Borderlands 2

Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a MultiWorld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Progression Balancing

Custom Goal

As an advanced option, specify the victory condition as any reachable location (can be multiple locations). This option does nothing unless goal is set to "custom". If you specify multiple values, you win once you complete all of them. Please specify valid locations which can be found in archi_defs or archi_data. ex. ["Enemy: W4R-D3N", "Enemy: Hyperius", "Chest LeviathansLair: Lost Lost Treasure"]

Delete Starting Gear

Deletes your character's gear on first connection, avoids granting checks immediately for Skyrocket, Gearbox guns, etc. (Please be careful to back up your saves and load the correct character)

Gear Rarity Receivable Items

Gear Licenses will be added to the item pool as receivable items. (Ex. Uncommon Pistol) You will need to receive the license before being able to equip that kind of gear + rarity combo. disabled = Exclude from Item Pool, ability to equip things is always unlocked. exclude_seraph_plus = Seraph, Pearlescent, and Effervescent are excluded exclude_pearl_plus = Pearlescent and Effervescent are excluded exclude_rainbow = Effervescent is excluded all = All licenses are added to the pool

Filler Gear

What kind of filler gear should be added to the item pool? This option is ignored if "gear" does not appear in filler_item_rotation. unique = Unique items (Legendaries, Seraphs, etc. but as filler) rarity_groups = Common, Uncommon, etc. as filler both = Both unique and non-unique gear

Filler Item Rotation

What items should be added to fill out the rest of the filler item pool. Filler items will be added to the item pool in a round-robin fashion, so any item in this list will be added many times. Include more instances of an item type by including it multiple times. Items will be added in the same ratio as they appear in this list. You can find item names in archi_data.py. Examples of items to use: "RandomCandy", "YellowCandy", "3 Skill Points", "$100", "10 Eridium", "10% Exp", "Filler Gear: Gemstone Pistol", "Filler Gear: Unkempt Harold", "Trap Spawn: Saturn" You can also include "gear" and "sdu" "gear" will cycle through gear based on the choice in filler_gear. "sdu" will cycle through backpack and ammo upgrades up to the vanilla max levels. "3 Skill Points" is handled specially and will stop being added once you can reach 120 skill points. Note: 1 instance of every filler item aside from "Filler Gear" is included regardless of what you put in this list, and "3 Skill Points" is automatically included enough times to reach 27 skill points. Quest rewards are added separately from this rotation list (see quest_reward_items) Trap spawns are added separately from this rotation list (see spawn_traps), but you can add more here if you're crazy.

Remove Locations

Select specific locations to remove from the randomization. Find location names in archi_data.py Differs from exclude_locations in that it actually removes the location, reducing the number of locations for hint cost and not causing issues with accessibility check. If you get accessibility warnings about certain locations, you may want to place those here. ex. remove_locations: ["Enemy: BNK-3R", "Challenge CausticCaverns: Ever Blow Bubbles...?"]

Include Locations

Select specific locations to force them to be included in the generation, even if they are removed by other rules. Find location names in archi_data.py ex. include_locations: ["Symbol WindshearWaste: Claptrap's Closet", "Challenge Loot: Open Pandora's Boxes"]
