''Tiny Tina's Wonderlands'' builds upon the standards set by the ''Borderlands'' franchise that it originated from while also differing in several key aspects. In terms of the characters themselves rather than playing as a specific vault hunter, with their own personality and voice lines, players instead play as a custom made character using the games character creator system. The game features six different [[character class]]es, and for the first time in the series, players can mix and match these skills for their characters.<ref name="release">{{cite web|url=https://www.vg247.com/tiny-tinas-wonderlands-release-date|title=Tiny Tina's Wonderlands set for March 25 release - check out the first look at gameplay|first=Stephanny|last=Nunneley|work=[[VG247]]|date=September 10, 2021|accessdate=September 14, 2021}}</ref> The playable avatars have stats that can be upgraded using "hero points".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/en_asia/features/gaming-features/welcome-to-the-wonderlands-reinventing-the-borderlands-formula-in-tiny-tinas-wonderlands-3043640|title=Welcome to the Wonderlands: reinventing the 'Borderlands' formula in 'Tiny Tina's Wonderlands'|first=Dave|last=Cook|work=[[NME]]|date=September 12, 2021|accessdate=September 14, 2021}}</ref> Players have a large arsenal of weapons and firearms at their disposal, and for the first time in the series, players can wield [[melee weapon]]s. The game features the same [[procedurally generated]] loot system from the ''Borderlands'' series that is capable of generating numerous combinations of weapons and other gear.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.gamesradar.com/tiny-tinas-wonderlands-uses-the-same-weapon-tech-that-put-a-billion-guns-in-borderlands-3/ | title = Tiny Tina's Wonderlands uses the same weapon tech that put a billion guns in Borderlands 3 | first= Ali | last= Jones | date = October 9, 2021 | accessdate = October 9, 2021 | work = [[GamesRadar]] }}</ref> The game also features new types of gear for the players to use to improve their strength. Melee weapons have their own 5th weapon slot to encourage the player to fight up close. Grenades, which have been a franchise staple, have been replaced with a spell slot on a cooldown. Players can cast spells such as summoning meteors, or transforming enemies into sheep.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.pcgamer.com/tiny-tinas-wonderlands-gameplay-trailer/|title=Tiny Tina's Wonderlands has giant crabs, D20s, and land sharks|first=Joseph|last=Knoop|work=[[PC Gamer]]|date=September 9, 2021|accessdate=September 14, 2021}}</ref> Lastly in terms of new equipment are two ring slots, and an amulet slot to further increase the power of the character.
 
After completing the main campaign, players will unlock an infinite dungeon mode known as Chaos Chamber. Each Chaos Chamber consists of six levels and includes two boss characters. The combination of enemies and bosses is randomly selected by the game. After completing each level, they will gain access to a portal which would grant the player additional perks or combat advantages, or "curses" that hinder their combat abilities. Boss characters will drop legendary weapons, and players can also spend crystals to unlock extra loots.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pcgamesn.com/tiny-tinas-wonderlands/chaos-chambers-rewards|title=What are Tiny Tina’sTina's Wonderlands Chaos Chambers?|first=Jason|last=Coles|work=[[PCGamesN]]|date=June 22, 2022|accessdate=August 14, 2022}}</ref>
