Who has set aside Borderlands 3 should take a closer look at it now. Because starting today, the game is getting a lot of strong, new content.
Update 6 PM: Meanwhile, new patch notes have been published that report on the upcoming update. It mainly concerns the new DLC and the level cap.
Borderlands 3 is getting exciting again: Overall, Borderlands 3 has certainly ensured that it hasn’t been boring in recent months. But today, March 26, the game is particularly exciting again. There is a lot to discover – even for players who thought they had seen everything recently.
We show you 3 reasons that speak for a return to the Borderlands.
1. Borderlands 3 is getting its new DLC
This is the new DLC: The new DLC “Guns, Love, and Tentacles” for Borderlands 3 is being released today. In it, you visit a hostile ice planet that evokes nostalgic feelings. And also characters like the new wedding planner Gaige should particularly please fans of the old Borderlands titles.
The DLC includes a completely new environment and story as well as new, exciting gear and some side quests. So if you are longing for a new story in the Borderlands, you should definitely get started here. The first DLC certainly showed that the extra content for Borderlands can be a lot of fun. We have summarized all information about the DLC for you here:
2. New max level – new possibilities
What the new max level brings: If you don’t want to spend money on the new content yet, you can still look forward to something new. The level cap will be increased to 57 levels – and that could noticeably change the game.
Because: With the new max level you can unlock two of your end skills. This means that completely new builds for your vault hunters are emerging. So if you enjoy experimenting with skills, you have plenty to do in the next few days. You can also go on a loot hunt again – after all, it could be worth farming weapons at the new max level.
3. Current and future events
What’s still to come: Currently, the “Takedown Shakedown” event is running in Borderlands 3. This gives you better drop rates in the Maliwan Takedown – and provides the perfect occasion to visit the raid again. This is especially true for all who reach the new level cap starting today. Strong Maliwan loot at level 57 is likely to be exciting.
Additionally, you can now prepare for future content. Besides the six-week cartel event coming up in April, Mayhem 2.0 is also on its way. This will be really tough and offers a total of 10 chaos levels. These get harder from level to level – but also offer better loot. If you want to play Mayhem 10, you will not be able to avoid the new max level and good gear. So it’s time to go gear hunting!
By the way, the new DLC is not the end. Two more add-on contents will be released by the end of the year:
