Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games
Photosensitive seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including ashing lights or patterns that may appear in
video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have
an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures”
while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these
seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the
following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a
well-lit room; do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a
doctor before playing.

THE NEW VAULT HUNTERS
After selecting New Game from the main menu, and watching the exciting intro,
it’s time to decide which of the four Vault Hunters you want to be the hero of your
story. Use the left stick to highlight a Vault Hunter, and press A to make your
selection. Don’t rush now, it’s a big decision.
CREATING A NEW-U
MAYA THE SIREN
Bio: Hailing from the
planet of Athenas where
she was once worshipped
as a goddess, Maya has
come to Pandora to learn
more about her Siren
heritage. And to melt her
enemies with the power of
her mind, but mainly that
first thing.
Action Skill: Phaselock – Trap your enemies in a stasis field, and crush the
life out of them.
Combat Style: Control the battlefield with psychic powers and Tech weapons.
AXTON THE COMMANDO
SALVADOR THE GUNZERKER
ZERO THE ASSASSIN
Bio: Salvador is about as
subtle, classy, and sane as
one would imagine a native
of Pandora to be. Which
is to say: not at all. He
loves blowing people up,
getting paid, and laughing
incessantly at the violence
that surrounds him.
Action Skill: Gunzerking – When one gun just isn’t enough, use two!
Combat Style: 1. Get two huge guns. 2. CHARGE!
Bio: Axton was kicked
out of the Dahl PMC for
being too unpredictable –
too much of a fun-loving
glory hog. Rather than
face certain death at a
firing squad, he thought
he’d retire to the one
planet in the galaxy
where his talents would
be appreciated: Pandora.
Action Skill: Sabre Turret – Summon your highly modifiable auto-turret to help
wreck your foes.
Combat Style: Achieve tactical superiority through suppressive fire.
Bio: Zero is a question
mark, wrapped inside an
enigma box, covered in
mystery wrapping, and
topped with a bow of
confusion. Rumor has it
that Zero is just looking for
a real challenge. Rumor
also says that Zero has
four fingers and is actually
an alien robot with a
demon face. So, rumor
can go suck it.
Action Skill: Decepti0n – Confuse your prey with a holographic decoy while
you move in for the kill.
Combat Style: Use sniper rifles to kill at a distance, or get up close
and personal.

PLAYING THE GAME
Playing Borderlands 2 is mostly about four things; kicking ass, getting loot,
staying alive, and leveling up. As long as you can perform these four tasks with a
reasonable amount of success, you’ll do just fine out there in Pandora.
KICKING ASS
SHOOTING STUFF
Most of the indigenous life on Pandora wants you dead, so your most important
goal is to kill them before they can get what they want. Thankfully, Vault Hunters
have a wealth of death-dispensing options at their disposal.
The preferred method of
making things very dead is
to riddle them with bullets. Your
gun always points at
your targeting reticle, so
hold this over your foe and
keep pressing x to fill them
with holes. Hold to aim down
your gun’s sights and pinpoint
your target’s squishy Critical
bits.
Critical Hits: Each enemy on Pandora has one or more Critical Hit locations.
Attack them in these soft, vulnerable weak points for massive damage.
THWACKING THINGS
If you feel like getting up-
close-and-personal with the
enemy, you can click the right
stick to give them a taste of
your melee weapon. Special
bladed weapons and other
equipment can increase your
melee might.
BLOWING UP JUNK
When you’re staring down an
entire horde of baddies, or just
one really big mutha, your guns
and dinky melee weapon just
aren’t gonna cut it. That’s where
grenades come in. Throw a
grenade by pressing ` and
watch your problems literally
vanish before your very eyes.
Grenade Mods: You can make your grenades do all kinds of cool stuff by
equipping Grenade Mods, so keep an eye out for them.
KILLING WITH SKILL
Once you reach Level 5,
you get your Action Skill - an
exciting time for any young
hunter. Action Skills let Vault
Hunters wreak havoc in a
fashion completely unique
to them, and each one
is ridiculously awesome.
