What is the main plot of borderlands 2?

Answer 1

Borderlands 2 follows on from the original Borderlands, in which a guardian 'Angel' guides a team of 4 'Vault Hunters' to find and open a mysterious Vault. The Vault turns out to be a prison for an alien monstrosity, which the Vault Hunters defeat. Unknown to them, 'Angel' is a signal being broadcast from a Hyperion company satellite, setting the scene for Borderlands 2.

In Borderlands 2, Hyperion's CEO Handsome Jack is beseiging the game's main planet of Pandora to wipe any opposition out, in order to reopen the vault. New Vault Hunters arrive, only one (the player) survives Jack's attack and joins the resistance, which is lead by the original team of Vault Hunters, met over a large portion of the game. Though guided again by Angel, it turns out she is working for Jack, betraying the resistance - but after this she offers genuine help in order to help defeat him. It turns out that she is human, not an AI as presumed, and that Jack is her father. She ends up dying, though Jack manages to kill one member of the original hunters, and kidnap another.

Ultimately Jack opens the vault, gaining control of a guardian beast inside, a warrior with almost limitless power. The player is able to defeat the warrior before it reaches full strength, and kill Jack in a final showdown.

Throughout the game the player meets many eccentric characters, who help, hinder, and occasionally annoy.
