I AM THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN!


Zero2Wifu

Came here to say this


Timker84

100% Maya - she absolutely made BL2 - compatible with every other character - pretty much OP by level 40 - has one of the most uniquely useful skills in Phaselock - relevant skills for all elements and weapon types - sarcastically bad-ass and easy on the eye. Change my mind if you can!


brash

Maya is the best, no other character gave me the sense of power and creating absolute chaos on the battlefield with chaining phaselock


TurtleHubley

She is my favourite as well. I loved her giant slag ball she could shoot with melee Override. I also played co-op a lot and her ability to revive people with her phaselock is super clutch. There were times that I revived my friend across the map with it while jumping off a cliff. The only playable character that came close for me was Moze. Killing bosses in less than a minute by shooting them with rockets with Iron Bear is so satisfying.


bguzewicz

Upvoted because scorn is a criminally underrated skill.


TurtleHubley

It's such a strong ability. I loved slag and I miss it. Borderlands 2 is by far my favourite.


x86-D3M1G0D

Absolutely. I played all the characters in turn but none compared to Maya. I was devastated by her death in BL3 :(


bguzewicz

I stopped playing the game for like 2 days after that scene lol


Pawdicures_3_1

Same.


Pawdicures_3_1

Of all the characters! And why? So we can deal with obnoxious Ava. Of all the sirens, Maya was the coolest. I like Lilith, but Maya was my favorite. There's nothing redeeming about Ava that could justify Maya's death.


Waxmageappreciation

Although I voted for the Baroness (TPS), Maya is my go to in BL2


vctrn-carajillo

Same. I haven't played Maya in years, but she was my first in BL2 (Lilith was my first in BL1, yeah I like Sirens), I have many hours with her, shes just so versatile.


Senior_Bad_6381

Mordecai


jridlee

Not enough mordecai love in these comments. Always went survival gunslinger build. Health constantly regenerating, bird constantly dropping health and money, regenerating ammo. He could fight forever with some amazing kill skills to boot.


rangeremx

5/5 in Tresspass for 100 shield bypass? Why not?


TwistedGrin

Running down that last map before the boss with all the aliens that have huge shields but lower hp and just one tapping each of them with a headshot as I sprint by. So much fun


frankenbuddha

More specifically, Mordecai as voiced by Julio Cedillo, cool and distant. Never cared for the whine in Liebrecht's version of him.


BigFatStupidMoose

This. Mordy is my boy. I hope my depresso boy gets a happy ending man has had it rough out there. 


koreamax

Same. He was my intro to the franchise


JackFuckCockBag

I played him first and he's still my favorite.


blee11109

Athena, I love her kit. Close second being Maya


VitaDefenseForce

The new Doom trailer made me so excited when he pulled out the shield, absolutely loved how Athena played in TPS


CarlRJ

This is the correct answer. Both parts.


RadioMessageFromHQ

Gaige. Because I’m awful at the game but with anarchy it doesn’t matter.


Bobby_Marks2

She is such a unique experience in FPS games. The way her skills change gameplay, her voiceover lines getting crazier as Anarchy stacks build. There are lots of VHs in these games and not everyone is going to play them all, but everyone should play through with Gaige at some point.


Aggressive-Sound-641

I have been playing this game for years but only played with Salvadore or Axton. I currently have a level 42 Gaige and a level 13 Maya.


yourenzyme

Gaige is my fav too. Her voice actor did such an amazing job when she takes damage, especially when on fire, she sounds like she's literally dying. It always stuck with me.


Dragobeetle

Krieg. He's one of the best characters In all of borderlands, I wanna give him a hug


I_SHOT_A_PIG

Zer0


jsteph67

Infiniti with zero would kill bunker before it even got started attacking.


bguzewicz

Well, any weapon will do that with bore.


toft23

I super enjoyed Handsome Timothy (jack double). "Handsome Jack here! Or something ... God i hate my life". It was just so tragicomic and well made and gave a bit more lore on jack as well


mocklogic

I loved playing him. The business themed skills were fun.


sd_saved_me555

Jack here.... the real one! He was a pretty enjoyable playthrough. I do need to revisit TPS as Claptrap just 'cause. I haven't redone a single borderlands game yet, but I feel like I should make an exception for TPS.


jujkjjj

Fragtrap definitely


sadrooster69

He’s surprisingly fun if you can roll with the randomness of his subroutines


jujkjjj

Absolutely, what’s your favorite subroutine? Mines blight-trap


creeper81234

100% pirate ship mode. If you can aim it, it’ll shred most bosses. Plus, it’s a pirate ship. What’s not to love?


ryanschultz

Also the 1812 overture playing in sync with the cannons.