Whenever your Action Skill
icon is charged up, press _ to
unleash your badassery upon
your enemies!
The Element Game: Some of the smarter enemies on Pandora will
protect themselves with Shields and Armor. You could just blast away at
these foes with normal weapons, but Elemental Tech weapons will work
way better.
KNOWING THY FOE
To aid you in the kicking of asses,
everything you need to know about
your target appears above their head.
When you damage bad guys, numbers
will fly off of them indicating the
amount of damage you dealt, and if it’s
Critical or being Resisted. Once you
get an enemy’s Health bar down to zero,
they’re dead!
10 1110
PLAYING THE GAME
As you kill your way across
Pandora, you’ll find many objects
and creatures on Pandora that
are filled with loot. Glorious,
glorious loot. Loot you find in
containers or chests usually just
sits there ready for the taking,
while loot from creatures you kill
pops out like some fantastically
morbid piñata. Either way, loot
time is a fun time.
GETTING LOOT
You can pick up small items lying on the ground just by walking over them, and you
can quickly empty a container of all of its items by holding X.
Cash should be pretty self-explanatory. It’s cash money, and you use it to buy
all sorts of goods and services across Pandora. You can also sell unwanted
Equipment items at vending machines to get even more cash.
Ammunition is what makes the world of Pandora go ‘round. Each type of gun;
Pistol, SMG, Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, and Launcher, uses its own type
of ammo, so make sure you carry plenty of each.
Insta-Health vials are equipped with auto-syringes and full of Dr. Zed’s patented
“not a placebo” concoction, semi-guaranteed to medi-magically heal up all of
those bullet holes you’re bound to get in you. Well, 25% of them at least.
SMALL STUFF
Equipment items are the good stuff:
Guns, Shields, Mods, and other things
that help you kick ass and stay alive
longer to kick even more ass. While
in-game, you have to individually
inspect and pick up Equipment items by
pressing X, but if you find something
you want to use right now you can
auto-equip the new item by holding X.
Guns are the fun shoot-y things that
you can use to put bullets into stuff
you don’t like. Each Gun has various
strengths in Damage, Accuracy, Fire
Rate, Reload Speed, and Magazine
Size, but you’re really just going to look
at the Damage.
Shields are protection doohickeys
we’ll talk more about in the Staying
Alive section. Every Shield item
you find varies in Shield Capacity,
Recharge Delay, and Recharge
Rate, and can provide a wealth of unique bonuses to fit your combat style.
Grenade Mods can drastically alter the behavior of your grenades, turning them
into tesla towers, cluster bombs, or even vampiric health-transfusers! All Grenade
Mods have standard stats in Damage, Blast Radius, and Fuse Time.
Class Mods are character-specific items with bonuses tailored to fit your Vault
Hunter’s approach to bustin’ butts. Advanced Class Mods even provide bonuses to
your Skills, allowing you to raise them above their normal maximum values!
Relics are rare items that grant bonuses in all sorts of areas, such as speeding up
your Action Skill, adding Elemental damage to your attacks, or making your Vehicle
go faster. You never know how a Relic will change your game.
EQUIPMENT
Inspecting an equipment item
brings up its Item Card. The
item card displays all the relative
stats for the weapon and some
(but not all!) of the item’s special
functions. The item card also
shows the item’s quality, going
from white for crappy items, to
green, blue, purple, and finally
orange for truly Legendary loot.
When comparing two similar
items, their item cards will show
green and red arrows next to the
stats to help you judge how the
items stack up against
each other.
ITEM CARDS
12 1312
PLAYING THE GAME
Your Health bar shows how much
damage you can take before you
fall down. To prevent that from
happening, you can collect Insta-
Health pickups in the world or, you
know, quit getting hit.
Your Shield bar shows how much
longer your shield generator can
prevent attacks from hitting your squishy, fleshy, body and damaging your Health.
