Players Like...

❤ Mobility and Maneuverability

Players can take advantage of the reduced gravity on the moon of Elpis to perform a variety of new movement options. Double jumping, gliding, and "butt-slam" attacks allow you to reposition yourself creatively during combat, engaging enemies from unexpected vantage points. This added verticality and mobility freshens up the familiar Borderlands combat.

❤ Oxygen Management

Navigating the hazardous lunar environment requires carefully managing your oxygen supply using specialized "Oz Kits." These devices not only provide breathable air, but also grant additional abilities like boosted jump height and air control. Carefully conserving and replenishing your oxygen becomes a strategic consideration when exploring low-atmosphere areas.

❤ Laser Weapons

A brand new weapon type, laser guns, dynamically adapt their functionality based on whether you're using them in an atmosphere or the vacuum of space. These high-tech firearms provide a distinctive new option to complement the traditional ballistic and elemental weapons.

❤ Cryo Element

The new "Cryo" elemental damage type can freeze enemies solid, making them vulnerable to shattering melee attacks. This opens up opportunities to control the battlefield through crowd-controlling frozen foes.

❤ Weapon Grinder

The inclusion of a "Weapon Grinder" allows you to combine lower-quality guns, potentially creating higher-tier firearms. This mechanic encourages experimenting with a wider variety of guns, offering an additional avenue for gear progression.

❤ Diverse Character Classes

The four new playable Vault Hunters each bring their own distinct skill sets and playstyles to the table: Athena the Gladiator focuses on defensive abilities and elemental damage, Wilhelm the Enforcer specializes in powerful robotic summons and heavy weaponry, Nisha the Lawbringer excels with high-damage revolvers and crowd control, and Claptrap the Fragtrap wields a wide array of random, chaotic abilities. This expanded roster, combined with the returning Vault Hunters, provides ample opportunity to customize your preferred playstyle.

❤ Improved Character Interaction

A notable improvement is the increased dialogue and personality expressed by the playable characters. Vault Hunters now have unique voices and engage in conversations with NPCs, building a stronger sense of identity and immersion within the game world.
