Borderlands | Revolvers Only Mordecai Challenge Run | Day #1 

It's time for a new challenge run! QOTD: What is your worst injury?

This run would actually be considered canon, seeing as Mordecai managed to win a sniping contest using a revolver.

This is gonna be the easiest run of all time

My mother used to sell Tupperware and knives when I was a little younger and I sat on one of the containers that had the blades in it and the lid collapsed, causing a knife to go through my left knee and almost remove my leg. I was 3

Worst injury: My wife and I were snorkeling in Hawaii once and saw a sea turtle. We decided to watch it, and ended up floating really close to some big rocks of coral, which are extremely sharp. When we came up for a breath, some big waves crashed into both of us and slammed us up against the coral multiple times. My wife was actually sucked up underneath the coral rock and blacked out and I had to go underneath and grab her. We ended up climbing on top of the coral rocks to get away from the waves. We came out with tons of gashes and bruises, black eyes, ripped off toenail and fingernails, a concussion, and some broken ribs.

In my opinion, BL1 has the most satisfying revolvers in the entire series. They just lost some of their "oomph" in BL2.

Mordecai was the first character i played as in borderlands, it was a co-op playthrough with my dad and bl1 will always have a special place in my memories

My worst injury is when I fell off the side of a mountain and tumbled about 3/4 of a mile through boulders, trees, and bushes

Two words... Testicular Torsion... When i was a kid, balls were supposed to drop, but instead, the first ball got stuck, so they had to open the sack to pull it down, however, if you had it first time, there is a chance the other ball gets stuck aswell... It did... Needless to say, it kinda hurt...

I was riding my friends bike to school. Long story short, the brakes didn't work and I hit the curb and I fell on my arms against said curb, breaking them both at the same time

My worst injury has been 3 dislocations in my left knee leaving me with a stiff knee I couldn't bend for an entire year until I finally got approved for surgery. After finally getting surgery I was stuck on my couch with nothing to do and that's when I found Borderlands 2 and most importantly your RU-vid channel!! Yes I spent 120 hours of my life stuck on a couch farming for the 94% Sham with Zer0 because I could. I loved every second of it!

QOTD Answer. I work in the steel industry and had a 100+pound black of steel on a magnet hanging up in the air. The magnet disengaged while I was cleaning under it, and it fell and crushed two of my fingers, resulting in a pretty bloody mess. They look kind of funny now, but I can still feel them for the most part.

Alright my worst injury was when I was a kid I was playing in the back of my house bare footed and I accidentally kicked a piece of rusty old metal roof and it sliced my toe open, never told my parents anything and dealth with it on my own and I low-key thought I was gonna lose my big toe or even my whole foot because of it, luckily that didn't happen but being a kid when it happened had me scared beyond belief.

I had been binging the past bl1 playthroughs on repeat recently. This is just what i needed 😭

The first time I did that dlc, I instinctively grenade jumped over the hospital fence and skipped hank. I legit didn't even realize I had skipped a boss.

It feels GOOD to see the OG borderlands again. Makes me want to pull it out and start another run

My worst injury is bad stomache ache from eating some chili with bad cheese, definitly worse pain than fracturing my collor bone

Can’t wait to see a lil mashin’ Edit: 4:55 no way this is amazing

Awesome challenge run. Thank you jolts for helping keep the borderlands community alive

Just started my first ever bl1 run on Mordecai, so I am excited to watch you play! My worst injury was when I accidently pulsed an immersion blender on my finger.

Yes! Borderlands 1!!! The Revolver QOTD a couple days ago makes sense now

My worst injury is one people can't see, my depression. It prevents me from doing the bare minimum like going outside without getting stomach pains and cold sweats and having a job because of fear of failure. I just can't be happy :/ Love the videos Joltz!

When i learned the Doc-Mercy Skip existed, Krieg was out and was the only character i played, I learned 8years later that it was indeed not my fault i could not do the jump, that lead to some heavy annoyance back then.

Just got out of a really long shift and theres nothing better than a joltz video to relax to ❤

i see a lot of challenge runs that im like no way i can do this but this challenge is one that i love to see how far he gets and how far i can do it too. thank you joltz for the amazing content

Hey Joltz! Been a longtime viewer and actually got my hands on BL1 playing through for the first time I am very excited!

