For the uninitiated, Borderlands 2 is a first-person "shooter-looter" in which you journey across a sprawling open world, meeting new people and shooting them in the face with a multitude of different weapons, all while trying to get rich from raiding treasure filled vaults.

The four playable classes – Siren, Commando, Gunzerker and Assassin – each have unique combat styles and updated skills that make use of VR functionality and there are new features planned, including Bad Ass Mega Fun Time, which allows you to slow down time in order to line up the perfect headshot. The menus have been updated to accommodate the use of motion controllers and a headset, providing a "new and intuitive way" to manage your inventory.

There are two movement styles to choose from, the classic system you'll no doubt be familiar with, or pointed teleportation which has became popular in other VR titles.

For the first time in the series, players will be able to drive around in first-person perspective, steering with the joystick and aiming weapons with their headset.

Borderlands 2 VR launches 14 December and those who pre-order will receive a dynamic PlayStation theme featuring the game's four vault hunters.
