Darth suggested me to post my UVHM run with only picked up gear so here it is. I hope this isn't going to be redundant.
So here is the challenge: starting UVHM with absolutely no gear and picking up just what drops or spawns in the vending machines.
I decided to give myself another disadvantage: I'll start at only lvl 50 with limited skillpoints, and I will have to level up by doing missions like any average player who plays the game as it was the first time. No powerleveling or whatever.
I decided to use Zero for this task because:
1- he is my fave <3
2- he lacks survivability and pets
3- everyone keep saying he is gear dependant and squashy and lots of bad things.
Keep in mind that this series is not meant to show how good I am (I'm very much average), I don't care if I die a few times, but I really want to prove the point that Zero can make it with no farming, that UVHM is possible without any kind of OP gear, that slag is not mandatory it just helps, and non elemental weapons are still perfectly viable if you have nothing better to use. It's not easy, but it's not impossible, and not even too much frustrating.

PART 1 - STARTING WITH EMPTY INVENTORY
The first part of the combat is critical. I have no gear, and I have no pets to rely on, so build choice is the key. I need to take every skill able to deal direct damage to enemies.
Death Blossom is the most obvious skill to start with, and the greatly underrated Unforseen will came in handy. Execute will be the next most desired skill.
What DB, Unforseen and execute didn't kill, hopefully will be in killing blow range so the tactic should be easy and safe to apply.
My skill points are limited to 50, so I can't get both DB and MMF. Unfortunately many must fall is compeltely useless in UVHM if I don't have reliable roid damage, so I had to start with a cunning build.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubKsme…
PART 2 - Bad hair day, Shielded favors
I'm starting to appreciate this spingun! It's not really bad isn't it?
At this point i have guns and it would be smart if I respecced into a cunning/bore build. Melee is not only weak without the right equipment but it is extremely dangerous. Everything can healthgate me, and without a reliable healing source it is extremely hard to survive at close range.
However I want to avoid the sniper tree and keep going down the bloodshed. I still feel comfortable with execute and I don't want to give up on that.
Near the end, I got a blue bladed shotty out of a bullymong pile. It will be my main dps source, together with Hammerlock's green sniper.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=T25kFv…
PART 3 - Symbiosis
I always remembere this quest to be a bloodbath. I wasn't sure on how to approach the area, but I couldn't go wrong if I faced the enemies from long range.
It worked, at least until I encountered my first Scavenger. I'll learn to hate them. No matter where you aim when meleeing, you will always miss them.
On the other hand, oneshotting minibosses is still possible and consistent to do, even without perfect melee gear.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Nqrb…
PART 4 - Boom and Bewm
Statisfied with my new gear, I decided that unforseen was now useless and respecced out of it. WRONG MOVE. I'll regret it forever. Unforseen is great for bringing things in KB range. Alone, it would have made a HUGE difference against all those psychos especially during the boss fight!!
I was seriously afraid of this part, many people complained that Boom and Bewm are impossible in UVHM so I was expecting to die a lot. Will this happen?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK2dcJ…
PART 5 - Sniping my way to Flynt
I still have no slag weapons, and no reliable way to slag enemies. Without slag, I fought my way to Flynt, sniping with a green non elemental Jakobs sniper and using my lovely non elemental shotgun when in close trouble.
Sniping is clearly viable, even with no skillpoints in the sniping tree. Never had a problem, except for that mischievous Scavenger, who picked up a lot of stuff and dropped nothing. I almost love when the game trolls me like that.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB19Ym…
PART 6 - Flynt!
Finally I reached Flynt and I must say, this was the best fight ever. A perfect example of how this game can troll the player, or how a player's choice can end in a perfectly avoidable disaster.
No good gear found, however a shock elemental relic will give me an additional reason to get my unforseen back ASAP.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4-TD9…
PART 7 - PART 8 - The Road To Sanctuary
In the following episode I'll get back to sanctuary. No memorable loot was found, Nothing really interesting happened. I sped up the whole sanctuary part because it was just a waste of time.
I could finally respec and get Unforseen back.
I'm still looking for a shield stripping Tesla, it's the only piece of equipment I've yet to find!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=wADpoB…
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufyxiX…
PART 9 - No Vacancy
Oh man now I understand what Rabid scaks means when you can't oneshot them from deception. Now I know.
Still using only non elemental weapons, but I finally got a good slag SMG, however I will not use it before reaching the assassins because reasons (probably I forgot I had it).
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fhgv-I…
PART 10 - Neither Rain nor Sleet nor Skags
I'm trying to prepare myself psychologically to face the assassins. Here I found my first UBA psycho and, well, let's say all of a sudden everything went funny...
The best part is that I know absolutely nothing about enemies attack patterns because you know, ninjas are used to oneshot the whole game without letting the enemies do their things... For me it's like playing the game for the first time lol. Enemy's unfair troll attacks amaze me.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt7ye-…
PART 11 - Assassinate the Assassins #1
I start to really feel the absolute need of a Tesla. Stripping my shield is getting of vital importance: without roid, I can't oneshot the thougher enemies and I can't even let them strip my shield because it's sure they'll healthgate me... And believe me you don't want to be healthgated if you have nothing that heals you within the next 2 seconds.
However, here I am learning the convenience of slag. It will became a crutch I already know it, but hey, a crutch does not equal to mandatory. Slag just happens to be there and it's so good it's a shame not to use it.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zttlje…
PART 12 - Assassinate the Assassins #2
OH MY GOSH the UBA psycho is trolling me again! I REGRET EVERYTHING! FORGIVE ME!
I can feel the hate growing inside my poor Zero. If he could kill me, he would. I need a shield stripper nade ASAP!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5P4Fx…
PART 13 - Dr Mercy & Name Game
Not much to say about this part. Just a bunch of nomads chasing me forever, a nice kill on Dr Mercy and well I think I couldn't survive the embarassment of dying to a bullymong, but I managed to get out of that almost unharmed.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=wskPOA…
PART 14 - Frostburn Canyon
The game did not save my last session and I lost my newly found blue ninja mod So sad.