Joltz I been watching you for a min now and I jus wanna say I love your vids man keep it up

Joltz, the day I decided to revisit my absolute favorite game BL1, you start the video series with my favorite character in game! Love your content ❤

My worst injury isn't as extreme as some of the other ones around here, but once, back when my brothers were in scouts, I tagged along for a hike they were going on, and at one point was standing near our (sadly gone) very hyper/eager dog. He noticed something, and sprinted *full speed* behind me, and dragged his leash across the back of my knees, rug burning the *crap* out of them. I then had to walk the entire hike with the *pits of my knees* rug burned. I still remember the hike so vividly because of the pain I was in forcing me to focus on everything I could to distract myself lmao.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Favorite Borderlands, favorite characters AND favorite gun type! This is gonna be hype! No other Borderlands game has captured just how CRUNCHY the revolvers feel!

This game is the best, I'm happy someone is playing this in 2024! I miss the Crawmerax & Knox base runs, makes me want to DL it again just to do runssss. Oh the good ol' days

My worst injury was when I fell into a fountain that had rocks at the bottom, except there was no water. One of the rocks gashed a really big hole on my head that needed me to get stitches for weeks. Even today, 20 years later, and I still have an indent and scar there, though thankfully high enough that it's covered by hair.

When I was around 8 years old, we were at a park that had wooden swings. I was standing on the swing and jumped off but didn't jump far enough away, so the swing ended up hitting me in the head and gave me a 6 inch gash on my scalp that needed 8 staples to close.

I recently dislocated my shoulder, and because of the way I dislocated it, I was forced to leave work for over 6 months. (your videos have helped a lot and gotten me back into borderlands during the healing process so thank you!)

I worked at a kitchen for Hy-Vee ( a grocery store chain here in the midwest). While using a mandolin for slicing vegetables, I ended up removing the corner and tip of my right hand ring finger. It was pretty painful, but the worst part is I was so young and dumb that I was using hydrogen peroxide to clean it. Now I have a really weird spot of skin that hurts when it is cold outside. I also realized later in life that my fingerprints didn't match up to my records anymore, which ended up in a fun experience at a police station when I was getting a security license.

QOTD: Once I nearly shattered my left wrist after falling off a 2 meter tall rock. My wrist was held together using ligaments and tendons yet was still able to function. Oh and it dislocated too in that same wrist.

I’ve been waiting for you to do this run for so long hell yeag

it's super cool to see you do this run! my favorite gun type, and the funniest thing is, I'm doing a pseudo revolver run myself that I started a few days ago, cleared DLC 2 and 4 with a 2 mag masher and my first cash run of Knoxx, first chest? defiler.

My WORST injury was back in elementary school on the playground, we had a wire fence that separated the basketball court from the grass field, the fence had sharp metal that was curved to resemble a heart shape well… I was playing with some class mates and I wrapped my hand around THAT part and from the base of my pinky to the tip the fence FILET my pinky and bone was exposed. It was great explaining that to the doctors while in shock, they gave me 20 stitches and pain killers.

In terms of worst injury... It's a tossup between the time I ran into the corner of a table running from a decidedly dead bee and my forehead started bleeding, (real dramatic like, too, fell to my knees and had the blood drip onto my arm before realizing it was my forehead) or it's the time I cut open my finger trying to chop up a bell pepper. Still have the J shaped scar it left on my finger.

Fractured my skull. When I was a kid, I slipped when walking down the polished wooden stairs we had at the time while in my socks. It was at night time so it could have been pretty bad if it wasn't for my parent's bedroom being at the bottom and me waking them up by hitting my head into the door.

I buckled fracture my forearm when I was 15 worst pain I ever felt especially seeing my bone break so clean it was scary and disgusting huge fan keep up the great work

I loved the squiky chair montage , real ytpoop vibe

Chipped the bone that your patella tracks in. Fully opened me up and put two screws to put it back in. I also had a high chance to dislocate my knee afterwards so they cut my quad muscle and wrapped it around my knee to make it stable. 4 years later and one quad is still smaller

Been waiting for a borderlands 1 run let’s go ‼️

Man I love pistol only runs in the borderlands series. So many great options available.

Got my finger caught between a boat and a bridge and my finger exploded

Damn. This is gonna be an enjoyable series. QOTD: My worst injury would have to be the ripping, tearing and dislocation of my middle finger. It required Stiches, a Metal Rod through to keep it straight and 8 weeks of not being able to move a majority of my right hand.

