Plan your next Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel session
Our independent guide breaks down Borderlands: The Pre‑Sequel’s core systems, helping you master the lunar chaos without relying on external tutorials. By focusing on each major component—story, combat, classes, vehicles, and platform tools—you’ll build a well‑rounded approach that works for solo runs and co‑op sessions alike.
01 / THE GUIDE
Story Contextualization
Read the opening cutscenes and note key motivations for Handsome Jack. Compare these with his later actions in Borderlands 2 to see how early choices foreshadow his villainy.
- Pay attention to dialogue cues that hint at Jack’s future decisions.
- Consider how your choices might reflect the series’ recurring themes of greed and power.
02 / THE GUIDE
Low‑Gravity Movement
Practice jumping and floating in an open area. Measure how far you can travel vertically versus previous Borderlands titles, then experiment with aerial attacks using ice weapons.
- Use high jumps to gain line‑of‑sight on distant targets.
- Combine freezing and laser fire for layered damage.
03 / THE GUIDE
Class Ability Comparison
Create a short run with each of the four new classes. Record which abilities feel most effective against different enemy types, then discuss findings with a co‑op partner.
- Experiment with each class to discover which fits your preferred combat style.
- Mix classes in co‑op to cover a broader range of abilities.
04 / THE GUIDE
Vehicle Combat Drills
Drive a vehicle into a populated combat zone. Observe how speed and weapon fire interact, and note any advantages in reaching distant loot or escaping overwhelming foes.
- Use vehicles to break through enemy lines and reach hidden loot.
- Combine vehicle speed with weapon fire for maximum impact.
05 / THE GUIDE
Platform Feature Utilization
Enable Remote Play on TV and test a co‑op session from the couch. Verify that achievements and cloud saves sync correctly across both devices.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep your save data safe across installations.
- Try Remote Play on TV for a couch‑co‑op experience.