Still no teslas! But they are actually not really important at least until I reach MMF.
The start of this chapter was kind of uncomfortable, there were really too many enemies around and I had to kill them one at a time to avoid taking damage. Clearing the area would have take ages, but I had an idea about grabbing some pets to help me with the killing. That was something new and extremely fun to do!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqeD3-…
PART 15 - The Firehawk Fight
Still taming my pet Goliath, too bad he didn't get past the 2 UBA psychos.
The fight in the end started pretty well, then disaster happened. I couldn't find out who was putting fire DoT on me so I end up being on fire 90% of the time, with no way to counter the DoT, bandits in the respawn area and whatsoever.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTBLQn…
PART 16 - Too Close For Missiles
I fast forwarded the car related quests because they are of no interest and the skill required to complete them is irrelevant. Too close for missiles is one of my favourite quests, and the shirtless men can be very hard to kill even in normal mode. Buzzards were also troublesome for every character, but I had a cool vladof green corrosive sniper from southern shelf, and it did a great job on those buzzards. Thanks god I did not sell it.
I used goliaths to distract the enemies, too bad one of my goliath friends decided to hug me with a falcon punch and bury me in the space.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3qN-h…
PART 17 - Midget Hubert The Invincible
I broke the game on Bad Maw encounter! Nothing too relevant happened, except midget Hubert who glitched, and ended up being mostly unmeleeable, unslaggable, immune to transfusion nades, and whatsoever. I had fun with him for a very long time and had some laughs at how bad the game was broken.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HgJB2…
PART 18 - Bloodshot Stronghold #1
This is the first half of the Stronghold quest. I miss the help from Goliaths, and I'm forced to kill enemies one by one. They start regenerating more health than what I can take with my old jackobs (at least if they are not slagged).
I learnt to hate marauders. They are so coward. They have 200% accuracy while running backward faster than a rabid skag, and they always use maliwan smgs with the highest elemental chance I've ever seen.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-HXPq…
PART 18: Bloodshot Stronghold #2
Second part of the level. Marauders still trolling me. Here I can confirm that splatguns are the worst enemy. Really. They killed me so many times, and they keep doing it. No teslas yet, I can't believe it! My melee is getting weaker and weaker!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKecKs…
PART 20 - A Dam Fine Rescue
I was extremely worried about this fight (Lol you can actually see how worried I was, that heart rate monitor is priceless). I can feel my melee getting weaker and weaker as I progress. My shield is getting old now, and the game has yet to spawn me a tesla! I am literally desperate for something I can use to strip my shield.
I was planning this fight since the day before, no way I was going to the Gulag. I hate that place. With the current gear, the only chance I had to kill Warden fast enough was to unload the highest burst damage I could, bringing him in KB range, and then finishing him off from FFYL. FFYL was taken for granted. The strategy was:
- Completely ignore any enemy around and only focus on the boss
- Bring down his shield with a shock RL
- Deception, kunai, strip shield, execute on critical spot (I don't have a backstab boost from coms)
- die
- Finish him with KB from FFYL
My only hope to output the necessary DPS was to find a tesla at all costs before reaching the boss... Unfortunately the game denied it to me once again, and I had to face Warden without roid damage, and as predicted, the outcome was catastrophic.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I6Ts_…
PART 21 - In Memoriam, Eternal Flames, False Idols
A few boring sidequests, leveling up is a nightmare. I sped up a lot of running and irrelevant looting. I finally got a Tesla but 1.5 seconds delay seems to be too much to rely on it. A few funny episodes happened, like lilith shouting me to kill nomads arsonists with fire, when they can regenerate more health than what I can take even if they are left with 2 HP...
A loot midget dropped me a bone! YAY! finally something useful! More kunai, more dps! I also found a tubby spiderant but it only dropped a bunny. Well, I can always sell it for money. Finally I sent a Goliath after Scorch... not because I was afraid of him, but more because I was too lazy to sustain all of his aggro.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPBvWK…
PART 22 - Burning Matchstick #1
Boring. Boring boring boring and boring again. I hate this quest so much, it's long, it's tedious and there is nothing new to explore. I decided to snipe all the way up to Flynt, because I need to complete the Medical mistery quest, and for some weird reason snider kills counts as etech kills. Boom gave me quite a lot of trouble, I didn't remember him being so though, however I managed to stay alive the whole time.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlemsQ…
PART 23 - Burning Matchstick #2
Finally this quest is over. I have nothing to say about this video, except that it was tedious, boring, and not rewarding. I even forgot about a few chests because I was so much bored and I just want to get rid of the quest asap. Unfortunately I still have to kill as much enemies as possible, I'm in desperate need of skill points to reach MMF and have a better life. Also a scavenger killed me in the most frustrating way possible. I need to sell the bunny and stop using it once and for all.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjK7d9…
PART 24 - The Enkindling
Finally this tedious quest is over! I have nothing to say except that I sacrificed myself for scientific purposes and that I'm understanding why people hates the bunny so much. As soon as I'll get tired of its orange color, it will be good to go in a vending machine.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjzsJp…
PART 25 - Splinter Group
The encounter with the first group of rats was absolutely traumatic. My gameplay was pretty bad during this session (part 25 and first half of part 26) because I had a lot of phone calls, parents yelling at me for god knows why so I died a bunch of times in an unnecessarily stupid way. The good news is that I found a slag evisceration torment, and i will discover in the near future that this gun is the way to go. It's like a slag evisceration Rubi without healing but hey, I'm a badass. Healing is for pussies.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjflkh…
PART 26 - Out of Body Experience
In the first part is't still yesterday's session, and I played in a bad moment because I was distracted by phones, doorbell, parents yelling and I died a bunch of times in extremely stupid ways. After changing map, it was today's session and I was thenkfully alone. In fact I never died! I really enjoied the dam fight, and I learned to love my slag evisceration Torment. It's just perfect. For everything.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWoST8…
PART 27 - Mighty Morphin'
24:44 THE BEST JUMPSCARE EVER. PRICELESS.
