Borderlands is the first game in the Borderlands series, a Space Western Hero Shooter and Looter Shooter with RPG Elements (or an Action RPG with FPS elements, though Gearbox themselves call the game a "Role Playing Shooter") for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Windows, and OS X developed by Gearbox Software — creators of the Brothers in Arms series and the three expansion packs for the original Half-Life.The game concerns four different adventurers who arrive on the desert planet of Pandora seeking the Vault: a legendary alien treasure cache filled with weapons, alien artifacts, and wealth beyond imagining. Initially, it seems like the only thing to worry about will be the scores of bandits that run rampant over the planet; however, the player soon comes into conflict with the Atlas corporation, who have dispatched their elite squad known as the Crimson Lance, led by the ruthless Commandant Steele, to capitalize on the power and riches offered by the Vault. Aided by the mysterious "Guardian Angel", the player sets out into the borderlands of Pandora to battle the Lance and uncover the treasures of the Vault.The game's four playable characters are differentiated by not just their appearances, but also their available classes and skills, and consist of: Roland, The Soldier. A former member of the Crimson Lance, the best-equipped mercenary company in the galaxy. Can drop a Scorpio Turret to provide fire support and shields to provide cover for his allies. Lilith, the Siren. A Phasewalker, capable of stepping out of reality to a phased out version of the world, while leaving presents (hint: harm) for her enemies on the way in and out. Brick, the Berserker. A massive man whose Unstoppable Rage can allow him to punch as hard as any gun. Loves blood. Mordecai, the Hunter. A wandering man whose pet hawk Bloodwing is his best ally. Won a sharpshooting contest when he was 17 using a revolver, while the other contestants used sniper rifles.The game has four DLC packs developed in the year following the release of the original game, consisting of: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned: Dr. Ned, who is totally not his twin brother Dr. Zed wearing a fake moustache on top of a surgical mask, manages to unleash a Zombie Apocalypse upon Jakob's Cove. Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot: A series of Arena challenges set by recently-divorced Mad Moxxi. The Secret Armory of General Knoxx: A continuation of the main story. Enraged over the loss of the Vault, the decimation of their forces and the death of Steele (though mostly just losing the Vault), the Crimson Lance have decided that the Vault Hunters must die. They send a fresh army of Lance operatives, headed by seasoned General Knoxx, to both take out the Hunters and conquer Pandora for their own. With the help of former Lance Assassin Athena, the Vault Hunters must now fight to destroy the Crimson Lance once and for all, and maybe even get some sweet loot while they're at it. Claptrap's New Robot Revolution: Due to the Vault Hunters being a massive drain on the economy, Hyperion hires the Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap to take care of them. Instead, he rallies the Claptraps into rebellion against the humans.On April 3, 2019, an Updated Re-release launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam, with existing owners of the game on Steam getting the remastered version and the game's DLC for free, even if they didn't own the DLC for the original game. This updated version was eventually released on the Switch as well on May 29, 2020, along with Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!.

Cherry Tapping: Very possible; for example, if you're feeling suicidal enough to use the melee attacks (Brick's Berserker or stun attacks don't count) or an amazingly underleveled weapon. Or you could just go for the Goomba Stomp, which will get you the Achievement/Trophy, "My Brother is an Italian Plumber".

 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_11cdfcf7
comment
Chunky Salsa Rule: Various enemies feature this. Many animals and most humans can be outright blown up with a good placed explosion. The bandits and midgets in particular. Once Brick gets strong enough, killing them with the basic melee attack is more than enough to make their head explode or shear off an arm or leg. It doesn't even have to be a critical hit either. Even Bruisers and Bad-Ass Psychos can be blown up with a strong enough weapon, but it really has to be over the top. Even the Crimson Lance can die in the gruesome deaths that the elemental effects cause. Mordecai can do this with a sniper rifle if he outlevels an enemy enough, provided he gets a one-shot kill.

Abnormal Ammo
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_12c65d9b
comment
Abnormal Ammo: Many guns add special effects to their bullets. The most common example is the elemental damage. Weapons with an elemental multiplier can deal either Shock damage, Corrosive damage, Fire damage or Blast (Explosive) damage. One particularly memorable weapon mod appears on shotguns from time to time: "Holy crap! It shoots Rockets!" There's a Mongol series of rockets, with the text of "Beware the Horde!" note It's a launcher whose ''rockets'' fire rockets. The Savior weapons send bullets with a spiral trail. If the bullet misses, it comes back to its user for further use. Baron Flynt's "Boom Stick" Shotgun launches a series of 7 rockets.

Heroic Mime: The game dips in and out of this trope. The player characters can talk, as shown by their taunts and comments on a weapons cache discovery, but when it comes to interacting with other characters in-game or in a cutscene, they never speak.

Where It All Began: The climax involves the Vault Hunters in a Boss Rush against the previous three big bads in reverse order, and then a final battle at the Arid Badlands, the starting zone of the main game, against Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap, the very being that welcomed you to the planet in the first place.

Death by Materialism: Subverted by the climax. After the timer runs out in the Crimson Armory level, a cutscene plays where Athena looks in the distance while the Armory explodes, the implication being the Player Character(s) dead for good. However, the level features a New-U station, the likes of which make death mean only a monetary loss, outside of the Armory.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: One of the side-quests given to you by Dr. Ned has him wondering in the description about his status as an NPC and not a villain. He actually turns out to be the villain.

No Plot? No Problem!
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_1fffccf7
comment
No Plot? No Problem!: The game certainly took a minimalist approach to storytelling. Most quests are told entirely through text descriptions when you accept them and turn them in, with story quests getting the occasional chunk of spoken dialog. What little plot there is can hardly be called complex. Still, the developers clearly did something right, because the game was popular enough to get four DLCs and multiple sequels, all of which integrated more plot into them.

Faceless Goons: Most enemies, whether bandits or Crimson Lance, invariably wear some sort of facemask to conceal their faces. This also applies to almost all of the civilians living on Pandora as well, including some of the major characters. This saved Gearbox a lot of work by not having to program in facial animation for dialogue.

Wrong Genre Savvy
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_20a14df0
comment
Wrong Genre Savvy: You can find an audio log by a Miles Gloriosus Great White Hunter where he records his intention to fight the zombies by shooting them in the heart. Aiming for the heart is preferable to aiming for the head when hunting in real life (as the skull of most large animals is really thick and the brain is quite small as well), but pretty much the dumbest idea ever in a Zombie Apocalypse. Then again, bodyshots will drop zombies here (albeit with reduced efficiency compared to headshots).

Roland can summon a turret to add more firepower. And upgrade it through his skill trees for even MORE dakka, as well as guided missiles. And then we get into the guns themselves... His "Metal Storm" skill increases rate of fire and accuracy for a few seconds after killing an enemy.

