Get your first look at the new campaign add-on and Takedown coming to Borderlands 3 this summer, plus a sneak peek at DLC 4.



The first-ever at-home episode of The Borderlands Show is in the books, bringing you world-first looks at two giant chunks of content coming soon to Borderlands 3. First up is Takedown at the Guardian Breach, another endgame gauntlet that'll put your skills and gear to the ultimate test when it arrives as a free addition to the base game on June 4. Then, a few short weeks later on June 25, you'll get to embark on a wild new adventure in Bounty of Blood: A Fistful of Redemption, Borderlands 3's third paid campaign add-on that pits you against a gang of beast-riding outlaws on the frontier planet of Gehenna.

Regular hosts Greg Miller and Fran Mirabella were once again joined by Borderlands Stream Team member MitsuShow, as all three shared their hands-on experience with Takedown at the Guardian Breach. Just like Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite, this new Takedown will be an extreme challenge that scales to the number of players in your party, but is meant to push a full party of four Vault Hunters to the limit. Besides new enemies to contend with, this Takedown will feature tricky puzzles and low-gravity platforming sections to test your wits and hops when you're not blitzing a path through baddies.



For this Takedown, Tannis wants to send you on a reconnaissance trip to the planet of Minos Prime so you can track down the source of a mysterious Guardian signal. Upon arrival, you'll be besieged by a sect of rogue Guardians who have split off from their brethren and have irrevocably transformed Minos Prime. Along with hordes of new enemies, you'll have to overcome a miniboss and a final boss encounter, similar to the structure of the first Takedown. Should you survive, you'll be rewarded for your heroic efforts with a host of new item drops, including themed weapons, gear, and collectible cosmetics.

Next, the gang chatted with Gearbox's Matt Cox, Creative Director on Bounty of Blood: A Fistful of Redemption. As with the previous two campaign add-ons, Moxxi's Heist of The Handsome Jackpot and Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock, Bounty of Blood will feature an all-new setting for all manner of shooting-and-looting mayhem. But unlike those adventures, your Vault Hunter will be interacting with a cast of characters you've never crossed paths with before, all as part of a story being shared by an unseen narrator.



You'll travel to the harsh desert planet of Gehenna to claim a bounty on The Devil Riders, a vicious gang of bandits mounted atop fearsome beasts. The Devil Riders have been terrorizing the small town of Vestige, and you'll have to team up with the locals if you want any hope of administering some frontier justice. Along the way, you'll run into fresh faces like Rose, a warrior who's adept with pistol and katana alike, and Juno, a rough-and-tumble brawler with a checkered past. Your actions will have a direct impact on Vestige and its denizens, as you help build the town back up through story missions and Crew Challenges alike. As you do your part to restore order to Gehenna, the narrator will chime in to provide commentary on the action, or just give a bit of insight into some characters' innermost thoughts.

Bounty of Blood will also boast a bevy of new game mechanics to complement its story, like the customizable Jetbeast hoverbike that'll help you traverse the open plains of Gehenna in a hurry. "Every Western needs its horse," says Matt. "For the Vault Hunter, it's the Jetbeast, which is half jetbike, and half creature," and can be outfitted with artillery like dual machine guns or mortar weapons. There's also a slew of interactable objects found only on Gehenna that will aid you in combat and exploration. For instance, the Traitorweed can temporarily turn enemies into allies, while the Breezebloom will lift your Vault Hunter to great heights so you can reach otherwise-out-of-reach areas. And of course, there'll be loads of new loot to chase after, including plenty of Western-themed weaponry.



Alongside those big announcements, Matt also shared a piece of concept art for the fourth campaign add-on; we'll let the psycho-delic imagery speak for itself. You'll hear more about the fourth campaign add-on later on—but for now, get ready for Takedown at the Guardian Breach coming June 4 and Bounty of Blood: A Fistful of Redemption launching June 25.

As always, The Borderlands Show also delivered another SHiFT code for some precious Golden Keys. Make sure to redeem this SHiFT code here on Borderlands.com, on the Gearbox SHiFT site, or via the in-game Social menu in Borderlands 3 before it deactivates on June 4, 2020 at 11:59 PM PDT.

Today we will release a hotfix for Borderlands 3, which will be live on all platforms by 12:00 PM PST. This week’s hotfixes change Rare Spawns in the Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock campaign add-on and address a reported concern about world drops in Mayhem Mode. To apply hotfixes, wait at the main menu until you see a sign that says “Hotfixes Applied”!

