VaultHunter.EXE is Claptrap's action skill in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

Strategy

Upon activation, VaultHunter.EXE will analyse the current situation, including Claptrap's health, shield, teammate as well as enemy presence, and will bestow a "Action Package" depending on the criteria met. The effects of some Action Packages may extend to nearby allies. More outcomes can be made available by investing in certain skills in the skill tree.

VaultHunter.EXE may occasionally select an Action Package not relating to the current situation, as well as sending a random package if the situation meets multiple Action Packages' criteria at the same time.

Regardless of Action Package type, activating VaultHunter.EXE always instantly fully replenishes health and grants health regeneration in the duration. Any skill that affect teammates will also inform them (with a "You've been Claptrapped!" message as well as the Action Package's name.) along with a duration bar on screen.

The following Action Packages can occur:

Action Package	Unlocked By	Effect
Clap-In-The-Box	Kick Him While He's Down	Claptrap digistructs a large bomb, which will explode after a short delay, dealing heavy Explosive damage to enemies and allies alike. If he doesn't do damage, he enters Fight For Your Life mode.
Gun Wizard	You're... GOING TO LOVE ME!!	Drastically increased fire rate, damage, magazine size, and gives maximum ammo. The effect extends to any allies near Claptrap.
Torgue Fiesta	I Am Rubber, You Are Glue	Claptrap will periodically emit a live grenade in a random direction that can damage both allies and enemies. The effect extends to any allies near Claptrap.
Pirate Ship Mode	Livin' Near The Edge	Claptrap dons a Pirate hat and 4 cannons, allowing him to deal massive damage in this mode. Fires to the tune of the 1812 Overture. Each cannon shot flies in a slight arc and explodes on impact with a fairly large blast radius and high explosive damage. The final three salvos do the most damage.
One Shot Wonder	Tripleclocked	One pull of the trigger unloads all ammo left in the magazine at once and knocks Claptrap back. The effect extends to Claptrap's allies.
Laser Inferno	Rainbow Coolant	A disco ball floats above Claptrap's Head, constantly shooting elemental lasers in Claptrap's vicinity.
Miniontrap	Default	Claptrap throws out a mini-Claptrap turret which shoots rockets, similar to Axton's Sabre Turret.
Meat Unicycle	Default	Claptrap switches to melee, using a Buzz Axe, similar to Krieg's Buzz Axe Rampage. The fire button slashes horizontally, while the aim button slashes vertically. Claptrap also periodically emits a fire nova.
Funzerker	Default	Claptrap creates an exact copy of the gun he's holding, and automatically fires them without stopping, mimicking Salvador's Gunzerking ability. Ammo also regenerates. Teammates also fire their gun endlessly while this ability is active. Reviving teammates is impossible while Funzerking is active.
Mechromagician	Default	Claptrap summons a Punkbot, which attacks enemies in a similar manner to Gaige's Deathtrap. Gun accuracy is reduced, but damage is increased, similar to Gaige's Anarchy. Bullets also bounce off of walls towards enemies similar to her Close Enough skill. These effects extend to the entire team.
Shhhh... Trap!	Default	Claptrap creates a hologram, while going invisible, similar to Zer0's Decepti0n ability. Claptrap is free to attack as many times as he likes without breaking stealth.
Blight Bot	Default	Claptrap summons a mini-Sirentrap, with corrosive-fire wings on its back, which proceeds to attack enemies using incendiary and corrosive damage, similar to Maya's Blight Phoenix skill.
Rubber Ducky	Default	Claptrap and his teammates begin to bounce endlessly while reflecting bullets as well.
Senseless Sacrifice	Default (co-op only)	Claptrap downs himself to revive all other team members that are currently downed.
Medbot	Default (co-op only)	Claptrap gains a healing laser that he can use to restore his team's health.

Trivia

• When using Shhhh... Trap, the line "Hologram Deployed / Invisibility Rocks! / How Many Syllables? is displayed. This is a reference to Zer0 speaking in Haikus in many of his lines and it contains an intentional flaw of a 5 / 7 / 6 syllable pattern whereas typical haiku flow is a 5 / 7 / 5 syllable pattern.
• The repeated fire novas generated while Meat Unicycle is active is intended to emulate the behavior of the legendary Flame of the Firehawk shield, a popular choice among melee-focused Krieg players.
• Unlike Gunzerking, when using Funzerking the game doesn't display crosshair for left-hand weapon.