Crapsack World: Although the planet Pandora was originally colonized in the hopes of turning it into a lucrative, prosperous mining settlement, it was found to be an almost completely barren and borderline uninhabitable wasteland — and that was before the spring cycle began seven Earth years later and the local wildlife woke up from hibernation. Then, of course, there are the several thousand murderous bandits who prey on the few remaining locals, the extreme scarcity of food, clean water, electricity and medical supplies, and the near-complete lack of anything resembling functioning infrastructure or an effective government. Death is so common that never once do you see an NPC express grief, even when close friends or relatives are killed. And to make matters worse, it's implied in the Secret Armory DLC that the planet Promethia is even worse than Pandora.

Bathroom Stall Graffiti: While not in a bathroom, one quest given to you by Mad Moxxi has you cleaning up graffiti about her. Considering how badly written and childish said graffiti is, it's either a take on or a Shout-Out to the trope.

Gradual Regeneration
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_286efcf8
comment
Gradual Regeneration: Multiple stats regenerate this way: All shields recharge gradually, the recharge time depending on which shield, some shields have an instant recharging such as Anshin's "Guerrilla", "Skirmisher" and "Ambush" lines, the "Cracked Sash" unique shield, and the Pearlescent level shields "Omega" from Atlas and "Rose" from Anshin. There are several mechanics that regenerate health, the most important ones being Tediore's shields, ("Healing", "Restorative", "Panacea", and the unique reward "Wee Wee's Super Booster"), Brick's ability "Berserk" where he runs off screaming his health back, Roland and Mordecai's regeneration boosts on kill and use of the Scorpio Turret and Bloodwing, and Lilith's regeneration via Phasewalk. And, of course, the Healing Kits work this way; the Greater ones heal 300 HP over 10 seconds.

Revolvers Are Just Better
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_2a195285
comment
Revolvers Are Just Better: The designers certainly seem to think so. Revolver pistols, revolver shotguns, revolver sniper rifles, revolver rocket launchers, in six shot, three shot, two shot, side-gate, cylinder swapping, break-open with speed loaders... almost every gun with under 8 rounds per reload. This may be because revolvers do not eject shells, and would thus be preferred in zero-gravity environments. It's hard not to like a Revolver with the name Bloody Justice (Unless it does shitty damage or has a ludicrously low ammo count.) or Raw Law. Not just 'up to 8', there is at least one revolver-style shotgun that holds 20. Although the reload animation doesn't seem to be entirely accurate for it.

Check-Point Starvation

Checkpoint Starvation: All of the DLC's only have one Fast Travel station, and it's typically a ways away from the meat of the first map. If you leave while on a mission too far away from the map with the station... have a fun time walking back there. Even if you're overleveled and able to just zip past the respawned opposition, it still takes a while for you to get places. On the other hand, this can be exploited to save time - if you're done in a given area and don't fancy slogging back through the connecting area to turn your missions in, you can just exit back to the main menu and reload your game, putting you right back at the start.

Ax-Crazy: Judging by her personal logs, Dahl Corporation scientist Patricia Tannis is equal parts this and Cloudcuckoolander, laughing to herself as she fed her colleagues to skags after they died. She even dated the recorder she used for the logs, though they broke up. Also the majority of the bandits, and at least two of the player characters. The enemies with the label "psycho" pretty much take the cake, though; they went insane with a freakish obsession for the Vault after a Vault key was found in Headstone Mine.

Co-Op Multiplayer: Tag-along style. The host determines where in the plot the players play in, and also has the character used to scale enemies. If the guest is behind the host in level, he will be up against constant beef gates. If behind in plot, any completed missions will be treated as "ineligible", and won't transfer over to the guest. As such, co-op players should maintain progress parity.

Beef Gate: Attempting to travel through an area with enemies that are of a higher level than you will result in your immediate and painful death. This is due to the damage system, where, if you're the same level as a enemy, they can be handled with a reasonable amount of effort, whereas if they're a higher level than you, they take less damage (as low as 5% if they are six levels higher) and deal more than they would if they were even. When combined with Level Scaling, it generally means players need to be close enough in level to be effective teammates.

If you really want to break the game, it's possible to creatively modify "stock" weapons (the weapons your enemies normally use if they don't spawn with a droppable weapon, which players cannot obtain without save file editing) to get weapons with no level requirement that deal damage into the millions, or even negative damage. Negative-damage weapons are extremely bizarre; they instagib anything but their damage counter reads 0... unless you hit something invincible (such as newly-spawned bosses in the Underdome) in which case the gun deals 99999 damage instead and still instantly kills your target. A similar method works on shields, rendering your character totally invincible to everything other than a stock weapon.

Level Scaling: Within a particular range for each area. Finishing the second playthrough makes the range for everything on par with yours. Notably, the game's level scaling does not take the DLCs into account, so if you play them after finishing the main campaign you'll quickly find yourself vastly out-leveling the enemies. You'll likewise be highly over-leveled if you start a 2nd playthrough after finishing all the DLCs.

Each character wears a device called a "Storage Deck", which is basically a dead-end transporter, into which they can dump practically anything. Hence why backpack upgrades are called 'SDU's. (Storage Deck Upgrades) It appears as a metal device with a glowing blue 'beam' across its surface. When playing in multiplayer, it's possible to see a teammate pull something out of it.

Defector from Decadence: Athena, the Big Good of the DLC, is a former operative of the Crimson Lance. Knoxx, also a former Crimson Lance member, is about to quit when you meet him, but for different reasons such as the incompetence of his higher-ups — according to his journal, one of his superiors is a five-year-old who sends him macaroni pictures instead of orders.

Supporting the Monster Loved One: Players can meet the zombie of their old pal TK Baha. TK, being an old blind man with one leg before he got killed, can't 'hunt' for his own food, so the player characters bring him brains. However, as the zombie outbreak claimed every living soul in Jakobs Cove, the brains come from other zombies;, while he tends to puke after eating a zombie brain, he otherwise doesn't seem to mind.

Boring, but Practical
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: Tediore legendary weapons (and their pearlescent, the Avenger) have the very unspectacular effect of ammo regeneration. They're only average in combat, but make great utility weapons. The Tediore 'Bone Shredder' SMG dropped from King Mook Bonehead has practically no unique attributes, it's just guaranteed to spawn with high-quality parts and the double-shot accessory. Nonetheless it's such a good general-purpose gun that it will see most players through the early stages of the storyline, after they leave Fyrestone. The Soldier's 'Supply Drop' skill is the least flashy final skill but a single point in it practically guarantees the player will never need to waste time buying or fining ammo or grenades.