Shields also automatically regenerate from damage, which is more than you can
say for flesh wounds. Some shields have special abilities on them, and will change
the little icon on your shield bar to remind you that they’re special.
STAYING ALIVE
It’s difficult to enjoy your loot when you’re dead, so you should take care that you
don’t end up that way. Pandora’s a dangerous and inhospitable place, even for
Vault Hunters, so watch yourself out there.
HEALTH AND SHIELDS
FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE
When you lose all your Health (for shame),
you’re still not quite dead. If you can get a
kill shortly after you go down, you get right
back up!
CREATURES TO KILL
The murderous, violent, mutated, crazed lunatics that
make up Pandora’s various bandit clans actually constitute
a good majority of the world’s population. This would
prove to be quite the problem for Pandora’s less psychotic
minority if the Bandits ever stopped killing each other
(and themselves) long enough to actually accomplish
something productive.
Now that you’re well versed in how to kill things, here are just a few examples of the
various inhabitants you’ll encounter (and inevitably mass-murder) during your journey:
BANDITS
Thriving in the cold tundra wastes of Pandora, these
simian-like creatures emerge out of their nest holes
to savagely beat the ever-loving tar out of anyone that
wanders into their field of vision. When they aren’t
using their massive size and even more massive
fists to do the smashing, Bullymongs have been
known to throw massive rocks, ice blocks, and
basically any nearby heavy object to do it for them.
BULLYMONGS
Varkids are a metamorphic insect-like species that
evolve into more advanced forms as a reaction to
danger. Though their basic larval forms are small and
fairly harmless, adult Varkids can ruin even a seasoned
Vault Hunter’s day. Thankfully, Varkids’ transformation
cocoons are very vulnerable and rupturing them will kill
the changing Varkid inside.
VARKIDS
These massive behemoths live in the crystal caves
underneath Pandora’s surface, lazily snacking on the
Eridium crystals found underground. While they are
big, lumbering, and slow, Crystalisks are ridiculously
resilient. Their only known “weak” points are the
patches of crystalline armor on their massive feet. One
could attempt to shatter the crystals to take the beast
down—if they don’t get stomped to death first.
Skags were once a common sight on Pandora until they were
hunted down en masse by Pandora’s population due to their
annoying tendency to viciously maul unwary travelers. There
are still hundreds upon thousands of the beasts out there in
the wastes; they’re just less common now.
CRYSTALISKS
SKAGS
Whenever you kill things, or do stuff for the people you don’t kill, you gain
Experience, aka XP. When you get enough XP to fill the XP bar at the bottom
of your screen, you gain a Level. Leveling Up nets you an additional Skill Point,
increases your base Health and Damage, and also instantly refills your Health
and Shield. Leveling Up is great. You like Leveling Up, and therefore it is your
singular goal in Borderlands 2 to get as much XP as possible.
GAINING EXPERIENCE
If you can stay alive long enough, you might
even get the chance to Level Up. Your Vault
Hunter’s Level is their metric for how much
of an ass-kicker they currently are. Attaining
higher and higher Levels gives you more
Skill Points, lets you use bigger and better
Equipment, and generally just makes you
more terrifying. Vault Hunters start at Level 1 and can progress all the way to
Level 50, so you better get cracking.
LEVELING UP
14 1514
In your travels across the world
of Pandora, you’ll inevitably run
into people that will want you to
do things for them. Sure, you’re a
busy Vault Hunter, but don’t cast
off their mewling pleas just yet. If
you complete the tasks they so
desperately need your help with,
they’ll reward you with bonus XP,
cash, and even more loot! And
that’s good!
If you find one of these layabouts
with a “!” over their head, talk to them by pressing the X button. Once you hear
them out, press A to take the job, or press B to tell them to stuff it.
ACQUIRING MISSIONS
GETTING AROUND
In your constant quest to find more things to kill and/or loot, you’ll visit a wide
variety of different locales; each with their own sights to see and, of course,
terrible monstrosities for you to turn into slag. Pandora is a large world, and
Borderlands 2 will take you to many of its expansive regions—sometimes even
back to the same one again and again! Thankfully, you’ve got some handy tools to
help you traverse the world and more importantly, not get lost.