Back in 2004, I was skating home from a friend's house and tripped on a rock. I fell with both of my arms in from of me, right arm farther out, so when all my body weight hit, my left arm snapped in half and both bones were push out and over where they broke off (though, luckily didn't break skin)

My worst injury was in a car crash when I was 15. Was taking a nap with my foot on the dash.. Woke up and lo and behold the driver had also taken a nap, and we drove straight into a One Way sign. It slammed through the windshield and nearly cut off my foot from the ankle. I was helicopter lifted to the best hospital within 100 miles and had surgery that night. Thankfully I have my foot and full functionality due to a great doctor. Pretty wild experience.

Got an underground wasp sting the upper corner of my eye socket in middle school and now I'm traumatized to anything that buzzes and passes by my ear. Had to also get a wasp out of my apartment today so that was nice.

Revolver only Mordecai will forever be my favorite way to play borderlands this BL1 masher are just too good

I love watching joltz playing borderlands 1

Got into a car accident 7 months ago at work and still out on workers comp. Can’t stand or sit for longer than half an hour at a time, love the videos ❤

QOTD: Though I dont actually remember it happening, when I was around 5 or 7 I was attempting to climb over a fence that I had accidentally locked myself into, and since it was a fairly worn down fence with those spike - like things on the top that were begining to split open, I caught my leg on one on the way down and I carved my left leg straight open and left a mighty scar, pretty gnarly

After a long day I always come home and cook me some dinner and while I eat. I've ALWAYS gotta turn on a joltz video 😂😂

Worse injury you say? Well the one I can think of off the top of my head is when I was in third grade I had a metal toy airplane, I was running around playing with it when another kid ran into me. I fell face first onto that little toy plane, and it went straight into my eye. It misses my eyeball barely but SHREDDED the daylights out of the surrounding tissue, and I had to have the injury glued shut.

Joltz for a QOTD you should do like "What's your favorite Borderlands games art style and why" type of question. I always forget how awesome BL1 looks even though it is so old.

Was jumping on rocks at the bus loop in middle school, misjudged one jump and gashed the front of my leg open so bad I thought I was seeing bone. The scar still hasn't healed almost 20 years later.

Love a good bl1 run from Joltz!

Torn medial meniscus during the Army. Blew my knee out during a 10km ruck march and proceeded to ignore it for two years. Now, post-surgery, my knee dislocates if I squat on my left leg

There's a couple injuries that are kinda on the same level, but I think the one that was the worst was when I was younger, I was sliding down our stairs in a sleeping bag for whatever reason. Until the last time when my feet hit the floor at the bottom and flipped me up, slamming my head into the edge of the radiator on the wall. My parents describe it as "It looked like someone broke in and tried to split you in half with an axe."

One time in school I was taken by the hands spun and thrown onto the ground. Of course there's always a catch, and this is no exception. Right where my head would land there was already something. A wedge shaped rock. Oddly enough the part that actually hurt was the weeks after in which I had to deal with the glue used to seal my noggin stuck in my hair.

Worst injury for me was when I broke my arm the second time. Got pushed while standing on a piano bench, landed on my arm, and had to not only get it put in a cast, but pins put in as well. Not a fun summer at all, and you can still see the scarring from the pins near my wrist.

It's hard to believe this game came out about 15 years ago. I remember playing through Borderlands when I was 11.

this is what ive always waited for. mordy will always be number 1

BL1 Runs are always fun

I had a dog bite my arm when I was, I think, 10. It got infected, and they said if the red patch on my arm went past a line they had drawn on my arm to come back, and it did. I was in the hospital for 1 week with the chance of losing my right arm to infection. Luckily, I made it through and still have my right arm, but I have scars permanently from the dog bite.

My worst injury was a big scrape on my left knee when I was 7, which didn't heal completely until months after, because the wound kept reopening after other trips and falls. I swear I had a personal beef with gravity when I was younger. You would still be able to see the mark where it was now.

YAY lets go baby! This is gonna be a fun one! Might take awhile though with the world drop only legendary weapons. BL1, despite it's jank, is still my favorite of the games

Still love this game. Thanks for the new strats.

I work as a variety performer and while practicing fire lasso the flaming rope wrapped around my legs and gave me 2nd and 3rd degree burns up to about my knees.

Back a few years ago my Mum had a rather large, heavy, ornate porcelain plate hung above a door frame for decoration. Fast forward to me doing some renovations and carrying a step ladder through the house, vertically, thus causing this plate to get knocked off the wall and onto my head. Wound up with my skull cracked, my head glued back together, and a few days in A&E lol

I looked this up yesterday swearing I'd seen it before I can't wait to see more!

I remember my brother telling me about the Doc Mercy geyser skip. We had no idea why my brother could do it but I couldn't. We later learned that Krieg is just that much thicker than everyone else.

