What is the Max Level Cap in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel?

The current max level in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel is capped at level 70. In order to reach this, you will need to have both “Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Packs” as the base game without these DLCs caps out at LVL 50.

Each “Ultimate Vault Hunter Pack” adds 10 additional levels to the game, increasing the max level from 50 to 60 to 70!

You level up by simply killing enemies and completing missions and challenges.

When you reach the maximum level cap, you won’t gain any experience points (XP) that count towards your character’s level progression. Therefore, you won’t be able to unlock new skill points beyond that point.

You can still increase your Vault Hunter’s abilities by leveling up your Badass Rank by completing challenges.

Can I Max Out My Skill Trees?

You cannot max out all of your Skill Trees in Borderlands the Pre-Sequel. However, once you reach LVL 70, you are able to obtain all 3 Capstone Skills by spending the minimum amount of Skill Points on each Skill Tree.

Are There OP Levels in The Pre-Sequel?

No, Borderlands the Pre-Sequel does not have OP Levels like Borderlands 2 where you could increase the difficulty by unlocking OverPowered levels in Digistruct Peak.

Level Cap History

Borderlands the Pre-Sequel launched with the traditional LVL 50 level cap. The level was raised with the Holodome Onslaught and Claptastic Voyage DLCs as each of them also included a Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack.

With Borderlands 2 the Level Cap Increases were an afterthought and therefore fell outside of its Season Pass. Gearbox Software and 2K Games didn’t want this to be the case with Borderlands the Pre-Sequel and therefore included them with the two campaign add-ons.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a video game developed by 2K Australia with cooperation from Gearbox Software, formally announced on April 9th, 2014 and released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on October 14th, 2014 for America, October 16th, 2014 for Australasia, and October 17th, 2014 for Europe. It was later included alongside Borderlands 2 as part of Borderlands: The Handsome Collection on March 27th, 2015.

Story [ ]

Set at a point between Borderlands and Borderlands 2, four aspiring Vault Hunters fight alongside Handsome Jack, witnessing his transformation into the ruthless tyrant people loved to hate in Borderlands 2, and inadvertently assisting with the rise of the Hyperion Corporation and his position within it.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel begins as Colonel Zarpedon and her Lost Legion assault and capture the Helios space station. Jack proceeds to send his new Vault Hunters to the surface of Elpis, Pandora’s moon, in an effort to find a way to retake the station.

Unlike Borderlands or Borderlands 2, where events take place as they occur, the events of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel are the story told by a captured Athena to an audience of Lilith, Mordecai and Brick, with occasional interjects from other characters as the story progresses.

The signature shoot n’ loot gameplay of the Borderlands series expands with the addition of low-gravity combat and oxygen-powered double-jumping, the icy cryo element, the deadly and varied laser weapon class, and new vehicles to help explore the lunar landscape of Elpis.

    Miscellaneous Features [ ]

    • Badass Rank – Completing challenges increases Badass Rank, and the harder or higher level the challenge is, the more Badass Rank is rewarded upon completion. Earning enough rank awards a Badass Token, redeemable for stat increases that apply to all characters belonging to a profile. Badass ranks are now visible to other players in a co-op game. A Badass Rank of 2500 or higher is required to get the Excalibastard.
    • Character Customization – Skins and heads are available as drops from bosses, certain enemies and as mission or challenge rewards. They feature varying grades of rarity.
    • Grinder – A machine that combines 3 items of the same rarity, conforming to a recipe, to potentially create higher quality items. Moonstones can be added to most Grinder combinations, ensuring the best possible outcome for the items used, including a chance of adding a Luneshine bonus to the created weapon.
    • Inspection – During co-op games, players can inspect one another, bringing up a copy of their friend’s ECHO log to see what items they have equipped, which skills they are specced into, and their Badass Rank rewards.
    • Luneshine – An additional bonus that weapons may possess, with a chance of appearing on weapons contained within Moonstone Treasure Chests or on Moonstone-ground Grinder combinations.
    • Moonstone – Used as a currency for the Black Market, the Grinder, and Moxx-tails, and 40 can be used to unlock Moonstone Treasure Chests for high-quality loot.
    • Moxx-tails – Special drinks that can be bought using Moonstones from Mad Moxxi’s Up Over Bar, granting various substantial buffs that last for 30 minutes.
    • One Point Wonders – “Game changer” skills that can change available options and gameplay styles while only requiring a single skill point investment.
    • Oz Kits – Small, shoulder mounted pieces of equipment that stop Vault Hunters from suffocating when outside of an atmosphere and allow them to perform “double jump” air boosts and “butt-slam” attacks as long as their limited oxygen supply isn’t depleted. Replaces the relic equipment slot from Borderlands 2.
