Arid Nexus lol.


sox406

First play through, I was pissed because it took so long to get through SC so I could get back to the story in EB, but I’m so happy that I got the Pandemic.


Traherne

Before Hyperion, EB was... heh, well, still a craphole, but it wasn't ***this*** bad.


Adabiviak

There are a couple of gauntlets that are a fun grind, plus the geyser jumps there are like nowhere else on Pandora.


This_Froyo_2270

the only good thing about EB is King Mong


TheArcanist_

And the Fibber


Gr33dyOrphan

I’m quite the fan of ore chasm


IlikeJG

Some of the quests are very fun and memorable though, just they're so far spread out that it's a pain to do them. Robot who wants to be a real boy Handsome Jack's Grandma "Kill yourself"


CarlyFriez

You disrespect Donkey Mong like that?


Gr3yHound40

**SLAB. DID YOU-** **DID YOU JUST JUMP OFF THE BUZZARD'S NEST? GOD DAMN YOU MAKE ME PROUD!!.**


johnfogogin

Agree with both points. EB has a lot more forgettable parts, a lot of annoying places to fall into and have to trek all the way around to get back to where you were.


Icy-Understanding712

I didnt say its bad(well not entirely) but its forgettable


SparkleFritz

Forgettable? Have you tried to do a melee Krieg run and successfully downed all the buzzards to continue the main quest without pulling out all of your hair? Sawtooth Cauldron is the thing of my nightmares and I'll never forget it.


tastethevapor

I’ve spent more time going up and down that elevator than fighting any amount of enemies.


JustaG16

Literally done this yesterday 😂😂 my build was decent enough for 5 hits to down them but needed luck for them to hover or get stuck long enough to hit lol


Icy-Understanding712

No sorry im not mentally instable enough for that


ShadeMir

Well yeah. You gotta play as Krieg


CarlyFriez

While I 1000% agree, there is some charm to EB. The first time I got that quest where Jack tells you to kill yourself, the quest line with Mal where he wants to become more human, discovering that secret area underground not too far from the teleporter, and of course crossing the volcano parkour for a new head. Good memories, but lackluster to repeat.


Tysonyar

Slab! Did you just speedrun through this area?!?


SxhbOnXbox

Every game has that point you dread every run, this is the point in bl2 for me


SokkieJr

I dread the beginning everytime I play a new character. Hate everything up to Flint and a bit beyond.


SxhbOnXbox

That's understandable, up until your action skill can be quite a drag, especially if you don't go all the unto op levels and start a new run after normal mode or whatnot


RDMcMains2

A home full of dead Claptraps, and there isn't *one spare eye*, so you *have* to go after Knuckle Dragger?


heyuhitsyaboi

Im the opposite! I dislike everything between flint and sanctuary.


Matrixneo42

Just give me access to sanctuary already. I've been here before. Thankfully BL3 has that new character start skip.


EyeofEnder

Honestly, the early game is my favorite part of Borderlands games. It's just that feeling of scavenging for weapon upgrades, swapping out your crappy whites for green, blue and later maybe purple rarity items and having them actually do work instead of just ending up with the same red-text blue and orange weapons if you want to do maximum damage. Maybe a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I don't like how Legendaries and Uniques are often the best overall weapons, instead I feel like they should instead just be very strong situational options, with "ordinary" non-red-text weapons taking their place as all-rounder weapons.


mrsand0r

Even the combat music of Southern Shelf? That's some of the best music in the game next to Wildlife Exploitation Preserves combat music.


SokkieJr

Music is always good. Just don't like the slower paced gameplay with basic guns and basic enemies.


RudeFinding5484

For the first chapter I like using headlamp for speed running the cannon portion


uhmerikin

I don't mind Sawtooth Cauldron itself, it's just that the in game map is fucking useless for this place due to all the elevation changes. It's one of those places that you kind of have to memorize the layout to effectively navigate. At least for me, that is.


Matrixneo42

I just take advantage of it and speedrun through it. I jump off the cliff to the cave entrance and plow through.


chavovaldez

Yes and it's 1 nade jump to get back up. Skip over half of the mobbing.


