Handsome Jack rules Pandora through his control of Eridium, a valuable mineral emerging from the planet’s crust. Set five years after Borderlands, Borderlands 2 follows a new group of Vault Hunters drawn to Pandora by rumors of a larger hidden Vault.
Players choose from four new Vault Hunters and battle hostile creatures, psychos and Jack’s forces with a wide range of weapons. The quest involves revenge and redemption, with cooperative play allowing four players to fight together.
