  1. No
  2. Just one of you, the host of the game
  3. Having a timer is required if you want to have load removal. The timer we use can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/LiveSplit/LiveSplit/releases/download/1.7.5/LiveSplit_1.7.5.zip
  4. There is a splits file you can use here: https://www.speedrun.com/splits/BL2_Splits_x8kyc.zip
  5. For glitchless you definitely want to have at least one Maya because of cloud kill. Probably optimal to have both of you playing as her, but other characters like Zero or Salvador could work as well. Glitchless is also going to be very extremely dependent on farming good gear. The Lyuda is easily the best gun you can farm for, with the fastball probably being the next best thing you can get.
