Rating Summary
This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a Vault Hunter engaging in combat missions on the fictional planet of Pandora. As players explore open-world environments, they use pistols, machine guns, rifles, and explosives to kill humans, aliens, and enemy robots. Combat can be frenetic at times and is accompanied by cries of pain and realistic gunfire. Human enemies frequently emit large splashes of blood when hit; some attacks result in depictions of dismemberment. Mission objectives occasionally require players to perform more intense acts of violence: electrocuting an enemy; shooting a man in the face; incinerating cult members. During the course of the game, some dialogue contains sexual references (e.g., “I didn't want my girlfriend to strand me on the moon with no food and a raging ladyboner,” “You sure I can't book you for more, uh, physical services,” and “Bacon is for sycophants and products of incest.”). In some sequences, players can find and collect adult-themed magazines—though no actual nudity is depicted. One mission requires players to consume alcoholic beverages from a bar before they can progress. The words “sh*t,” “p*ssies,” and “a*shole” can be heard in dialogue, in addition to language censored by audible bleeps (e.g., “F**k you in the c**t …”).
