Announcing Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
So 2K & Gearbox have finally confirmed that the new game is indeed going to be called "Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel" and will take place in Pandora's moon. As this is a pre-sequel (may call it Borderlands 1.5), it'll take place before between the events of Borderlands 1 & 2. Just like the games before, there will 4 classes but this time they are not some unknown mercenary but characters from Borderlands 1 and 2. At least 2 of which appeared as boss in Borderlands 2. They'll work under Handsome Jack start as a good character but during the length of the game will slowly transform to the villainous character we know him as of today.
The classes are:
Athena the Gladiator (leader of Crimson Lance Omega Assassin squad turned defector in BL1)
Wilhelm the Enforcer (first major boss in BL2, a cyborg)
Nisha the Lawbringer (Sheriff of Lynchwood in BL2, only female boss)
Claptrap the Fragtrap! (no introduction needed for this little pesky fellow)
Being set in Pandora's moon, Elphis there will be some gameplay mechanic change including Oz (oxygen) kits which will power a jet pack which allows double jump & ground slam, new laser weapons (not E-Tech), Cryo (freeze or slow down enemy), headshot enemy Oz helmet to stun them, etc.
Developer: Co-developed by Gearbox Software and 2K Australia
Platform: PC, Xbox360 & PS3
Release: October 14th in US, 17th Worldwide.
Preorder: Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel [Steam] and get access to the Shock Drop Slaughter Pit at release!
Class Details:
Athena: Action skill is Aspis (a shield) which absorbs all frontal damage. The Aspis can store a finite amount of absorbed damage as energy, based on the players level. The Aspis is thrown at the end of the active duration, or if the [Action Skill Button] is pressed again. The Aspis creates an explosion upon impact, dealing base damage plus double the stored energy before returning.
Wilhelm: His action skill is known as Air Power which lets him summon 2 drones (Wolf & Saint) to assist him during combat. Wolf takes the more aggressive role of laying down fire on enemies. When he wanders, Wolf will follow his lead and focus fire on the new targets. Saint stays closer to Wilhelm and replenishes his health, and he also has a protective shield. The makes his skill useful in both offensive and defensive situations.
Nisha: Action skill is Showdown. Auto lock on enemy critical hit spots, fire rate, reload speed, accuracy, and bullet speed. Further down the skill tree dual wield is unlocked. Oh, and in the classic style: a whip.
Claptrap: Claptrap’s action skill is named VaultHunter.exe, and when he uses it he’s granted one of several random abilities for a short time. If you’re lucky and Claptrap’s programming is working properly, you might get a brief opportunity to use a version of another Vault Hunter’s skill, like becoming a Gunzerker (In Claptrap’s case, Funzerking!) or a Mechromancer (You’ll love your new fire rate!). If you’re less lucky, you might be stuck bouncing up and down uncontrollably or launching a torrent of grenades that will obliterate friend and foe alike.
Beyond that, depending on the skill tree you choose, Claptrap may also gain the ability to cycle between subroutines that increase his efficiency with different types of guns, health regeneration, defense, or other stuff. He also has the opportunity to choose the world’s saddest high five skill, which can increase gun damage, fire rate and health depending on whether or not your teammates leave you hanging.
Update: Oz kits come with some superb enhancements including slam attack damage, resistance (same as the resistance relic from BL2) & can add damage type to the slam attacks.
According to telegraph, there will be 2 types of laser: flamethrower type & the blaster (E-Tech type).
If knocked back, one can recover with a quick burst of oxygen.
Legendary Class Mods have Celestial as prefix instead of Legendary.
