Vault Hunters fight the charismatic tyrant Handsome Jack on the planet Pandora. It's a co-op looter shooter with billions of guns and a sharp sense of humour. Its DLC and villain are fan favourites.
Kit's verdict · 8.9/10
The best Borderlands, thanks to Handsome Jack and endless loot.Kit · Sadkitty Games

Not so much

Tips
Play it better
- Slag weapons coat enemies so they take double damage from other elements; swap to a different gun after slagging.
- Match elements to targets: shock for shields, fire for flesh and corrosive for armour and robots.
- Badass Rank challenges give small permanent stat boosts across all your characters.
- Redeem SHiFT codes for golden keys, which open the golden chest in Sanctuary for high-level loot.
- Finishing the story unlocks True Vault Hunter Mode, a harder replay that keeps your level and gear.
- When you're downed, kill an enemy during Fight For Your Life to get a Second Wind and stand back up.
