Is there a way to take a screenshot in Borderlands 2 with a certain shortcut (so i don't have to use third-party software) ?

@fbueckert I wonder if windows technically counts as 3rd party software? – ewanm89 Sep 19 '12 at 22:08

Print Screen works for me in Windows 8 (I assume 7 too) with Full Screen Windowed mode. – Mufasa Sep 20 '12 at 13:41

I'm aware of no in-game, purely first-party mechanism for taking a screenshot.

However (as Kexlox discovered), Borderlands 2 on PC is currently Steam-exclusive. Steam offers screenshot capabilities, in-game by way of the 'P' button when looking at significant items (weapons, shields, grenade mods), and otherwise by way of the 'F12' button.

There are, of course, numerous third-party solutions to the screenshot problem, if you're on PC. Steam, for one. – Christopher Berman Sep 19 '12 at 22:20

I'm not sure if steam is really third-party for borderlands 2, that's sort of debatable, but it does screenshots quite well. – Kexlox Sep 20 '12 at 3:18
Considering Borderlands 2 is not Steam-exclusive on the PC platform, I'd say it definitely counts as third-party. – Christopher Berman Sep 20 '12 at 3:52
I know about the taking screenshots of items while using the "Inspect" option,my question is about taking screenshots in general. – ChrisHateZ Sep 20 '12 at 5:21
Erm,i just went to check screenshots i made using "P" in inspect mode and i noticed i don't have any,can you try taking screenshot with "P" shortcut and let me know did it actually take a screenie? – ChrisHateZ Sep 20 '12 at 6:00