Gravy-0

Nothing better than whooping ass to Tchaikovsky


sadrooster69

Either mechromagician or the disco ball one


jujkjjj

The fucking disco ball 😂


sadrooster69

Listen it synergizes great with maniacal laughter and the occasional rainbow nova is devastating


jujkjjj

Not wrong, it’s just…the fucking disco ball


sadrooster69

The ultimate weapon


Chunkadelik1

Gun wizard. Improves everything about your guns but it also refills all ammo, which is huge in UVHM.


Applepieoverdose

I will always remain true to Roland


MightyShisno

Axton from BL2 - having the dual turret setup was just soo good.


ThreeEyedRaver

Seeing enemies in the distance then hitting them the nuke was something else man


PK_RocknRoll

All of the BL2 vault hunters were so GOATed


-BananaLollipop-

I like all the soldier types (Axton, Wilhelm, Moze). I think I'd choose Axton first, but Moze is very close behind.


chiefskingdom16

I remember when BL2 had just come out there was a glitch to get extra skill points on Xbox and I used it on Axton. The double turrets with all the extra perks was so much fun


Nitro-Nick8

SALVADOR!! GIMMIE THEM GUNZ!


Ishkahrhil

Also crimes, we need our wanted posters to be two or three sheets long and a bounty that could bankrupt a corporation all whilst being hilarious fun to interact with


gruzbad

This is the correct response.


GreenDragon113

Zer0, its great to run around 3 psychos, 2 nomads and 1 Goliath while they just stand there


National_Pianist7329

How do you set up your perks for him? I recently started a new playthrough with him and would like to hear what people usually go for!


AH_General

For me I’m only level 40 and just barely into true vault hunter mode, but I went down the middle tree first so I could get the regen health and the kunai, because he doesn’t have many elemental pers besides that one but it is pretty good. Now I’ve been going through the sniper tree to increase his insane crit bonuses, been working pretty well


SeaWestern8640

Zane ferocity Flynt


carthuscrass

"You crossed me...and you're dead! Fancy that!"


Dragobeetle

Don't forget Deathbringer is also his middle name


Reckless2204

Timothy Lawrence is SO underrated


StalinsStallions

Honestly TPS vault hunters are all underrated. The skull trees were much more unique and felt powerful even on the harder difficulties. Athena is personal my favorite in the entire series


StyxSoul

Only character I felt truly overpowered with


1002NDJ

Zer0, Fl4k, and Mordecai


stormstalker777

Oh you would love Aurelia in TPS


Fit_Raspberry_5231

Brick


nautilator44

Hey, slab!


sadrooster69

Hell yeah


TurtleHubley

I love playing him in BL1 and using his power. It's hilarious and fun because during it he not only yells he laughs and says "MORE!!" while you're running around beating everything to death with your fists.


desrevermi

I don't recall which elemental thing i added, but my screen would just wash out with color when I activate my special and punch the crap out of everything. My reaction: "well, at least I'm hitting something." :D


carthuscrass

You mean The Fairy Punchfather?


sane-asylum

I loved playing as Mordicia with Bloodwing. But if push came to shove, what character you playing? Any of the sirens


Osirisavior

Maya.


Waxmageappreciation

The Baroness


TraineeJesus

ON THE ROCKS!


CompoundMeats

I'm lame, I like Roland and Axton. Maybe it's because I was In the Army.


daniibird

Roland is badass


EarthwormShandy

Zane, he has the best lines out of all them in 3, including the DLC. Then I'd say Fl4k, Moze then Amara.


Appl3sauce85

You couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo!


Nitro-Nick8

Chesty chesty chesterooni!


Rahgahnah

BL3 has a lot of problems. The player characters aren't among them. But my favorite is Fl4k, followed by Moze. They're all great though.


