Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, also known as Borderlands 2.5, drops you right onto the moon of Pandora’s solar system. It’s part shooter, part looter, and full of that signature Borderlands humor. Ever wondered what led Handsome Jack to become the villain you love to hate? This game gives you a peek, while letting you bounce around in low gravity, jetpack strapped and blasting away with some seriously strange weapons.

What’s the game about?

Set between the events of Borderlands and Borderlands 2, this prequel mixes action and comedy with a sci-fi twist. You play as one of four new Vault Hunters, each with unique skills. The twist? You’re navigating the moon’s surface, so gravity messes with how you move and shoot. If you’ve played another Borderlands game, you’ll spot familiar mechanics, but there’s enough new stuff here to keep you guessing.

Key Features

• Low gravity combat: Jump higher, float longer, and get creative with your shots. Ever felt like Spider-Man on the moon? Almost.
• Four unique Vault Hunters: Each character offers a different playstyle. Pick your favorite and see what combos you can pull off.
• Weird and wonderful weapons: From laser guns to elemental effects. Tip: always carry something that makes noise—intimidation works.
• Story of Handsome Jack: Watch how this infamous villain went from charming to downright scary.
• New enemies and missions: Need a challenge? You got it. The enemies here mix things up, making battles less predictable.

Why give Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel a shot?

If you like first-person shooters that don’t take themselves too seriously, this one fits the bill. The humor is on point without going overboard, and the quirks of low gravity add a fresh layer to combat. Plus, the co-op mode means it’s more fun with friends—just don’t forget to watch your step while bouncing around.

Quick tips for new players

1. Jetpacks are your best friend—use them to dodge and reach tricky spots.
2. Experiment with different weapon types; mixing lasers with grenades feels oddly satisfying.
3. Keep an eye on your oxygen meter—it’s not just about ammo here.
4. Don’t skip side missions; the extra loot makes a difference.

Bottom line? Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel isn’t just a filler between two hits. It adds its own spacy spin that keeps things interesting. Just watch out for fall damage—moon doesn’t forgive clumsiness. Ready to jump in? Grab your gear and prepare for some zero-G shootouts.
