Borderlands 3 casts in the role of a Vault Hunter. The treasure seeking badass of borderlands 3 from gearbox was officially announced during the gearbox main theatre show. Like previous borderland games, this one is quite different from others as it seeks powerful abilities which violently complement the game and it’s weapons. The borderlands are under great threat as the fanatical Calypso Twins are uniting the bandit clans and attempting to claim the galaxy’s ultimate power, and only you can stop them.
The announcement of the trailer and the game was pretty dense, with the returning of new planets, billion guns, and a breakdown after this year’s Episode 3.
The Borderlands 3 release date is September 13, and the game will release on the Epic Store exclusively until April 2020.
People who are used to playing and have played borderlands earlier, they might remember the badass rankings, as an infinite progression. It doubles down on what we call ‘Guardian Rank’
And not only has the infinite progression but also have skills and different skins which can open as you move forward. Every character you play on, gets the account benefit of guardian rank.
1. Your base is a spaceship
2. Offline play is supported
3. You can hijack enemy vehicles
4. The villains are "like the douchiest kind of live streamers of the future you can possibly imagine"
5. The main quest will take 30 hours "if you beeline it"
6. Moxxi’s Bar returns, along with slot machines
7. There are emotes
8. There's destructible cover
9. There will be cosmetic microtransactions and DLC, but no complex currency system
10. Claptrap is still very loud and very shrill
Borderlands 2 also featured plenty of characters from the first game, so this is part for the course, but it does feel like Gearbox is trying to bring everyone together for some big series climax.
he debut trailer feels a lot like a celebration of Borderlands. It's filled to the brim with familiar faces, including returning Vault Hunters like Lilith, Maya, Brick, Mordecai and Zer0. The latter is hanging out with Rhys, from Tales from the Borderlands, who now sports a funky jacket and a moustache. There's also Tiny (now Regular) Tina, Marcus, Ellie, Sir Hammerlock, Claptrap and a few old enemies, to boot. On stage, Pitchford mentioned Moxxi's back and has a big, very cool bar.
In Borderlands 3 from Gearbox, the Guns are on legs! What a marvellous, terrifying thing. Borderlands 3 will have over a billion guns, presumably with lots of randomly generated properties and surprises. Since looking at a Borderlands gun doesn't really tell you what weird stuff it can do (Does it explode? Shoot acid? Set people on fire), most of the guns will need to remain a mystery, though you can expect loads of elemental damage and explosions. We definitely see a freeze gun and some other fancy toys.
Gearbox has also promised guns that "chase down enemies while hurling verbal insults", which sounds great. There will be guns with "self-propelling bullet shields" we don't know what that means, and guns that shoot volcanoes that then shoot fire.
* A gun you have to start like a lawnmower
* A gun that, when thrown, turns into a bouncy bomb
* A rocket launcher that fires hamburgers