You'll get an in-depth look at this new adventure during The Borderlands Show Episode 7, premiering Thursday, May 21 at 8:00 AM PT.

An update on Mayhem Mode and quality-of-life improvements coming to [/u]Borderlands 3.

On April 30, we released an update to Mayhem Mode in Borderlands 3. Since then, we've received a ton of feedback about the changes made in that patch. We want to give the greater community an idea of how we will be addressing the community concerns we’ve seen thus far.

Our intention for Mayhem 2.0 was to provide a significant difficulty for those looking to create and test their most powerful Vault Hunter builds, while also providing everyone a more engaging, dynamic, and fun end game. Players experience Mayhem Levels as a slider so they can move up and down between difficulties. Also, by incorporating the combinations of modifiers, you can find the level you enjoy most. Did you get that perfect roll on a piece of gear? Then move the slider up and put your new gear to the test! Or, do you need a night off and just want to blow stuff up? Move the slider down and enjoy the Mayhem! That said, we built Mayhem 2.0 with longevity in mind. We don’t expect everyone to slip into Mayhem 10 immediately. As we introduce more content, levels, and gear into the game, more people might find themselves comfortable at that level over time.

Concerns over Mayhem difficulty, gear balancing, scaled damage sources, and build diversity are among the concerns we've heard most often. We’ll address these and more over two phases and roll them out with the next two patches. This is to ensure that the changes match our expectations in testing before you experience them.

There are always unforeseen challenges when working on patches and hotfixes, so we will keep players posted on more concrete release timings as these updates continue to progress. Here's a look at some of the things we’ll implement.

Phase 1 focuses on the feedback we received about Mayhem Level stat scaling and gear changes. We’ll make these changes at the same time to complement each other.

With the upcoming Guardian-themed Takedown, we will lower the health, armor, and shield stat bonuses that enemies receive in the higher levels of Mayhem. We’ll also adjust over- and underperforming gear, so that more gear is viable and balanced with the new lowered stat bonuses found in Mayhem Levels 7 and above. Certain underperforming Anointments will also see a buff with this change.

This phase will also introduce a way to see which Mayhem Level your weapons and gear came from. In the item card, you’ll see a line that reads “Mayhem Level” and the corresponding number for the Mayhem Level where it dropped. You’ll see this text in the same area where Anointment descriptions are.

Phase 2 focuses on feedback concerning character balance and build diversity. The goal of this phase is to give players the ability to create viable builds using their Vault Hunter's signature Action Skills that simply didn't deliver enough power in the past. We are building a foundation from which the community can create new builds centered around gear or Action Skills.

In this phase, we will scale non-weapon sources of damage with Mayhem Levels. This will scale Action Skill damage (including pets and Iron Bear), Melee/Slam/Slide Damage, and Vehicle Damage. Grenade Mods will now also drop as pieces of Mayhem Gear and have bonus damage for each level of Mayhem, just like Mayhem Weapons.

To give your Action Skills a bigger boost, we also will add Skill Damage to Class Mods in this phase. These Class Mods will introduce powerful bonuses to Action Skills that will help with new builds and achieve the goal of letting you choose how you want to play your characters. We know the community will find the builds that do the most damage, but we anticipate a greater amount of builds made and played for fun after we make these changes. Additionally, we will look at all Anointments to enable a more even playing field between them all.

There's also the concern that chests and vending machines in Mayhem Mode do not currently spawn gear for that level of Mayhem. This will be corrected in the second phase; as it currently stands, we don’t have the ability to change it right this moment. We are in the process of creating the data for this new functionality to work and will need the time to test it along with all the other changes.

We continue to prioritize game performance and stability. Our first step was identifying Mayhem Modifiers that players reported as causing the most issues, then removing them via hotfixes until a later date. Since then, the reports of stability issues have significantly decreased. The changes that we'll make in these two phases will contain various Mayhem Mode optimizations and restore previously disabled modifiers.

Unrelated to Mayhem Mode, we’re testing some quality-of-life enhancements. 

Fight for Your Life will receive the improvements we highlighted on a previous Borderlands Show. Coming in the next patch, a player’s movement will slow while they are being revived and the interactive radius around the downed player will increase to prevent them from accidentally running away from their saviors. We also will implement a particle system to indicate more clearly when a player is being revived, along with new functionality so that multiple players will be able to speed up the reviving process by all coming to a downed player’s aid.