I was seriously afraid of the mutated badass varkirds. They had always been a pain, in every playthrough and I had no idea how to deal with them.
Eventually I figured them out, until something horrible happened.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZgq_9…
PART 28 - A train to catch, party prep, no hard feelings
Badonkadonks, sir Reginald and stuff.
I had nightmares about Madame Von Bartlesby, but everything went relatively smooth.
Kunai are devastating for buzzard, I was expecting them to be harder but they really go down fast with slag, DM and a few bullets from a green corrosive snider.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqVf2W…
PART 29 - Wilhelm
The game crashed again while I was trying to get some experience and I had to re-clean the map. I sped up the redo parts, I didn't find anything good anyway.
Watch me fail against Willhelm. I got my butt kicked many times and I believe my cowardice ended up to be my doom. I could probably have 2 or 3 shotted him if I seriously melee'd him, but I was too afraid to strip my shield.
I also misjudged KB range and epically failed the second attempt.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzNHAF…
PART 30 - The Ice Man Cometh
Claptrap gave me a few more XP!
I'm looking everywhere for rabids. I almost love them now. One more skillpoint and I'll get MMF. My god, I don't think I'll be able to kill enough rabids to level up before the Overlook nightmare. I'm dead.
But let's look at the bright side: I finally have a tesla with 0 fuse! Yay!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYp_qj…
PART 31 - The Fridge
I was probably in a derpy mood, because I think I had the dumbest idea I've ever had since the game released. Nothing relevant happened, just the usual tediousness and trolling.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjT4OO…
PART 32 - The Constructor and Gluttonous Thresher
So many things happened here. Firstly I found a new amazing roid shield and it appeared to go perfectly well with my 0.0 fuse tesla. However, at the end of the map I realized I was wearing a sniper com instead of a ninja! that's why all my melee felt so weak! How could I missed that!
With a ninja com, the tesla is not enough powerful to strip my shield. In fact, the sniper com reduces shield capacity and without it, my shields resist to the stripping, barely. However, if I turn my BAR off I should be fine. After Overlook, I'll turn it off. I don't need its boosts any more.
The Gluttonous Thresher died very fast, but that Constructor, my god. That was really a pain.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqltV2…
PART 33 - Finally OVERLOOK!
And finally Overlook. I found a white rakehell which saved my life against that constructor. Everyone saying white weapons sucks will get a virtual faceslap from me.
I sucked so hard at protecting the beacon that eventually the game had mercy and the beacon became invulnerable. Truth is that in UVHM the beackn can be 2-shotted by almost everything. I mainly used it to draw fire from me lol, it actually worked. At a certain point the AI started to ignore me, and I became seriously reckless and like regularily happens, that costed me a respawn.
After going back to Sanctuary I took all the quests and did a couple of them (law + clappy b-day)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFVYL5…
PART 34 - Slap Happy
I started with Slappy quest because nothing could go wrong with old Slappy. Unfortunately I didn't take into consideration how big of a troll this game is so everything that could go wrong went completely wrong.
To make things worse, my beautiful tesla is completely useless now. It leaves me with 625 shield.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeD_O7…
PART 35 - Mine, all Mine - Train Robbery
This episode made me trash my amp shield. Every time I use it, terrible things happens. Finally I have both MMF and Kunai! Now I need to adjust my playstyle to the new skills. Will they make me stronger, or just more reckless? (Spoiler: just more reckless.)
Still using (or attempting to use) goliaths to draw some fire.
At 33:48 Mordy did something really strange: is he learning how to bore?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mq-_f…
PART 36 - Blue and the Caustic Caverns nightmare
Time to test the new playstyle! Where? In the caustic caverns. Firstly I'll kill Blue and get me an heartbraker. Secondly... I'll start dying all over the place.
Seriously, I've never seen so many wormhole threshers toghether all at the same time. And their hitbox, dear lord. They trolled me big times!
I think this is the session where I miserably died the most. I'm suffering again from lack of a tesla strong enough to strip my shield. Seriously, I can't believe the total lack of longbow teslas I'm getting in this playthrough, it's completely unbelievable.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3hsuo…
PART 37 - Minecart Mischief
Second and last part of Caustic Caverns side missions.
Nothing relevant happened except that evil crystalisks being mean and another bunny which went into the vending machine asap.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFYAJn…
PART 38 - Wildlife Exploitation Preserve
I love rabid Stalkers, no joking, I love them. I enjoyed this run so much! I think it's one of the best parts of this playthrough. At first, I found a new tesla with 0.6 delay, powerful enough to strip my shield. The delay wasn't perfect, but it was still better than nothing!
After acquiring this new tesla, I sold my old 0.0 fuse one, because it was too weak to strip my shield and I had no use for it.
But immediatly after selling it I found another green roid shield, with a very high damage, low capacity, but only 2 seconds delay! I rejected it initially because the delay was really too short, but I changed my mind after a while, I grabbed it, and I got my old tesla back which was just perfect for this new shield, and this made the whole preserve run an extremely enjoyable experience! Two seconds delay: everyone should give that a try! I turned my BAR off, I don't need it anyway at this point and it only makes my delay even shorter. The most Memorable moments of this part are in YT video description.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZj18M…
PART 40 - Thousand Cuts
I got a good roid shield, a nice tesla, a Moxxi weapon... I'm starting to feel somehow comfortable with my gear, is that good or not? Well honestly it's not good at all. I'm starting to get reckless and I will pay for that.
I think this was the most frustrating session I've ever played lol. Brick, I hate you so much. Well in all honesty I was actually having fun even when I died. I was like "oh no, I can't believe this is happening again... yes it happened again lololol" . The only time I got really enraged was at the buzzard with health regeneration issues. That was pure frustration.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA_cCg…
PART 41 - Opportunity
Opportunity here. I decided to only do the story quests to save on the editing and uploading time, if there are side quests you'd like me to do let me know (not stratesque, that is nearly impossible with my current gear).
