'Borderlands 3' Celebrates Two Years of Mayhem With 'Loot the Universe' Mini-Event Series

by Rainier on Aug. 12, 2021 @ 1:49 p.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.

The original shooter-looter returns, packing bazillions of guns and an all-new mayhem-fueled adventure!

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.

Stop the fanatical Calypso Twins from uniting the bandit clans and claiming the galaxy’s ultimate power. Only you, a thrill-seeking Vault Hunter, have the arsenal and allies to take them down.

Become one of four extraordinary Vault Hunters, each with unique abilities, playstyles, deep skill trees, and tons of personalization options. All Vault Hunters are capable of awesome mayhem alone, but together they are unstoppable.

With bazillions of guns and gadgets, every fight is an opportunity to score new gear. Firearms with self-propelling bullet shields? Check. Rifles that spawn fire-spewing volcanoes? Obviously. Guns that grow legs and chase down enemies while hurling verbal insults? Yeah, got that too.

Discover new worlds beyond Pandora, each featuring unique environments to explore and enemies to destroy. Tear through hostile deserts, battle your way across war-torn cityscapes, navigate deadly bayous, and more!

Two years since launch and Borderlands 3 is still going strong, all thanks to the unstoppable Borderlands community!

There's been plenty of mayhem made since the game’s previous Year in Review check-in, including the highly-requested Crossplay Update; in-game additions like Crazy Earl's Reroll Machine and Maurice's Black Market Vending Machine; and the launch of the Director's Cut (requires Borderlands 3 base game to play) add-on, with its raid boss, story missions, behind-the-scenes content, and Vault Cards.

To celebrate the second anniversary of Borderlands 3 on September 13, 2021, we have five weeks of mini-events lined up to show our appreciation for the community’s passion and support! Starting August 12, the fan-favorite Loot the Universe series of mini-events that reward you with loads of Legendary loot for seeing (then shooting) the planetary sights will be back.

Each week during Loot the Universe, a different Borderlands 3 planet will become a bastion of better drops, with specific types of Legendary loot having increased chances of dropping in one of that planet's zones. You'll get to keep all the bonus Legendary loot you find during these mini-events, and it'll be up to the community to discover what kind of Legendary loot drops where, so mark your calendars:

  • Week 1 (9:00 AM PT August 12 to 8:59 AM PT August 19) - Pandora;
  • Week 2 (9:00 AM PT August 19 to 8:59 AM PT August 26) - Promethea;
  • Week 3 (9:00 AM PT August 26 to 8:59 AM PT September 2) - Eden-6;
  • Week 4 (9:00 AM PT September 2 to 8:59 AM PT September 9) - Nekrotafeyo.

The fun doesn't stop after your galactic tour! Starting September 9 at 9:00 AM PT, two more mini-events commence in tandem (and conclude one week later): Mayhem Made Mild, where you'll only encounter Easy modifiers in Mayhem Mode; and Show Me the Eridium, which grants increased Eridium drops and Eridium item discounts. We have even more planned for the big day on September 13, but we don't want to spoil the surprise just yet. Expect to see more details closer to Borderlands 3’s second birthday.

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 now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Stadia, and PC (Steam and the Epic Games Store).
