Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2 is a shoot-and-loot game set on Pandora. You play as one of four new Vault Hunters, facing creatures, psychos and Handsome Jack, the evil mastermind and CEO of the Hyperion Corporation. Left for dead in Pandora’s frozen tundra, you set out on a quest for revenge and redemption, uncovering Hyperion’s deception and confronting Jack, who has taken credit for opening the Vault.

Vault Hunters

Choose from four classes: the Siren, the Commando, the Gunzerker and the Assassin. The Gunzerker can wield any two weapons at once, including machine guns, rocket launchers and sniper rifles, and can develop this skill to do more with dual-wielded weapons. The other classes offer different styles, including more tactical options.

Co-op adventures

Play the campaign with friends online or over LAN, with up to four players fighting together. The drop-in, drop-out system lets players join or leave without restarting the game, and gear collected in one game can be taken into another.

Pandora and its enemies

Explore new areas across a living, unpredictable Pandora, from arctic tundra and dangerous grasslands to mysterious corrosive caverns. New enemies include hulking, gorilla-like Bullymongs, predatory Stalkers and the Hyperion mechanical army, which is run by Handsome Jack.

Weapons and loot

The game has a new gun system and procedurally generated equipment, including shields, grenades, Relics and class mods. The description also highlights a vast range of loot and weapons.
