About Borderlands 2 VR
Borderlands 2 VR drops the classic shooter‑looter into virtual reality, letting you walk the chaotic world of Pandora as a Vault Hunter. The game keeps the series’ hallmark of endless guns and loot while demanding real‑world aiming and motion for combat. Four distinct classes—Siren, Commando, Gunzerker and Assassin—offer varied skillsets, and the title supports full controller input and tracked controllers for immersive play. All content is single‑player and available through Steam on Windows.
01 / THE GUIDE
Playable Classes
Borderlands 2 VR lets you choose from four classes: Siren, Commando, Gunzerker, and Assassin, each described as having unique skillsets and combat styles. This selection determines the abilities you can employ during your vault‑hunting runs. The class choice influences how you approach enemies and use the game’s abilities, and the loot pool is procedurally generated for every class. Selecting a class tailors the experience without altering the core shooting mechanics.
- Experiment with each class to see which combat style feels most natural in VR.
- Notice how each class’s abilities complement the Slow‑Mo and Teleport tools.
02 / THE GUIDE
Procedurally‑Generated Gear
The game features a massive variety of guns, shields, grenades, relics and class mods that are procedurally generated, meaning each item has its own capabilities and modifiers. This endless pool fuels the series’ loot‑centric loop. All gear is obtained through combat and exploration, and the variety encourages players to constantly seek better equipment without any fixed inventory limits mentioned.
- Focus on acquiring new weapons to experience the range of procedural variations.
- Compare the modifiers on similar guns to gauge their effectiveness.
03 / THE GUIDE
Slow‑Mo Ability
A new Slow‑Mo ability lets you temporarily reduce time, giving you a window to set up attacks. This tool is presented as a way to plan your next move during combat. Slow‑Mo is presented as a tactical pause that can be combined with other abilities.
- Use Slow‑Mo when surrounded to prioritize targets.
- Combine Slow‑Mo with Teleport for rapid repositioning.
04 / THE GUIDE
Teleport Movement
Teleport allows you to glide across Pandora, described as moving “as gracefully as ClapTrap, if he had grace.” This movement option adds a way to glide across Pandora beyond standard walking. Teleport is a distinct ability from standard locomotion and can be used to traverse terrain or evade enemy fire.
- Practice Teleport in open areas to gauge distance.
- Pair Teleport with Slow‑Mo for precise positioning.
05 / THE GUIDE
VR Controls and Support
Borderlands 2 VR is a VR‑only title that includes full controller support and tracked controller support, meaning you can use motion‑tracked devices for aiming and interaction. The game runs on Windows via Steam and supports family sharing. No other input methods are specified, so the experience relies on the supported VR controllers for all actions.
- Ensure your tracked controllers are calibrated before starting.
- Take advantage of family sharing to let multiple accounts try the game.
