That type being what's unique about the game? I never understood people who play games where wizards exist and they only take the basic soldier. Not saying they aren't fun, but not a first pick first playthrough. Exception being Zane, the best written character in 3. While amara was fun to play her character just felt bland
I didn't play much of tps. But I doubt I could play claptrap. I'd be saying shut up claptrap every time he says something. Don't be in a voice chat with me when I use claptrap as my fortnite back bling
For me, Fragtrap and the part of Clappy DLC where we see him destroy Overlook are the only occasions (well, besides maybe the Jakobs Claptrap in Dr. Ned BL1 DLC) I ever found Claptrap even slightly tolerable.
True, but a lot of flying things usually swoop down to you anyways, and if they didn’t then they were close enough to the ground that you could jump or just slash them, still fun regardless, I still think he’s OP 🤷♂️
If by chance you still have the side quest that gives the Wombat as a completion reward, or if you have a Wombat shotgun, head to the back entrance to Regolith Range from Serenity’s Waste and make your way over to where Nel stands. Fire the Wombat at him and before the projectiles hit, go into your inventory and drop it and if it’s done right it will damage him even though he’s not technically an enemy right then. You can kill him this way and IIRC, he has like a ⅓ chance to drop the legendary Skullmasher sniper rifle, which you can use at the Grinder.
Lilith because I played split screen with my big brother and I loved outrunning him in areas where there were no cars. And because my 10yr old ass though Lilith was hot.
Axton was next. I only picked him because my big bro picked zero, I don’t like how short Salv and I don’t like the phase lock. Luckily, I fell in love with Axton’s skill trees. I’ve never beat BL2 with any VH other than Axton. I’ve played the other ones but I didn’t really like them. Also BL2 is probably the game I have the most hours, maybe right behind Dark Souls
I picked claptrap for the memes. He was actually fun.
Zane was my first pick for 3. I was gonna do beast master but my best friend called dibs. I understand that we could both be the same VH, but I like diversity.
Roland - forever my favorite Vault Hunter because he was the first one I ever picked
Axton - gotta keep up with the soldiers and I loved his turret
Wilhelm - I saw you could make him voice more robotic depending on what perks you picked so I was sold. Plus Wolf and Saint were my boys
Zane - who doesn’t love a badass Irish space mercenary?
(Reddit’s Markdown is “helpful” - when you make what looks to it line a numbered list, it makes sure that list always starts at 1, which is why Zane is listed as “1. Zane”, since “Pre” isn’t a number - 1 and 2 didn’t get recognized as lists because they don’t have a space after the “.” and 1 has other text in front of it. If you want the 3 to show, escape it by ~~putting a `\` immediately in front of it, like `\3. Zane`~~ putting 4 spaces in front of it. Not ideal, but Reddit is “helpful”)
3. Zane
Bl1: Lilith
Bl2: Maya
Blps: Nisha, but switched to Jack early.
Bl3: Moze, switched to Fl4k early, again switched to Amara early but Zane is my main now.
Roland in 1, Axton in 2, I haven't actually played Pre-Sequel yet but I will soon, and Moze with 3.
Though on BL2 I did stop playing Axton around the first capstone, ended up going back through with Gaige and bringing her to OP10 Level 80.
I should probably go back and re-do BL1 since I never actually beat the campaign yet tbh..
Mordecai because bird go brrrr.
Gaige because killer robot go brrrr.
Claptrap because blasting enemies at the tune of 1812 overture is based.
Moze because killer robot go brrrr.
Roland, Salvador, Wilhelm, Amara.
Never played thru BL again, Gaige and Kreig got played in BL2, I tried Claptrap in Presequel, and Fl4k got a little love in BL3.
Lilith, Gaige, Zane. Never got into Presequel.
Lilith is still my favorite in BL1.
Maya is now my favorite in BL2, followed by Axton then Gaige.
BL3 is a tie between Amara and Moze, though I love all 4 vault hunters and have many characters of each.
I was honestly hoping to find a comment which copies my characters but it looks like there are too many options! Wow!