TRAVELING THE WORLD
However, the world of Pandora isn’t just about the killing, looting, and leveling.
There’s also a variety of wonderful places to go, and a whole cast of interesting
people to meet (and possibly not kill)!
It may be small, but it’s always there for you. The
yellow arrow is you, the N points north, and the
diamond thing is where you need to go. Oh, and the
red blips are bad guys. Kill those.
The mini-map only shows your immediate
surroundings, but you can pull up the big boy map at
any time by
pressing <.
Each major region on Pandora
houses a Hyperion New-U
Station hooked up to the
globe-spanning Fast Travel
Network. You can use any Fast
Travel-capable New-U station
to instantly digi-struct a new
you at any Fast Travel station
you’ve activated, free of charge!
Sure, there’s the pesky ethical
quandary of “are you really still
the same person,” but hey!
Fast travel!
Fast Travel machines also automatically scan your ECHO device and display
any missions you have available for your chosen destination. It’s a terrible
invasion of privacy, but it’s also terribly convenient.
MINI-MAP
FAST TRAVEL
Even with Fast Travel, walking
all the way across Pandora
would be time-consuming and
boring. Thankfully there are
the Catch-A-Ride stations,
which can digi-struct your own
personal vehicle right before
your very eyes! Neat!
You can get into your vehicle by
approaching a seat and pressing
X. Vehicles have multiple seats so other Vault Hunters can join in the fun. If you’re
alone, you can amuse yourself by hopping to different seats by pressing A. Once
you get tired of that, you can jump out and hoof it by pressing B.
When driving, just point the camera in the direction you want to go and push the
left stick forward to make the vehicle go in that direction. You can press _ to use
Boost and go really fast. If you’re going too fast hold ` to engage the emergency
brake. You can also blast things with the vehicle’s weapons by pressing x or .
Riding Shotgun: If you’re
riding in the passenger seat,
then just try pressing x to
aim and fire your equipped
weapon. Or, you can rapidly
press A until your buddy lets
you drive.
VEHICLES

Here are some of the popular vacation destinations you can find right here
on Pandora:
Sanctuary is the last free
city on Pandora. Founded
by the ex-Vault Hunter
known as Roland and
protected by his ad-hoc
army of Crimson Raiders,
Sanctuary represents the
last bastion of resistance
against the nefarious
Hyperion Corporation
and its nefarious-er
leader, Handsome Jack.
It’s also a fine place for a
Vault Hunter to load up on Guns and supplies, and get Missions from the
few non-homicidal denizens left on the planet.
Crazy Earl’s Black Market: Old
man Crazy Earl has set up a secret shop
somewhere in Sanctuary where he’ll
reluctantly trade inventory-increasing
Storage Deck Upgrade units for Eridium
crystals. Just don’t tell anyone where you
got them.
PLACES TO GO
SANCTUARY
CLAPTRAP’S PLACE
Located deep in the frozen
wastes of Pandora’s glacial
zone, Claptrap’s Place
serves as a sanctuary of
warmth and hospitality
that weary travelers can
use as a respite against
the biting winds and
penetrating cold. Ah, who
are we kidding? The place
is a dump, literally, where
Handsome Jack unloads
all of his useless garbage.
Claptrap’s just squatting here while he plans his “vengeance,” and beggars
can’t be choosers.
The Golden Loot Chest: Inside Pierce
Station lies a mysterious Golden Loot Chest,
fabled to hold weapons of legendary power.
Problem is, the only way to open it is by
using Golden Keys, which are only available
through something called a “Shift Code.”
WILDLIFE EXPLOITATION RESERVE
What happens when you
combine a great deal
of money with a great
deal of immorality? The
Wildlife Exploitation
Preserve is your answer.
