Sex & Nudity

Mild
22 of 37 found this mild
A character named Ellie has comically large breasts with little cleavage shown. In the DLC "Tiny Tina's Assault On Dragon Keep" however, the player has the option to give her a small metal bikini. If done so, Ellie will put it on and will show off a LOT of her breasts (this's only if you give her the armor.)
A character name Moxxi is known in the community as an attractive character with large breasts and a lot of cleavage.
Enemies infrequently use mildly suggestive language.

Violence & Gore

Severe
17 of 27 found this severe
There's a mission somewhere in the middle of the game that has a character (a psycho) repeatedly insist that the player shoots him in the face and nowhere else, you dont actually do it but it can still be a little disturbing, but however, the game gives the player an achievement afterwards.
This game does feature a bit of blood and gore, but if you turn it off, it becomes like a T Rated Game & very similar to the Tiny Tina game and the 2024 Film.
Level Of Violence 10/10 Pervasive Extreme Bloody Violence And Gore.
There's some blood. (which can be turned off)
Borderlands 2 features violence in which the player kills many enemies over the course of the game with weapons ranging from assault rifles to grenades and rocket launchers. Combat is frenetic, and players are assaulted large waves of alien beasts, insane bandits, robots and soldiers.
Some enemies cry in pain when shot, and living creatures emit a gush of cartoonish blood. It is possible to incinerate and liquefy enemies. Gore can Be Censored in Settings.
Combat is generally not as realistic or impactful as it is in other Mature-rated games, thanks to the game's cel-shaded graphics and generally comedic nature.

Profanity

Moderate
18 of 24 found this moderate
An in-game radio advertisement uses the word "r------d" to describe people who don't buy a certain weapons manufacturer.
The game contains some strong and moderate language that is subtitles, but censored, including the words "s--t," and "a--hole." Fictional coarse language is occasionally used, such as "skaglicker" or "slaggund".
One character uses profanity quite often as part of DLC (not the campaign)

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Mild
18 of 22 found this mild
In one mission, players consume alcohol in a bar, but it's not excessive.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate
15 of 22 found this moderate
A lot more lighthearted than the first game.
The game is all about action packed moments and looting.
The deaths of some characters may be emotional and/or disturbing.
Some enemies, like the axe-wielding, psychos may be threatening.
Players may find the villain menacing.
While there is a lot of violence, the game has A LOT of light and darker humor and never takes itself seriously. The mood becomes darker in the late second and third acts, with the deaths several important characters and the threat of annihilation.