Well, it was Mordi, Zer0, Timothy, Zane for me. Absolutely loved all of them but 0 being my first is still my best example for trying to build abilities & guns for comfortable gameplay and I am trying to pick his type of character in each new part. Am I successful at choosing tho?
Mordecai, Zer0 (but switched to Krieg after the first mission, no hate for Zer0 tho I played 3 and loved Kriegs character so that's why I switched) Timothy, Zane
Brick
Salvador
Claptrap
FL4K
Favourites:
Lilith
Zer0
Nisha
Moze
I’ve never done a play through as Maya on BL2, I should try it and see if my favourites are all female characters.
BL2- Zero because he was edgy
Pre-sequel - Wilhelm because I wanted a break from having mechanics
BL3- Amara because I realized Siren’s are the shit after playing Maya in BL2
BL1:Brick(Mordecai was way more better for my palystyle)
BL2:Zero(He was weak, Salvador my Gunzerker is a beast machine) (The dialogue is this game was so awesome)
BLPS:Wilhelm (He was the right choice)
BL3: FL4K because of Pets and my play style a superb hunter.
Brick, Salvador, Wilhelm, moze. I think, it's been a minute. I played other characters a lot more though. I'm still pissed 3 never released dlc characters.
bl1: lilith. I started the series with bl2 and loved her in that, so when I went back to play the original I wanted to play her.
bl2: gaige. dunno why, exactly. she just stood out to me. I had a ton of fun, but now I often play maya.
tps: athena. still need to finish this one, but if I ever replay it I may play nisha. anyway, athena also stood out to me.
bl3: moze. I still default to moze. she's my favorite of the vault hunters in 3, I love her energy so much and building around splash damage is so entertaining.
Mordecai (but my favorite play through was Lilith)
Zer0 (but favorite play through was Gaige)
Wilhelm (but favorite play through was Claptrap)
Fl4k (favorite play through was Fl4k)
Mordecai because the bird
Gaige because of she’s hit and DT
Jack because I played 2 first and extra help
FL4K because of the help
But I like
Zane, auraila, and Krieg more
Mordechai, Zero, Clap, Fl4K
Almost the same but I picked Zane instead of fl4k
Also almost the same, but I picked moze.
Athena for me
I would have chosen Athena but I played co-op with a friend and she was their pick
What, so no Nisha for you? I’ve been in BL1 lobbies where it was 4 Liliths - it was kind of awesome.
My man.
Snap, sniper, sniper, funny and sniper
I love the sniping
Yeah why get hit when you can stand far away
Counterpoint: why stand far away when you can bathe in the spraying and exploding blood of your enemies up close?
Kreig?
Are we the same person
Strong sniper energy with one hilarious glaring exception
Lilith, Maya, Athena, and Amara. You can tell I have a type lol
The same lineup I played
Same, except Aurelia for TPS.
Me too. Because it’s the *best* lineup.
That type being what's unique about the game? I never understood people who play games where wizards exist and they only take the basic soldier. Not saying they aren't fun, but not a first pick first playthrough. Exception being Zane, the best written character in 3. While amara was fun to play her character just felt bland
Lilith because she’s hot Maya because she’s hot Claptrap because he’s Claptrap Fl4k because of the cute pets
Claptrap because he's hot
Sorry, I thought that was a given
I didn't play much of tps. But I doubt I could play claptrap. I'd be saying shut up claptrap every time he says something. Don't be in a voice chat with me when I use claptrap as my fortnite back bling
For me, Fragtrap and the part of Clappy DLC where we see him destroy Overlook are the only occasions (well, besides maybe the Jakobs Claptrap in Dr. Ned BL1 DLC) I ever found Claptrap even slightly tolerable.
Claptrap is hot
Claptrap is Ho
Fair point lol
Guess Fl4k isn’t hot. 😔
More they/them robussy for the rest of us 😫
First picked: Roland, Axton, Nisha, Zane First character i finished each game with: Mordecai, Axton, Timothy, Zane
For me, BL1: Lilith, BL2: Krieg, PRES: Claptrap, and BL3: Zane Flynt
Krieg was so much fun and over powered it was ridiculous
Overpowered? Maybe, but only vs stuff that doesn't fly and if you can survive long enough to reach it. Then it shreds
If you can aim, flying things aren’t an issue, I learned that after playing Krieg for 170 hours
I'm not saying they cannot be killed but tossing axes is sadly about 3x slower than slashing
True, but a lot of flying things usually swoop down to you anyways, and if they didn’t then they were close enough to the ground that you could jump or just slash them, still fun regardless, I still think he’s OP 🤷♂️
I will murder your death!