Worst injury has to be when I was a kid I was messing around in the storage room in our house and there was a empty propane tank in the corner and when I tried to pull it out it snagged my big toe nail and nearly pulled the whole thing off.

My worst injury just happened last week, I got sucked into a lathe and broke my arm,wrist and fingers. Your videos help with my long recovery time

I like how the reload at 10:50 was in sync with the music.

When I was a teenager I was a big bushcraft nerd, and for my confirmation, I was given a really nice axe! On my second tree the axe slipped and went right into my leg and cut 4 inches wide and down to the tibia. Bled like hell, but luckily I wasn't alone in the woods, otherwise I might have died from blood loss

My worst injury is when I had an accident on an ATV in the woods when I was like 8. I rammed into a tree at full speed and almost bit my tongue off because I had a metal spacer in my mouth. I had to get stitches on the side of it and I had a scar across the middle for years.

I remember the first time I fired "Patton" and it felt POWERFUL. Wasn't used to "feeling" weapons in games until then.

Idk what it is, but there’s just a certain charm about BL1 that the other borderlands games haven’t been able to replicate. Same thing also applies to Halo CE compared to the other Halos.

my worst injury: i went to bootcamp for marines & broke my femur in half due to a hairline fracture i had for 5 days. got surgery 2 hours afterwards & now a rod in my entire upper leg. was in a wheelchair for 3 months, on crutches for 3 weeks or so. it’s been years since then & i’m happy to report that my femur has fully recovered

I love bl1 runs, thanks Joltz

My worst injury was once when I was little child, I was playing and jumping from the second floor on the rooftop and I ran out of ground (like in the roadrunner cartoons when the coyote fall until he look down) falling to the first floor and tearing off almost half of my tongue with my teeth.. To this day I still have a piece of my tongue missing.

I do enjoy a BL1 run. Always a fun watch

My worst injury was when i was 10. There was this thorn bush with a hole at the bottom you could crawl through, and when i was crawling through i friend grabbed my leg to scare me, and i freaked out. The thorns ended up ripping most of the skin on the back of my neck off, and i had a stay in the hospital for a few weeks. Thankfully, the cuts weren't deep, but it was traumatising for younger me.

nothing but love for joltz and k6

Dude I had the game when it was year one and I figured that jump out first time I got to that map. It is a classic now.

Worst injury came after a motorcycle accident, broken ribs, AC separation to level 3, most of the skin down my left side gone, brake level broke into my shin bone, broke three fingers, sprained wrist and ankle. Had full protective gear on.

I have fractured a spinal bone in a car accident. Fun fact there is no cast or splint for it, you just lay on your stomach and wait for it to heal.

I had facial reconstructive surgery, two years ago, and my jaw was wired shut and for about a month or two I had a liquid diet through a straw. I also still have numbness in my face and a numb spot on my thigh, where they took a bone graph off of my hip, but now I can smile confidently

Joltz: day 1 will be melee Day 1: running

Worst injury, of all time, was getting my left leg *accidentally* amputated. Happened back in ‘09 of the 20th Century, cause was a John Deere lawn mower. Fully conscious for it all, foot and ankle comes clean off, calf ripped to shreds. Aftermath was being airlifted to hospital and surgery done. Rest is history. Was 5 at the time, 5 1/2 to be more specific.

LET'S GOOOOOOO ANOTHER BL1 RUN I'm super content with life now

I was thinking thinking the other day that I hope you do more BL1 soon. Hell yeah dude

My worst injury: I worked in a warehouse and I was cutting the angles of the box (to make it smaller) with a utility knife. The blade got stuck and I started to use force to get it off and then I cut myself on the palm of my hand (I was holding it with my thumb and first finger) because the blade was way too much out. Wound required 9 stitches to patch up. Doctor told me after a exam that I was kinda lucky because it didn't damage any nerves.

My first ever BL1 run was a gunslinger Mord. Found a machine pistol and with the fire rate perks the sound would keep bugging out because it was firing too fast. Then I found a masher and a defiler, combined that with an ammo regen mod with even MORE fire rate, and I still never had to scrounge for ammo since pistol and revolver ammo are separate.

My worst injury happened in 2nd grade when another kid dropped a large rock on my ankle. I remember he lifted it up with two hands and dropped it right on the bone. I ended up having to wrap my ankle up for weeks, no cast thankfully, but I had a limp for the rest of the school year

The amount of times I quote joltz during my daily life is getting out of hand at this point 😂😂😂
