My advice is to research both the starting and later abilities of each character before taking your pick, because there’s always a chance that the path of progression you take might not match up with personal tastes. Moze can summon a pilotable mech from the heavens, while FL4K commands a legion of ferocious pets. I loved her snarky dialogue, brash overconfidence and range of varied powers, but couldn’t help but feel I was missing out after learning what the others were capable of. I only had that foresight with a couple of characters, and decided on Amara due to her badass psychic powers and rather attractive physique. So, it’s vitally important you know exactly what each one entails before making a concrete decision. They have a huge impact on the overall experience and how you will learn to approach combat encounters. There are four playable characters in Borderlands 3 in the form of Amara, Moze, Zane and FL4K, and each of these vault hunters possess distinct skills, dialogue and modes of progression. Here to help we’ve put together a few essential tips and tricks to get newcomers started.

Borderlands 3 is finally here! While it maintains the series’ beloved cycle of shooting and looting, there’s plenty of new mechanical intricacies and a truly massive world to get to grips with, so new players might find themselves a tinsy bit overwhelmed.
