r/Borderlands

I'll start. I'd give Zer0 a teleporting ability that can later be upgraded to drop a grenade where he was (green tree)

and I'd give Zer0 a giant AOE sword attack (specifically harms enemies in a wide horizontal area infront of you) that can scale with his melee abilities (Red tree)

And that would leave him with Deception as his blue tree ability.

I only know about Mayas successor and it seems like BL3 DLG was hinting that Lillith survived teleporting the Great Vault away so thats maybe 2 I know about Amara but thats it

I've played all the borderlands to some degree . I have BL 2, 3 , pre sequel and 4 . But only recently my girlfriend started to play with me ( not a gamer really 🤣) . We started with 4 as it was new to both of us .

But now my love grows for the franchise and everything overwhelms me . I have no idea when the best time to play a dlc is , I don't know how to make a good build , I don't understand UVH or anything to do with it . I want to experience all of it ,in all games but when is a good time to hop into a dlc , when is it good to farm bosses , is low level farming pointless , how do I know what guns are god tier , why is my legendary bad compared to my girlfriends .

If this overwhelms me I'm sure she will give up eventually, she just shoots and moves on but doesn't understand anything about the mechanics

I need a guide or something 🤣

God, there will just never be an action skill as dangerously addictive as that ever again, will there?

Like a never ending feed of dopamine.

Wel I have played every borderlands game, so last night when I found a copy of the original game (not enhanced or goty) in my brothers closet I grabbed it and currently downloading? Any tips or things I should know I have played tps 2 3 and 4 btw so I know the lore after

Brick. I don’t get his class. What am I missing? I’m level 22. Played through far enough to jump in to Tartarus Station for the Robolution DLC, knowing I can farm the chests at the end and upgrade all my gear. I have two points in the Blaster capstone skill so I can regenerate a few rockets for my launcher, but not getting any after kills. Relying on smg with corrosive damage mostly. Should I split between health and shield from tank skill tree, and damage from blaster skill tree? The other character’s skill trees made perfect sense to me. 😒

Hello, I'm still pretty new to the community of these games. I've beaten 1-3, and currently working on the fourth. Tried the Pre-Sequel but wasn't a fan, and haven't played either of the Tales games yet. I have TTWL in my library so I'll get around to that one eventually as well.

I was wondering if these games had any kind of comedic, joke types of weapons that I may be overlooking. Like guns that absolutely suck on purpose, or funny names, shapes, sounds, etc.

Rules are you can’t do ones lie doctors orders or the grug nozzle one. Basically none that people will use for farming or for its rewards

Im gonna be buying this finally the last dlc I need I know have presequel and BL2 the rest of the games im not sure if I want to buy them yet hahahahah

Basically what it says. What is everyone least favorite enemy to run into in each the Borderlands?

Also, do you have a favored enemy?

Hello fellow Borderlands lore likers/lovers! Here to start a discussion on the lore because I love hearing people's opinions 🙏 that said...

- what characters would you LOVE to see return? This includes niche characters by the way.

- Another question: what other media do you think Gearbox should produce for Borderlands? This includes books, other games, podcasts etc.

Also- if you have discord and love to chat about Borderlands characters/lore and/or write Borderlands stuff, let me know. Always looking for new friends. (Mods lmk if this isnt allowed ill edit/delete.)

What if for a BL3 Pre-Sequel you played as a bunch of bandits/mercenaries fighting for various corporations or the Twin Gods. You could have VHs based on specific enemies, maybe a Goliath Vault Hunter, or maybe a former member of the Dahl Lost Legion, or the New Pandora Legion, anything really.

The game is also running pretty laggy but I don't care about that I just wanna fix the no asset in inventory problem

Title. Is there anything that we're still missing form the general pool of Vault Hunters that we have? We have heavy melee hitters, guys with endless bullet streams, mech summoning, having robot turrets, spellcasters, etc. Is there anything we're missing that you'd like to see become a Vault Hunter?

The two ideas I have right now is a hook character and maybe something DMC/Ultrakill inspired. I'm kinda surprised when I think about how Borderlands has never had someone with a simple hook/melee combo thing considering how common it is in shooters today. Just as simple as a skill tree around bringing enemies close to kill with a shotgun blast or melee followup, maybe with modifiers to make it do elemental damage, bring in multiple at once, create novas, etc.

As for Ultrakill/DMC I know we've had character bonuses for switching weapons fast but what about someone whose entire character was built on that, not just a skill tree, and each skill tree just focused on a different aspect of combos/score? Maybe they could have a score meter that with greater score the more damage they deal, so they'd be running around, switching constantly, using melee, sliding and slams for damage, etc.

Some of these ideas are probably better than others but I'm sure someone out there has better ideas than me. What do you think?

Hello, I bought the game as a Steam key. The GOTY version is already translated into my language (modders translated it), but the Enhanced version is not. Will I enjoy playing the GOTY version? I've never played the series before.

Waiting on approval for BL4 specific, but this question is killing me! Have no idea where to go to do it, I apparently left the area, and every 3secs, I get the DO IT RIGHT BEFORE I'M BURNT TOAST. Help my sanity to play this game I love to hate...

I just hit lilith lvl 50 on my platinum run and i want to know what are some builds i can use for here (i dont like thinking about each skill tree and how they can help me)

Does anyone have the trophy? It is the last one I need for the platinum if anyone can help please

I feel a little biased. I have been playing BL for about 2 years now. But I got "the handsomest collection", and have completed every borderlands game besides the 2 stories. So when BL4 introduced the "Armor" variant shields, I basically completely ignored them.

Can anyone explain to me what the cost/benefit would be for using armor shields vs energy?

For reference, best shields i have in each category

Energy: Tortoise stanchion 128k

Armor: Little sister 47k (now 171k)

Edit: got a 171k little sister from a hardcore hadrons abyss last night. So it's good to know you can still roll a high capacity Armor shield
