Score Big: Borderlands Games Discounted for Summer

Prepare for Borderlands 4 with Deep Steam Sale Savings

Gamers can now gear up for Borderlands 4 without breaking the bank. Significant discounts on previous installments within the series are available during Steam’s Summer sale, offering a perfect chance to dive in or revisit the chaotic looter-shooter world.

Deals to Grab Now

The collection of mainline Borderlands titles are currently on sale. Gamers can purchase Borderlands GOTY Enhanced, Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and Borderlands 3 for a total of $22. If you’ve already played the first game, the other three can be obtained for just $12.

Borderlands 2 is celebrated as a standout in the series. Its hero designs and enemy encounters are particularly praised. The True Vault Hunter Mode and Ultimate Vault Hunter Modes heighten the strategy through increased importance of matching your elemental weapons to the right enemy health type. It’s a great opportunity to experience it if you haven’t already!

Game Mechanics Overview

The Borderlands series is known for its customization. Players choose from multiple vault hunter classes with distinctive skill trees. The options allow you to fine-tune your vault hunter’s gameplay. Players can pick between different gun manufacturers with weapons that have different feels. Add different categories of guns—pistols, SMGs, sniper rifles, and elemental weapon types—and you have a treasure trove of ways to customize your gameplay.

The original Borderlands launched the formula. It introduced elements such as soldier and siren classes, vending machines, and recurring characters like Moxxi. Borderlands 2 refined the formula with a compelling villain and added narrative depth. The Pre-Sequel shook things up by moving the action to space and giving players laser weapons.

Borderlands 3 improved mechanics. This included being able to mantle up ledges or slide into barrels to send them flying into enemies. If you stick to the main quests, you’ll play for around 100 hours to beat all four games. If you like to get sidetracked, it will take around 200 hours. The games are significantly more enjoyable when playing with friends.

For the complete Borderlands experience, you can also add Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands for $12, or Tales from the Borderlands, for $15.

With Borderlands 4 scheduled for release soon, there’s no better time to start or expand your collection. In 2023, the Borderlands franchise generated over $1 billion in revenue (Statista).
