Borderlands is a genre-defining looter-shooter that combines first-person gunplay with RPG-style character progression and cooperative gameplay. Set on the harsh, lawless planet of Pandora, players choose one of four unique Vault Hunters each with their own skill trees and abilities to search for a mysterious alien vault rumored to contain powerful technology. The game features stylized cel-shaded visuals, endless weapon variety, and a darkly comedic tone that became the franchise’s signature. Whether solo or in four-player co-op, Borderlands delivers fast-paced combat, exploration, and loot-driven progression that reward every firefight and discovery.