Marcus' concluding remarks on Claptrap's Robot Revolution include claiming that "that is how it really happened!" note Immediately before the final boss fight, Marcus had been shot dead.

Updated Re Release: Borderlands GOTY: Enhanced, released shortly before the release of Borderlands 3, is an updated version of the game with subtly improved graphics (including redone high-res textures and improved lighting), a significantly expanded cosmetic character customization system similar to that in the later games, a number of quality of life tweaks for modern systems (such as customizable FOV and anti-aliasing), and some changes to the menus and U.I. that make it slightly closer to that of the later games (such as the inventory now being fully visual instead of a text list, and adding a mini-map to the HUD).

Elemental Powers: Certain guns' bullets are Status Infliction Attacks with fire, lightning, acid... or just potentially explode. Each character has at least one class mod that boosts the damage they deal with one of the four elements. Roland: Shock Trooper. Boosts shock damage. Mordecai: Assassin. Boosts corrosive damage. Brick: Blast Master. Boosts explosive damage. Lilith, being the elemental specialist she is, has three: Tempest, which boosts shock damage, Plaguebearer, which boosts corrosive damage, and Firefly, which boosts fire damage, and makes her (in a way) the incendiary specialist.

Game Mod: Gearbox doesn't provide a development kit for fear of breaking what little balance the game has already, but this hasn't stopped people from creating save editors to experiment with: During the early days of the game, it was possible to combine different parts of different manufacturers in order to create some crazy weapons. For example, mixing parts from The Dove (a pistol that never runs out of ammo) with parts from the Hyperion Invader (a pistol that fires its entire magazine when fired while the aim button is held down) to create a pistol that, when you fire it while aiming, never stops shooting and never runs out of ammo (until you let go of the aim button, anyway.) This, along with other related exploits, has since been patched out (it's now impossible to combine parts from different manufacturers). While mixing parts from different manufacturers have been patched out, this hasn't ruled out parts from the same manufacturer. To use the Dove as an example again, it's possible to add on the Hornet weapon trait from the Dove's manufacturer, and combine it with a prefix from a shotgun and a suffix from a sniper rifle, to create a Shredder Wrath pistol that fires 3 shots with every pull of the trigger, and has a potent Corrosive elemental effect to boot. A level 25 Shredder Wrath can remain your best weapon until level 40. If you really want to break the game, it's possible to creatively modify "stock" weapons (the weapons your enemies normally use if they don't spawn with a droppable weapon, which players cannot obtain without save file editing) to get weapons with no level requirement that deal damage into the millions, or even negative damage. Negative-damage weapons are extremely bizarre; they instagib anything but their damage counter reads 0... unless you hit something invincible (such as newly-spawned bosses in the Underdome) in which case the gun deals 99999 damage instead and still instantly kills your target. A similar method works on shields, rendering your character totally invincible to everything other than a stock weapon. By way of its engine heritage, it is possible to use UnrealEd to create custom maps, if you're willing to modify the exe.

Insurmountable Waist-High Fence: Everywhere. Especially those bollard things your vehicle can't pass between or over. One such obstacle that remains bizarrely unpatched is a large metal palette in a puddle near the bridge in Rust Commons East which a Claptrap lowers for you. Every single person who has ever played Borderlands will have crashed into it at least once, despite the fact that it looks (and was probably intended to be) easily navigable. Might be a joke on the developer's part.

Gun Accessories: Scopes and bayonets and all sorts of other things. And if you want to get technical, the procedural weapon generation means the guns are basically a set of modular parts in various combinations; in other words, everything is an accessory. Considering that different parts can be the difference between a gun shooting fire or shotgun shells or having infinite ammo, this is more than a technicality.

comment
Useless Useful Spell: Shock damage weapons and abilities get a massive bonus against regenerating shields, which sounds like it'd be helpful until you realize that no targets in the entire game have significant shields besides the scarce and feeble Guardians and the players themselves. There's no real reason to engage in player versus player combat in Borderlands, and even if there was the damage output of most quality guns is so extreme the Shock elemental damage bonus is unnecessary to get practically instant player kills. Ironically Shock weapons are much more useful to the enemies than they are to the players, and an enemy that spawns with a shock revolver or rocket launcher can take out most player characters in just a couple shots.

Early-Installment Weirdness: The original version of the game, as seen in the trailer, was very much this. The final product less so, but it still has several combat mechanics abandoned by its sequels as well as remnants of its original self that separate it from the rest of the series. The plot is sparse with few cutscenes and the overall tone of the base-game is much grimmer. "Old Haven" is the scene of a brutal massacre and wouldn't look out of place in a Fallout game. The majority of quests are basic and short, with little-to-no voice-acting. It's not until The Secret Armory of General Knoxx that quest-givers talk regularly over the ECHO network and the quests themselves are more elaborate. The game does not distinguish between quests that are mandatory and those that are optional in the quest-log, which can lead to a lack of direction. There was a weapon-proficiency system that was dropped in favour of Badass Ranks in the sequels. Revolvers get their own ammo-category, separated from Repeater Pistols. In the sequels they share the same ammo-pool as pistols. You can buy ammo storage-deck upgrades with regular money instead of needing a premium currency like Eridium or Moonstones. Fall Damage is in effect and you won't find a single ladder anywhere in the game. The game has healing kits you can store in your inventory for later (in addition to the syringes from the later games). Why these never show up again in the later games is never explained. It's likely because enemies from later games drain your health faster, so taking the time to open your inventory and use one wasn't practical. Later games would have auto-pickup health items, as well as gear and skills that provide healing, making health kits even more redundant. The characters in general have a lot less, well, character than in the later games. The Vault Hunters have few traits other than being the player characters, and Mad Moxxi (who only shows up in a DLC) is just a good-looking colosseum announcer, while Marcus narrates the opening and ending cutscenes and gives the players missions... And that's it. Later games would add a lot more Character Development, including for the Vault Hunters from this game who returned.

Not Completely Useless: The cash box for a tour of the "World's Largest Bullet" at the "Sunken Sea" level deducts eight million dollars from you with no benefits other than an achievement, and it can be used multiple times. However, there is no better money dump to prevent cash overflow, a bug in the game code that triggers if you surpass 2^31 dollars (close to 2,150 billion) and zeroes your money tally if you die.

Money for Nothing: Money is very critical within the first and second area, but by the time you reach the Dahl Headlands, you will be either selling more than spending or just keep farming for money found in lockers. Even though the money display caps off at $9,999,999, you can still get even more money beyond the display. It's not necessarily a good thing: earn enough cash and you'll trigger an integer overflow, giving you billions of negative dollars until you earn your way out of the supposed debt or die (which resets your wallet to 0).