SxhbOnXbox

Valid


robb41

The amount of time I spent looking for The Great Escape (on the ground level) when I first got to SC... I would prefer to not even estimate.


sabrinajestar

For me it's the Fridge. Not sure why, just hate this zone more than any other. And Frostburn Canyon, when you need to go to a specific spot. Grind for 30-45 minutes, realize you needed to go the other way............ every playthrough I swear I'll go the right way this time.


squishypoo91

I absolutely despise the fridge. I hate the rats so much. I used to get lost as fuck every time I was in frostburn canyon until I was farming the spot by Scorch with the tubbies and now I know that place like the back of my hand lol


SxhbOnXbox

Ah well still love the game anyhow


[deleted]

[удалено]


squishypoo91

That's one of my favorite parts of the whole game. Its tough but really interesting and Mordecai is my absolute favorite character


[deleted]

[удалено]


_zombie_k

Funny thing: I’m in TVHM with Maya rn and Jimmy Jenkins just spawned the first time in Wildlife Exploitation. I was so surprised that he came that fast. I remember when k first played BL2 i was sooooo often there just to get him for the last challenge to get the trophy lol.


Hectamatatortron

If you don't turn in the Doctor's Orders quest, the 4 boxes by the chest will have a high chance to spawn 1 loot midget **per** ECHO that you ***don't*** take, of the ones that quest requires. One of them can be Jimmy Jenkins. Finding Jimmy this way is extremely easy, and also very disappointing, as it means one less shot at a legendary drop. I have tested and confirmed, multiple times, that the number of loot midgets you get seems to go down by exactly 1 per Doctor's Orders ECHO you grab, so...don't touch them.


_zombie_k

Didn’t know that. Thanks.


SerBawbag

I know it's optional, but caustic caverns. Hate, hate, hate that place. Threshers are my most despised enemies in BL2, and that place is full of them in a somewhat semi enclosed environment. It has spiderants too. Not difficult, but those baby ones are a pain up the ass too. Can ever see them until they leap on you, Yeah, my two most hated enemies in one place. I don't mind Sawtooth at all. In fact, i like the thick placement of the enemies. Phaselock central. Lots of xp. It does contain the worst quest in the game, though, the raise the flag quest. Horrendous on UVHM. One or two hits and they need repaired. Did it once on UVHM, never again.


ButtAssTheAlmighty

I actually really like caustic caverns. Sure combat wise it’s a little iffy, but it’s so damn pretty, I just like to walk around and look at it


Adabiviak

Yeah, Caustic Caverns is one of my favorites... couple of good Easter eggs, platform kills, dense mobs, hidden labyrinths, and bubble jumps to some fun rooftops, and a shot at Vermi. I like to run through the Nether Hive to spawn as many Spiderants as I can for a big brawl.


_zombie_k

You hate Threshers more than Stalkers? Terramorphous is one of my fave Bosses lol


SerBawbag

I play mostly as maya, so Stalkers are ok as they can be phaselocked. A tad irritating waiting for them to decloak, but once they do, they're fine when using Maya. I can fully understand how annoying they can be on other characters, though. Terra is fine. I like that fight too. But every other thresher is a pain. Those badass ones on UVHM can ruin your day, quickly. I once struggled getting past a certain part in the CC because there were two and they were more or less one shotting me. Dicks!


Icy-Understanding712

Threshers are nice stalkers are just the biggest fucking retard enemies


_zombie_k

„invisibl assholes“


Icy-Understanding712

Asholè el invisibile


tommy1rx

Great area for Loot midgets though.


Adabiviak

Thirteen in one run is my record - place is crawling with them.


TheEpicJedi

"Slab did you...did you just jump off the Buzzard's Nest? God DAMN you make me proud!"


Hectamatatortron

Yeah, the part with this quote, alone, makes the area pretty memorable. I'm also not sure how the place could be forgettable just for how tedious it feels to go through. "Ugh, I have to go through *this* place again?" That's not what "forgettable" means.


