Forum:Challenge Mode



My friends and I have completed borderlands through many times, doing the same things each time, we know what weapons we want and what skills to get and we were looking for another challenge beyond what the game throws at you.

We have previously done only one "challenge mode" playthrough, with certain restrictions to make the game a lot more difficult and more exciting, Melee only. You are allowed to use action skills and weapons with blades, but not to shoot anything. We punched our way to nine toes, took the clipper, and after a while sledge's shotgun. It was a fun start and stayed fun all the way through the original content and knox DLC. With berserk mode and Phase Strike, it wasn't too hard to stop being fun.

We are now looking for more ideas and I thought I'd ask here, what do you think would be a crazy, insane or just fun playthrough? Here are our current ideas:

Melee only.

Starter weapons only.

Pistols only.

Red flavour text weapons only.

Gearbox/Chosen maufacturer only.

No shields.

Quest rewards items only (No loot/No shop).

Let me know what you think, your own ideas and attempts of challenge playthroughs. Zuphix 18:49, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