Wounded Gazelle Gambit: There's a damaged Claptrap near the entrance to Dividing Faults that needs to be repaired. Normally these missions give you storage deck space. This time, however, it's all a ruse, and you get swarmed by these pests, first by the mission giver and then by other Traps. Once you finish them, you redeem the mission near a container located in the area.

Punch-Packing Pistol
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_5ab0da17
comment
Punch-Packing Pistol: A repeater pistol can spawn with surprisingly high damage per bullet, even without getting the damage-boosting "Raptor" prefix. The legendary Firehawk pistol is one hell of an example, pun intended. Its elemental multiplier is not the x4 the weapon card says - it's x6. And it's always guaranteed to proc, so firing repeated shots without as much elemental tech behind them is still a valid tactic that'll roast the target, whatever it may be. "Law" revolvers are meant to be used as this. They don't have quite the power of the regular Hand Cannon revolver, but they fire fast and typically reload just as quickly. A Tediore Law often isn't up to snuff as a primary weapon, but makes for a formidable sidearm.

Disc-One Nuke
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d
comment
Disc-One Nuke: Due to this game's Random Drop system, it's extremely rare, but very possible to find weapons that possess incredible power at a low level requirement, early in the game. If you have a decent amount of luck, you can find a weapon such as a Maliwan HellFire SMG or Defiler pistol or a S&S Orion Sniper Rifle that will tear the rest of the game apart. There're multiple breeds of weapons that are disproportionately powerful for their item level, which can be incredibly deadly in the right hands: any rapid-fire weapon with a high ignite chance (fire damage seems to be at the very least partially HP-percentage-based, which renders them capable of utterly destroying Badass/boss foes regardless of level), mashers (relatively-accurate and fast-firing shotgun pistols), Anarchy submachine guns (quad-shot), the list goes on. God help your foes if you stumble across the Playthrough 2+ versions... Gearbox gives you one in a sidequest: the Madjack, a revolver that has crazily spinning bullets and a high ricochet chance. But that works to your advantage with distant, powerful targets: a Madjack can take out a Mulciber turret in just a few shots. The Clipper drops from Nine-Toes, who is the very first story boss you face. It has a very high rate of fire, with a chance to do fire damage with every hit.

Improbable Weapon User: Rocket Launcher that fires 3 rockets, that each split into 5 rockets, which all explode into acid? Check. Shotgun that has a spread in the shape of a smiley face? Check. Full-auto sniper rifle? You betcha.

Trick Bomb: There are various mods that can be attached to your grenades to turn them into sticky bombs or Bouncing Betties, make them do fire or lightning or acid damage instead of simply exploding, cause them to throw off cluster bomblets or teleport to their target...

Painfully Slow Projectile
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_6b6ac319
comment
Painfully Slow Projectile: Launchers, some Eridian guns, and occasionally sniper rifles. All guns have a velocity stat (which you can't see), but normally it's short enough range and a fast enough bullet to not matter. Lilith also has a skill that mitigates this, by upping said velocity stat. Which makes a Maliwan Rhino (Elemental rocket launcher that explodes over and over until hitting its target) practically useless because it explodes fewer times before hitting its target when its velocity is increased. "Cold" machine pistols have this as their gimmick: they tend to be very powerful, but their bullets take their sweet time hitting the enemy. Stomper rifles trade high damage and generally good stats for lower bullet speed.

Welcome to Corneria: Everything and everyone that can talk has an extremely limited number of lines to tell, be it the protagonists, enemies or vending machines. While listening to the player characters' combat boasts usually remains entertaining for quite some time, having to listen to Marcus' cheap sales pitches every single time you access his machines might give rise to an irresistable urge to smash your controller into your speakers.

Marathon Level
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9
comment
Marathon Level: Completing the 'Big Tournament' quest requires winning 20 rounds, with 5 waves of enemies per round, in each of the 3 arenas. The player is unable to save his progress through the rounds to come back later, if he resets the game he'll need to restart at round 1, and completing 20 rounds can easily take over 4 hours. To make this mission even more painful enemy Hit Points and damage will slightly increase with each round completed, and by the final rounds you'll be facing enemies who are deadlier than any other generic bad guys in the entire game. Doing 20 rounds as a single player also requires you don't die AT ALL as doing so will immediately boot you back to the Underdome lobby forcing you to restart from round 1. Steam Achievement stats reveal the achievement for completing 'Big Tournament' is one of the rarest among the playerbase.

Extreme Omnivore: Skags will eat anything, but they vomit back up whatever they can't digest, which is why you find items in the "piles". That's what the in-game tips say, but just about every other kind enemy that tries to eat you also has "piles" laying around their habitat. Rakk are the exception — they don't have piles, but the Feeder/Bloated/Gravid etc variety have a higher probability of dropping stuff.

comment
Guide Dang It!: Some of the scavenger and even some of the regular missions will make you grow to hate the waypoints which can make finding certain mission-related objects confounding to say the least. Further, some missions themselves have really out-of-the-way trigger points: Turns out, the waypoints for scavenger missions are placed specifically in the general area the parts can be found in. For example, if the 4 or 5 parts are found scattered about a single bandit encampment, the waypoint will likely be in the center of that encampment.

Random Drop

Random Drop: Said to be the system for gun drops, though with a supposed over 17 million possibilities, you'll probably be able to find something cool in general. Rare Random Drop: the Pearlescents and Legendaries. Randomly Generated Loot: The game uses a system where its equipment (guns, class mods, shields, grenade mods and, in the sequel, artifacts) is built up from randomly chosen parts which have different traits (although the player can only see this in the stats and the unique model this produces). It also has several manufacturers, who all have their own unique gun textures and special effects.

ColorCodedForYourConvenience
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_740f59b4
comment
Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Elemental weapons have distinctive color markings on them that represent their element. Shock (good against shields) is blue. Fire (good against fleshy bits) is red. Blast (average against everything except scythids) is yellow. Corrosion (good against armor) is green. There is one weapon that cycles between them, which is orange. Loot is also color coded by rarity. (White=Normal, Green=Uncommon, Blue=Rare, Purple=Very Rare, Orange=Incredibly Rare, Pearl=Obscenely Rare. And to top that off, orange comes in three different shades for just how badass the weapon you just found is). There's also red for healing items. Enemy shields and clothing are coded this way too. Red enemies tend to be fire resistant and use fire attacks, green enemies are corrosion resistant and might spit poison at you, blue enemies are shock resistant and use electrical attacks, and so on. Even the companies themselves have this to a large extent for the color of their guns, such as brown for Jakobs, S&S's yellow, Maliwan's blue, Dahl's green or tan, Tediore's light grey, Hyperion's red, etc.

