Shooting and looting drive this first-person role-playing game, which offers an enormous supply of guns to find. You pick from four vault hunters, the Siren, Commando, Gunzerker or Assassin, and fight across a living planet full of creatures and psychos, chasing revenge against the villain Handsome Jack. Each class has its own skills, and the Gunzerker can wield two guns at once.
The game can be played alone or in four-player co-op, and it has full controller support. It has a comedic, irreverent tone and a loot-driven cycle of fighting, collecting and upgrading. It suits players who enjoy shoot-and-loot games and want to team up with friends.

How this game plays best, and the gear to match: a best-value pick and an upgrade for each.

Fast aim in Borderlands 2 needs a light mouse with a quick wireless link. The G305 is a cheap lag-free wireless pick; the Superlight 2 is what pros use.

Upgrade pickLogitech G Pro X Superlight 2Microphone
For crisp voice chat or streaming Borderlands 2, a desk mic beats any headset mic. The AM8 is a great USB starter; the QuadCast S is the creator favorite.