Nothing really interesting happened except a loader spawn taking me by surprise. And why on earth did I slap that constructor, I could have finished the work in half the time lol... But I was too much into killing mood. I feel comfortable with my current melee gear and I'm starting to realx a little bit too much, that means I'll be getting reckless. I'll switch to a sniping build for the next mission, so I can keep the pressure high.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=myMugD…
PART 42 - All the way up to the bunker (Pure sniping)
I was very undecided about what to do for this part. The walk to the bunker can be one of the most frustrating missions in the entire game, and the bunker itself can be extremely frustrating to kill especially for an undergeared pure melee Zero. I could choose between an undergeared ninja, or an even more undergeared sniper. I decided to go pure sniper for many reasons, the first one is to show once more that sniping is viable in UVHM even without top gear, the second one is because I feel too much comfortable with melee and that will make me reckess. The third reason is because I never, ever played a sniper zero seriously (let's face it, pimping is not sniping) and I'm a dunce at Critical Ascension. I know you like to laugh at my goofiness, so yeah! Let's snipe!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t_PEl…
PART 43 - Bunker and the Control Core Demise
I was hoping to find a few leveled weapons before the control core.... I knew the control core was going to be extremely hard, but there were many chests, loot midgets, and the bunker... I found absolutely nothing in thousand cuts, and I even refarmed the 5 chests near the bunker entrance (I cut that part from this video) without finding a single thing. LLM dropped nothing at all... The bunker? NOTHING! And the chests around the bunker? Betties, and classmods for everyone except me! When I entered the control core, I was completely broke, and I was using weapons up to 6 levels below enemies. I had nothing reliable for second winding and in the control core there is not much cover and it's impossible to keep a safe distance for sniping. Control core was a total catastrophe. BUT IT WAS NOT IMPOSSIBLE, so in the end I win. There is no need for legendaries or whatever to get past UVHM.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3CRbL…
PART 44 - Sawtooth Cauldron #1
This mission is the last one I'll do as sniper. The game keeps being stingy and I found no new loot since AGES, I'm still using gear up to 6 levels below enemies and I really feel it is at the end of its life. I'm not good enough to take advantage of critical ascension and AOwtG... Since I need to speed things up a little bit, I'll go back to melee in the next mission.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9qFq2…
PART 45 - Sawtooth Cauldron #2
Second part of Sawtooth Cauldron. Here I realized the Hotfix never applied and I was running with the full nerf active. Nerfed, with extremely underleveled gear, and without ammo (the game kept spawning money)... At a certain point I stopped playing safe and rushed to finish the quest as soon as possible, 2 hours wasted on SC was really really too long. Tedious, but far from impossible. I'll go back to melee in the next mission.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X1aAX…
PART 46 - Rubi farming and Arid Nexus
Unfortunately I forgot to hit the record button when I did the missions "rakkaholics anonimous" and "bearer of bad news", so I ended up with a few new weapons out of nowhere. They are not game changing weapons, so I believe it is not a big deal in the end. I had no luck with an evisceration rubi so I kept the best slag one I obtained. Still getting the hang of what I can do and what I can't do with my current gear. I absolutely need a decent RL for second winds.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j6iJ8…
PART 47 - Saturn and the Badlands
I was waiting for this mission since day one! Finally I got to kill Saturn.
I have to say, this is far from hard. It is really easy to avoid damage, but man, it took so long. This is the bigger problem of UVHM: it's not harder, it's just tedious. Gearbox should really work on AI in the next borderlands, because let's face it: enemies are completely dumb. They just keep firing the same attack over, and over, and over, and while they are attacking you can't do anything, because enemies automatically know your location 100% of the time, with 100% of accuracy. You just have to wait, and wait and wait until they lose aggro. Waiting games are boring. I finally found a nice RL, nothing really important happened.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7fr8K…
PART 48 - Hero's Pass
Here starts the grand finale. I obtained an Order, just to be sure. At first, it appeared to strip fine with my current tesla but it ended up not stripping at all. After a few tries with double-nades, I dropped it and decided to not use it anymore. Finding a nice alkaline blue maylay in a vending machine made me forget about orders, hides, love thumpers or whatever. I learned to love that shield.
Hero's pass was a cakewalk, I really enjoyed MMF, unfortunately the constructors... they are so annoying. And boring. I couldn't reach them with melee, I wasn't in the mood to risk my life just to reach them, so I had to kill them the tedious way.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SDNi7…
PART 49 - FINALE
Warrior melee kill with law and blue maylay shield: jump to minute 23:05
Last part of this playthrough.
I sped up the constructor kill because it was really, really, REALLY boring. Gearbox should seriously improve the AI in the next game because once you learn the attack patterns nothing can really kill you and everything is just boring. Probably the only thing that can kill you is boredom, because at a certain point you just lose the patience. At the vault it didn't go too well, but I was running out of time and I had to speed things up, so after a few attempts (I think i died 3 times but I cut them from the video because it was really getting too long) I decided to go coward mode and snipe from the safe spot. However I was really disappointed and I wanted to redo the fight the day after when I had more time, so i did it and I added the melee fight to the end of the video. This prove that whatever you do in UVHM, the warrior is going to die in a way or another, even with bad gear. The sniper was a green diaub, the law you already know, and the maylay shield was an alkaline blue one. I used it over an order with almost 2x its damage because I couldn't strip the order reliably with my current tesla and I had to discard it. So I wasn't even using the law/order combo for this fight.
In the end the warrior puked me a nearly perfect corrosive practicable conference call. Was about time to see an orange lol.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNwkNK…
The playthrough has ended, however I'm still leveling up further and doing the dlcs. I will Stream my future sessions live on Twitch and you can see the broadcasts on this page: www.twitch.tv/altairgaming/pr.…
I will still post on this thread the most remarkable achievements made with only found gear and very limited farming, especially some raiding by Striker where he is using my character. I think he is the best to show how far it is possible to go without endgame gear.

Darth suggested me to post my UVHM run with only picked up gear so here it is. I hope this isn't going to be redundant.
