Download Borderlands The Handsome Collection Free on the Epic Store!

If you somehow missed playing Borderlands 2 or Borderlands The Pre-Sequel or simply don't own them on PC yet you are in luck as they are both free on the Epic Store.

Borderlands 2 is one of the best looter shooters and the Pre-Sequel is well worth checking out and now that they are free it's even better.

This is fun, with very few issues, and is well worth your time.

I recently decided to start playing the Borderlands series after getting a good bundle on sale some time ago. The first game was ok. I got used to it and learned. It had fun and challenging moments, which were sometimes polar opposites. Still, I got a lot done and had some fun. So, I moved on to BL2, which immediately looked like a super sweet visual upgrade to the original game. It’s much more than that, though. The AI is better, there are more varieties of weapons, and many other improvements. BL2 is a true sequel and I think playing the first game and then the second made me appreciate them more.

Recently, I finished with BL2 and started playing the Pre-Sequel. At... Read All

Curious when you complete the Pre-Sequel how long that took compared to Borderlands 2. Also curious which you prefer too when you're done w PS.

I finished the PS. I spent close to 100 hours in BL2 and about 40 on the PS. BL2 had more to do, I think the amount of hours spent is clear evidence of that. However, I really enjoyed those lasers in the PS, especially the freezing ones. I also miss the gravity difference sometimes, being able to jump higher and even "moon stomp" was fun. It's hard to pick a favorite between the two. I like them both better than the first game, which really wasn't bad. I did get the BL2 Headhunter DLC packs I was missing. They were cheap ($3/each), almost entirely brief, and almost entirely seasonal. They were enjoyable, but more quests would have made them more fun.

Cool. Thanks Greg.

2K just released some shift codes for Saint Patricks Day in game skins for the PreSequel. https://twitter.com/Borderlands/status/842772535129260032

Interesting. I noticed Shift Codes as a feature, but I didn't go looking for them because I thought I read that they were only accessible during certain time frames. It's cool that they're still releasing some. Thanks!

Travis Admin wrote on 03/19/2017 at 03:41am

Oh wow, yeah there are tons that are still active.

You get a lot of cool loot from the chest.

GregoPeck Super Member Post Author wrote on 03/19/2017 at 03:46am

Wow, I had no idea! Also, I only have 1 Golden Key, obviously I haven't used it yet.

Travis Admin wrote on 03/19/2017 at 03:49am

I'm pretty sure I have 255 in each game, which is the max you can have. I got kinda bored opening the chest at a certain point when those codes were flying through.

GregoPeck Super Member Post Author wrote on 03/19/2017 at 03:54am

Wow well thank you for the links! I've been saving my Golden Key. The game said you get better stuff when you're at a high level, so I thought I'd wait, maybe until I leveled to the max. Thanks a lot bro!

Travis Admin wrote on 03/19/2017 at 03:58am

Yeah no prob! You get better stuff at a higher level, yeah, but I kinda figure using them to get to higher levels is better use of them since the BEST stuff is legendary and you can't get them from the chest anyway.

GregoPeck Super Member Post Author wrote on 03/19/2017 at 05:33am

Wow, BL2 said I had collected 253 Golden Keys! I didn't pay attention to how much I got for the PS. There were skins and stuff, too. Thanks again!

>Yeah no prob! You get better stuff at a higher level, yeah, but I kinda figure using them to get to higher levels is better use of them since the BEST stuff is legendary and you can't get them from the chest anyway.

I didn't know legendaries weren't in them. The point I am in both games is a good place and time to open some chests, or at least one. Almost every mission I have available now is with a big boss or some kind of rounded battle, so now is a good time for better gear. I'm not sure what level my characters are, I'm going to guess 30-40-ish. Thanks again!

Mr Torgue and Sir Hammerlock introduce you to the Pre-Sequel

I wasn't all that excited about Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel until this video, honestly. It seemed like a filler game between last gen and current gen, for the most part. But Mr. Torgue is the cure for what ails you. Not just Torgue, but the info in this video makes me far more excited than I was. The news that this is coming to Linux in addition to all the other common platforms is certainly another point in its favor. But rather than just a cash-grab while working on their current-gen titles, this seems to add quite a bit to the Borderlands formula. What do you think?

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will release on Linux

Earlier in the week, Take-Two's financials were leaked, which showed Linux as a platform for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. IGN has reached out to Take-Two for confimation, and they got it. This is the biggest non-Valve game that I'm aware of to be confirmed for Linux since the OS started gaining traction on Steam. This is definitely good news for Linux users, and I can't wait to try it out.

Awesome. I'm gonna nab those for sure, thanks scrypt.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 08/09/2014 at 12:55am

I've missed a couple that have expired. I need to check back in on them and see if they've given new ones for the ones I missed.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 08/09/2014 at 01:29am

They aren't expired. I just entered them an hour ago. Unless they expired within the hour.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 08/09/2014 at 01:30am

These are specifically for pre-sequel skins.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 08/09/2014 at 03:18am

I know, I'm talking about one from a couple of weeks back.

Check the bottom, this shows which ones are expired.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 08/09/2014 at 03:54am

I guess what I'm saying is that all the codes from the link that I posted were active when I posted them a few hours ago :)

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 08/09/2014 at 04:31am

Ah, I thought that was just talking about them doing it, not actually providing codes. You have to type them in? I hope orcz has them in copy/pastable plain text :)

Ok so there have been 3 released so far and I was able to redeem them all.

Thanks scrypt!

jdodson Admin wrote on 08/11/2014 at 04:22am

Err, 4. 4 have been released.

beansmyname Supporter wrote on 10/13/2014 at 07:11pm

Don't mean to necrobump, but the game is pre-loading for Linux. I'm hoping it unlocks at Midnight.

Well, actually I'm kinda hoping it doesn't. I'm old and I need my sleep. :)

jdodson Admin wrote on 10/13/2014 at 11:08pm

Nah man, necro away.

A triple-a day one on Linux is really great and I believe, this is the first one. Let me know how it plays, I am still making my way through Borderlands 2 so I haven't pre-ordered the pre-sequel yet.