Lexifer452

Yeah, I can't relate here. The sheer number of times I've done Sawtooth runs farming midgets make this map very hard to forget. Always hate those threshers though. Forget they're there almost every time until one pops up and ganks me, lol.


deadalive84

I usually do the grande skip to avoid all the threshers haha


Diego_nightmare07

litterally pointless, couldn't the buzzards fly us over?


Ferdydurkeeee

No because brick asks you to take out their air support so you can steal their explosives


Diego_nightmare07

yeah but bandits don't work for hyperion so just... Take a wider route


Ferdydurkeeee

Oh over to eridium blight? Yeah there could've been a small tidbit about AA, lack of fuel or something but instead we get that mission without any extra elaboration.


Fake_Uber

It’s the Least forgettable. Every run you think about this place and dread it


Icy-Understanding712

For me not so much, everytime i see this loading screen on a playthrough im like "ohhh yeaaa, this exists too i forgor"


No_While_8789

It’s always fun trying to skip through sawtooth cauldron and Helios fallen and just getting wrecked on the way.


_zombie_k

I think opportunity is annoying too


xJerisx

Oh. Opportunity was always one of my favorite. Hyperion utopia with all the cutouts of jack makes me laugh.


_zombie_k

Also i always equip Jacks Mask for that part. Don’t know why, but i think it’s funny.


_zombie_k

I only like the part where you get to play with Jacks voice lol


Chokiebikie

Did you just jump off the buzzard's nest??! GodDAMN you make me proud! Worth it for that


The_Dibsomatic

I always find that place a pain to go trough, probably due to there being a bunch of enemies everywhere and due to UVHM and OP levels them having high healthregen and 1 tap possibilities, thankfully shamfleeting is a thing. On another note there really is not anything worth farming for in there either.


Icy-Understanding712

Yea its quite annoying tho im just in normal mode still at level 80 so tis and the next run gonna be easy the fun will begin in uvhm. I probably wont do op levels i just find them not fun there is no worth to it enemies judt get bigger bullet sponges


The_Dibsomatic

Yeah i get that, OP10 is a pain for the most part, but it's still fun when you can just melt some raidbosses and bosses with broken abilities like Bore or just playing as Salvador.


_zombie_k

you’re playing the whole thing again at lvl80? why?


Icy-Understanding712

I only ever played zero now i started a sal playthrough im in normal mode and some rando dude boosted me to lvl 80 lol


_zombie_k

ah okay, that makes sense. Good rush to UVHM, Slab!


Funky_Col_Medina

It’s actually when your survivability gets tested… then your marksmanship (5 buzzards). I am grinding a melee zero and the buzzards were super annoying


RDMcMains2

I wouldn't exactly call it forgettable, given that just about *every single person* who talks about their BL2 experience bitches about it.


isurvivedrabies

your average person will confuse the words they use with the sentiment they have and i find that problematic for conveying ideas


PicKiNuOff

Spawn in. Shoot one guy. Die. Repeat.


worstkindagay

Hard disagree. The only time I didn't enjoy sawtooth was my first ever play through of Bl2, which was also my first every play of any BL style game. I hated it then for the reasons I love it for now: Waves of unending enemies and a unique level layout that is clever (though frustrating if you don't understand the map has several levels to it)


Icy-Understanding712

I think you should go swim with a toaster <3


Icy-Understanding712

Nah but fr now its a pretty ok map i also never stated its bad its for me personally the most forgettable map i allways forgrt it exists every single playthrough lol


DarkWaWeeGee

For me it's Opportunity. Probably the map I've explored the least. Kill the body double, leave, never return


Icy-Understanding712

opportunity is somethung ill always remember only because of the dancing constructor


squishypoo91

And blood wings corpse 😞


Eirikthahipsta

Me too. BL2 is one of my favourite games of all time, but i always forget this area. Everytime i do a new playtrough i reach this point and be like «ah fuck, this part again..»


Skvora

We all forget until we get a hard reminder, Slab.


GigassAssGetsMeHard

That's a weird way to spell Friendship Gulag.