Hyperion used its massive
funds to create what
basically amounts to a
24-hour animal torture
camp, where Hyperion
“scientists” experiment
on Pandora’s wildlife,
researching both the uses
of Eridium and how loud a Skag screams when it’s tortured (hint: pretty loud).
Opportunity is Hyperion’s
shining city of the future!
(You’re not invited.) Once
Handsome Jack wipes
out all you pesky Vault
Hunters and civilizes the
borderlands, the entirety
of Pandora will look like
Opportunity—shiny, clean,
and safe, without any of
that bothersome “freedom”
stuff mucking up the place.
OPPORTUNITY
18 1918
TINY TINA
If you’ve ever been
desperate to hang out with
an insane, thirteen-year-
old demolitions expert,
then A) you should be
removed from decent
society and B) you’ll really
like Tiny Tina. An old friend
of Roland and his Crimson
Raiders, Tina is as talented
with high explosives as she
is with throwing imaginary
tea parties. And she’s
really good at throwing
tea parties.
PEOPLE TO SEE SIR HAMMERLOCK
A true gentleman and a
scholar, Sir Hammerlock
has come to Pandora to
study the local wildlife.
Pandoran wildlife doesn’t
take particularly well to
being studied, which
explains why half of
Hammerlock’s limbs are
now made of metal. Still,
his various injuries have
done nothing to quench
Hammerlock’s thirst for
knowledge, and he’ll likely
pay a go-getting Vault Hunter to help him continue his research.
In the words of a former
Crimson Lance Assassin:
“Don’t touch him if you
ever want to eat with your
hands again.” He may
smell like a sewage plant
and sound like he’s been
repeatedly hit over the head
with a crescent wrench, but
Scooter is the most gifted
mechanic on Pandora. If
you need a ride, Scooter’s
your man.
SCOOTER
These are some of the more interesting characters you’ll meet in Borderlands 2
that will help you out, and might even give you a Mission or two. At the very least,
they won’t try to kill you! Probably. No promises.
CLAPTRAP
MARCUS
Thanks to Handsome
Jack’s destruction of the
entire CL4P-TP product
line, this little steward
bot is the last of his kind.
For this reason, he wants
Handsome Jack dead just
as much as you do! His
robotic heart burns with
a desire for vengeance,
blood, and vindication.
And dancing.
There are two things you
should know about Marcus
Kincaid, the foremost arms
dealer on Pandora. Firstly:
you can always trust him
to sell you quality firearms.
Secondly: you cannot trust
him in literally any other
context. Marcus cares
about profit, and profit
alone—so long as you
intend to keep killing people
and buying stuff, the two of
you will be thick as thieves.

Ah, Skills. Skills pay the bills, man.
After you use your first Skill Point at
Level 5 to get your awesome Action
Skill, you can use each Skill Point
you get when you Level Up on the
Skills display to make your Vault
Hunter even more of an ass-kicker
than they already were.
Each Vault Hunter has three distinct
Skill trees that each focus on a
different style of kicking the crap out of
crap. You start out only having access to the beginner level of Skills in each tree,
but for every 5 Skill Points you drop into a tree, you unlock the next level in that
tree. Oh, and those Skills way down at the bottom? You’re going to want those.
SKILLS
MANAGING YOUR STUFF
MAP
Unlike its smaller, clingier cousin,
the big Map displays the entire
region you’re currently in, along with
all Objectives for your active Mission
and any Vending Machines and
other Stations you’ve discovered
along the way.
It also features a nifty cursor you can
scroll around with using the left stick
in order to get more info on things, or
drop a personal waypoint by pressing
A, a zoom function handled by pressing or x, and a handy reminder for what
all the little icons mean that you can bring up by pressing Y.
Your Inventory is where you manage
all the sweet loot you find. You’ll
probably be looking at this thing
a lot. The main panel shows your
currently Equipped items and all the
other junk you’re carrying around in
your Backpack.
