A new detail about the duels in Borderlands 3 promises that there will be plenty of chaos. We will tell you what is changing.
Duels are simply a part of a “Borderlands” game. While they almost never have a real purpose, they are a fun addition to the game that can lighten the gameplay and provide some laughter in voice chat. There will be duels in Borderlands 3 again – this time more than two players can participate.
What is changing in the duels? In Borderlands 3, duels can not only be fought in “1 vs 1” but all four Vault Hunters can compete against each other in a kind of deathmatch. Anyone can hurt anyone until only one player remains, who will then be declared the winner of this “duel”. This is of course much more chaotic and allows players to temporarily team up to give a comrade a good beating. They probably deserve it.
What do duels bring? Basically, Borderlands is not a PvP game, as neither the weapons nor the talent systems are designed for that. However, it can be fun to challenge a friend to a duel when they have made a silly remark or interrupted NPC dialogues because they rushed forward too quickly.
Or you can take the simplest of all reasons: Loot. Those who argue over a weapon that all players can use can just settle it in a quick chaos duel.
By the way: If you don’t want to argue over loot, you don’t have to. Borderlands 3 also has a “private” loot mode. There, every player gets their own loot. Additionally, there is loot from the mailbox in Borderlands 3.
Have you used the duel feature in the predecessors? Did you argue over loot as well? Or is this feature completely insignificant to you?
