For those wondering, there was never a 1989 original edition of Borderlands. This is just promotion for Borderlands 2.

Tip: Don't choose the acid weapon given the choice, it's really bad.


Sort of. It does fall a little low in the progression

Edit: moved info in other comment.


The powerups are rather ... ummm ... random and the method for choosing them is not conducive to making good choices. But other that a fun diversion.


Yeah, it's complete random based on level. Even the spread of the ammo, which confused me the most.

There should be pause when opening crate, imho.


I e just like in Borderlands. All drops are randomly generated.


I meant more that they're very unbalanced. As one commenter noted you can get a crazily good railgun very early and be invincible. Equally you can pick up a weapon with random aiming and then have a very very hard time progressing at all.


Some info about the game.

Weapon data:

  Weapon type, Base Damage, Base Rate, Base Clip, Rarity

  Pistol, 7, 700, 5, 0.5
  Machine Gun, 5, 100, 25, 0.7
  Shotgun, 9, 1000, 5, 1
  Flamegun, 11, 80, 30, 1.1
  Acidgun, 7, 600, 17, 1.2
  Railgun, 25, 1500, 5, 1.3
  Rockets, 22, 1300, 3, 1.4
  Eridian, 15, 600, 12, 2.2
Cheat code:

  On menu screen type 'cl4p-tp' to get to level 20 and some Claptrap graphics.


On my second try, I got a double (Forward + backwards) railgun early on. So overpowered it's not even funny. Most enemies don't even make it out of spawn zones, if you take a hit it's a sign you're falling asleep.


Some weird bugs where enemies end up on the walls and you can't progress....
