Best Borderlands Psycho Halloween Costume Guide

Psychos characters appearing in the first-person shooter game, Borderlands, created by Gearbox Software. These bandits have gone a little loopy and are now dangerous fighters.

They have a hunger for combat and hate being away from the action for too long.

Psychos are quick runners, and melee ranged attackers. They tend to use a buzz axe in close proximity to cause heavy damage to their enemies. Even at further distances, Psychos can throw their axe to defeat enemies. They can also disable a shield and can take down others in just one or two hits. Get the look of these insane bandits with this Borderlands Psycho costume guide. To match the unnerving look of Psychos, you will need Orange Cargo Pants, Psycho Buzz Axe, Knife Sheath, Brown Leather Gloves, Psycho Mask, Stage Blood, Brown Belt, Bandage Wrap Rolls, Knee Pads and, Work Boots.

Not much is known about what happened at Headstone Mine, except that a Vault key fragment was discovered. The fragment was given to a creature named Sledge who later organized a small group of bandits to guard the mine. Something happened while the mines were being guarded that caused the workers to become crazy. The bandits physically mutated and started losing their minds to Pandora.

There were two distinct ways in which the bodies mutated. Some became big and muscular shapes of humans while others mutated into smaller dwarf-sized forms. Their obsession with the Vault and the Vault key led to them creating a mask that had an upside-down V. Some psychos have changed forms even further which lead to the Burning Psychos and Badass Psychos. The Burning Psychos will set themselves on fire and rush at their enemies, while the Badass Psycho is a bigger, stronger form than the others.

About Borderlands Psycho

The backstory to Borderlands takes place on a planet called Pandora. Made by Eridians, Pandora has an unpredictable climate. Not everything on the planet has been discovered, and many species that remain unnamed.

There’s an old mine on the planet named Headstone Mine where the Psychos fate takes place. Some things were covered up, but a fragment for a Vault key remains. A group of bandits was instructed to look after the site for a man named Sledge. The bandits quickly fell prey to the effects of the mine. Many mutated and started losing their minds, becoming overly obsessed with the Vault. The Vault is said to contain alien technology, but no one is quite sure what it contains. The Psychos now protect their base with a maniacal and psychopathic way of thinking, longing to taste the blood of perceived enemies.
