In my right hand is my favorite weapon, Miss Moxxis Vibra-Pulse, a laser gun that spits a wavy line of volts like Egons proton pack. My character class, Gladiator, grips a round shield in her left hand when her class ability is triggered, absorbing or reflecting damage before hurling the shield like a boomerang-frisbee. Fifteen hours in, I realize that Im playing Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel as a flying Ghostbuster Captain America.