High-Voltage Death: When you kill most human enemies with electrical damage, the flesh on their head will be instantly seared off revealing their skull and occasionally one of their eyes will fly out, or a piece of their skull will break off with some of their brain flying out.

comment
Violence is the Only Option: Lampshaded when the player is requested to find Reaver (a bandit who killed his father shortly before joining up with Krom's crew) — the player's idea of discipline is blasting his balls off; the mission giver (his uncle) is distraught. Likewise, a bounty quest in "New Haven" has you searching for a woman's husband and son. When you find them, the son has killed the husband and then turns on you. Killing him is your only option. When you turn the bounty in, you explain everything that happened. It's a lot for her to take in, but she understands that killing her son was probably the best course of action for you to take anyway. She also says that she wishes to never hear from you ever again.

Fetch Quest: All of Tannis's quests have you collecting Claptrap parts. It starts with 5 and gets all the way up to 150. "Like Shooting Rakk in a Barrel", from the area's mission board, involves you fetching three turret components in order to enable three turrets in order to neutralize a bandit-trap bunker. "One-UpmanPipp" involves you fetching trash and placing it in a food delivery chute. Marcus's "Burnin' Rubber" involves you fetching six wheels at the "Hyperion Dump" level for his bus. As always, there's a mission that involves fixing a Claptrap and a Storage Upgrade. This time, however, though you get the reward, it's a... Trap. Marcus's "Taking Stock" involves you venturing into the "Dividing Faults" level and collecting 10 pieces for him. The main story mission "Operation Trap Claptrap Trap, Phase Three: TripWIRED" has Blake sending you to the Scorched Snake Canyon in order to retrieve the device needed in order to neutralize INAC. Marcus's "Old Spicy" involves you getting into "Scorched Snake Canyon" and retrieving some Skag musk glands and Rakk Hive Ambergris in order to make a cologne. The follow-up mission to "Old Spicy", "Eleven Rakk And Spices", involves you collecting fresh rakk meat and spice plants in Sanders Gorge.

Attack Its Weak Point
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_82108e3d
comment
Attack Its Weak Point: For human(oid) enemies, it's the head. For skags, you have to shoot their exposed mouth, with a similar Pink Mist effect. For spiderants, you have to shoot the abdomen at the rear. Bosses are where things get a bit more complicated, but it's generally pretty obvious; large glowy bits, things that look squishy, etc. The only time you can get the Rider sniper rifle is during the quest where you have to kill the Rakk Hive. The tagline for the weapon says "Careful... you might put someone's eye out." Guess where the weak point is on the Rakk Hive... Before fighting the final boss, you're told that "you just have to know where to hit it." Hint: Its big, gaping vagina of a mouth, giant clit-eye, and glowing tentacle testicles should clue you in.

Superboss: Crawmerax the Invincible. By far the toughest fight in the game, he's always five levels above you. Unless you're a very skilled player with the right character build or you used the crevice exploit in his arena (or both), he's all but impossible to beat in a solo game.

Unnecessary Combat Roll
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_8a0bc642
comment
Lance Assassins have faster movement speed than any other enemy type in the game and are hyped-up by Athena, but are more comic relief than actual threat. Normal Assassins (not the Badass or unique variants) are extremely fragile and a single shotgun shot will probably be enough to kill one charging at you instantly, leaving you to laugh as her corpse harmlessly flies 50 feet past you. Even if a generic Assassin does cut or kick you the damage is low and the biggest drawback is an annoying glowing decal popping on your screen for a moment. The ranged special attacks from Badass or unique, named, assassins are deadlier but they must remain stationary to shoot, removing what is supposedly their most impressive asset. Shoot an assassin with a gun with a decent rate of fire and you'll see it's quite easy to get her stuck in the hit-flinch animation, during which she can't move or attack, until you need to reload. To add to the comedy of it all assassins aren't good at getting around the environment despite, or perhaps because of, their extreme speed. Assassins often get stuck on any of the many crates or other small obstacles that litter most areas leaving them sitting ducks even as they do elaborate acrobatics and an Unnecessary Combat Roll while stuck in place. The deadliest unique assassin in the Secret Armory, encountered right at the entrance to said Armory, can be rendered utterly impotent if the players walk up the stairs right next to her since the assassins AI is completely incapable of navigating a narrow path like a staircase.

There Is No Kill Like Overkill
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_8b606a51
comment
Various enemies feature this. Many animals and most humans can be outright blown up with a good placed explosion. The bandits and midgets in particular. Once Brick gets strong enough, killing them with the basic melee attack is more than enough to make their head explode or shear off an arm or leg. It doesn't even have to be a critical hit either. Even Bruisers and Bad-Ass Psychos can be blown up with a strong enough weapon, but it really has to be over the top. Even the Crimson Lance can die in the gruesome deaths that the elemental effects cause.

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: The Bleeder, whatever the hell that thing is supposed to be, there is no indication in the sidequest that you encounter it that it is anything BUT a an ordinary Scythid. One of the challenge achievements for killing the Guardians in the "Dahl Headlands" level is titled "What is this thing?", as if to lampshade the sheer absurdity of the situation. It's explained by the Guardian Angel afterwards, but still. The finale. All of it. There isn't a huge vault, but an interdimensional monstrosity.

Randomly Generated Loot: The game uses a system where its equipment (guns, class mods, shields, grenade mods and, in the sequel, artifacts) is built up from randomly chosen parts which have different traits (although the player can only see this in the stats and the unique model this produces). It also has several manufacturers, who all have their own unique gun textures and special effects.

Hyperspace Arsenal: As the game starts out, you'll already be able to wear two weapons, equip a shield, a grenade mod, a class mod, carry about 1000 rounds of ammunition for all the different weapon types, three grenades, and carry twelve other items. Every playthrough allows you to find upgrades for your backpack to give about 30 more slots to carry items, and you'll be able to buy ammo storage, which will end up allowing you to hold around three thousand bullets (per weapon type) and 9 grenades. Each character wears a device called a "Storage Deck", which is basically a dead-end transporter, into which they can dump practically anything. Hence why backpack upgrades are called 'SDU's. (Storage Deck Upgrades) It appears as a metal device with a glowing blue 'beam' across its surface. When playing in multiplayer, it's possible to see a teammate pull something out of it.

comment
"Law" revolvers are meant to be used as this. They don't have quite the power of the regular Hand Cannon revolver, but they fire fast and typically reload just as quickly. A Tediore Law often isn't up to snuff as a primary weapon, but makes for a formidable sidearm.

Foreshadowing: Some of the claptrap logos in the vending machines have the character dressed up as Che Guevara. Cue this DLC. At the beginning of the main game, Claptrap complains about the bandits (and later everyone else) treating him bad. Across the main game and the Dr. Ned and Knoxx DLCs, the player finds damaged/trapped Claptraps, with a reward for fixing them. This becomes a major plot point for the DLC.

