Too Close For Missiles | Borderlands 2 | As Axton, Walkthrough, No Commentary

Borderlands 2 is a popular first-person shooter with role-playing elements developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. Released in September 2012, it is set in the vibrant, dystopian universe of Pandora, a planet teeming with dangerous wildlife, bandits, and hidden treasures. Known for its distinctive cel-shaded art style and humorous tone, the game combines shooting mechanics with RPG-style character progression, allowing players to choose from four unique Vault Hunters. Their goal is to thwart Handsome Jack, the ruthless CEO of Hyperion, from unlocking an alien vault that could unleash a destructive force called "The Warrior." A notable mission within the game is "Too Close For Missiles," which exemplifies Borderlands 2’s love for pop culture references and humor. Introduced by the character Loggins, a playful nod to Kenny Loggins of "Danger Zone" fame, the mission is a humorous homage to the classic film "Top Gun." Set in The Dust, a rugged area filled with bandits, the mission involves enacting revenge on elite bandit pilots by destroying their volleyball net—an obvious spoof of the iconic beach volleyball scene from the movie. Players must navigate to the Buzzard camp, using vehicles to reach the site, and then infiltrate the camp to gather volleyballs and fuel canisters while battling "Shirtless Men," a humorous reference to the film’s characters. The gameplay emphasizes chaos and comedy, as players set the volleyball net ablaze with incendiary weapons, provoking a chaotic battle with enraged enemies. Throughout the mission, witty dialogue and references, such as Loggins’ repeated lines like "You can be my wingman any time," add to the game's charm. Completing the mission rewards players with experience points and loot, including assault rifles and SMGs, which are vital for character progression. Overall, "Too Close For Missiles" encapsulates Borderlands 2’s signature blend of humor, action, and pop culture, making it a memorable highlight in the game’s expansive and chaotic universe.
