Updated Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine to switch locations without relying on a weekly hotfixĭev Note: Maurice’s Black Market Vending Machine has many weeks of new items that will be randomly selected, interspersed between previous weeks’ selections.
Borderlands 3 skin#
Added 3 new ECHO Device Skin customizations to Crazy Earl’s Shop.The loot changes on each boss just as it did during the original True Trials events. Once the mission has started, the switch cannot be used again until the mission has been failed or the Proving Ground map is reloaded. Added a switch to the Proving Ground maps that will enable the True Trials event for playersĭev Note: Be sure to use the switch prior to starting the mission for the trial.Vault Card 3: Bunker Masters has been added to the game for owners of the Director’s Cut add-on.Sidequests are sparing but meaty, and even the really small ones are good too, like the tricky jumping puzzles. Fast travel is expanded, which makes roaming around less tedious. Everything is just more…fun? Vehicles aren’t withheld, but willingly doled out near the start, and you can teleport back to it at any time. Countless guns have alt-fire modes to spice up even the smallest of acquisitions, so the “billions of guns” marketing tagline actually means something now. There are scores of little secrets to find and chests (or fridges or washing machines) to open up. (Why doesn’t every game do this?) All the other details are dialed-up to 11.
Borderlands 3 full#
To sum it up, full color options are available at the start. You can rename your character and alter various facets of them (head, skin, color, emotes, UI theme) to make them your own in a way that wasn’t possible in previous games: I’m getting flashbacks to equipping “chatroom garb” in Diablo 2, trying to make my character look as cool as possible. The customization options also kick ass this time around. As a siren, she has a more vested interest in the narrative. Amara is a high-key powerhouse, and the closest thing to a mage in the Threequel. His penchant for using a clone to take a breather and get right back in the fight is a rush. I dig Zane’s whole vibe and ended up spending the most time with him outside of FL4K, since he can eschew the ability to use grenades to use two skills. Moze’s thing is that she can gain access to a limited-time mech for burst fire, giving her a very different feel than some of the other sustain-based styles of play (it helps that you can build the mech the way you want to). I also dabbled in the stylings of every other character, and there wasn’t one I actively disliked this time (sorry, Brick and Salvador). I dare say FL4K is one of the most fun solo classes in any looter shooter to date. As you progress, your creatures evolve (like Pokémon!) and are persistently out, shooting or clawing up enemies the entire time (until they die, then they respawn on a timer).
Borderlands 3 series#
I spent my first playthrough as FL4K, and as a summoner main (Necromancers and pet-based classes are my thing), it blows any previous series summon archetype out of the water. The planet-hopping hook also slowly builds higher stakes than the series has toyed with before, while still fitting the western space opera theme. There’s a world here and I actually like revisiting it. Claptrap aside (I’m so sorry) it was nice seeing old characters return - some of which haven’t for quite some time - and Borderlands 3 does them justice. The cameos are tasteful and serve the story well, almost more so than the newcomers. On the other side of the coin, at this point Borderlands has a history that’s a decade strong.
Joking about pre-order bonuses also doesn’t work so well when there’s a ton of different versions of Borderlands 3 (including a $250 edition). Much of the humor is still obnoxious (sorry, Claptrap), and although they do quit it with the overabundance of memes, there’s still plenty of “fams” and “succs” thrown around for good measure. The idea of uniting all of the evil bandits under one banner and giving us two hotshot gamer archetypes to hate as the big bads isn’t particularly novel - they even go “what’sssssss up, guys?!” - but it works in the Borderlands universe.