One example that's almost an exaggeration is Sledge's Shotgun. It's a two-shot shotgun that fires twice in a quick burst, has a range of literally four or five feet, and has a spread only about twenty degrees shy of being able to shoot sideways. Anything in the shot cone vanishes; what isn't disintegrated is knocked back a fair distance. It's one of the only three guns in the game that can (and will always) have 0.00 accuracy; the other two are The Chopper and The Boomstick, which are both shotguns of a sort — except the Chopper shoots 18 machinegun rounds per second, and the Boomstick fires rockets.

The player can do a version of this. When the character runs out of health, they don't die immediately; instead, they collapse on the spot and have a few seconds while they bleed out, during which they can still fire their equipped weapons (as if they'd been to the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy, mind you). If the player gets a kill in this time, they regain a small amount of health and can continue on.

MegaCorp: Every gun manufacturer seems to have spinoff products scattered around the world. Atlas is the current leader, with control of the Echo network and commerce grid, but Dahl's insignia shows up everywhere. Jakobs seems to have a prefab housing division, just for starters... Dahl Corporation seems to have run the mining firm on Pandora, but they had to quickly evacuate once the Crimson Lance rolled in. Jakobs also has a company town built around a lumber mill in the DLC. It harvests wood for their guns. In fact. EVERYTHING is wood. Its Claptraps are wood. Its vending machines are wood. Hyperion, one of the rarer manufacturers, owns everything from the Claptraps to the New-U stations to the satellite 4N631, which the Guardian Angel is apparently transmitting from. Atlas is the most famous, but Hyperion keeps Pandora running...

Hunting the Rogue: Both Player Character Roland, and Quest Giver Athena from the The Secret Armory of General Knoxx's DLC, are former Crimson Lance soldiers who are chased by this organization. Roland was a former Crimson Lance Engineer (as only Engineers have access to Scorpio Turrets, and Roland deploys one as his Action Skill) who left his squad after his former superiors tried to frame and kill him. He gets to fight against them in both the main game (both in the "Old Haven" level and after Baron Flynt was killed) and the Knoxx DLC. Athena was a former Crimson Lance Assassin who left after the higher-ups duped her into killing her sister and everyone on her village. She's one of the main story Quest Givers of the DLC she appears on, and has as much of a bounty on her head as the Vault Hunters.

They usually have a short range, long recharge time, and/or slow moving projectiles that effectively blind the person using them. Compared to human weapons, they're little more than a novelty. The icing on the cake? They also force you to move slower. The rocket launcher equivalent is even more useless than regular rocket launchers. They are, however, very useful against the Eridians themselves.

Unique Items: "Chiquito Amigo"note Unique Tediore Repeater Pistol with extended magazine size and rate of fire but low damage is a mission reward for completing the "Purple Juice!" sidequest. Both the "Kyros's Power"note Unique Atlas Pump-action Sniper Rifle that comes with a variable 1x-3x Explosive elemental effect and whose shots inflict Transfusion damage, healing the user and "Typhoon"note Unique Dahl SMG whose bullets ricochet and split in two after a certain distance weapons are tied to the non-respawnable sidequest bosses that drop them, namely Commanders Kyros and Typhon. "Athena's Wisdom"note Unique Hyperion Repeater Pistol with increased accuracy and critical hit damage is the reward for completing the main storyline.

Real Is Brown: In the first game, all the deserts and generic badlands and trash piles. As the game progresses, things get more varied, particularly in the Eridian ruins. The "Rust Commons East" and "Trash Coast" levels have lots of green scrub brush, and the final few areas completely break from the previous general color palette, complete with an overgrown ruin and a mountain range in the middle of a snowstorm.

Bottomless Magazines: Multiple: The Dahl manufactured, "The Dove" repeater pistol. "Sometimes I forget to reload.". It uses no ammo per shot, unless it has the "Double" accessory, in which cases it uses one bullet per shot. Or if it's actually merged with the Hornet accessory, making its name a Hornet, but still uses no ammo. But it still needs 1 bullet availble to fire. The Tediore legendary rarity weapons invoke through Gradual Regeneration of ammo, referenced by their Tenuously Connected Flavor Text: Such as Equalizer revolvers, with "Unending Firepower". The Avenger, a Pearlescent-rarity combat rifle from the same firm, also has ammo regeneration. The Vladof 'Chopper' machinegun, when used with the magazine boosting skills of a Soldier, can carry more bullets in its magazine than the player's maximum ammo capacity, functionally resulting in a machinegun that will never need to be reloaded.

Demoted to Extra: Helena Pierce's role in the story was scaled back a lot after the game had a drastic visual overhaul. (For starters, she's prominently featured in the pre-comic book style game trailer.) Now, she's just a minor NPC you only meet halfway through the game, doing the occasional quest for. The inverse happened to Patricia Tannis, who wasn't even mentioned at all in the trailer, and features a lot more than Pierce and actively helps you with your quest.

Money Spider: The Claptraps have a high drop rate (and mostly drop pretty decent gear that can be re-sold if nothing else) and there's an area that spawns a nearly infinite amount as long you're willing to wait around a few minutes between waves spawning. They also die extremely quick and easy if you have a decent sniper or shotgun.

The characters in general have a lot less, well, character than in the later games. The Vault Hunters have few traits other than being the player characters, and Mad Moxxi (who only shows up in a DLC) is just a good-looking colosseum announcer, while Marcus narrates the opening and ending cutscenes and gives the players missions... And that's it. Later games would add a lot more Character Development, including for the Vault Hunters from this game who returned.

Short-Range Shotgun
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_bcf69f60
comment
Short-Range Shotgun: Zig-zagged. While there are shotguns that are specifically close-range weapons with pitiful accuracy and a ridiculous spreadlist Scatterguns, Matadors, Shredders and Sweepers; Carnages also count, as while the spread wouldn't be too bad on a regular shotgun, Carnages fire only one projectile per shot, there are also quite a few shotguns that can be created with longer barrels that are more accurate, for a more realistic distance — some of them even have attached scopes, which can actually be put to use effectively. Interestingly, they're often even more effective in close-range than the really inaccurate ones with higher base damage, since it's easier to put more pellets on a Critical Hit spot. Also, as your shotgun proficiencies increase, it decreases the pellet spread. One example that's almost an exaggeration is Sledge's Shotgun. It's a two-shot shotgun that fires twice in a quick burst, has a range of literally four or five feet, and has a spread only about twenty degrees shy of being able to shoot sideways. Anything in the shot cone vanishes; what isn't disintegrated is knocked back a fair distance. It's one of the only three guns in the game that can (and will always) have 0.00 accuracy; the other two are The Chopper and The Boomstick, which are both shotguns of a sort — except the Chopper shoots 18 machinegun rounds per second, and the Boomstick fires rockets. Masher revolvers fire several pellets per round. They tend to be more accurate than your average shotgun. On the extreme other end of the scale is the Legendary Skullmasher. It's a sniper rifle that fires 5 pellets per bullet, close enough to put all of them on someone's head reliably in almost any situation.