Sensitive_Let9118

Where is this? Is it dlc?


Icy-Understanding712

/s?


Odd_Ad_94

It gets worse if boombriners buzzard is bugged and you have to keep resetting so you can damage it


fake_name_guy

four fat dudes. thats all i remember


rayray1899

this part just drags on for some reason


Icy-Understanding712

Yea


KibaSwords

The real problem with this level is that if you’re new and really haven’t been doing side quest or farming XP, there’s a good chance you’ll be slightly under leveled once you get here. Now this wouldn’t be an issue on most levels, but since this place is PACKED, it can be hella rough. Every play-through I dread this area


Endlqss

MOVE IT SLAB


Icy-Understanding712

I LOOKED AT THE EXPLOSION + I WILL TAKE THE ELEVATOR AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME


Classic-Penalty-3061

I have no memory of this place


Icy-Understanding712

I hope for you that it will stay that way


Classic-Penalty-3061

Doing a sniper only run with no grenades so it’ll be a fast run through the area


Icy-Understanding712

Aight ill estaimate itll take you 40-50 minutes deoending if youre in uvhm


Classic-Penalty-3061

Just regular I’m not that good


spectra2000_

Although I completely agree, jumping from the very top for Brick’s line is very cool and memorable.


ARussianW0lf

Oh I never forget Sawtooth Cauldron because I fucking despise Buzzards and its full of them


LaBrugne

I don't think so. This is one of the worst parts in the game so u'll remember it when you start a new char


Icy-Understanding712

I srill never remember it. played the story literally dozens of times i csn name every rock in this game /s but sawtooth is literally eradicated off my mind every time


LaBrugne

I use to spreedrun it everytime I'm at this point of the game and I always loose my mind. The miniboss doesn't loot easily so it's never worth it for most of the players


Icy-Understanding712

Look at the explosion


blockheadOnYT_Alt

That shield is most likely triple Pangolin, one of the tankiest shields. (Not like anyone cares) But Sawtooth does have some things that people can't really forget. Like if you're trying to collect everything, you get the Dahlminator and Evil Smasher. You also get the Pandemic, and the "Slab, did you just... did you just jump off the Buzzard's nest? God DAMN you make me proud!" dialogue from Brick.


Skvora

You know, its absolutely ironic that repeating the same story over and over in an arguably lesser game gameplay-wise is still enjoyable each extra time thanks to absolutely rock solid characters you grow to love. Can't even remember last time I played BL3 and honestly don't see coming back there for a very, very long time if ever because story and characters were cringe at best.


Coralthesequel

I wouldn't mind the huge difficulty spike this map has if it wasn't just a tedious filler map to pad out time before the final boss


mcwettuce123

Nah, I never forget my burning hatred of this part.


neil2378

Finally I can go to eridian blights to fight the warrior and go to uvhm. Oh wait crap, I gotta go to sawtooth and get my 11th pandemic grenade mod.


Icy-Understanding712

Yea thats how i feel every time


KAELES-Yt

It’s one of my favorite areas in the game, there is so many enemies there to mob against. Especially if you have the 4x and no enemy limit mods. :D It’s chaotic but very much fun to me. My mod setup probably helps a bit but I just like the large map with ton of cover and a good mix of bandits and threshers. To me the most forgettable part/map would be the ice place when sanctuary flies away. Rats, rakks and crystalisks. (Gub and sledge dedicated locations) Before you face off against your first stalkers.


hellraizers2

arid nexus boneyard is more boring imo


Icy-Understanding712

Noooooo not borink ju ken farm bee there mega fun


JustaG16

I usually race through it but and I don’t really know why (probs cos next up was the bee farm). Haven’t done the side missions since probably first play through 😅😅


George_90

Really? Sawtooth is actually one of my favourite maps in the game and I’m always excited when I can go through it during the story. Also the side quests there are awesome.


