Story
The game takes place a total of 5 years after the events of Borderlands 2. After the Vault Hunters discovered the location of several "Vault Planets" they launched a campaign to find them all and rid the universe of the evils that lie within.

This game takes place on the planet Herculius. You play as a Vault Hunter who hitched a ride to Herculius on the Crimson Raiders' starship: Sanctuary II. Your job is to help them, as in do all the major tasks, in opening the Vault. As it turns out, the task will be more difficult than originally assumed.

The Vault Key is being held by an organization calling themselves the Cult of the Vault, led by a man named Minos. Minos and his followers supposedly worship the Vault and wish to spread their influence throughout the Universe.

Lilith, the Crimson Raiders' commander, suspects otherwise. You've been employed by the former Vault Hunters to put a stop to the Cult's plans.

Vault Hunters
Tina the Demolitionist: Tina assisted the 2nd group of Vault Hunters during the War of Pandora when she was 13. She is now 18 and became a Vault Hunter in order follow in the footsteps of her idol, Roland. She is the most gifted demolitions expert the Raiders could ever ask for. Her strategy involves lots and lots of shooting and high explosive damage. Her Action Skill is called Stinger Blast, where she uses a weapon she built herself known as the Stinger. The Stinger launches a bunch of mini-missiles which each home in on an enemy, trying to equally divide up the damage as much as possible. Though Tina has matured, she is still quite scatterbrained and spouts random nonsense whenever she feels. Her melee weapon is a plank with nails jammed into it.

Corey the Assassin: Corey was a gun-for-hire on the planet Promethea before traveling to Herculius to Vault Hunt. He left Promethea in order to escape the law with his girlfriend, Suzie. Suzie was a dealer of a very specific drug. She called it the Zoom Formula, as it gave the one who took it a temporary speed boost. The duo hoped to make enough money to put them on easy street for life. Unfortunately, the police caught up with them before they could make enough cash. Corey made his way to Herculius while Suzie moved to Eden-5. Corey's strategy involves stealth a precision, getting that perfect critical hit. His action skill is using the Zoom Formula. It temporarily slows down time, allowing the player to get that perfect hit as the enemies move in slow-mo. Corey is a rough-and-tumble kind of guy, with an addiction to the thrill of the kill. He favours Jakobs munitions over all else. His melee weapon is a machete.

Jin the Siren: Jin is a Siren who grew up on Herculius. Her family constantly tried to hide her special power from the general public, as they feared she would be isolated and feared. Jin discovered her ability was to control the minds of others. Her family calls it "Phasecontrol". Jin doesn't always use her powers, but occasionally does in secret to get what she wants. Once in high school, she made her math teacher give her an "A" on a test she most definitely failed. Once her parents found out about this, Jin was in hot water. She got into a heated argument with her father which ended in him being forced to jumps out a nearby window, breaking his back in the process. With that, Jin was forbidden from using her powers ever again. She felt regret for her father, but ran away so she wouldn't be a burden anymore. She eventually started training with firearms, and honing her powers against the local bandits. Her strategy involves mid-range combat and elemental damage. Her Action Skill is her Phasecontrol, which allows her to brainwash a certain amount of enemies to fight for her for a limited amount of time. If an enemy is a boss or mini-boss, they cannot be controlled. They're bound to have susceptible minions, though. Jin is a generally kind soul, but will not hesitate to dish out punishment to those who deserve it. Her melee weapon is a Siren-power enhanced punch.

Prince the Juggernaut: The Vault Hunter formally known as Prince is the son of the rich family of his namesake from Dionysis. Prince was a spoiled boy who had life handed to him on a silver platter. His father was a high-ranking inventor for the Dahl corporation, inventing various weapons and armor. His latest project was a suit known as the Juggernaut Armor: a suit which would render the wearer almost invincible. Prince's favourite hobby was to steal his father's inventions and test them out for himself on the local bandits (under heavy protection, of course.) without the permission of his parents. When Prince turned 22, his parents forced him to make a life of his own, he decided to take their advice... and the Juggernaut suit. He used the suit to make a name for himself as the criminal named after the suit. Eventually, he made his may to Herculius after hearing about the Crimson Raiders and became a Vault Hunter. His strategy involves being a walking tank. Taking hits, and returning the favour tenfold. His Action Skill is known as Juggernaut Mode. In this mode, Prince gets a speed boost and damage reduction for a limited time, as well as increased fire rate, melee damage, and reload speed depending on which skills are invested in. Prince is normally very condescending to his enemies and speaks in a posh accent. His melee weapon enhanced by the Juggernaut suit.

Doris the Techie: Doris is an engineer from Pandora. She originally worked for the Hyperion corporation before leaving to start a solo career. Doris is completely obsessed with robotics and believes that they can solve any problem, as long as a human brain is there to tell them what to do. She used to want to become a robot herself, but that dream ended when that exact thing happened to her old colleague. That sobered her up quite a bit. Anyhow, Doris' most prized invention is her mini fighter plane called Kamikaze. Kamikaze is a tiny flying robot stuffed to the brim with ammo. Doris was originally going to sell Kamikaze's design to Handsome Jack, but then he conquered her hometown of Overlook, which is why she left in the first place. Kamikaze was the only reason she managed to escape and made a home in Sanctuary. She hitched a ride to Herculius when the Crimson Raiders flew there on Sanctuary II. Her strategy involves utilizing technology to enhance her weapons and Kamikaze. Her Action Skill is called Kamikaze Rampage, where she covers herself in an impenetrable shield as the player takes direct control of Kamikaze, who flies around and blows away enemies. Kamikaze can be upgraded to shoot elemental effects, explode upon dying, or do a number of other things via upgrading. Doris is neurotic, but absolutely giddy on the field of battle. Her melee weapon is a monkey wrench.

Eddie the Trainer: Eddie Zaford is a former hunter from Cronus. Despite his work, Eddie greatly enjoyed being around the wildlife of the universe. Eddie travelled the universe to seek out and study every wild creature he could. One day, he came across a lonely Badass Skag in an animal shelter. He asked the people in charge of the establishment, and they told him that the Skag was rescued from a laboratory belonging to the Maliwan corporation. Eddie purchased the Skag and named her Cassie, after his ex-wife. Eddie and Cassie travelled the galaxy together, striking fear into the hearts of enemies and raking in the dough with Ed's prowess and Cassie's brute strength and blossoming powers from the experimentation. Eddie made his way to Herculius because he heard that someone he knew was there. Someone he knew well. He eventually became a Vault Hunter with Cassie backing him. His strategy involves heavy defenses and clever tactics. His Action Skill is called Skag Attack, which is exactly what it implies. Cassie is unleashed upon the enemy hordes to obliterate them all. Eddie loves guns and animals, but like all Zafords, he can't get by without a little booze. He speaks in an Irish accent. His melee weapon is riding crop.
