Gravity and Oxygen

Learn how to manage your oxygen meter and utilize low gravity mechanics to your advantage in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Discover refill methods and advanced movement techniques.

Alright, so you're heading to Elpis, Pandora's moon, in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Get ready for some seriously low gravity outside! This means you'll be jumping way higher and farther than you're used to. But here's the catch: you've gotta keep an eye on your oxygen. It's a whole new game mechanic you'll need to master.

You'll see a new meter pop up under your health and shield. When you're out in the vacuum, this thing will start ticking down. Don't let it hit zero! Luckily, there are a few ways to keep it topped up. Sometimes, when you take down enemies, they'll drop little oxygen pickups. Keep an eye out for those!

You'll also find special oxygen vents scattered around. These are like temporary air stations, so use them when you need a quick refill. And then there are these awesome devices that create a dome of breathable atmosphere. Activate one of these pylons, and you'll get a safe zone where your oxygen won't deplete. Super handy when you're exploring or in a tough fight.

Now, here's where it gets fun: oxygen isn't just for breathing. Think of it like a jetpack! You can use a bit of your oxygen to give your regular jump an extra boost, helping you reach those tricky high platforms or clear that nasty lava river. And while you're airborne, if you hit the Crouch button, you'll do a ground slam attack. Pretty cool, right?

One last thing to remember: when you're cruisin' around in a vehicle, your oxygen meter doesn't deplete. So, hop in, explore, and don't sweat the air supply while you're on four wheels!