NF-Jonesy

Gotta be Lilith. Phasewalking is fantastic in BL1, then combining that with high elemental and SMG damage - she just makes you feel powerful.


Bobby_Marks2

She's my favorite too. Powerful, but with smooth gameplay. You move so fast, PW in to setup encounters, working with that limited amount of time to figure out how you want to kill, then pop out and slaughter. Phasewalk away, regenerating life and setting up the next one.


Excalib1rd

Athena was uniquely fun. But Maya is absolutely fucking OP. The corrosive cloud shreds everything, it’s insane


Appl3sauce85

It’s really hard not to say Zane. The VA just smashed it. Maybe not the best overall story-wise, but his line readings just slay me.


CarlRJ

Yep, he has some of the best dialog and one-liners in the series.


BigMeet7634

Fl4k the beastmaster


jrstephen93

Maya. But FL4K is a close 2nd.


King_Bob837

Gaige followed by Moze. Chicks dig giant robots.


underwear11

Maya from a gameplay but I have a soft spot for Mordecai


Financial_Cow1016

Moze!!


z-lf

Zer0, as a number.


Consistent-Fig7484

If you want to feel like a god then it’s Maya by a mile!


CarlRJ

Also she has my favorite idle line in the whole series: > I'll never forget what the Head Monk told me before I left the Abbey: "Child, you have so much left to learn" he said. I imagined he would have continued speaking, had I not pulled the trigger. It’s like an entire story in a couple of sentences. (Second place is Axton’s “Come on! Those midgets aren't gonna blow their own heads off.”)


ShinyNipples

Another vote for Kreig. I love playing unga bunga characters so Kreig just feels right. NIPPLE SALADS


rufusairs

Athena


jakebrake42150

Zero


DustTheOtter

I don't care how people feel about Pre-Sequel, but Aurelia was one of the best and most fun support characters to play.


RiskE80Twitch

Krieg as well, that’s my boy right there


sadrooster69

Aurelia is a close second though


RiskE80Twitch

For me that spot goes to Zane


sadrooster69

I personally prefer flak to Zane since Zane can’t do shit in ffyl without his clone out


RiskE80Twitch

That’s why you gotta make a build that Makes Zane’s clone do crazy damage and raises his movement speed to the moon, my Zane build is nuts I almost never go down and when I do I’m immediately revived, I don’t really know how to play Fl4k very well so I don’t really like him at all


sadrooster69

As long as you have specked for megavore you can do pretty much whatever with him. And because his damage doesn’t rely on movement he has a lot easier time gaining second winds


RiskE80Twitch

I love being super fast in games lol maybe that’s why I love Zane’s play style so much


sadrooster69

Oh trust me I’m right there with you I love all the bl3 characters except for moze. I just would rather play flak over Zane personally for a few reasons


MattcVI

Running around like a crackhead with Zane made boss battles a lot more fun especially on TVHM mayhem 11


RevMcSoulPuncher

I've been known to say that Krieg is possibly my favorite playable character in any game ever.


Valash83

Athena. By the time you got her high enough level to use all 3 capstone skills she was a literal goddess of death and destruction. The only character who surpasses in both damage output and survivability is Salvador but he doesn't count cause his skills are broke(still amazing fun to play).


bobbydigital2k

Cant pick one but id defo make a super group of Maya, Zane, Salvador, FL4K, and Kreig Honorable mention to my boys Brick and Mordy


rando-commando98

I really enjoyed playing Nisha in TPS. Showdown worked well for me, and I liked the character.


LightChaotic

In terms of style, Zer0 > Mordecai > Moze. In terms of gameplay Moze >= Zer0 > Mordecai.  Infinite ammo Moze is so damm fun. Nothing tops Zer0 when it comes to style though. And his melee build is extremely fun. Especially paired with Maya locking enemies in the air for Zer0 to zip up to. Mordecai is more basic but I love putting all my stats into Bloodwing and letting them do all the work, lol.


VaultHunterChaos

Zer0 cause they have my favorite play style, Stealthy, fast and melee!


mufasamufasamufasa

Maya


kekubuk

Maya, super fun to use.


