A Newbie's Guide to Getting Up and Running with Borderlands

by Guest User

A Borderland is an amalgamation of first-person shooting and the essence of RPGs; the reason behind this hype is due to its fresh art style, humor, and captivating game style. In fact, for a new player entering this vast world, it could be somewhat overwhelming. The guide that follows covers all of this, from choosing your Vault Hunter to mastering the skill tree to seeking out the best legendary loot. 

Choosing Your Vault Hunter

PlayBorderlands provides different characters that have unique abilities and ways of play. Take your time getting to know the Vault Hunters that your version offers. 

FL4K dominates in pet-based fighting, Zane is good for advanced technological strategies, while Moze is full of explosive firepower; Amara destroys her targets with melee and elemental abilities. You choose a character who will best fit into your style of play.

Understanding the Trees of Skill

Each Vault Hunter has three skill trees that define his style of play. In the process of leveling up, you will be able to spend skill points on these trees. You should work on developing a balanced character that matches your preferred way of play. If you go for an offensive strategy, then deal your points to damage. 

Also, never be afraid to experiment with different skill trees if you think another playstyle might suit your preferences better, as exploring various builds can lead to exciting new strategies and gameplay experiences.

Loot, Loot, and More Loot

Borderlands is a game built upon the collection of loot. Weapons, shields, and grenades come in an infinite set of varieties. Note the color of weapon rarity - legendary items are colored in orange. Do not hoard everything; selling or trading items one does not use helps get rid of the inventory and earns in-game currency too.

Play Co-op for a Better Experience

Borderlands nails co-op game modes. Be it couch split-screen co-op or online co-op, this game works amazingly well when played in co-op. This allows you to take down tougher bosses, share loot, and enjoy the game's vivid environments better. Of course, remember to communicate and coordinate for a better gaming experience.

Side Missions

While the main storylines are exciting, do not forget to look out for side missions. Many quests grant you great rewards, entertaining narrations, and a world of information about Borderlands. Invest time in exploring the maps as they are full of secret treasures, challenges, and Easter eggs.

Survival Tips

  • Always keep your weapons upgraded; going into battles with underpowered gear makes things unnecessarily hard.

  • Spend some money buying a strong shield with high capacity and unique bonuses in order to survive longer.

  • Use elemental weapons strategically: Fire for fleshy enemies, shock for shields, and corrosive for armored foes.

  • Take cover during heavy gunfire to avoid unnecessary deaths.

The first steps in Borderlands are an exciting combination of challenges, humor, and epic fights. Choosing the right Vault Hunter, knowing the skill trees, and then focusing on loot and exploration will set you well on your path to being a great Vault Hunter. Dive into Salvador builds for more fun and remember to experiment as you move through. So, gear up, step into Pandora, and let the hunt for glory and loot begin!
