You have been warned!
But let’s go a little deeper.
One of the more obvious character cameos isMarcus, the munitions vendor found in practically every Borderlands title.
In the movie, he gives Lilith a ride towards Fyrestone and later appears outsideMarcus' Munitionsin Sanctuary.
The character looked markedly different in the film.
But, first up, a surprise trip toPrometheais where we first find Cate Blanchett’s Lilith.
The neo-futuristic city is home to all sorts of villainy.
It’s also a major location in Borderlands 3.
While there, Lilith mentions she’s bringing in a bounty from a heist on what sounded likeLectra City.
The location was found in Borderlands 3.
Once on Pandora, the film rattles through a handful of iconic locations.
There’sFyrestoneand the first lead to find Tina.
Fittingly, it’s also the first named location players will encounter in the Borderlands franchise.
From there, Lilith then finds Tannis inSanctuary, a sprawling location seen in Borderlands 2.
That also featuresMoxxi’s Bar.

Of course, it’s not Borderlands without things that go boom.
Lilith’s weapon of choice is aVladof Infinity Pistol.
Good luck getting that in-game: it’s only found as a legendary drop in a handful of locations.
Tiny Tina, as to be expected, as her own litany of death-dealing weapons.
Ariana Greenblatt’s foul-mouthed character also pulled out aVladof RPGduring an early showdown with Lilith.
Several weapons manufacturers are also present throughout, including Maliwan, Hyperion, and, of course, Atlas.

And what are weapons without a few targets?
Throughout the movie, there areskags,rakks,and most notably aThresherroaming the wastes.
Rakks are even a delicacy of choice at Sanctuary food stall Rakk’s Snacks.
She can count herself lucky that Crawmerax the Invincible never turned up.

Of course, there are plenty of singular references to the Borderlands games.
You may have had a good chuckle at the return ofClaptrap’s greatest enemy:stairs.
Krieg will “lick your spine clean”, apparently.
There’s also a welcome sight for any weary Vault Hunter: agun vending machine.
Jack Black’s Claptrap tries to flirt with it.
