Gameplay Edit

The gameplay of 'The Border Lands' is similar to a retro birds-eye shooter, presenting a fixed square of terrain and various enemies attacking from the four gates on the sides. The Borderlands 2 twist is that there are procedurally generated guns (for gun parts see below) and enemies have a chance of dropping red chests.

Players start by picking one of the four Borderlands 2 character classes each with different stat ratings:

• Salvador: Health 2/4, Speed 1/4, Damage 4/4

• Maya: Health 2/4, Speed 3/4, Damage 2/4
• Zer0: Health 1/4, Speed 4/4, Damage 2/4
• Axton: Health 2/4, Speed 2/4 Damage 3/4

(Gaige the Mechromancer does not feature in this game)

Characters start with a single shot pistol that will do 10-20 damage to enemies with a short range (damage and range increase with levels which can be gained via killing enemies and earning EXP). The player must then kill all of the enemies to complete the level.

Taking DamageEdit

If the character collides with an enemy or is shot, it will lose health. If all health is lost (indicated by the red bar at the top of the screen) the character will lose a life and teleport to the center at full health.

If the character Levels up, its health bar will be fully restored, this will also be done at the start of each level.

If all lives are lost, then it is game over. The accumulated score will be shown and the player can add his/her initials and the score will be ranked among other players.

LootingEdit

When a red chest is dropped by an enemy, the character can be moved adjacent to it in order to access the contents. The weapon from the chest can then be equipped or rejected, but only one weapon can be equipped at a time.

Tips & TricksEdit

• By quickly tapping space twice with a shotgun, players can fire two shots before reloading.
• New players (or players who want a high score) should lookout for Wave Accuracy or Higher Railguns, as it is arguably the most powerful gun in the game.
• Players can Click off the Game screen to pause it, and click back on it to resume.

Weapons Edit

Weapons are defined by five parameters.

Type Edit

The type of a weapon determines its look, basic behavior, and range.

Type	Damage	Fire Rate	Range	Clip Size	Area of effect	Notes
Pistol	Medium	Medium	Long	Medium	Single
Machine Gun	Low	High	Long	Large	Single
Shotgun	High	Low	Short	Small	Single	Has inherent spread
Flame	Low	High	Short	Large	Penetrating
Acid	Medium	Medium	Long	Medium	Explosive?
Eridian	Medium	Medium	Long	Medium	Explosive?
Rockets	High	Low	Long	Small	Explosive
Railgun	High	Low	Long	Medium	Penetrating

Due to their range and ability to penetrate enemies and even obstacles, the Railgun is probably the best weapon type, especially one of at least Wave accuracy.

Accuracy Edit

The accuracy category of a weapon determines how the direction of the shots are determined. From best accuracy to worst, these are:

• Two-Way: Fires shots directly in front of the character and directly behind at the same time. This doubles the total number of shots fired.
• Focused: Fires shots directly in front of the character.
• Wave: Fires shots directly in front of the character; shots move side-to-side as they travel.
• Spread: Fires shots randomly in a cone of about 30 degrees to each side in front of the character.
• Random: Fires shots in random directions.

Note that Shotguns have some inherent spread, so even a Focused Shotgun will have some spread.

Damage Edit

The damage shown on the card is relative to the character's equipped weapon.

Fire Delay Edit

The fire delay shown on the card represents how long the delay between shots and is relative to the character's equipped weapon. Contrary to the color of the arrows, lower numbers are better.

Clip Size Edit

The clip size shown on the card is relative to the character's equipped weapon.

TriviaEdit

• All of the guns in this game are obtainable in either Borderlands 1 or 2 (with exception to two-way weapons).
• Although this claims to be from before the first borderlands, it still features the Borderlands 2 main characters.
