She’s tricky to use like Zero, but managing to get used to her low accuracy has big rewards. She can summon a powerful robot she calls Deathtrap to wreck havoc, plus invest in elemental damage and risky big hits at the cost of her accuracy. This eventually brought her to Pandora and the vault hunters. Gaige the Mechromancer – One of the two DLC characters, Gaige is a tinkerer who accidentally killed her rich rival in a contest. Difficult to play as, especially with a lack of defensive options, but incredibly powerful when mastered. Zero’s the Mordecai replacement, complete with sniping tree that comes with huge critical boosts, and gaining a character ability that functions like Lilith’s, leaving a hologram out as they goes invisible to get a massive critical and damage bonus with the next hit. They’re basically if Grey Fox was an FPS gamer. All that’s certain is that Zero loves a challenging kill and speaks in haiku. Nobody has any idea what their gender is, or even their species. Zero the Assassin – The single most mysterious character in all of Borderlands. He also can get buffs when at low health. He’s the Brick of the vanilla version, except his specialty is gun combat, allowing quick change and dual wielding for massive damage. When Jack turned on him, he still got what he wanted. Salvador the Gunzerker – Pandora native, Salvador joined up looking for excitement and the chance to kill bad guys in a variety of awesome ways. She focuses on healing, status effects, and defensive abilities. The actual leader of this group and Lilith’s replacement, though her power levitates and locks enemies in place instead of creating explosions. When she found out said order was using threats of her siren powers to control the populace, she killed them all and journeyed to Pandora to learn more about the origin of her strange magic abilities. Maya the Siren – A former resident of planet Athenas, Maya used to be a sort of living deity in a religious order. Notably canonically bisexual, due to a line bug where he’d hit on male and female characters the developers decided to leave in and make apart of his character officially in DLC. He plays a similar role to Roland in the last game, complete with turret summoning, but now with a focus on doing damage in flashy ways over healing support (distractions, explosion buffs, ect). He now looks for money and thrills where he can, thus bringing him to Pandora to find a vault. These vault hunters include…Īxton the Commando – A former Dahl corp commando, Axton was kicked out for his tendency to cause unnecessary destruction and loss of life on his missions. Pandora is in a desperate fight against the wealthy despot, and a group of six new vault hunters are pushed right in the middle of it. CEO Handsome Jack has come to tame the borderlands, hiring vault hunters to help him find another vault on Pandora and open it for whatever valuables it contains, but it’s clear more is going on after he tries to kill his newest hires. The valuable substance has all sorts of strange properties, including being useful as an energy source and a genetic mutator, but the new head of Hyperion has different plans for it. Set five years after the original four vault hunters opened the vault to find only a monster, the Hyperion corporation has gotten a grasp on Pandora to mine a new mineral produced from the event – eridium. To say Borderlands 2 is a good game is an understatement, and it has ended up becoming massively influential.for better and worse. Still, before everything went horribly, horribly wrong, they managed to create a sequel that improved so much on the previous release that it basically made its existence obsolete. For a brief moment in time, Gearbox found themselves on top of the world, with looming failure and bitter disappointment just beyond the horizon. Borderlands 2 was a phenomenon when it finally released, managing to become one of the highest selling games of 2012 and having moved roughly thirteen million units by August 2015. ![]() A sequel would definitely happen, and happen it did. The original Borderlands ended up being more successful than first expected, netting about three to four and a half million units sold.