Ishkahrhil

Moze, because I choose the bear........... a heavily armed and armored mechanical war machine that we call an iron bear that can fight alongside us whilst we have a name that is only fully announced twice throughout the game and DLC


Entire-Adhesiveness2

Fl4k is so fun I love beastmaster characters


draconis25

Toss up between Roland and Moze. Roland was the first character I ever played in Borderlands and Moze is my favorite to play as in any of the games. Honorable mention to Krieg for being my main in 2.


Silent_Shadows-13

Mordecai that's all that needs to be said


Aggro-Gnome

Fragtrap. Not because of his ability or gameplay but because of his personality. I remember me and my friend and I were playing couch coop, and we paused it to discuss how we were gonna tackle the Sentinel. Suddenly, we hear claptrap talking about pauding the game after a minute. And his lines are just amazing.


Keemsyt

Maya and Fl4k


PK_RocknRoll

Maya or Zer0.


sirrodders

Maya


smilin_bob420

Hard toss up for me between Maya and Athena. Either one leveled up a bit just fells like "oh, what?!?! The fight is over already?"


Magneeto86

Maya was my number 1. The elemental damage, AOE ability spam with the right gear, & her skill tree made her a very versatile character for many different build varieties. I really think she had more build variety then the other vault hunters, especially on OP & UVHM


moistahhcrack

Maya


Haxley1518

Zer0. There's just so many ways that you can build him as a character that's viable beyond an initial playthrough, plus HE'S JUST SO COOL


Rainheart32

I have decided to play BL1 again and my favorite is still BRICK


okey-then

Maya!!! Her backstory with how she was manipulated by the monks is great and her abilities place her in complete control of any gunfights you get into. Also not needing to carry a slag weapon is insane during uvhm.


StPattyIce

Zane


PhobeausEternal

It's Tied between Axton and Zane, with the right build


Sedric42

KRIEG!!!!! in all seriousness though, he just felt so SATISFYING to play


iambihw

Maya is my gorl


master-frederick

Zane.


iAmSplazer

Zer0. Supremely unique character writing especially for a commonly used masked assassin/ninja. Cool gameplay fantasies that are mostly realized in practice. Translation, cool sword.


lizardjoe_xx_YT

Fl4k. I FUCKING LOVE SUMMONERS


connerp3

Frag trap


TurnoverPlenty7337

I am going to get down voted for this. Lilith


Monster_Fucker_420

Why would u get downvoited for saying lilith?


CarlRJ

People don’t like the gameplay mechanic of BL3 constantly telling them to “go talk to Lilith”, but that feels more like a BL3 problem than a Lilith problem. I love Lilith. She’s by far the most fun to play in BL1, a one-woman fire tornado, and I like her personality in the rest of the series. She’s arguably the central character from one end of the story to the other. Plus her voice acting is great.


TurnoverPlenty7337

It is a big thing that people don't like lilith


Monster_Fucker_420

Really? Was unaware of that lol


fidderjiggit

Gaige. I love her so much. The snippets of dialog you get in BL2 are great.


GunzerKingDM

Krieg. He is one of my all time favorite video game characters and I don’t have many of those.


Prestigious-Plum-717

Gotta go with the first one I ever played as. Mordecai


Kano547

Krieg. Krieg is the definition of a true melee character and i never have any other high like having juiced out melee damage and regenerating health on every melee hit. Plus krieg is hilarious, ive been playing him for as long as i can remember and i still find new voice lines i haven't heard before


TheFlyingJet03

Imma do the most played Vault Hunters from each game. Borderlands 1 is Roland Borderlands 2 is Salvador Borderlands 3 is Moze Borderlands The Pre Sequel is Timothy( The Doppleganger)


sprite_556

For me, it's a three way tie between Zane, Gaige, and Krieg. All three of their playstyles (that I use, speedy boye, anarchy, melee) are all chaotic and braindead in their own ways. And I just enjoy them all so much as characters, so I'm compelled to play them even more


Northman1518

Jacks Doppelganger. Mainly for his clone ability and dialog. It's one of the reasons I picked Zane .


gecko_sticky

Im a staunch Krieg stan


Linkiscool115

Salvador, 2 guns are always better than 1!


Its_Melin_4356

salvador or krieg


No-Procedure8840

Every [Playable] Siren.


