The "Fan the Hammer" skill tree is oriented towards dealing additional damage using guns along with the ability to dual-wield, while "The Riflewoman" incorporates skills that provide buffs for point shooting and reload speed.
Claptrap, "the Fragtrap", is the last remaining robot of its kind as of Borderlands 2; his skill "VaultHunter. These effects can have a positive or negative impact on the player and their other party members; among these effects are versions of skills used by the previous playable characters in the franchise. The mercenary Wilhelm, "the Enforcer", becomes increasingly augmented with technology and weaponry over the course of the game, transforming him into the more familiar cybernetic form he possessed as the second major boss in Borderlands 2.
He can summon a pair of drones, Wolf and Saint; Wolf serves an offensive role by attacking other enemies, while Saint defends Wilhelm by providing shields and health regeneration. Two additional characters have been released as downloadable content. The first character, Jack, "the Doppelganger", is a man named Timothy Lawrence working as a body double of Handsome Jack who can summon digital copies of Jack to fight alongside him.
The second, Aurelia, "the Baroness", is the sister of Sir Hammerlock who uses an experimental "Frost Diadem Shard" to deal ice elemental damage to enemies.
Both characters become disillusioned with Jack's moral decline over the course of the game. That's because you can also use moonstone in the Grinder, a new machine that combines three weapons of the same rarity into a single weapon of a higher tier. Adding moonstone to the mix guarantees a more impressive result. It seems like a minor addition, and clearly not the sort of thing sexy enough to be shouted about in press releases, but it proves to be the game's single best idea in the long term, offering a new economy to play for when hoarding weapons.
No longer do you have to store or discard unwanted or low-powered loot. Now you can roll the dice on getting something better and clear some inventory slots at the same time. That's about it as far as new ideas go, as it's otherwise business as usual - a state of affairs made clear by the fact this is emphatically not Borderlands 3, but a spin-off side dish. That means once again keeping one eye open for the telltale green glow of a loot crate; lots of circle-strafing around enemies that become increasingly bullet-spongey as you ascend through the levels; and some frustrating boss fights that trap you in enclosed arenas and spam you with attacks.
As always, the idea is that you'll be supported by friends in co-op, and while the game is more fun to play solo than certain rivals yes, Destiny, that means you , this is still a game where you'll want a full lobby to really push the pieces into place. The flavour doesn't last, however, and as the hours tick by it's hard to avoid feeling that The Pre-Sequel is sorely lacking when it comes to memorable new characters.
Too many are bland quest givers, and the few bright spots of humour tend to be squirreled away in side missions. There's a lot of padding as well, with the sort of mission design where no door opens and no machine works first time, sending you from one waypoint to another in barely disguised busywork.
That was arguably true of the previous games as well, but there's a slight lack of spark here that highlights the paucity of stand-out moments. I absolutely loved Borderlands 2 - right up to the point where it swallowed my saved game, erasing months of progress.
I didn't encounter anything quite so terrible in The Pre-Sequel, but it's still a game obviously straining at the limits of its engine. Textures pop in slowly, visual and audio glitches are common and the game often freezes for a second when too much is going on. Again, nothing that fans of the series won't already have come to terms with, but it underlines the notion that this is a stop-gap rather than a step forward. RU thread. Discover the story behind Borderlands 2 villain, Handsome Jack, and his rise to power.
Taking place between the original Borderlands and Borderlands 2, the Pre-Sequel gives you a whole lotta new gameplay featuring the genre blending fusion of shooter and RPG mechanics that players have come to love.