So here is the challenge: starting UVHM with absolutely no gear and picking up just what drops or spawns in the vending machines.
I decided to give myself another disadvantage: I'll start at only lvl 50 with limited skillpoints, and I will have to level up by doing missions like any average player who plays the game as it was the first time. No powerleveling or whatever.
I decided to use Zero for this task because:
1- he is my fave <3
2- he lacks survivability and pets
3- everyone keep saying he is gear dependant and squashy and lots of bad things.
Keep in mind that this series is not meant to show how good I am (I'm very much average), I don't care if I die a few times, but I really want to prove the point that Zero can make it with no farming, that UVHM is possible without any kind of OP gear, that slag is not mandatory it just helps, and non elemental weapons are still perfectly viable if you have nothing better to use. It's not easy, but it's not impossible, and not even too much frustrating.

PART 1 - STARTING WITH EMPTY INVENTORY
The first part of the combat is critical. I have no gear, and I have no pets to rely on, so build choice is the key. I need to take every skill able to deal direct damage to enemies.
Death Blossom is the most obvious skill to start with, and the greatly underrated Unforseen will came in handy. Execute will be the next most desired skill.
What DB, Unforseen and execute didn't kill, hopefully will be in killing blow range so the tactic should be easy and safe to apply.
My skill points are limited to 50, so I can't get both DB and MMF. Unfortunately many must fall is compeltely useless in UVHM if I don't have reliable roid damage, so I had to start with a cunning build.

PART 2 - Bad hair day, Shielded favors
I'm starting to appreciate this spingun! It's not really bad isn't it?
At this point i have guns and it would be smart if I respecced into a cunning/bore build. Melee is not only weak without the right equipment but it is extremely dangerous. Everything can healthgate me, and without a reliable healing source it is extremely hard to survive at close range.
However I want to avoid the sniper tree and keep going down the bloodshed. I still feel comfortable with execute and I don't want to give up on that.
Near the end, I got a blue bladed shotty out of a bullymong pile. It will be my main dps source, together with Hammerlock's green sniper.

PART 3 - Symbiosis
I always remembere this quest to be a bloodbath. I wasn't sure on how to approach the area, but I couldn't go wrong if I faced the enemies from long range.
It worked, at least until I encountered my first Scavenger. I'll learn to hate them. No matter where you aim when meleeing, you will always miss them.
On the other hand, oneshotting minibosses is still possible and consistent to do, even without perfect melee gear.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Nqrb…
PART 4 - Boom and Bewm
Statisfied with my new gear, I decided that unforseen was now useless and respecced out of it. WRONG MOVE. I'll regret it forever. Unforseen is great for bringing things in KB range. Alone, it would have made a HUGE difference against all those psychos especially during the boss fight!!
I was seriously afraid of this part, many people complained that Boom and Bewm are impossible in UVHM so I was expecting to die a lot. Will this happen?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK2dcJ…
PART 5 - Sniping my way to Flynt
I still have no slag weapons, and no reliable way to slag enemies. Without slag, I fought my way to Flynt, sniping with a green non elemental Jakobs sniper and using my lovely non elemental shotgun when in close trouble.
Sniping is clearly viable, even with no skillpoints in the sniping tree. Never had a problem, except for that mischievous Scavenger, who picked up a lot of stuff and dropped nothing. I almost love when the game trolls me like that.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB19Ym…
PART 6 - Flynt!
Finally I reached Flynt and I must say, this was the best fight ever. A perfect example of how this game can troll the player, or how a player's choice can end in a perfectly avoidable disaster.
No good gear found, however a shock elemental relic will give me an additional reason to get my unforseen back ASAP.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4-TD9…
PART 7 - PART 8 - The Road To Sanctuary
In the following episode I'll get back to sanctuary. No memorable loot was found, Nothing really interesting happened. I sped up the whole sanctuary part because it was just a waste of time.
I could finally respec and get Unforseen back.
I'm still looking for a shield stripping Tesla, it's the only piece of equipment I've yet to find!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=wADpoB…
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufyxiX…
PART 9 - No Vacancy
Oh man now I understand what Rabid scaks means when you can't oneshot them from deception. Now I know.
Still using only non elemental weapons, but I finally got a good slag SMG, however I will not use it before reaching the assassins because reasons (probably I forgot I had it).
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fhgv-I…
PART 10 - Neither Rain nor Sleet nor Skags
I'm trying to prepare myself psychologically to face the assassins. Here I found my first UBA psycho and, well, let's say all of a sudden everything went funny...
The best part is that I know absolutely nothing about enemies attack patterns because you know, ninjas are used to oneshot the whole game without letting the enemies do their things... For me it's like playing the game for the first time lol. Enemy's unfair troll attacks amaze me.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt7ye-…
PART 11 - Assassinate the Assassins #1
I start to really feel the absolute need of a Tesla. Stripping my shield is getting of vital importance: without roid, I can't oneshot the thougher enemies and I can't even let them strip my shield because it's sure they'll healthgate me... And believe me you don't want to be healthgated if you have nothing that heals you within the next 2 seconds.
However, here I am learning the convenience of slag. It will became a crutch I already know it, but hey, a crutch does not equal to mandatory. Slag just happens to be there and it's so good it's a shame not to use it.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zttlje…
PART 12 - Assassinate the Assassins #2
OH MY GOSH the UBA psycho is trolling me again! I REGRET EVERYTHING! FORGIVE ME!
I can feel the hate growing inside my poor Zero. If he could kill me, he would. I need a shield stripper nade ASAP!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5P4Fx…
PART 13 - Dr Mercy & Name Game
Not much to say about this part. Just a bunch of nomads chasing me forever, a nice kill on Dr Mercy and well I think I couldn't survive the embarassment of dying to a bullymong, but I managed to get out of that almost unharmed.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=wskPOA…
PART 14 - Frostburn Canyon
The game did not save my last session and I lost my newly found blue ninja mod So sad.