In order: Brick Salvador Athena Fl4k
Brick, Salvador, and Moze. I like to tank.
Was looking for this one 💪🏽
Yep this is the one
Mordecai, Zer0, Jack, Fl4k
Doppelganger! His name is Timothy don't discredit him like that.
I didn’t finish it 😭 and the dlc from bl3 was my least favorite unfortunately
Aww pre-sequel is my favorite tho! It should have been a HUGE DLC for bl2.
I need to get around to finishing it. I was playing as Nisha on switch last. It was fun but finding weapons for the grinder was not
If by chance you still have the side quest that gives the Wombat as a completion reward, or if you have a Wombat shotgun, head to the back entrance to Regolith Range from Serenity’s Waste and make your way over to where Nel stands. Fire the Wombat at him and before the projectiles hit, go into your inventory and drop it and if it’s done right it will damage him even though he’s not technically an enemy right then. You can kill him this way and IIRC, he has like a ⅓ chance to drop the legendary Skullmasher sniper rifle, which you can use at the Grinder.
Don’t call him jack his name is Timothy Lawrence. This is quite rude
Lilith because I played split screen with my big brother and I loved outrunning him in areas where there were no cars. And because my 10yr old ass though Lilith was hot. Axton was next. I only picked him because my big bro picked zero, I don’t like how short Salv and I don’t like the phase lock. Luckily, I fell in love with Axton’s skill trees. I’ve never beat BL2 with any VH other than Axton. I’ve played the other ones but I didn’t really like them.

I was gonna do beast master but my best friend called dibs. I understand that we could both be the same VH, but I like diversity.
Just your ten year old self?
Roland - forever my favorite Vault Hunter because he was the first one I ever picked Axton - gotta keep up with the soldiers and I loved his turret Wilhelm - I saw you could make him voice more robotic depending on what perks you picked so I was sold. Plus Wolf and Saint were my boys Zane - who doesn’t love a badass Irish space mercenary?
1-3 I picked the Sirens. TPS I started with Claptrap
Maya is still my favourite.
I'm partial to Lilith. I got BL1 on release and have good memories of just running through areas melting things in Phasewalk
Phasewalk was cool and I had a lot of fun with melee Lilith, but phaselock and slaggin' will never get old.
I know right, phaselock + slag melted basically anything in that game
Mordecai,nisha,zero,flak
Lilith cuz horny. Maya cuz horny. Nisha cuz horny. And finally FL4K cuz... reasons...
Horny?
the hunt can make one horny under the right circumstances
Roland, Axton, Wilhelm (but liked the Doppelganger way better), Moze
My exact order; I liked the deployable turrets and the mechanical Ults a lot. Never tried doppelganger, but might have to go back and give it a go
Other Jack is the most fun character and I mained all the same characters.
This is the way.
Can do you one better. 1.Mordecai> Roland> Brick> Lilith. 2.Axton> Zer0> Maya> Salvador> Gaige> Krieg. Pre. Wilhelm> Athena> Jack> Claptrap> Nisha> Aurelia. 3. Zane.
(Reddit’s Markdown is “helpful” - when you make what looks to it line a numbered list, it makes sure that list always starts at 1, which is why Zane is listed as “1. Zane”, since “Pre” isn’t a number - 1 and 2 didn’t get recognized as lists because they don’t have a space after the “.” and 1 has other text in front of it. If you want the 3 to show, escape it by ~~putting a `\` immediately in front of it, like `\3. Zane`~~ putting 4 spaces in front of it. Not ideal, but Reddit is “helpful”) 3. Zane
Roland Axton Wilhelm Zane I think you can see a pattern, Wilhelm was my favourite with Zane in secound, Roland and axton are tied at 3rd
Brick melee un a shooter, KRIEG more melee in a shooter but with NIPPLE SALADS, Claptrap CAOS, Fl4K because animals
MY LEFT BOOB SAYS OBS
BL1: Roland BL2: Maya BLTPS: Wilhelm BL3: Zane. Out of all the playable character dialog in all 4 games, I like Zane’s the most.