Car Fu: Encouraged by the game, to the point that there is an early sidequest whose sole goal is to kill a number of enemies using a Runner (the game's car model). In addition, there is at least one achievement (on the X-Box 360 version) and several in-game challenges involving running enemies over or ramming them. The final one is "Hell On Wheels," granted for killing 1,000 enemies with the vehicle. Problem is, enemy vehicles can do this to you too. Hitting a car with a melee attack will send it flying (to avoid the runners getting stuck on things).

Difficulty Spike: The Mega Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap is far deadlier than any of the storyline boss fights from the main game or any other DLC; this is especially noticeable due to the Boss Rush that precedes it.

Mini-Mecha
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_c72af5a8
comment
Devastators are Mini-Mecha that tower over all other Crimson Lance units but are some of the least threatening enemies you'll face, not only in the Secret Armory but the entire game. Their huge Arm Cannon actually does negligible damage if it does hit you, which it probably won't since the AI isn't very keen on shooting. Their melee attacks will send you flying back and do some damage but are easy to avoid since Devastators are huge and bad at maneuvering around any obstacles, even something as small as a Soldier's Scorpio Turret. Furthermore it is extremely easy to land Critical Hit headshots on a Devastator pilot, which will leave the Devastator stunned for several seconds and which can easily be strung together indefinitely with almost any gun. To add insult to injury there's only two spots in the entire game where you'll fight more than one Devastator at once and these are also the only spots where they show up accompanied by any other enemy unit types, meaning in the vast majority of Devastator encounters a player can Crit it to death without having to worry about any other enemy interfering. Devastators are essentially just boring, harmless, damage sponges since the only area where they really do exceed other enemies is their number of Hit Points.

Taking You with Me
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_caf89e54
comment
Taking You with Me: Psychos will randomly yank out grenades if the player ignores them for too long/they have low health. They're extremely annoying — they will put you into Fight For Your Life (see just below) with no one around to shoot and recover, even if you have a shield that doesn't suck. The player can do a version of this. When the character runs out of health, they don't die immediately; instead, they collapse on the spot and have a few seconds while they bleed out, during which they can still fire their equipped weapons (as if they'd been to the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy, mind you). If the player gets a kill in this time, they regain a small amount of health and can continue on.

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: The Final Boss is a giant Cthulhu-like monster complete with tentacles, giant gaping maw, and a massive eye that shoots energy beams. The character is armed with ballistic weapons and maybe some alien weapons you found. And if you're Brick, you can literally punch it out too. Though Justified, since the Guardian Angel tells you it can be hurt because it's not in its own dimension.

Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_ccab244d
comment
Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: Eridian weapons: They usually have a short range, long recharge time, and/or slow moving projectiles that effectively blind the person using them. Compared to human weapons, they're little more than a novelty. The icing on the cake? They also force you to move slower. The rocket launcher equivalent is even more useless than regular rocket launchers. They are, however, very useful against the Eridians themselves. They also have technically unlimited ammo. While they need to recharge after a certain number of fired shots, they will never run out of ammo, which can be helpful if you find yourself in the extremly unlikely situation that you are completely out of ammo for all your guns. The Eridian sniper rifles also have one very useful advantage over their kinetic counterparts: their bullets have no travel time/delay.

Porn Stash: The mission "Dumpster Diving for Great Justice" in New Haven has you searching around for something "of great value" to a man that his wife threw away in a rage (read: dirty magazines). Picking them up, they say "Ugh! Some of the pages are stuck together." The guy tells you to not ask when you turn the mission in. Even worse is when he pays you for the job. He says "Don't worry if the money is damp, I just washed my hands."

Incendiary Exponent: Lilith's Phoenix skill sets her on fire (with mostly beneficial effects...unless you are standing next to an exploding barrel), which makes any nearby enemies acquainted with the Man on Fire trope (with harmful effects). How do you make a shotgun, revolver, automatic pistol, machinegun, or sniper rifle more awesome? Simple - incendiary rounds. Also, Burning Psychos. Cackling insanely and trying to kill you while ON FIRE. It actually gives them immunity to fire damage to boot.

 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_da32aec9
comment
Fake Ultimate Mook: The elemental Crimson Lance forces. They aren't any tougher than regular troops, and only use combat rifles, one of the worst gun classes to have elemental effects. To rub salt in the wound, their Badass variants can only take a few shots in their backpacks before they go kaputz and take the soldier along with them. Devastators are Mini-Mecha that tower over all other Crimson Lance units but are some of the least threatening enemies you'll face, not only in the Secret Armory but the entire game. Their huge Arm Cannon actually does negligible damage if it does hit you, which it probably won't since the AI isn't very keen on shooting. Their melee attacks will send you flying back and do some damage but are easy to avoid since Devastators are huge and bad at maneuvering around any obstacles, even something as small as a Soldier's Scorpio Turret. Furthermore it is extremely easy to land Critical Hit headshots on a Devastator pilot, which will leave the Devastator stunned for several seconds and which can easily be strung together indefinitely with almost any gun. To add insult to injury there's only two spots in the entire game where you'll fight more than one Devastator at once and these are also the only spots where they show up accompanied by any other enemy unit types, meaning in the vast majority of Devastator encounters a player can Crit it to death without having to worry about any other enemy interfering. Devastators are essentially just boring, harmless, damage sponges since the only area where they really do exceed other enemies is their number of Hit Points. Lance Assassins have faster movement speed than any other enemy type in the game and are hyped-up by Athena, but are more comic relief than actual threat. Normal Assassins (not the Badass or unique variants) are extremely fragile and a single shotgun shot will probably be enough to kill one charging at you instantly, leaving you to laugh as her corpse harmlessly flies 50 feet past you. Even if a generic Assassin does cut or kick you the damage is low and the biggest drawback is an annoying glowing decal popping on your screen for a moment. The ranged special attacks from Badass or unique, named, assassins are deadlier but they must remain stationary to shoot, removing what is supposedly their most impressive asset. Shoot an assassin with a gun with a decent rate of fire and you'll see it's quite easy to get her stuck in the hit-flinch animation, during which she can't move or attack, until you need to reload. To add to the comedy of it all assassins aren't good at getting around the environment despite, or perhaps because of, their extreme speed. Assassins often get stuck on any of the many crates or other small obstacles that litter most areas leaving them sitting ducks even as they do elaborate acrobatics and an Unnecessary Combat Roll while stuck in place. The deadliest unique assassin in the Secret Armory, encountered right at the entrance to said Armory, can be rendered utterly impotent if the players walk up the stairs right next to her since the assassins AI is completely incapable of navigating a narrow path like a staircase.

