It's kind of hard to believe that it's been 7 years since we got a proper Borderlands sequel (not counting The Pre-Sequel, because no one should count The Pre-Sequel). Even though the series is ostensibly a game about shooting people in the face, and experiencing various unique forms of scatological humor, there actually is a decent amount of story in the series. Along with that story, there's a pret𝄹ty massive cast of characters returning for the third installment.

If you're a Borderlands newbie, or it's just been a while and you can't remember who any of these murderers are, it can be hard to understand why any ofꦜ these characters matter. So for your convenience, here's a quick rundown of all your returning, trigger-happy friends.

Lilith

Lilith is the leader of the Crimson Raiders, a title she inherited when previous leader, Roland, was killed in the last game. She's also one of the Sirens, who are women who get all kinds of crazy cosmic powers, as well as some funky glowing tattoos. She goes by the nickname "The Firehawk", due to her being 🧔able to essentially turn into a hawk made of fire. When this game starts, she's trying to find a map to a powerful Vault, whil💟e also trying to stomp out a crazy cult called the Children Of The Vault.

Everyone's favorite (or most hated) reoccurring rectangular robot is back to either delight or annoy you throughout the game. He's pathetic, needy, and greedy, yet he's pretty much the mascot of this series. Also, he may sound a little bit different 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fo🌊r some icky non-game related reasons.

Brick

Brick was one of the original Vault Hunters from the first Borderlands. He's a meathead who mostly follows Lil💝ith's orders. He's kind of dumb, and he's a big fan of punching things. If the trailer is anything to go by, he may also now have a sweet moustache, and can play the saxophone.

Marcus

This guy has been around sin💯ce the start, and is the one who drives the bus that first picks you up and drops you off at your first mass killing spree location. He sells you guns at♑ exorbitant prices, and sends you off on dangerous missions that mostly only benefit him. Oh, and now he has a sweet ponytail.

Mordecai

Mordecai is the final surviving Vault Hunter from the original game, along with Lilith, and Brick. He's mainly known for being a great shot, and a pretty lousy drunk. His bird and best friend Bloodwing was killed by Handsome Jack in Borderlands 2, so he's since taken up the responsibility of raising a new 💮bird, and has al🎃so given up drinking.

Sir Hammerlock

One of the foremost hunters and explorers on Pandora. He's a c🍸lassy, upstanding, British gentleman, who occasionally is known to utter words like "bonerfarts."

If you slogged through The Pre-Sequel, 💮you might remember this character as The Baroness, who was added in as DLC. She's also the sister of Sir Hammerloc🎃k, so expect a friendly/deadly sibling rivalry between the two.

Ellie

After Scooter was sadly jettisoned into the vast emptiness of space in Tales From The Borderlands, Ellie has taken over the Catch-A-Ride business. Ellie is the one who will provide you with vehicles to traverse the wastelands. She's also fond of elaborate, Saw-esque murder traps for bandits.

Moxxi

The mother of Ellie,🔯 as well as the dearly departed Scooter, and possibly dozens of others, Moxxi is the bombshell that runs her own tavern for the weary travelers on Pandora. There's also a good chance that in the downtime between games she's come across another husband or two. Or six.

Tannis

The insane scientist is back, likely to give more expositio🤪n, spout more semi-scientific jargon, and insult both your intelligence, and what you're wearing. She's fun.