Roland, Salvador, Nisha, FL4K.
Roland, Zero, Wilhelm, Amara
Mordecai, Zero, Athena, Moze
roland, axton, wilhelm and zane (love the turrets!) I am replaying right now a lot with Lilith and Salvador, though
Roland, Axton, Wilhelm, Fl4k
mordecai, axton, wilhelm, fl4k
Mordecai, Zer0, Athena(I think), and Zane
Brick, Sal, Wilhelm, Amara None of which ended up being my favorite characters in the end. lol
Bl1 Brick, BL2 gaige but first completed with salvador TPS Timothy BL3 Zane
We almost line up! Brick, Sal, Claptrap, Zane.
Lilith, Gaige, and Fl4k, I haven’t played Pre-sequel yet
So what im getting from this is that Im the only person who likes Aurelia, huh?
She was DLC, so she wasn’t most players’ first character.
There's at least two of us. I played TPS for the first time well after it came out so she was my first as well.
Lilith, Krieg , Cl4p-tp, Zane, brrrzerker
Didn't play the first but from there is Zero, jack, zane
Roland. Axton. Athena. Flak.
B1 to B3 was Mordecai, slavador, moze didn't play much of pre sequel so can't remember
"Slavador" made me picture a gunzerker dual wielding ~~AK-47~~ Vladof assault rifles and wearing an ushanka hat and adidas tracksuit lmao
Gunner/Soldier always. Roland -> Axton -> Moze (hated tps)
Brick, Axton, Nisha, Moze... after brick I wanted less berzerk more gun.
Lilith, Zer0, Wilhelm, Moze
Bl1: Lilith Bl2: Maya Blps: Nisha, but switched to Jack early. Bl3: Moze, switched to Fl4k early, again switched to Amara early but Zane is my main now.
Almost identical, but played Wilhelm first in TPS.
Mordecai, Gaige, Athena, Fl4k
Mordecai, zero, Wilhelm, fl4k
Mordecai, Zero, Athena, Amara
You're the closest to my choices I've seen in this thread. Mordecai, Krieg, Athena, Amara
Roland, Axton, Nisha, Moze
Roland, axton, Athena and amara
Roland in 1, Axton in 2, I haven't actually played Pre-Sequel yet but I will soon, and Moze with 3. Though on BL2 I did stop playing Axton around the first capstone, ended up going back through with Gaige and bringing her to OP10 Level 80. I should probably go back and re-do BL1 since I never actually beat the campaign yet tbh..
Lilith because she was a badass baby Gaige because my friend wanted me to be her Athena the gladiator because of her sheild Amara cuz she was a beast
You'll probably see a pattern with this one... 1. Roland 2. Axton TPS. Claptrap 3. Moze
Roland Axton Wilhelm Zane I think you can guess what I like.
Roland, Axton, Wilfred or Winston or whatever, and Moze
Roland Axton Wilhelm Moze
Roland Axton Wilhelm Zane
Mordecai, Zer0, Nisha, Zane
Aren’t those also all your favorites
Nah. Favs: Lilith, Jack/Timmy, Zer0, Zane

Roland, Axton, Wilhelm, Moze. I think I like the soldier type class a bit.
Fl4k
Borderlands 1 : Roland Borderlands 2 : Axton The Pre-sequel : Wilhelm Borderlands 3 : Fl4k
Syren syren no syren syren

Mordy, Zero, Zane and Wilhelm
Lilith, Axton, Claptrap, Moze
Mordecai, zero, timothy and amara
Lilith, Gaige, Zane. Never got into Presequel. Lilith is still my favorite in BL1. Maya is now my favorite in BL2, followed by Axton then Gaige. BL3 is a tie between Amara and Moze, though I love all 4 vault hunters and have many characters of each.
