'Borderlands 3' (ALL) Rolls Out Update Today, Anniversary Celebration Next Week

by Rainier on July 23, 2020 @ 11:46 a.m. PDT

Borderlands 3 is a story-driven, non-stop galactic thrill-ride, filled with colorful characters, epic enemies and boss fights, and literally billions of guns.

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.

It's been nearly a year since Borderlands 3 made its debut on September 13, 2019, and we've collectively made all kinds of mayhem in the months since launch.

In appreciation of all the support from the Borderlands community, 2K and Gearbox Software will be kicking off the Borderlands 3 Anniversary Celebration on July 30, bringing you a whopping six weeks of mini-events in anticipation and celebration of Borderlands 3's first birthday.

A fresh mini-event will be activated every Thursday from July 30 through September 10. The theme and specifics for each mini-event will shared on borderlands.com and Borderlands’ social channels each week, but for now, take a look at what's on the way:

  • ECHOcast Overload (July 30 to August 6) – Better chance of scoring loot during Rare Chest Events in the ECHOcast Twitch extension;
  • Bonus Boss Loot (August 6 to August 13) – Most bosses have an increased chance to drop Legendary loot;
  • Loot Monster Mayhem (August 13 to August 20) – Increased spawn rates for Loot variant enemies;
  • Show Me The Eridium (August 20 to August 27) – Increased Eridium drops, plus Eridium item discounts;
  • Mayhem Made Mild (August 27 to September 3) – All Easy modifiers in Mayhem Mode;
  • Making It Rain (September 3 to September 10) – Enemies drop more in-game cash.

2K and Gearbox also launched another Borderlands 3 quality-of-life update earlier today, delivering new Eridium options, adjustments to Boss loot pools, and other community-requested changes.

Vault Hunters sitting on stockpiles of Eridium – the rare element that serves as in-game currency in Borderlands 3 – can now spend their stashes at the Veteran Rewards vending machine located on Sanctuary III to obtain rare mission rewards that, in some cases, could previously only be obtained once per playthrough.

You can also invest your Eridium into the Eridian Fabricator 2.0, an update to the infamous gun that shoots guns. Its new alternate firing mode requires a hefty chunk of Eridium, but it also guarantees the Fabricator will spit out a Legendary weapon.

If you prefer to farm Legendaries the old fashioned way, you’ll be happy to know the Boss loot pools have now been spread across more Boss enemies, making it easier to grind for the exact Legendary you want and need.

Developed from the ground up with AMD, Borderlands 3 will take full advantage of the most powerful PC hardware available, and is optimized for top performance and incredible gaming experiences on AMD Radeon graphics cards and Ryzen CPUs.

Borderlands 3 is available worldwide on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
