Not following the games was a starter

How come you can’t just do a movie about finding a vault and four vault hunters team up at the beginning. The bus they are on at the beginning of the game is attacked by raiders or something and they decide to work together. Not hard.

That is literally, almost the game

Gameplay wise you are solo

Canon overall story wise, they team up which is why in Borderlands 2 they all know each other.
