Pro Gamer Matt “BLiTZ” Siegfried – who describes himself as a “multi-genre/multi-console world champion, speedrunner, high score chaser, tournament player, co-op lover, and OSU [Ohio state University] student” – has reached the Borderlands 2 level cap in just 43 hours, 15 minutes and 23 second.

According to Record Setter, Siegfried began playing shortly after the game’s midnight launch in the US last Tuesday.

In order to set the record the game must be started at level one with no pre-earned bonuses or equipment. Video evidence of the achievement must be provided.

Borderlands 2 became the biggest selling game at launch so far this year, but that’s a record which will surely be smashed by FIFA 13 next week.
