Vehicles were introduced, including a moon buggy, and the 'Stingray'-a type of hoverbike. A new 'Grinder' machine allows players to deposit combinations of existing weapons to receive one of higher rarity. The kits can be used like a jetpack to perform double jumps, hovering, and ground slamming attacks as with other items, different types of O2 kits can provide stat bonuses and affect how ground slams deal damage. O2 kits are added to supply air while in space oxygen supplies can be replenished using generators, vents, and through oxygen tank items dropped by enemies. The game features low-gravity environments, causing players to jump higher but slower, and items such as loot and dead bodies to float away. Enemies that are frozen take increased damage from explosive, melee or critical attacks and are smashed into pieces when killed. Two varieties of items have been added, including laser guns, and items possessing a cryogenic elemental effect, which can be used to slow down and freeze enemies.

Gameplay in The Pre-Sequel is similar to Borderlands 2, but with the addition of new mechanics. The Pre-Sequel received positive reviews, being praised for its new gameplay features and character classes, but was criticized for its confusing level design and not providing enough significant deviations from the core mechanics and gameplay of Borderlands 2. The game expands upon the engine and gameplay of Borderlands 2 and introduced gameplay mechanics, including low-gravity environments, freeze weapons, and oxygen tanks, which are used to navigate and perform ground slamming attacks. The storyline of The Pre-Sequel focuses on Jack, an employee of the Hyperion corporation after the company's Helios space station is captured by a military unit known as the Lost Legion, he leads a group of four Vault Hunters-all of whom were non-playable characters and bosses in previous Borderlands games-on an expedition to re-gain control of Helios, defeat the Lost Legion, and find the hidden vault on Pandora's moon Elpis. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ports were released as part of Borderlands: The Handsome Collection on 24 March 2015. It was released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 14 October 2014.

It is the third game in the Borderlands series, and is set after 2009's Borderlands and before 2012's Borderlands 2.