Still no teslas! But they are actually not really important at least until I reach MMF.
The start of this chapter was kind of uncomfortable, there were really too many enemies around and I had to kill them one at a time to avoid taking damage. Clearing the area would have take ages, but I had an idea about grabbing some pets to help me with the killing. That was something new and extremely fun to do!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqeD3-…
PART 15 - The Firehawk Fight
Still taming my pet Goliath, too bad he didn't get past the 2 UBA psychos.
The fight in the end started pretty well, then disaster happened. I couldn't find out who was putting fire DoT on me so I end up being on fire 90% of the time, with no way to counter the DoT, bandits in the respawn area and whatsoever.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTBLQn…
PART 16 - Too Close For Missiles
I fast forwarded the car related quests because they are of no interest and the skill required to complete them is irrelevant. Too close for missiles is one of my favourite quests, and the shirtless men can be very hard to kill even in normal mode. Buzzards were also troublesome for every character, but I had a cool vladof green corrosive sniper from southern shelf, and it did a great job on those buzzards. Thanks god I did not sell it.
I used goliaths to distract the enemies, too bad one of my goliath friends decided to hug me with a falcon punch and bury me in the space.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3qN-h…
PART 17 - Midget Hubert The Invincible
I broke the game on Bad Maw encounter! Nothing too relevant happened, except midget Hubert who glitched, and ended up being mostly unmeleeable, unslaggable, immune to transfusion nades, and whatsoever. I had fun with him for a very long time and had some laughs at how bad the game was broken.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HgJB2…
PART 18 - Bloodshot Stronghold #1
This is the first half of the Stronghold quest. I miss the help from Goliaths, and I'm forced to kill enemies one by one. They start regenerating more health than what I can take with my old jackobs (at least if they are not slagged).
I learnt to hate marauders. They are so coward. They have 200% accuracy while running backward faster than a rabid skag, and they always use maliwan smgs with the highest elemental chance I've ever seen.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-HXPq…
PART 18: Bloodshot Stronghold #2
Second part of the level. Marauders still trolling me. Here I can confirm that splatguns are the worst enemy. Really. They killed me so many times, and they keep doing it. No teslas yet, I can't believe it! My melee is getting weaker and weaker!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKecKs…
PART 20 - A Dam Fine Rescue
I was extremely worried about this fight (Lol you can actually see how worried I was, that heart rate monitor is priceless). I can feel my melee getting weaker and weaker as I progress. My shield is getting old now, and the game has yet to spawn me a tesla! I am literally desperate for something I can use to strip my shield.
I was planning this fight since the day before, no way I was going to the Gulag. I hate that place. With the current gear, the only chance I had to kill Warden fast enough was to unload the highest burst damage I could, bringing him in KB range, and then finishing him off from FFYL. FFYL was taken for granted. The strategy was:
- Completely ignore any enemy around and only focus on the boss
- Bring down his shield with a shock RL
- Deception, kunai, strip shield, execute on critical spot (I don't have a backstab boost from coms)
- die
- Finish him with KB from FFYL
My only hope to output the necessary DPS was to find a tesla at all costs before reaching the boss... Unfortunately the game denied it to me once again, and I had to face Warden without roid damage, and as predicted, the outcome was catastrophic.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I6Ts_…
PART 21 - In Memoriam, Eternal Flames, False Idols
A few boring sidequests, leveling up is a nightmare. I sped up a lot of running and irrelevant looting. I finally got a Tesla but 1.5 seconds delay seems to be too much to rely on it. A few funny episodes happened, like lilith shouting me to kill nomads arsonists with fire, when they can regenerate more health than what I can take even if they are left with 2 HP...
A loot midget dropped me a bone! YAY! finally something useful! More kunai, more dps! I also found a tubby spiderant but it only dropped a bunny. Well, I can always sell it for money. Finally I sent a Goliath after Scorch... not because I was afraid of him, but more because I was too lazy to sustain all of his aggro.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPBvWK…
PART 22 - Burning Matchstick #1
Boring. Boring boring boring and boring again. I hate this quest so much, it's long, it's tedious and there is nothing new to explore. I decided to snipe all the way up to Flynt, because I need to complete the Medical mistery quest, and for some weird reason snider kills counts as etech kills. Boom gave me quite a lot of trouble, I didn't remember him being so though, however I managed to stay alive the whole time.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlemsQ…
PART 23 - Burning Matchstick #2
Finally this quest is over. I have nothing to say about this video, except that it was tedious, boring, and not rewarding. I even forgot about a few chests because I was so much bored and I just want to get rid of the quest asap. Unfortunately I still have to kill as much enemies as possible, I'm in desperate need of skill points to reach MMF and have a better life. Also a scavenger killed me in the most frustrating way possible. I need to sell the bunny and stop using it once and for all.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjK7d9…
PART 24 - The Enkindling
Finally this tedious quest is over! I have nothing to say except that I sacrificed myself for scientific purposes and that I'm understanding why people hates the bunny so much. As soon as I'll get tired of its orange color, it will be good to go in a vending machine.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjzsJp…
PART 25 - Splinter Group
The encounter with the first group of rats was absolutely traumatic. My gameplay was pretty bad during this session (part 25 and first half of part 26) because I had a lot of phone calls, parents yelling at me for god knows why so I died a bunch of times in an unnecessarily stupid way. The good news is that I found a slag evisceration torment, and i will discover in the near future that this gun is the way to go. It's like a slag evisceration Rubi without healing but hey, I'm a badass. Healing is for pussies.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjflkh…
PART 26 - Out of Body Experience
In the first part is't still yesterday's session, and I played in a bad moment because I was distracted by phones, doorbell, parents yelling and I died a bunch of times in extremely stupid ways. After changing map, it was today's session and I was thenkfully alone. In fact I never died! I really enjoied the dam fight, and I learned to love my slag evisceration Torment. It's just perfect. For everything.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWoST8…
PART 27 - Mighty Morphin'
24:44 THE BEST JUMPSCARE EVER. PRICELESS.