You can select an item to compare
with others by pressing A, and
swap it out with the compared item
by pressing A again. You can also
personally inspect any item by clicking the right stick, and mark awesome
items as Favorites or junk items as Trash by clicking the left stick. If an item’s
really terrible, just drop it by pressing Y. You can also sort through all the
stuff in your Backpack by pressing or x.
INVENTORY
Press < to access the personal management display on your ECHO device.
You can cycle between ECHO management apps by pressing _ or `. When
you want to get back to shooting, close the ECHO display by pressing B.
Your Mission Log tracks all of
those super-important Missions
you promised the good people of
Pandora you’d do for them. You can
scroll through all of the Missions
you’ve accepted and view the goals
and details of each one, including
the awesome rewards you get for
doing them.
You can choose which Mission
you’re going to devote your precious
time to by pressing A, and apply a variety of sort filters to your Mission List
by pressing Y. Best of all, you can click the right stick to ignore Missions you
don’t want to do. You can always go back and “un-ignore” them later, but it
just feels nice to clean up the clutter.
Your Mission Log also tracks your current XP total, and the XP required to hit your
next Level. It’s really not that important, except for being completely important.
MISSION LOG
So we all know the Vault Hunters
are badass, but your Badass Rank
shows how badass you are. Yes, you,
the player. The Badass Rank display
shows your current Badass Rank
(obviously), and your progress towards
getting that sucker even higher. You
raise your Badass Rank by completing
Challenges, which are also handily
tracked on your Badass Rank display.
As you raise your Badass Rank, you
gain Badass Tokens. Redeeming a Badass Token lets you pick a permanent stat
bonus for all your Vault Hunters. Each and every one. Have a Level 17 Axton? He
gets it. A Level 2 Maya? Yep. Wanna make a new Zero? Sure. He gets them too.
It’s so meta, you won’t know where the game ends and you begin.

So what do you do with all that cash money
weighing down your pockets and extra junk filling
up your Backpack? Well, that’s what Vending
Machines are for. Activate a Vending Machine by
pressing X to take a look at its beautiful bounty of
goods for sale. When you find something you like,
press A to purchase it. Before shelling out cash
for an item, you can press X to compare it to your
current stuff, you shrewd dealer, you. You can press
A to Sell items from your own Inventory and even
Buyback items you didn’t mean to sell. There aren’t
any “refunds” though. This isn’t a charity.
Different vendors sell different items. If you’re
looking for something specific, just head to the right
machine:
Marcus Munitions: Marcus Munitions carries
only the finest cut-rate weaponry for not-so-
extortionary prices.
Ammo Dump: Got ammo problems? Drop a load
at the Ammo Dump to
keep your guns firing regular.
Dr. Zed’s Meds: Dr. Zed’s got you covered with all the
shields and Insta-Health you need to stop dying so often.
VENDING MACHINES
To help travelers on Pandora do whatever it is they do, certain fine citizens have
established a network of helpful devices all over the planet that provide a wealth
of goods and services. It’s the pinnacle of convenience, as long as you can
survive the trek to reach one—and it’s actually in working condition.
USING THE FACILITIES
Hyperion’s New-U stations will automatically scan
and store your molecular structure data whenever
you approach one, even if you don’t want it to. But
you probably will, since when you do finally fall to the
vicious inhabitants of Pandora, the last New-U station
you passed will digi-struct a brand new you (for a small
reconstruction fee)!
Fast Travel: Major New-U stations in each area are
linked into Pandora’s Fast Travel network. Activate a Fast
Travel station to instantly digi-struct a new you at any
Fast Travel New-U stations you’ve been scanned at.
NEW-U STATIONS
Just in case you haven’t got enough Missions to
do for the denizens of Pandora, there’s always the
Bounty Board, where people post even odder jobs
when they can’t be bothered to actually go out and
find a trusty Vault Hunter to do them.
Using a Bounty Board works remarkably like
accepting a Mission in-person. Activate a Bounty
Board to bring up its available missions, press A to
accept a Mission or press B to walk away.
