PLAY CO-OP AND GET BETTER LOOT[edit]

The more players in your game, the harder the enemies and better the loot will be.

JOINING YOUR FRIENDS[edit]

Though individually badasses in their own right, Vault Hunters shouldn’t brave the dangers of Pandora on their own. The Vault Hunters are a team; a highly volatile and dysfunctional team, but still a team. So go out and be a team player!

PLAYING CO-OP[edit]

When playing with other Vault Hunters, there are a few things you should consider. First, having a high Vault Hunter concentration makes Pandora angry, and she’ll spawn higher numbers of bigger and more badass creatures to take all of you down. You have to work as a team to survive. Remember that team thing? But, bigger and more badass creatures also means bigger and more badass loot, so the reward is well worth the risk.

WORKING TOGETHER[edit]

Vault Hunters that work together, end up not being Skag chow together. Each Vault Hunter has a number of Skills that can buff, protect, and heal their teammates, and can even set up some pretty badass tag-team attack combos. You can even equip Class Mods that provide bonuses to the entire team, if you’re feeling particularly charitable.

Of course, should a fellow Vault Hunter fall in combat, you can rescue them by running up to them and holding E for a few seconds. You’ll be a literal lifesaver, and have that warm fuzzy feeling for days.

PICKING A FIGHT[edit]

If you’re not feeling particularly helpful, you can melee attack another Vault Hunter by pressing V to challenge them to a “friendly” duel. The duel ends when one player leaves the duel area, or runs out of Health.

Up the Ante[edit]

If you want to make things more… interesting, you can use the Trade window to wager cash and items on the outcome of the duel.

FAIR TRADES[edit]

Vault Hunters on a team can also securely exchange Equipment items and cash through the Trade Screen on their ECHO device. Approach another Vault Hunter and hold X to open the Trade Screen. You can move items from your Inventory into the Trade window and hit the Trade! button to seal the deal.