I was seriously afraid of the mutated badass varkirds. They had always been a pain, in every playthrough and I had no idea how to deal with them.
Eventually I figured them out, until something horrible happened.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZgq_9…
PART 28 - A train to catch, party prep, no hard feelings
Badonkadonks, sir Reginald and stuff.
I had nightmares about Madame Von Bartlesby, but everything went relatively smooth.
Kunai are devastating for buzzard, I was expecting them to be harder but they really go down fast with slag, DM and a few bullets from a green corrosive snider.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqVf2W…
PART 29 - Wilhelm
The game crashed again while I was trying to get some experience and I had to re-clean the map. I sped up the redo parts, I didn't find anything good anyway.
Watch me fail against Willhelm. I got my butt kicked many times and I believe my cowardice ended up to be my doom. I could probably have 2 or 3 shotted him if I seriously melee'd him, but I was too afraid to strip my shield.
I also misjudged KB range and epically failed the second attempt.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzNHAF…
PART 30 - The Ice Man Cometh
Claptrap gave me a few more XP!
I'm looking everywhere for rabids. I almost love them now. One more skillpoint and I'll get MMF. My god, I don't think I'll be able to kill enough rabids to level up before the Overlook nightmare. I'm dead.
But let's look at the bright side: I finally have a tesla with 0 fuse! Yay!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYp_qj…
PART 31 - The Fridge
I was probably in a derpy mood, because I think I had the dumbest idea I've ever had since the game released. Nothing relevant happened, just the usual tediousness and trolling.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjT4OO…
PART 32 - The Constructor and Gluttonous Thresher
So many things happened here. Firstly I found a new amazing roid shield and it appeared to go perfectly well with my 0.0 fuse tesla. However, at the end of the map I realized I was wearing a sniper com instead of a ninja! that's why all my melee felt so weak! How could I missed that!
With a ninja com, the tesla is not enough powerful to strip my shield. In fact, the sniper com reduces shield capacity and without it, my shields resist to the stripping, barely. However, if I turn my BAR off I should be fine. After Overlook, I'll turn it off. I don't need its boosts any more.
The Gluttonous Thresher died very fast, but that Constructor, my god. That was really a pain.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqltV2…
PART 33 - Finally OVERLOOK!
And finally Overlook. I found a white rakehell which saved my life against that constructor. Everyone saying white weapons sucks will get a virtual faceslap from me.
I sucked so hard at protecting the beacon that eventually the game had mercy and the beacon became invulnerable. Truth is that in UVHM the beackn can be 2-shotted by almost everything. I mainly used it to draw fire from me lol, it actually worked. At a certain point the AI started to ignore me, and I became seriously reckless and like regularily happens, that costed me a respawn.
After going back to Sanctuary I took all the quests and did a couple of them (law + clappy b-day)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFVYL5…
PART 34 - Slap Happy
I started with Slappy quest because nothing could go wrong with old Slappy. Unfortunately I didn't take into consideration how big of a troll this game is so everything that could go wrong went completely wrong.
To make things worse, my beautiful tesla is completely useless now. It leaves me with 625 shield.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeD_O7…
PART 35 - Mine, all Mine - Train Robbery
This episode made me trash my amp shield. Every time I use it, terrible things happens. Finally I have both MMF and Kunai! Now I need to adjust my playstyle to the new skills. Will they make me stronger, or just more reckless? (Spoiler: just more reckless.)
Still using (or attempting to use) goliaths to draw some fire.
At 33:48 Mordy did something really strange: is he learning how to bore?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mq-_f…
PART 36 - Blue and the Caustic Caverns nightmare
Time to test the new playstyle! Where? In the caustic caverns. Firstly I'll kill Blue and get me an heartbraker. Secondly... I'll start dying all over the place.
Seriously, I've never seen so many wormhole threshers toghether all at the same time. And their hitbox, dear lord. They trolled me big times!
I think this is the session where I miserably died the most. I'm suffering again from lack of a tesla strong enough to strip my shield. Seriously, I can't believe the total lack of longbow teslas I'm getting in this playthrough, it's completely unbelievable.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3hsuo…
PART 37 - Minecart Mischief
Second and last part of Caustic Caverns side missions.
Nothing relevant happened except that evil crystalisks being mean and another bunny which went into the vending machine asap.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFYAJn…
PART 38 - Wildlife Exploitation Preserve
I love rabid Stalkers, no joking, I love them. I enjoyed this run so much! I think it's one of the best parts of this playthrough. At first, I found a new tesla with 0.6 delay, powerful enough to strip my shield. The delay wasn't perfect, but it was still better than nothing!
After acquiring this new tesla, I sold my old 0.0 fuse one, because it was too weak to strip my shield and I had no use for it.
But immediatly after selling it I found another green roid shield, with a very high damage, low capacity, but only 2 seconds delay! I rejected it initially because the delay was really too short, but I changed my mind after a while, I grabbed it, and I got my old tesla back which was just perfect for this new shield, and this made the whole preserve run an extremely enjoyable experience! Two seconds delay: everyone should give that a try! I turned my BAR off, I don't need it anyway at this point and it only makes my delay even shorter. The most Memorable moments of this part are in YT video description.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZj18M…
PART 40 - Thousand Cuts
I got a good roid shield, a nice tesla, a Moxxi weapon... I'm starting to feel somehow comfortable with my gear, is that good or not? Well honestly it's not good at all. I'm starting to get reckless and I will pay for that.
I think this was the most frustrating session I've ever played lol. Brick, I hate you so much. Well in all honesty I was actually having fun even when I died. I was like "oh no, I can't believe this is happening again... yes it happened again lololol" . The only time I got really enraged was at the buzzard with health regeneration issues. That was pure frustration.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA_cCg…
PART 41 - Opportunity
Opportunity here. I decided to only do the story quests to save on the editing and uploading time, if there are side quests you'd like me to do let me know (not stratesque, that is nearly impossible with my current gear).
