. Story
In a distant future, the planets at the outer edges of the
galaxy have become a beacon to fortune seekers and those yearning
for a better life off world. But there are no guarantees in deep
space. Pandora, one of these distant planets, was reported to be
rich in untapped mineral wealth, and so drew many hoping to get
rich quick, but in the end little was found beyond the scattered
ruins of a past alien civilization. With nothing to gain, any who
could soon abandoned Pandora, leaving those who remained to deal
with the lawlessness of a world gone bust, and the mystery of the
long-dead alien civilization. But as chaotic as these times were,
there were worse days yet to come. After several years the
planet's huge orbit slowly brought it near to its sun and once
unknown and horrifying creatures sprang from their long
hibernation to terrify the stranded colonists. The only hope of
the colonists seems to be a vault discovered in the side of a
ainside, rumored to contain alien technology and secrets
about Pandora. Will this discovery be the colonist's salvation or
their end? Discover their e in Borderlands.

action set in both single player and multiplayer modes--including
co-op play--as well as vehicular combat, literally thousands of
different types of weapons that change each time you play and
randomly generated s and features.

own unique backstory, abilities and skills. Skills can be leveled

develop differently regardless of time spend leveling them up.