Common feedback we receive is for named enemies to have their own drops. We are looking at making those changes and spreading out the loot pool in a future patch. This will coincide with an increase to the drop rate for dedicated loot.

We want to ensure players have a use for all the Eridium they’ve collected throughout the galaxy. The Veteran Rewards machine will receive a shipment of mission-specific rewards that players can redeem once a mission ends. In addition, you'll have good reason to pull out the Eridian Fabricator, dust it off, and start shooting out weapons with your gun gun. We're considering ways to increase the rate of Legendaries that the Eridian Fabricator can shoot out at the expense of more Eridium for each trigger pull.

Community feedback is vital to us. Thank you for letting us know what you like and where we can improve. We read and see all the messages! Consider all the above just another step in our continual commitment to you and the quality-of-life improvements we're bringing to Borderlands 3. We’re excited to share even more planned changes and glimpses of all the content still to come!

Today we will release a hotfix for Borderlands 3, which will be live on all platforms by 12:00 PM PST. In this week’s hotfixes, Loot the Universe starts on Nekrotafeyo, and we address some community concerns. To apply hotfixes, wait at the main menu until you see a sign that says “Hotfixes Applied”! If you are experiencing any issues or want to provide feedback, please submit a ticket to https://support.2k.com/.

The Loot the Universe mini-event is taking place on Nekrotafeyo this week when these hotfixes are live. Loot Nekrotafeyo until May 21 at 9:00 AM PT!

• Activate the Loot the Universe event on Nekrotafeyo until 9:00 AM PT on May 21!
• Addressed a reported concern where Mayhem would occasionally not award cash, Eridium, or XP after death
• Addressed a reported concern that the Legendary weapons Storm and Firestorm were sometimes not spawning their elemental orbs when fired
• Removed the inaccurate “Anointed Gunner” text from weapons with the non-character-specific elemental critical hit Anointment
• Added the Mongol to Thunk and Sloth’s item pool and increased its damage
• Changed the dedicated loot pools for Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite’s boss and mini-boss, Wotan and the Valkyrie Squad
• Increased the chance for more than one Legendary to drop from the dedicated loot pools of the boss and mini-boss in Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite

We've thinned out Wotan's dedicated loot pool with today's hotfix. As a result, the Valkyrie Squad now drops the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite Shields exclusively from their dedicated loot pool, while Wotan drops the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite Weapons from its dedicated loot pool exclusively.  This does not affect world drops from these enemies. Paired with the change to allow more than a single Legendary to possibly drop at one time, players should have an easier and more consistent farming experience in this content.

Today we will release a hotfix for Borderlands 3, which will be live on all platforms by 12:00 PM PST. In this week’s hotfixes, Loot the Universe starts on Eden-6, and we've addressed two community concerns regarding Mayhem Mode.

Today we will release a hotfix for Borderlands 3, which will be live by 12:00 PM PST. In this week’s hotfixes, Loot the Universe starts on Promethea, and we address drop rates in Mayhem Mode and concerns reported by the community. To apply hotfixes, wait at the main menu until you see a sign that says “Hotfixes Applied”!

Thank you to everyone who has already jumped into Revenge of the Cartels and experimented with Mayhem 2.0! We’ve been closely monitoring feedback and are aware of some stability issues and concerns as a result of the April 23 patch. Since then, we’ve released additional hotfixes to temporarily disable two resource-intensive Mayhem Modifiers, Boundary Issues and Drone Ranger, and have already seen substantial improvements to performance and stability. We are continuing to focus our efforts on addressing your concerns. Today’s adjustments to drop rates and Anointment rates are another step toward incorporating community feedback. If you are experiencing any issues or want to provide additional feedback, please submit a ticket to https://support.2k.com/.

If you’ve noticed a potential concern that has affected you that is not addressed in this update, please send us your data! Many factors are at work and collecting info from a variety of folks can go a long way to help us find commonalities, identify the root cause, and address confirmed issues.

The best way to get us your data would be to open a support ticket and include the following information:

1. Summary of the issue.
2. Frequency of the issue – how often is this happening?
3. The platform you’re playing on. If PC, include a dxdiag log and crash dump.

5. Do you know the steps to make this problem happen again? What are they?

Check out Revenge of the Cartels, the new Borderlands 3 seasonal event bringing you limited-time loot and rewards.



Soak up some rays, rock those neon colors, and bust crime like it's the '80s in Revenge of the Cartels, the free seasonal event happening in Borderlands 3 from April 23 to June 4. Revenge of the Cartels features an all-new area, fresh enemy types, limited-time Challenges, and of course, tons of gear to collect including new Legendaries and Anointments.

