Get ready for more gear and more guns. The shoot 'em up and loot 'em up Borderlands 3 has its first actual campaign DLC coming on December 19th, called Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot. You'll apparently be giving up vault hunting for Ocean's-style casino heists by wrecking Handsome Dead Jack's gaudy gambling den. Gearbox have released gameplay footage of the first 13 minutes of…

Feature: These Legendary weapons are pure gold (literally)
The 138 Borderlands 3 Legendary weapons on offer are, quite literally, spectacular. They're a spectacle. Spectacle-ular. While every other weapon in Borderlands 3 is procedurally generated and extremely variable, the uber-rare gold Legendary weapons have been carefully crafted to offer a completely new (and often very bizarre) experience with each one. But how do you get your hands on them, and which of them could…

Borderlands 3 Zane build guide: 3 best builds for Barrier, Digi-Clone, and SNTNL

Feature: Mech-tacular
Moze the Gunner is the most bombastic lead-spitting character in Borderlands 3, and with her 15-tonne Iron Bear mech never far away, there is a great deal of scope for customising her however you want. In this Borderlands 3 Moze build guide, we've laid out 4 top-tier builds that you can use to get the most out of this mech-wielding super-soldier; one for each of…

Borderlands 3 Amara build guide: 3 best builds for Phasegrasp, Phasecast, and Phaseslam

Gearbox Software's 2016 flop of an FPS Battleborn now has a clear path to its death. Publishers 2K announced plans to shut down the multi-hyphenate hero shooter's servers in January 2021, rendering the game fully unplayable - singleplayer and all. Battleborn's competitive multiplayer side went free-to-play in June 2017 but the game is now barely played. This is not surprising. You can still download it…
Borderlands 3’s upcoming Takedown at Maliwan’s Blacksite is a free end-game raid
Though they never once use the word "raid", I am deploying it to talk about Borderlands 3's upcoming Takedown at Maliwan's Blacksite. It's a new chunk of looter-shootering coming in November, and a free and permanent mission for those who have completed the main game. It's a high-level area with tough enemies and bosses, and bespoke loot to grab. It sounds awfully like a raid…
There's a bit in The Borderlands Show where creative director Paul Sage says he "wants to talk about terror", and for a second it sounds like he's going to launch into a philosophical exploration of fear. The Aristotelian notion of catharsis, perhaps, in which the experience of 'negative' emotion within fiction can cleanse or purify inner emotional trauma. Turns out he actually wants to talk…
Borderlands 3 has nerfed its most powerful Legendaries and fixed up others
Of the one billion potential guns in Borderlands 3, few rise above the level of vendor trash. Some of the Legendary gear rises just a bit too high, Gearbox say, so they've stomped it down a bit and buffed others to reach "an acceptable medium". Which seems a bit of a shame. If Borderlands is a wacky game of reckless silly gunmurder, as Gearbox pretend,…
Borderlands 3 birthday event continues with Eridium flash sales
Borderlands is certainly a more generous ten-year-old than I ever was. While I was off doing laser tag with some nerds, Borderlands 3 is celebrating a decade of existence by giving away heaps of loot, legendaries and cold hard cash on a weekly basis. Show Me The Eridium, the third weekly birthday event, is dropping cash fast and hard. With prices slashed across sharp outfits…

Borderlands 3 weapons cheat sheet – Anointed weapons, elemental damage, manufacturers explained
The Borderlands 3 weapons are utterly insane. Blasting far beyond the standard set by the previous games in the series, Borderlands 3 throws gun after gun after gun at you throughout its lengthy campaign, each with a multitude of attributes and effects that can completely change how the gun is used and how effective it can be in the right hands. There's a lot to…

Borderlands 3 characters & skill trees: who is the best character in Borderlands 3?

With Amara the Siren, FL4K the Beastmaster, Moze the Gunner, and Zane the Operative, you'll have your hands full from the very start of the…
Gearbox Software and their former lawyer, Wade Callender, have called a truce in their salacious public lawfight. The Borderlands 3 studio sued Callender in November 2018, accusing him of not fully repaying a loan and using a business credit card for personal expenses. Callender's January counter-suit shot for the moon. He accused Randy Pitchford of misdeeds including siphoning millions of dollars of bonus money and,…
Borderlands 3 birthday bash blasts off with better boss drops this week
10 years of Borderlands, is it? A whole decade since four cel-shaded bounty hunters hopped off a bus and murdered their way across a planet to the whiny twangs of Cage The Elephant? Blimey, where does the time go? Well before Destiny, Borderlands married Diablo's gear grind with run n' gun blasting in an open-world romp, kicking off a generation of shooting bloody numbers out…
Troy Baker isn’t in Borderlands 3 because Gearbox “wouldn’t go union” [Updated]
Remember Tales From The Borderlands? Quite nice, that. Way back when, Telltale took Gearbox's blockbuster and ditched the rubbish bits (most of the memes, all of the shooting) and made quite a brilliant little story. Now, we all know what happened to Telltale - so it was refreshing news when it appeared at least one Tales character would be returning in Borderlands 3, Troy Baker's…
Duke Nuke 3D composer taking Gearbox, Randy Pitchford, and Valve to court
With a back catalogue including Duke Nukem 3D, Doom, and Wolfenstein 3D, Bobby Prince certainly helped define the sound of much of early 3D shooters. Like most folk, though, I reckon he's also a fan of getting paid for his work. Last week, the musician raised claims that 2016's expanded re-release Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour included his music without asking nicely beforehand.…