Ludicrous Gibs: Running over a bandit in your vehicle will cause chunks to go flying about 35-40 meters high and rain down for several seconds. And that's not even counting the weapons with explosive or incendiary ammunition... Baron Flynt's Boomstick. It drains on ammo very fast and literally has no accuracy, but get some zombies within about four feet of you, and they all die. You don't even need explosive ammo to turn someone into gibs; crit significantly weaker enemies with a powerful weapon and watch the chunks fly a good 100ft into the sky. It can sometimes rain meat for 10-15 seconds after a good Boom, Headshot!.

Impossible Item Drop: Considering the millions of guns that drop from the enemies, this game laughs at your concerns for the Fridge Logic it produces. It also manages to justify it — the local wildlife will eat anything, but vomits up whatever it can't digest, for you to loot. Further, it manages to justify the finding of good stuff later — other guys took all the good stuff from the early sections and died later on. Played straight when you smack down an unarmed midget and a rocket launcher bigger than he is flies out in your face. Same goes for skag piles.

Lightning Bruiser: Sledge is deceptively fast for his size, especially since, at first, he seems to use the slow "Bruiser" fighting style. This is especially noticeable if you try to fight him with a scoped weapon (don't aim for the head — his helmet blocks out all crit damage — unless you can reliably hit his red eyeslit) and find that he's always closing the distance to you much quicker than he should. He attacks rather fast, especially if you back into a corner. Skagzilla — its huge size compliments all its standard-issue Skag melee attacks quite well.

Heroic Second Wind: A gameplay mechanic and part of the Borderlands universe. When your health reaches zero, the message "Fight for your life!" flashes at the screen, and you get a chance to take an enemy down with you as your vision darkens. If you do manage to kill an enemy before dying yourself, you get resurrected with minimal health and full shields, while the message "Second wind!" flashes.

Artificial Brilliance
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_df11acbe
comment
Artificial Brilliance: Multiple: Skags and Psychos lead their targets whenever possible, instead of blindly chasing after them. The novelty wears off, but it's effective for such a simple strategy. Lance Troopers will hop to the left or right if you take too long to aim at them. Gang Up on the Human is not in effect. Enemy factions (usually bandits and whatever wild animals are nearby) will fight each other unless you give them a reason to join forces against you. Every enemy will shout a warning and assume a stance before engaging you in combat, giving you time to respond. If you heed the warning and leave their territory peacefully, they don't attack. Enemies will also be on high alert if you shoot at them from a distance and miss your target, now knowing you are out there somewhere.

Short-Range Long-Range Weapon
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_df3b0af7
comment
Short-Range Long-Range Weapon: The elephant gun, an otherwise top of the line sniper rifle that lacks any sort of scope, making it useless at the long range you usually use snipers for. Inverted with the Jakobs Striker Shotguns. They have a mod called "Sniper Rifles are for Chumps" that increases accuracy, and if you're lucky enough to find one with a scope, you're likely going to be killing everything with scoped headshots. Too bad it's not exactly the most stable weapon out there, making it hard to actually aim with. The Gamble series of sniper rifles have decreased accuracy, so they aren't very useful at a long range, but they've got a lot of power. In fact, it's impossible to increase the accuracy of a Gamble with COMs, unlike other sniper rifles. You can, of course, use your sniper rifle as a sidearm, especially if it's got a fast rate of fire (i.e. made by Vladof).

Your Head A-Splode: There's a whole lot of asploding in this game: Tag an enemy in the head with a sniper rifle. Presto! What head? Get a rifle with enough damage and your entire freakin' body asplode. ...Or just get Brick angry enough to punch a raider to make instant raider puree! Or just get an Explosive Artifact upgrade for your character's special move or a gun that does Explosive element damage. Chances are SOMETHING on your foes will asplode.

Authority Equals Asskicking: Leaders invariably have noticeably more health than their mooks. In many cases, this does makes sense (guys like Sledge and Krom, who rose to the top by being the baddest of a bad lot, would naturally be expected to be the toughest of the bunch), but it also applies to characters you wouldn't normally expect to be able to withstand several rockets to the face (such as Baron Flynt and Dr. Ned).

Call-Forward: The DLC drops some hints about what'll happen in the near future in the franchise: The focus on Hyperion, as Hyperion is a major player in both Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! and Borderlands 2. Claptrap as the main character and the eventual Final Boss, as he turns out to be a playable character in The Pre-Sequel! and the last surviving Claptrap in 2. When you reach the entrance to Fyrestone, Marcus mentions he's taking you to Eden-6. And both this DLC and Knoxx also mention Promethea several times. It took nearly 15 years and three canonical games (and their plethora of story DLCs), but there's indeed a sequel that indeed takes place at Eden-6, and both said game and another one where Promethea also plays a role or becomes the center of the story.

Regenerating Shield, Static Health
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_f898e3dd
comment
Regenerating Shield, Static Health: Health can normally only be regenerated by health kits (which eat up precious inventory space) or vials dropped by killed enemies (which is incredibly random and inconsistent). Healing shields and Life Drain grenades are available, but are relatively rare and entirely random as to whether you'll find a level-appropriate one. Brick gets regenerating health as a base part of his powers, while Lilith and Mordecai can upgrade their powers to regenerate their health by level 11. Roland doesn't get reliable health regeneration until level 26 (his turret can restore health at level 6, but the cooldown is so long that this method is too inconsistent for regular use), and his version is reliant on killing enemies, unlike Brick and Lilith's (which are passive) and Mordecai's (which steals health and thus still works on bosses and solo enemies).

Critical Hit Class
 Borderlands (Video Game) / int_fe069e49
comment
Critical Hit Class: Critical hits are dependant on where you hit your opponents rather than chance, but the Hunter class has a strong emphasis on accuracy (and thus hitting crit areas). Plus there are builds based around high crit damage.

comment
Grail in the Garbage: Doesn't happen often, but sometimes you can find a really good gun when searching through Dahl's deposits. Or Skag barf.

Badass Preacher: One of the adventurers who tried to stop the Zombie Apocalypse at Jakobs Cove was Father Jackie O'Callahan! He kicked zombie arse with the best of them, but wound up turned into a wereskag after getting "nicked in the neck" by Hank Reiss.

comment
Death Seeker: Knoxx-Trap, after he gets resurrected as the Claptrap's slave. TWICE. It gets to the point where he not only encourages you to shoot him, but attempts to point out his critical hit location.
