Blast through new worlds and enemies as one of four brand new Vault Hunters – the ultimate treasure-seeking badasses of the Borderlands, each with deep skill trees, abilities, and customization.
 
Play solo or join with friends to take on insane enemies, collect bazillions of guns and loads of loot, and save your home from the most ruthless cult leaders in the galaxy – the Calypso Twins.

The franchise, which combines the exhilarating action of a first-person shooter with the rich progression and loot systems of a role-playing game, has sold-in more than 41 million units worldwide to date. The most popular title in the series – Borderlands 2 – still draws in more than one million unique monthly users more than six years after the game’s initial release in 2012.

This month, it will have been 10 years since the original Borderlands debuted on October 20, 2009, and we're showing our appreciation for a full decade of support with a five-week Borderlands Anniversary Celebration. For the entire month of October (and a little bit of November), Borderlands 3 Vault Hunters of all levels can score extra in-game loot and bonuses.

Each of the next five weeks will feature its very own theme in Borderlands 3, encouraging different in-game activities to maximize your rewards. As of Tuesday, October 1 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time, Boss Week is live and will remain active until October 8 at 8:59 a.m. Pacific Time, when the following week's theme will begin. During Boss Week, certain bosses will have an increased chance to drop specific Legendary items.

This week is the Rare Spawn Hunt.

If you’ve explored the untamed wilds and urban hideouts of Borderlands 3, you’ve likely found a Rare Spawn. These named enemies are lurking around the many corners of the galaxy and will sometimes show up on bounty boards. For the second week of our month-long Borderlands Anniversary Celebration, those Rare Spawns are about to become a lot less rare.

Starting tomorrow, October 8 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time, the Rare Spawn Hunt will begin. During the Rare Spawn Hunt, the Rare Spawns below are guaranteed to show up in their designated locations and have an increased chance to drop unique Legendary loot. It’s your chance to seek and destroy enemies you might’ve never known existed, or snag the unique Legendary weapons and gear you’ve been chasing. Here’s a list of all the Rare Spawns that are part of this week’s event, along with their unique Legendary drops:

• Rakkman – Night Flyer, Legendary Pistol
