* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: In traditional ''Borderlands'' style, the opening cinematic that introduces the Vault Hunters leaves the odd man out. [=Fl4k=] as ''the Beastmaster'', Moze as ''the Gunner'', Amara as ''the Siren'', Zane as '''himselves'''.

** The entirety of [[spoiler: Maya's death]] is one massive Idiot Ball. One, [[spoiler: no one noticing Ava sneaking out of the ship]]. Two, [[spoiler: Ava getting grabbed by Tyreen]]. Three, [[spoiler: Maya COMPLETELY FORGETTING HER POWER TO GRAB THINGS in favour of grabbing Troy barehanded, instead of resolving the entire situation by Phaselocking either of them]]. And finally, [[spoiler: Maya not letting go of Troy and breaking his grip while he's DRAINING HER LIFE OUT]]. This all culminates in one of, if not THE [[spoiler: easiest to avoid death]] in the series.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: At the end Lilith has to phaselock the entire moon Elpis to keep it from crashing into Pandora, she flies up to it and then... Turns into a '''huge''' phoenix like shape stretching across the entire moon. Whether she's KilledOffForReal, AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence, or [[TakeAThirdOption something else]] isn't really explained.]]

* DarkerAndEdgier: The Bounty of Blood DLC is a Western tale of vengeance played as straight as possible with relatively little of the wackiness typical of the series (Aside from the side missions). Even the character intro cards are relatively subdued.

Added DiffLines:

* ResignationsNotAccepted: A brutal example even for the series standards is in ''Bounty of Blood''. Upon becoming a Devil Rider you're tattoed with a core infused ink, which is heavily implied to be very painful, whether you like it or not, and you're once you're a Devil Rider, you're a Devil Rider until you die. They even have dedicated members to hunt down deserters like Ipswitch Dunne, a Devilsaur rider.