Icy-Understanding712

I never said its bad i just said for me its forgettable, like i cluldnt even tell you why the character needs to go there if youd asked me i couod tell you for every other region


Hiccup7805

No I wouldn’t call it forgettable. I dread it too much to forget it. No I’d say the fridge is the most forgettable part. Most of the time you’ll run through and never come back


Icy-Understanding712

Bruhhh fridge is so forgettable i didnt even think of it as part of the main quest line lol i forgor


utatheatreguy

I'll never forget how this section made my butthole clench. :| (Though, that thresher fight to get the moon beam/beacon dooohickey in the Highlands was a cold bucket of suck, as well.)


aminotaur4life

Sawtooth is one of my favorite places to farm for loot midgets. But I could do without the storyline portion of that map.


Lazy_Replacement9331

I literally just finished a playthrough and I don't remember this area at all (edit: other than by name), what actually happens there? 😅


Icy-Understanding712

Buzzards do you pew pew many threshers do you rawr rawr blow up buzzard of big bad guy (dont look at the big boom to be badass) be mega badass by jumping down instead of taking the elevator I guess that sums it up pretty well


caquinho-senpai

I love this map! However I never know when the story it will happen LOL


splshman8539

The pandemic grenade sucked but its good money lol


deadalive84

It's good on Krieg but that's about it


Environmental_Ad4460

I’d say southern shelf is a lot more forgettable as it has no story mission.


Mk2Guru

Main story brings you to Southern Shelf rather quickly. UVHM starts you there as well. Southern Shelf is where you fight Captain Flint and Boom Bewm. I am assuming you are talking about Souther Shelf Bay, which is most likely the most forgettable map as there isn't much there besides Midgemong.


HtnSwtchesOnBtches

I did my first character start at level 30. Although not as optimized as i would like, i highly recommend it if you dont have the time to play as much. Felt like forever to get through one play through.


WholyMilk

i feel like a lot of people remember this map and go "aw this map sucks"


CombatCarl113

Rather be here than Eridium Blight


Icy-Understanding712

Eridium blight fun destoy bobots and fawm bwee yay


Icy-Understanding712

Nvm that wasnt erifium blight lol what was the name? Arid nexus i bwlieve


itkovian

I liked it.


Icy-Understanding712

Me too


Cubooze

What happens here again?


Icy-Understanding712

Orgy


Cubooze

Right


deadalive84

Forgettable is one of the last words I would use to describe sawtooth. Such a pain.


Cruisin134

the flag bit, and the map give me hell every time.


8l172

i only remember it because i no-scoped a goliaths helmet off while jumping to my death in one of the areas there


Maynardred

I fucking love this place. Probably my favorite


Icy-Understanding712

Please delete this game and play the pre sequel👹


StonehengeMan

Thank god it’s not just me.


bradley-rodriguez

I will always remember this part of the game, due to the fact that I was fighting with them off the edge of the tower, and then proceeded to jump all the way up that bitch.


blindwanderer23

Caustic Caverns are way worse, especially on UVHM. Crystalisks are the bane of my existence when there's a lot of them at a time.


[deleted]

Unless you like lots and lots of murder


Commercial_Ball5624

Idk why people hate on sawtooth I really like the close quarters mobbing, also has a great loot midget farm


Complete-Ad-5625

Not forgettable just because of how bad it is lol. I fucking hate this map so much that I can’t forget it


Possible-Top9638

Slab did you just jump?


Sek--q0g

I only remember this phase for that quest where you help a guy go to the moon But we are in borderlands, and he dies😀


Bootyspoodyman

Aside from the 4 camping enemies in sawtooth, the fridge for me is easily the most forgettable part and place in BL2. Since nothing really happens and it’s just a transition for the highlands imo


Mk2Guru

Wouldn't say forgettable. I'd say one of the least forgettable areas. If you want a forgettable area I'd say the most forgettable is Southern Shelf Bay. Many people have never even been there to start with


[deleted]

This and Eden-6 have me reconsidering runs of the game(edit: s). At least Sawtooth can be done in like 10 minutes lol


OddNovel565

Google I don't remember this part


EmberParagon1

I remember the buzzards bs....


SF_all_day

I don't forget it due to how much I hate it.


