About Borderlands 2 GOTY Edition

Borderlands 2 GOTY Edition bundles the full game with every piece of DLC Gearbox shipped for it. Four campaign add-ons, extra Vault Hunters, and a pile of loot that would’ve cost you separately back in 2012. It’s still the best entry point into the series.

Handsome Jack carries the story on his own. He’s charming, cruel, and constantly talking to you through echo devices while you tear through his private army on Pandora. Very few villains in shooters land this well, mixing genuine menace with lines that actually get a laugh.

The gunplay is where Borderlands built its reputation, and this entry sharpened it. Millions of procedurally generated weapons, each with its own quirks: guns that ricochet, guns that set enemies on fire, guns that fire in a spiral pattern for no reason other than it’s funny. You’ll spend as much time comparing stats as shooting things.

Four playable Vault Hunters at launch, each built around a distinct skill tree. Axton leans on turret support, Maya specializes in crowd control through Phaselock, Salvador goes full aggression with dual-wielding Gunzerking, and Zer0 rewards precise, patient assassination play. The GOTY bundle adds Gaige and Krieg on top of that, expanding the build variety even further.

Co-op is where the game really opens up. Drop in with up to three friends and the loot scales to match, so nobody’s fighting over drops. Fights that feel manageable solo turn chaotic and genuinely fun with a full squad coordinating skills and covering angles.

The included campaign DLC adds real variety on top of the base story. Captain Scarlett’s pirate adventure, Mr. Torgue’s arena of carnage, Sir Hammerlock’s hunting expedition, and the Tiny Tina fantasy campaign that ended up being one of the most beloved side stories the series ever produced.

Visually, the cel-shaded art style still holds up. It gave Borderlands 2 a look that aged better than a lot of its more realistic contemporaries from the same generation, and it’s part of why the game reads as timeless rather than dated now.

If you’ve never touched the series, this GOTY package is the version to start with. Everything that made Borderlands 2 a fan favorite is here, DLC included, with nothing missing from the original release.

Key features

Handsome Jack as the antagonist
He talks to you constantly through echo devices while you fight through his forces on Pandora. Few shooter villains balance genuine menace and dark humor this well.
Millions of procedural weapons
Every gun rolls with its own quirks, from ricocheting rounds to elemental effects. Comparing stats and chasing a better drop becomes as addictive as the shooting itself.
Six playable Vault Hunters
Axton, Maya, Salvador, Zer0, Gaige, and Krieg each run a completely different skill tree. Build variety here goes well beyond picking a favorite gun type.
Full four-player co-op
Loot scales to match your squad size, so nobody’s stuck fighting over drops. Fights that feel manageable solo turn genuinely chaotic with a full team.
Complete campaign DLC included
Captain Scarlett, Mr. Torgue, Sir Hammerlock, and the Tiny Tina fantasy campaign are all bundled in. No separate purchases needed to get the full story.
Cel-shaded art direction
The comic-book visual style has aged better than a lot of its more realistic contemporaries. It’s a big part of why the game still looks sharp today.
