Vehicles are quite useful in Borderlands 2, so it is no surprise to see creator OB4MA deciding to make this mod. More vehicles mean exactly what it says… more vehicles. There were limitations when picking your vehicles, but this mod enables you to pick between all four existing vehicle families. Wherever there is a Catch-A-Ride terminal, you can choose all your vehicles.

Besides selecting all available vehicles, you can also drive them wherever. A cool feature that frees players from sometimes silly limitations and makes the game playable.

New features include complete gear and manufacturer overhauls, new guns and gear, character overhauls, including complete overhauls for Gaige and Maya, new skins and textures for guns, new and more interesting loot, enemy, and difficulty changes, reduced scaling to use your gear longer and so many more. This mod is a must-install feature to your Borderlands 2 game.

5. Borderlands 2 Third Person Mod

Well, we all know that first-person shooters are first-person shooters for a reason – it is immersive, sometimes difficult since you do not see everything that is going around you properly, and just cool. However, this modder decided to make a mod that enables a third-person perspective. We saw that in the games like Fallout: New Vegas where you have a key-bind that gives you an option to go first person or third person.

Borderlands 2 now have that opportunity too. Definitely check out this mod if you want to experience the game from a third-person perspective.

6. Borderlands 2 Unofficial Community Patch

Bugs and lags are quite troublesome. It ruins player experience massively and just shoos away the players, especially newer ones. A few of our previous mod lists included some kind of Unofficial Patch that fixes most of the bugs and lags Borderlands 2 has with a few cool features that enrich the game greatly.

Besides bug fixes, the mod also includes features like cosmetic changes, unique features, gear changes, skill changes, loot pool & drop changes, enemy changes, and more.

7. Level 72 OP8 All Characters

OP 8 in Borderlands 2 is an acronym for Over Power level 8, which means you can face enemies that are 8 levels higher than you and can use equipment 8 levels higher than your level. The goal of the player is to hit level 72 to get this perk and this modder decided to add this feature to all characters in the game.

Some would say that this mod is more of a cheat mod, but if you want to spice up your game a bit, this is the mod for you.