BOUNTY BOARDS
QUICK-CHANGE MACHINES
Scooter’s Catch-A-Ride stations will digi-struct
any one of Scooter’s own super-customized
vehicles specifically made for the harsh terrains
and dangers of Pandora. Each and every one
of them are heavily armed and armored, and
they come in a variety of fancy designer colors.
Press E at a Catch-A-Ride to enter the Vehicle
Customization screen. Here you pick which
vehicle you want, what weapons you want on
it, and what pretty colors you want it painted in.
Once you’re done, select “Spawn Vehicle” to
digi-struct your customized beauty and take ‘er
for a spin!
If you ever lose your precious vehicle, or if
your buddy took off without you, a Catch-A-Ride station can also instantly
teleport you right into an available seat.
CATCH-A-RIDE STATIONS
Step into a PTM Quick-Change Personal Transformation
Machine by pressing X to change your look, clothing,
name, or pretty much anything. It’s like a brand new you
without all the horrible dying and digi-struction!
You can change up your facial features with different
Head options, and switch out your overall look with a
variety of different Skins. You can get new Quick-Change
customization options by gaining Badass Ranks, or as
rare loot drops out in Pandora. There are tons to collect
for each Vault Hunter, and you know you’re gonna want
all of them.

Vault Hunters that work together have a much better chance of not winding up
Skag chow. Each Vault Hunter has a number of Skills that can buff, protect, and
heal their teammates, and can even set up some pretty badass tag-team attack
combos. You can even equip Class Mods that provide bonuses to the entire
team, if you’re feeling particularly charitable.
Of course, should a fellow Vault Hunter fall in combat, you can rescue them by
running up to them and holding X for a few seconds. You’ll be a literal lifesaver,
and have that warm fuzzy feeling for days.
WORKING TOGETHER
Vault Hunters on a team can also securely
exchange Equipment items and cash through the
Trade Screen on their ECHO device. Approach
another Vault Hunter and hold B to open the
Trade Screen. You can move items from your
Inventory into the Trade window and hit the Trade!
button to seal the deal.
FAIR TRADES
Though individually badasses in their own right, Vault Hunters shouldn’t brave
the dangers of Pandora on their own. The Vault Hunters are a team; a highly
volatile and dysfunctional team, but still a team. So go out and be a team player!
When playing with other Vault
Hunters, there are a few things
you should consider. First, having
a high Vault Hunter concentration
makes Pandora angry, and she’ll
spawn higher numbers of bigger
and more badass creatures to take
all of you down. You have to work
as a team to survive. Remember
that team thing? But, bigger and
more badass creatures also means
bigger and more badass loot, so
the reward is well worth the risk.

進行視訊遊戲的重要健康警告
光刺激誘發癲癇症
有極少數的人在觀看一些視覺影像時可能會突然癲癇發作，這些影像包括電玩遊戲
中出現的閃光或圖形。甚且連沒有突然發病或癲癇史者也可能在進行電玩遊戲時，
出現類似癲癇症狀，這類未經診斷的症狀稱為「光刺激癲癇症」。
癲癇症狀包括頭昏眼花、視幻覺、眼部或臉部抽搐、手腳痙攣、暫失方向感、精神
混淆或者暫時失去意識。癲癇發作時可能因為失去意識或抽筋之故，跌落地面而受
傷或碰撞到周遭物品。
若出現以上所述任何症狀，請立即停止該遊戲並送醫診斷。家長應該在場看顧或者
詢問其是否有以上症狀，相較於成人，兒童及青少年更有可能發生此類癲癇症。若
要降低誘發光刺激誘發癲癇症的風險，可以進行下列預防措施：
- 坐在距離螢幕較遠的地方
- 使用較小的螢幕
- 在照明充足的室內進行遊戲
- 不要在感覺疲累或倦怠時進行遊戲
如果您自己或您的親友有癲癇史，請在進行遊戲之前先與醫師諮詢。
