Since the gravitation on Alpis is way lower than that of Pandora, you can jump fairly high, and with the help of those Oz-kits, you can go into a floating state that serves as both your double jump as well as a way to get over huge crevices. However, the people of Alpis are aware of this tiny problem, and therefore have Oz-kits, which form a bubble of air around your head that gives a limited supply of breathable air while also functioning as a movement multitool. Alpis is different from Pandora not only in flora and fauna but also literally in atmosphere: Unless there is a machine that provides breathable air, there is not going to be any. And while this moon-shooting business serves as the transition into the last part of the tutorial, it also introduces the world we are going to move in. So, Jack hatches a plan which involves shooting you to the moon using the so-called “Moonshot Cannon” to work things out from there while he stays behind to fight against the emerging threat to the best of his ability. It turns out that said situation is dire, with the attacking army even being supported by a Guardian creature for some reason and a signal showing that there is further interference from the nearby moon, Alpis. You choose one of this jolly crew of misfits, then meet up with Jack to get the situation under control.

The four basegame characters, all willing to aim their guns at the opposition … as long as Jack manages to pay. The last DLC character is Lady Hammerlock, the sister of Sir Hammerlock, who would probably give his life if he knew that it would cause eternal suffering for his sister and who in-game uses a sniper approach and interacts with ice-based skills.

He does have doppelgangers to work with and gains various boosts regarding Jack’s role as the self-perceived hero and working with sales-based skills like gaining more gun damage whenever he collects money. There are also two DLC characters: You can play as Jack himself, except you do not play Jack but a sad soul named Timothy who has been made into one of many Jack clones to make the real Jack a harder target to kill. Nisha the Lawbringer is also a familiar face, albeit an opposing one: She is the sheriff of Lynchwood, the western-inspired city that I featured with a screenshot in the “Borderlands 2” article, and wields her hot irons with deadly accuracy. Talking about enemies, since you play the characters that later make up the opposition during “Borderlands 2”, you also have the option of playing some bosses: Wilhelm, who you probably only know as a huge machine, starts rather human during the story of the Pre-Sequel and enhances himself with implants and augmentations which slowly make him more machine than man. Another well-known character you can choose in the game is Claptrap, who takes the overall silliness of the game franchise and puts it into game mechanics, with random action skills that are not always beneficial, asking teammates of high-fives to give boosts to others or himself, or drawing aggro from enemies when lying on the floor since the enemies cannot help themselves and simply have to “kick him while he’s down”. In the Pre-Sequel, she can be played for the first time and allows for some elemental shenanigans with her shield, which she can throw like Captain America. But wait, are we playing the legendary Vault Hunters to save Jack from distress? No, but we have various other psychopaths to choose from: Athena the Gladiator might be ringing some bells with anyone who played “The Secret Armory of General Knoxx” DLC from the first installment since she was a major plot character for the storyline there. Jack cannot have that, and this is where you come in: Wake up, ready your weapon, and fire at the opposition. You play as a mercenary that was ordered by a Hyperion employee named Jack, who is in over his head with the military force that currently tries to take control over the Moonbase and therefore might cost Jack’s career as well as thousands of innocent lives.

With the story of “Borderlands” behind us and the occurrences during “Borderlands 2” still yet to come, we the players find ourselves at the Helios Moonbase, which is going to gain quite a significant plot relevance in the story of “Borderlands 2”. Even Handsome Jack started as a small corporate lackey with too many problems and a fist in his face.
