What to consider
Summarized by AIBorderlands 3 fans want guns to chase, loot to compare and a friend to shoot alongside. These five stay in looter-shooter territory: Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel are series siblings, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands goes fantasy, PAYDAY 2 turns the squad into a heist crew, and Gunfire Reborn adds roguelite runs.
1. Borderlands 2
Best for series fans who want four-player shoot-and-loot with a memorable villain.
136 votes
Four vault hunters, four-player co-op and a bazillion weapons come straight from the same recipe, this time aimed at the villain Handsome Jack and a quest for revenge and redemption. The living planet is unpredictable. A good step back for anyone who enjoys the series' shoot-and-loot rhythm.
Standout features
- Four vault hunters
- Bazillion weapons
- Four-player co-op
A fantasy world run by the unpredictable Tiny Tina swaps vault hunters for a multiclass hero you roll yourself, with both guns and spells in play. Party up with friends in cross-platform multiplayer, and loot-filled dungeons await. Whimsy is the tone.
Standout features
- Multiclass hero creation
- Cross-platform multiplayer
- Fantasy loot dungeons
3. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Best for series completionists who want Handsome Jack's backstory.
51 votes
Pandora's moon is the setting, and the story explains how Handsome Jack rose to power, taking place between the first game and Borderlands 2. The shoot-and-loot loop is intact, and the comedy tag matches the series' tone. It is a good fit for players who already know the second game and want its villain's backstory.
Standout features
- Pandora's moon setting
- Handsome Jack origin
- Shoot-and-loot comedy
Heists replace vaults here: four players put on the crew's masks and take contracts through the CRIMENET network, ranging from small-time store hits to much bigger jobs. It is an action-packed co-op shooter with the looter-shooter tag, so the guns and the group are there, while the loot comes from crime.
Standout features
- CRIMENET contracts
- Four-player crew
- Washington DC heists
Randomness runs the show: levels are procedurally generated, weapons drop at random, and each hero has different abilities. You can go alone or with up to three others in four-player co-op. It brings roguelite runs to the loot-and-shoot formula Borderlands 3 fans know.
Standout features
- Procedurally generated levels
- Random weapon drops
- Four-player co-op
