How co-op works
Up to four online Vault Hunters complete the lunar campaign together. Distinct class skills combine with low-gravity jumps and stomps, cryogenic and laser weapons, and vehicles, letting the squad attack from different elevations while pursuing shared objectives and loot.
About this game
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel takes the franchise's signature loot-and-shoot formula to Pandora's moon, introducing low-gravity combat and oxygen mechanics. This action RPG supports up to four-player co-op, letting teams tackle the full campaign together as they blast through hordes of enemies and hunt for rare weapon drops.

Players choose from distinct Vault Hunters, each with unique skill trees and abilities that complement different team compositions. The combat balances frantic gunplay with character progression, rewarding coordinated attacks and shared loot pickups. Low-gravity jumps and air boosts add vertical mobility to firefights, while oxygen management creates new tactical layers.
The co-op runs through online matchmaking or private sessions, scaling enemy health and loot quality to the number of players. Communication becomes crucial during boss encounters and chaotic skirmishes, where reviving teammates and coordinating elemental damage types often determines success. The structure supports both drop-in sessions and long-term progression with friends.
