The train turns out to be a trap set by Handsome Jack, to kill all who search for the Vault. The new group of Vault Hunters in Borderlands 2 are tasked with killing Jack and returning peace to Pandora.īorderlands 2 begins with the protagonists on a train to an unspecified location to begin their search for the vault. Jack has also blotted out much of the light on the planet by having a giant orbiting H-shaped base set in front of Pandora's stationary moon, creating a 'big brother' atmosphere throughout the planet. Set five years after the events of Borderlands, Handsome Jack, the game's main antagonist, has taken over the Hyperion Corporation, declared himself Dictator of Pandora and taken all of the credit for finding The Vault – going so far as to claim responsibility for killing The Destroyer.