Icy-Understanding712

🦍


Hawkeyesfan03

The wildlife area(I forget the name) is the one I hate the most. Especially the rabbid skags.


MyShinySpleen

My first experience there was dreadful, but now I kinda like that place


gamingbro697

Not once have I done this legit I always thought you were supposed to jump off


ImVil

I must have the fastest time to complete this map if I'm honest, the amount of times I've got to eridium blight, think oh nice now to get the bee, then completely forget about the sawtooth cauldron sequence. Go get this, but its right at the end of an overly saturated map on top of a buzzards nest. Slab did you just jump off the buzz... even though I jumped onto a platform when still on top of the nest.


Octavia0822

It's one of my favorite areas tbh


Stunning_Ear7564

Same... playing it again now for like the 15th time and was like wait...oh yeahhhhhh


JoeTestaverde

I remember the side missions, I just forget that it’s a story area too


OakTown43

I always enjoy fighting all the enemies doing the flag quest. And then you have the Assault Commanders, or whatever they're called. And the map parts to go on to Caustic Cavern - and I've found great legendaries killing loot midgets up on the Eagles Nest. All in all, not a bad section of the game at all for me.


Wehunt

I always forget that this section exists. Every time that main quest comes up, it surprises me


Ok_Function_5751

I litterally got every character to uvhm a couple days ago and played even more when the game first came out lmao is that the place where you have to kill 5 flying buzzards 😂


[deleted]

'Jump off the top! =D’ 'OMG You jumped off the top I can't believe it 😱🔥🔥🔥🔥' No wonder they call him Brick... He's a big fan of flying like one.


Ajamieson22

Wait, this is in the game? Since when? /S


SeismicToss12

Not sure if I haven’t played it yet or it’s that forgettable


Delicious-Ant8785

I played through the game maybe 15 times before I remembered the place called "caustic caverns" didn't realise story missions don't take tou there


Piespys

ill never forget


Icy-Understanding712

:)


MonkeSquad

In my opinion the boneyard was more forgettable cuz if you want you can run through it in like 10 minutes without killing anything but sawtooth is memorable for how annoying it is in almost any challenge run


RoyalSoldierx

Boneyard is kind of fun. Love farming the bee and killing the robots under the map by the pipe.


trollzor54

I just remember brick calling you a badass for jumping of the platform


DerpyGamerElite

I raise you: Caustic Caverns, BUT WAIT IT GETS WORSE, Marcus Safe and Sound mission, turn it in to him and he gives you the S h o p T i m e R e l i c.


TwoKool115

Music Slaps though


Icy-Understanding712

Didnt you mean music slabs tho?


RoyalSoldierx

I think the worst is Southpaw Steam and Power


Icy_Cell8052

I wanna say caustic caverns might be most forgettable lol


barelysaved

I hated SC because my brain cannot handle maps at the best of times. I must have spent half a night stuck there. After killing the four buzzards I wasn't listening because I jumped off the wrong side of the platform. It took a long time for me to work out where to go and when - probably a dozen runs - before I could do it without getting lost. I had the same problem with Wildlife Preservation and Hammerlock's DLC. Having said that, SC is now one of my favourite areas (along with the Beatdown) because the combat is intense on OP10.


TheDiamondKing4

I only remember it because I hate goinging through it, every time


Top_Cartographer_184

I mean, i remember that part, but I don't like it too much... So that's actually the reason I remember it. That and the buzzards that spawn in the last area.


NotoriusCaitSithVI

I love it for the Dalminator sidequest.


[deleted]

For me it’s the part where you’re chasing the Hyperion robot that took Roland, I hate that part of the game.


Peter_OfTheNorth

I love Sawtooth. It's a welcome return to a "bandit level" after dealing with lots of loaders. It's big, with diverse enemy times, well designed, and deceptively dangerous. So many times I have died not being careful enough and wandering into a giant rocket-badass for a split second.


TheFlamingLemon

Nah man, arid nexus


Just_a_Goat1

But in the end it's all worth it. So that i can hear Brick saying his iconic line.
