Zero

The entire main campaign of Borderlands 2 takes place on Pandora, a lawless, resource-rich moon where Vault Hunters search for hidden alien vaults.

Vending machines in Borderlands 2 accept standard in-game cash, displayed as your monetary amount in the HUD. Players earn cash by completing missions, selling loot, and defeating enemies. Eridium is a premium mineral used for inventory upgrades, not for buying weapons and ammo at machines.
Which elemental effect best counters shielded enemies?
Corrosive
Cryo
Incendiary

Krieg
Axton

40

Players must reach level 50 and complete the story to unlock higher-level content.
Which elemental damage type is most effective at stripping enemy shields?
Explosive
Incendiary
Corrosive
Shock
Shock damage provides bonus damage directly to shields, depleting them much faster than other elements. Corrosive excels at wearing down armored foes, Incendiary is optimized for organic health, and Explosive offers area-of-effect damage but no special shield bonus.

Spawns a regenerating fire shield on detonation
Reflects enemy grenades
Converts bullets to fire blasts

What unique effect does the legendary shotgun 'Conference Call' have?
Increases fire rate with each shot
Fires through walls for reduced damage
Splits pellets horizontally after exiting barrel
Ricochets bullets off surfaces
The Conference Call shotgun fires a spread of pellets that, upon hitting an enemy or object, trigger additional horizontal projectiles that pass through nearby foes. This creates a powerful cross-pattern effect. It is dropped by The Warrior and is one of the most sought-after legendaries.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Character Classes and Skill Trees -

    Borderlands 2 features six Vault Hunter classes, each with distinct skill trees - Axton's Commando turret supports, Maya's Siren Phaselock utility, and Salvador's explosive Gunzerking style. According to the official Borderlands Wiki, planning skill synergies like Axton's Incendiary Assault and Expert Grenadier can boost overall DPS by over 20%. Use the mnemonic "C-L-A-S-H" (Commando, Siren, Assassin, Gunzerker, Hunter) to recall all classes quickly.

  2. Key Story Quests and Map Progression -

    Memorize major quests such as "A Dam Fine Rescue" and the finale "The Talon of God" to understand narrative flow and unlock essential areas like Sanctuary. The University of Pennsylvania's Digital Games Research Center notes that quest order affects pacing, so use the "FHTD" mnemonic (Fyrestone, Highlands, Tundra Express, Dahl Headlands) to map your journey. Charting quests on a custom timeline aids retention and review.

  3. Weapons and Elemental Damage Types -

    Borderlands 2's elemental roster - fire, shock, corrosive, slag, and explosive - each counters specific enemy defenses; slag uniquely doubles damage taken. Gearbox documentation highlights that pairing shock with shields and corrosive with armored foes maximizes efficiency. Remember "Scorch, Zap, Melt, Double" to recall fire, shock, corrosive, and slag in order of elemental impact.

  4. Loot Rarity and Legendary Farming -

    Loot tiers range from Common (white) to Legendary (orange) and E-tech (teal), with drop rates governed by a pseudorandom seed algorithm detailed on the official Gearbox forums. Iconic items like The Bee shield deliver 300% amp damage, making farming Loot Midgets in Wildlife Exploitation Preserve highly rewarding. Tracking spawn patterns in a spreadsheet can raise your legendary haul by up to 30%, per player-tested data.

  5. BL2 Ellie Axton Trivia and Easter Eggs -

    Ellie Axton, referenced as Axton's long-lost sister, appears in a hidden Claptrap quest documented on the Gearbox official blog, rewarding lore buffs with exclusive skins. Players unlock her by decoding custom Claptrap messages in Sanctuary's garage - source: Borderlands Wiki. Use "EAXTON" ("E"aster egg, "A"xton link, "X" marks cave, "T"rivia logs, "O"dd rewards, "N"PC cameo) to recall each trigger step.
