LURED BY PANDORA’S VAULT
Planet P andora i s a sparsely populate d wastel and wher e the ru le of la w get s rewrit ten daily in the smoke of the las t gun ba ttle. Civiliza tion consists of smal l out posts on the fringe o f human influ ence, i n an are a called the Borderla nds. Pan dora’s one tou rist attracti on is a mythical Vault pa cked wit h fantas tic rich es, su pposedly stas hed eons ago somewher e on the planet by an ad van ced a lien cul ture.
Fortune hunters, corru pt co rporate mercenar ies and lowlife bandits roam the land scape, searching under every grain of san d for th e treasu re. Si nce most intelli gent life on Pandora has the occupation of Vau lt Hunter, socie ty has gone t o hell—m aking the outposts and outback are as damn dange rous. And with hundred s of tho usands of weapons at their trig ger happ y finger tips, why talk things over whe n machin e gun fire settles disag reements much mo re effec tively?
Think yo u can find th e Va ult? Maybe go it alon e? You bet you’re tou gh en ough... Keep all that loot for you rself. .. Or br ing in a few allies t o watch you r back. Cooperat ion could be vastly profit able, a nd it’s wise n ot to be the only ite m on the menu when a pack of starv ing skags breaks loos e.
You are ready to ris k it all . But whether you’re a S oldier, Hunter, Sir en, or Berserker, the real que st is fr eeing th e for midable powers w ithin yoursel f. Eve ry fi refight makes yo u stronger. Every succ essful m ission pushes your de adly skills t owa rd the n ext leve l. The conquest of the Vault is about to unfo ld and w ith it—your s tory.

any other warranty of merchantability, tness for a particular purpose or non-infringement, and no other representations or
warranties of any kind shall be binding on Licensor. When returning the Software subject to the limited warranty above, please send the original Software only to the Licensor
address specied below and include: your name and return address; a photocopy of your dated sales receipt; and a brief note
describing the defect and the system on which you are running the Software.