In his continued studies of human customs, your Saurian crewmate Maurice has gotten himself mixed up with the wrong crowd, and now finds himself indebted to Joey Ultraviolet, the kingpin of the Eridium Cartel. To save Maurice's scaly hide, you'll need to take the fight to Joey and his gangs of underlings at Villa Ultraviolet, an opulent hideout overlooking a tropical paradise.


The first time you log in during Revenge of the Cartels, you'll get a repeatable quest from Maurice aboard Sanctuary III that must be completed in order to reach Villa Ultraviolet. During the event, neon-glowing Cartel Operative enemies can be found lurking around the galaxy, including areas from campaign add-ons. When you kill an Operative, a dead-man's switch signal is sent to their cohorts, and some Cartel Thugs will warp in to avenge their slain comrade.

Be on your guard, because Cartel Thugs might also be accompanied by one of the Eridium Cartel's Underbosses. These are unique, Badass-level enemies belonging to one of the Cartel's three gangs (more on those in a bit). Eliminating these reinforcements will net you Hideout Coordinates; once you've collected enough of these, Maurice can open up a portal that leads directly to Villa Ultraviolet.


Once you make it to Villa Ultraviolet, you'll have to battle your way through hordes of Eridium Cartel members belonging to one of three distinct gangs. You might encounter the tech-obsessed cyborgs of CryptoSec, the meat-charring debt collectors of The Burnt Ends, or the Eridium dust runners known as The Purpatrators.

Each gang has their own Underbosses, who you'll need to take down in addition to Joey Ultraviolet himself—and each gang has its own Legendary loot pool, so multiple visits to Villa Ultraviolet are highly encouraged. Every time you clear out Villa Ultraviolet, one of the other gangs will rise to fill the power vacuum, so you won't take on the same gang twice in a row. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to find gear with new Anointments that trigger bonuses when you first activate your Action Skill, or new Legendary weapons like the O.P.Q. System assault rifle that can shoot an auto-firing copy of itself targeting whatever you're looking at.


In addition to each gang's new loot, Revenge of the Cartels introduces a new set of limited-time Challenges you can complete to earn themed cosmetic rewards. There are 18 Challenges in all that are only available while Revenge of the Cartels is live, and you can track your progress via the event tab in your ECHO Device menu. Here's a breakdown of the cosmetic items you'll collect depending on how many event Challenges you've completed:

• 3 Challenges: 'VECH-tor Graphics' ECHO Device Skin
• 6 Challenges: 'Retro Outrunner' Weapon Trinket
• 10 Challenges: 'Framed Firewall' Room Decoration
• 14 Challenges: 'Hotline Pandora' Vault Hunter Head
• 18 Challenges: 'Death by Filigrees' Vault Hunter Skin

As with other seasonal events, you can turn the event on or off at any time between its start and end dates via an option in the Main Menu. In multiplayer, the host's choice will determine if the group sees Revenge of the Cartels content.

Revenge of the Cartels will kick off via a patch on Thursday, April 23 and is scheduled to run for six weeks ending on June 4. Good luck taking down the Eridium Cartel, Vault Hunter—Joey Ultraviolet and his gangs won't know what hit 'em!

Check out the other big update coming with the April 23 patch: Mayhem Mode 2.0!

Today we will release an update for Borderlands 3, which will be live by 12:00 PM PST, that kicks off the Revenge of the Cartels Seasonal Event, adds a new update to Mayhem Mode, brings us the first week of Loot the Universe, and addresses some community concerns!

• Added support for Revenge of the Cartels, the new seasonal event happening from April 23 to June 4!

Our cross-cultural researcher Maurice is back, but he's gotten himself mixed up with a rough crowd, and he's now in debt to Eridium Cartel kingpin Joey Ultraviolet. It's now up to you to take on Joey Ultraviolet and his gangs of underlings to save Maurice's hide.

• Buffs for Moze, the Gunner

During our investigations into Moze’s viability, we determined a handful of changes that we were unable to include as a hotfix and are now included into today’s patch.

Dakka Bear –  When a player is in the gunner’s nest, Iron Bear's weapons and turret will now deal increase damage
Force Feedback – Added an instant 10% shield restore on top of immediately beginning shield recharging

Redistribution - Adds health regeneration as well as ammo regen after crit
Scrappy - Adds weapon damage to the skill
