Walking around is stupid, right? It certainly is when you’re in an airless environment with only a limited supply of oxygen and a vast assortment of ruffians, robots, and moon monsters gunning for your face. That’s life in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, but it doesn’t always have to be so dangerous. Not when you’ve got a Stingray handy.

2K Australia created two new vehicles for The Pre-Sequel‘s Elpis (that’s Pandora’s moon) adventures, both of which are accessible from Moon Zoomy kiosks (think Scooter’s Catch-A-Ride, except there’s no Scooter). The Moon Buggy is pretty much what you’d expect: a four-wheeled jeep that’s build to roll around on the low-gravity surface of Elpis. You can kit it out as either a Laser Moon Buggy or a Missile Pod Moon Buggy, the latter of which fires clusters of tiny explosives that home in on their targets. It’s a good time.

But why roll when you can float? The Stingray is effectively a hover-ATV. With four repulsors where its tires would be, the zippy little cruiser speeds around the surface of Elpis with little trouble. It doesn’t have a turbo boost like the Moon Buggy does, but it does have the ability to hover higher up in the air using LB (Xbox 360 controller). The hover ability is useful not just for extending airtime during a long jump across a yawning chasm; you can also use it to perform a vehicular slam attack, damaging any nearby enemies.

If that’s not enough offensive firepower, the Stingray is also equipped with a front-facing laser cannon (pew pew!) and either a Flak Cannon or Cryo Rockets as its secondary. As with most other Borderlands vehicles, the Stingray is just as effective a tool for destruction as it is a personal conveyance.

There’s not a whole lot more to it than that. Float around, shoot things, squash the occasional pest with the power of your repulsors, rinse, repeat. Check out the Stingray in action right here…

How to pre-order Dead Island 2: retailers, editions, and bonuses
Dead Island 2.

Some of us out there have been waiting on Dead Island 2 since 2014, when it was first revealed with a cinematic trailer. Little did we know at the time that the game would not only be delayed but that the original developers would leave the project. And then, the second team picking up where they left off would also be removed, and the game would finally land with its final team at Dambuster Studios. There are few games that can survive this long of a development cycle, and even fewer that can somehow still make it to market after passing hands so many times, and yet Dead Island 2 refuses to die.

With its re-reveal at Gamescom 2022, Dead Island 2 was quick to slap a solid release date of February 3, 2023, on the game to build some goodwill and trust among fans who have been waiting for close to a decade already. Not long after, pre-orders were launched, further cementing the fact that, yes, this game is actually coming out. Whether you've been waiting since 2014 or are just hearing about the franchise now, here are all the details on how to pre-order Dead Island 2 and what each edition comes with.

As a result, the company's support page has gone offline while it resolves the issue.
