Borderlands
video game. It is the first game in the Borderlands series, developed by
Gearbox Software, and published by 2K Games for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360,

focuses on a group of four "Vault Hunters", who travel to the distant planet

population, but ultimately attempting to stop the head of a private
corporation army from reaching the vault first.

The game features the ability to explore the in-game world, and complete
both main missions and optional side quests, either in single-player or
online cooperative gameplay, with the latter providing additional options for
duels and competitive PVP matches in designated areas. Gameplay features