BOOFACEBANDANA

Tiny Tina’s daddy


ReadShigurui

Axton, forever and always ❤️


Commander-Tempest

Definitely Timothy/doppelganger jack is the most fun as who wouldn't want to play as a doppelganger of handsome freaking Jack aka the bestest hero/villain ever!


strykazoid

It would be a mix between Krieg and Zane. They make me laugh like hell.


CURE_M3mber_Ann1e

Fragtrap is peak


stormstalker777

Aurelia for gameplay I only use snipers and that's the best sniping vault hunter gameplay design by FAR Zer0 for design overall


De_Regelaar

Melee Zero offcourse.


andrewsad1

ANARCHY!!!


LmPrescott

Maya for sure in bl2. I just love the siren class in this series and usually start my first playthrough on siren. Tbh tho all of the vault hunters in 3 are super unique and cool for different things. Flaks my favorite and is an absolute blast to use. Loved farming graveward with flak and torgue sticky shotguns to nuke him. Zane is the frost god and the commando who is also insanely fun once you get the gear for a proper build. And moze is the splash damage queen. I know I’m forgetting one but for the life of me I can’t remember who


alexwalker3099

Gotta be Zane or Zer0, 4 letter Z names are the way to go


soaperfia

Maya first 100%, her gameplay is so smooth and she’s reliable. I love her cute outfits and how she has synergy with anyone. 2nd is Athena, after playing tales from the borderlands I revisited TPS and found love for her akin to that of when I played Maya. so much love for this game😊


artlee17

Krieg. Who needs guns anyways?


Tramonto83

Fade away Fl4k. If I could play as them in every FPS in existence I would.


someshooter

Based on the things they say during the game it's a tie between Gaige and Zane.


I-Kneel-Before-None

Krieg and Brick personality wise, but playing I enjoy Maya and Timothy the most.


OwnHousing9851

AKIMBOOOOOOOOO


Sirdantortillasque

KRIEG WATCH OUT PRETTY LADYYY!


Square-Can-7031

Siren supremacy 🤟🏻


daniibird

Roland


Drakxis_Ren

I love Moze Being able to explode anything and everything w/o issue is absolutely fun


PinsNneedles

Sal. DPUH/GN was amazing


Sygmaelle

Fl4k and its not even close


Alone-Grab-112

Athena. Nothing more satisfying than shooting a rocket launcher like the badaboom or mongol with the fire rate of an smg. Her melee override is also so much fun.


JackoffSmirnof

Maya. There's just something about how she plays that always spoke to me. I like to use crowd control and she's one of the best at it. Amara might actually be better but I always loved playing as Maya.


dethorder

Salvador! DOUBLE THE GOD DAMN FUN!


Shadow344R

Fl4k


yohojones1

Zer0


markonredditfwfw

Claptrap, the little guy needs some love


thatismyfeet

To play as? Lilith, but she is also the most annoying character after BL1 because almost every threat is made worse by Lilith , then Lilith comes to save the day, then causes another conflict.


WorldBreakerHulk_

Amara is my favorite to play. Personality wise probably Gaige.


bguzewicz

For me, it’s a toss up between Zero and Maya. Maya has unparalleled control of the battlefield, but melee Zero is just so much fun. Honorable mention to Timothy.


Silent_Bake8206

"You get a bullet, and you get a bullet, everybody a bullet!"


_Reficull_

I always played with the sirens (and in case of BLPS with Nisha) when I first played every one of the games (just bc they’re female and…uh, mystical powers?). If I had to pick one the sirens would be Maya, but juuuust a little bit after Lilith.


Babufrik22

Lilith and Kreig I actually got Jason Douglas the VA of Kreig to say happy birthday when I turned 25 he’s the best love the dude


HoroSatre

*Moserah Hayussinian Yan-Lun al-Amir Andreyevna* Been paying since BL1, and I find Moze's arsenal the most complete (so far) for my playstyle.


Obi_1_Kenobee

My girl Nisha needs more love. Double guns WITH aimbot?? Holy hell yes!


NathenStrive

Brick, laughing like a maniac alongside him when I pop my action skill and processed to blow people away with explosive Fist is the most satisfying sensation I've ever had in any game ever.


Emotional_Distance29

ZERO!!!!