Nothing really interesting happened except a loader spawn taking me by surprise. And why on earth did I slap that constructor, I could have finished the work in half the time lol... But I was too much into killing mood. I feel comfortable with my current melee gear and I'm starting to realx a little bit too much, that means I'll be getting reckless. I'll switch to a sniping build for the next mission, so I can keep the pressure high.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=myMugD…
PART 42 - All the way up to the bunker (Pure sniping)
I was very undecided about what to do for this part. The walk to the bunker can be one of the most frustrating missions in the entire game, and the bunker itself can be extremely frustrating to kill especially for an undergeared pure melee Zero. I could choose between an undergeared ninja, or an even more undergeared sniper. I decided to go pure sniper for many reasons, the first one is to show once more that sniping is viable in UVHM even without top gear, the second one is because I feel too much comfortable with melee and that will make me reckess. The third reason is because I never, ever played a sniper zero seriously (let's face it, pimping is not sniping) and I'm a dunce at Critical Ascension. I know you like to laugh at my goofiness, so yeah! Let's snipe!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t_PEl…
PART 43 - Bunker and the Control Core Demise
I was hoping to find a few leveled weapons before the control core.... I knew the control core was going to be extremely hard, but there were many chests, loot midgets, and the bunker... I found absolutely nothing in thousand cuts, and I even refarmed the 5 chests near the bunker entrance (I cut that part from this video) without finding a single thing. LLM dropped nothing at all... The bunker? NOTHING! And the chests around the bunker? Betties, and classmods for everyone except me! When I entered the control core, I was completely broke, and I was using weapons up to 6 levels below enemies. I had nothing reliable for second winding and in the control core there is not much cover and it's impossible to keep a safe distance for sniping. Control core was a total catastrophe. BUT IT WAS NOT IMPOSSIBLE, so in the end I win. There is no need for legendaries or whatever to get past UVHM.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3CRbL…
PART 44 - Sawtooth Cauldron #1
This mission is the last one I'll do as sniper. The game keeps being stingy and I found no new loot since AGES, I'm still using gear up to 6 levels below enemies and I really feel it is at the end of its life. I'm not good enough to take advantage of critical ascension and AOwtG... Since I need to speed things up a little bit, I'll go back to melee in the next mission.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9qFq2…
PART 45 - Sawtooth Cauldron #2
Second part of Sawtooth Cauldron. Here I realized the Hotfix never applied and I was running with the full nerf active. Nerfed, with extremely underleveled gear, and without ammo (the game kept spawning money)... At a certain point I stopped playing safe and rushed to finish the quest as soon as possible, 2 hours wasted on SC was really really too long. Tedious, but far from impossible. I'll go back to melee in the next mission.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X1aAX…
PART 46 - Rubi farming and Arid Nexus
Unfortunately I forgot to hit the record button when I did the missions "rakkaholics anonimous" and "bearer of bad news", so I ended up with a few new weapons out of nowhere. They are not game changing weapons, so I believe it is not a big deal in the end. I had no luck with an evisceration rubi so I kept the best slag one I obtained. Still getting the hang of what I can do and what I can't do with my current gear. I absolutely need a decent RL for second winds.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j6iJ8…
PART 47 - Saturn and the Badlands
I was waiting for this mission since day one! Finally I got to kill Saturn.
I have to say, this is far from hard. It is really easy to avoid damage, but man, it took so long. This is the bigger problem of UVHM: it's not harder, it's just tedious. Gearbox should really work on AI in the next borderlands, because let's face it: enemies are completely dumb. They just keep firing the same attack over, and over, and over, and while they are attacking you can't do anything, because enemies automatically know your location 100% of the time, with 100% of accuracy. You just have to wait, and wait and wait until they lose aggro. Waiting games are boring. I finally found a nice RL, nothing really important happened.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7fr8K…
PART 48 - Hero's Pass
Here starts the grand finale. I obtained an Order, just to be sure. At first, it appeared to strip fine with my current tesla but it ended up not stripping at all. After a few tries with double-nades, I dropped it and decided to not use it anymore. Finding a nice alkaline blue maylay in a vending machine made me forget about orders, hides, love thumpers or whatever. I learned to love that shield.
Hero's pass was a cakewalk, I really enjoyed MMF, unfortunately the constructors... they are so annoying. And boring. I couldn't reach them with melee, I wasn't in the mood to risk my life just to reach them, so I had to kill them the tedious way.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SDNi7…
PART 49 - FINALE
Warrior melee kill with law and blue maylay shield: jump to minute 23:05
Last part of this playthrough.
I sped up the constructor kill because it was really, really, REALLY boring. Gearbox should seriously improve the AI in the next game because once you learn the attack patterns nothing can really kill you and everything is just boring. Probably the only thing that can kill you is boredom, because at a certain point you just lose the patience. At the vault it didn't go too well, but I was running out of time and I had to speed things up, so after a few attempts (I think i died 3 times but I cut them from the video because it was really getting too long) I decided to go coward mode and snipe from the safe spot. However I was really disappointed and I wanted to redo the fight the day after when I had more time, so i did it and I added the melee fight to the end of the video. This prove that whatever you do in UVHM, the warrior is going to die in a way or another, even with bad gear. The sniper was a green diaub, the law you already know, and the maylay shield was an alkaline blue one. I used it over an order with almost 2x its damage because I couldn't strip the order reliably with my current tesla and I had to discard it. So I wasn't even using the law/order combo for this fight.
In the end the warrior puked me a nearly perfect corrosive practicable conference call. Was about time to see an orange lol.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNwkNK…
The playthrough has ended, however I'm still leveling up further and doing the dlcs. I will Stream my future sessions live on Twitch and you can see the broadcasts on this page: www.twitch.tv/altairgaming/pr.…
I will still post on this thread the most remarkable achievements made with only found gear and very limited farming, especially some raiding by Striker where he is using my character. I think he is the best to show how far it is possible to go without endgame gear.

That Is Basically How My Playthrough on UVHM went,I remember that time i was playing as zer0 I Spent Like HOURS trying to go through the Bloodshot Stronghold
