Boarderlands 3

[Muzzlrpress]

Between shield and health I'm at like 25K and can still be killed in 2-3 hits from anointed and bad asses.

Man, got into a SS mtch the other day and every other enemy seemed to be anointed. we did not survive.

[freeburn]

Maybe it's just cause I'm playing amara and her life steal is crazy but I don't have alot of trouble on m3. I just finished true vault hunter m3 play thru. Solod the slaughter fest on m3 last night but ran out of ammo on the last boss so I just killed myself and went to bed

Amara is a beast. Feel like a lot of people sleep on her and go for Fl4k and Moze mostly.

Is the game still good? I heard updates kinda ruining it.

Recommend getting it, playing it, and finding out for yourself vice listening to the mindless drubs. It's a fun game. Period.

Absolutely. See comments on SS alone. LOL. nothing to do with having a good build, everything to do with literally not being able to see anything.

Also, I've started to notice Fl4k's fade away needs a potential buff. The whole point is you disappear and can't be seen, yet enemies keep shooting at me when I disappear.

Collecting new gear and cosmetics

Your enemies in Heck have a chance to drop gear that will only be available during Bloody Harvest, including Fearmonger, a new Legendary shotgun that packs a supernatural punch. You might also find Anointed weapons that play off the new Terror mechanic introduced in Bloody Harvest. Haunted enemies can inflict the Terror debuff, which will affect your aim and partially cloud your vision—but with these new Anointed effects, you can turn Terror into a beneficial boost of power.

There's also a set of seasonal cosmetic items which won't drop in Heck, but are still exclusive to the Bloody Harvest event. During the event, you have the chance to earn a skin for each of the four Vault Hunters (which also apply to Moze's mech Iron Bear and Fl4K’s pets), a seasonal ECHO Device Skin, a shrunken head Weapon Trinket, and finally a ghostly Global Weapon Skin, all of which you can check out in the trailer up top.

To unlock these items, you'll need to complete a new set of Challenges that are exclusive to Bloody Harvest. Progress towards completing these Challenges is tracked automatically, and each cosmetic item is unlocked via completing a certain number of these Challenges.

We can't wait for you to visit Heck and take on Captain Haunt when Bloody Harvest begins on October 24. Until then, do your best to steel yourself for the terrifying trials that await you.

Started playing moze this weekend. Got up to level 16. Can confirm, she's pretty damn fun too. Solid game all around.


Also, if you aren't on the borderlands 3 reddit, i suggest it. Some pretty funny content and some info on how gearbox actually keeps track of stuff that needs changing.

Yep. I get most of my intel from there. Updates, patch notes, game info, shift keys. All the latest and greatest.


Also, I can't remember if I posted it on here or not, or if most people don't know it or not but- during Tyreen's boss fight, when you're "supposed" to climb up her back and shoot her on the back of the head-----you can shoot her from on the ground level. If you're facing her while she's down, go to your right ( over her left shoulder ) and look up on the top of her. You can see the pink spot you're supposed to shoot and hit it from the ground

This may not be the biggest breakthrough in the game, but every time I see people fighting her they always climb. Furthermore, I haven't seen anyone posting online actually do this or say it. I've not once seen it talked about or mentioned. So.... yea. Not saying I discovered it, but I found that out my first or second time fighting her.

Truth be told I found out because I kept falling off her back trying to climb up her. Full retard. Just kept falling off. So I got pissed and tried throwing grenades up there, which lead to me firing up there, which lead to it working. Sometimes the angle is messed up and you waste more amm than other times, but it works every time. This is something I regularly practice.

[Muzzlrpress]

Funniest thing to me about the Tyreen fight is I get wrecked harder by the motherfukking varkids than her.

haha. yep. those things f-ck me up something fierce. They are the absolute worse and even worse when you get downed and need to aim for them. They're always around unless you need to f-cking shoot one.

I rage hard, hard, hard from those.

[twovalvekid]

Good info. I found it annoying to climb on her. Get one shot and she bucks you off.

[mgftp]

Sounds like an ex of mine.

[Phrankoff]

^^^^ ayy



here is a video of someone doing what I tal
ked about with Tyreen. He goes on her other side, and goes way far back. So either side works.

I get pissed when I'm down and can't kill those fukking things fast enough to respawn. God those bugs are tanks.

[Phrankoff]

not plugging this dudes channel, I have no f-cking clue who he is but his videos are f-cking hilarious. He does goofy chit to video games that are entertaining as hell. He is kind of a try-hard, but his commentary is f-cking hilarious.

I watched him, beat Borlderlands 2 without using a gun, Borderlands 3 without guns, BL3 with only white guns, and BL3 with Fl4ks pets only. lol srs.

This guy is retarded but its very, very entertaining.

[hackfunnigans]

Uhm what’s this annointed stuff in the endgame. I don’t mind one of them with a bunch of badasses or whatever, but 4? No thanks Jeff just turned it off.

Some m3 modifiers make anointed late game superbosses and it pisses me off.

[twovalvekid]

This. Theyre basically badass enemies that are way over the top bullet sponges. And also take massive amounts of damage from you.

FYI guys, that event for this week started today. Virtually means a lot more anointed drops in Mayhem modes.
The other thing is related to twitch. You have to sign up, link your gearbox/shift account to twitch, then go on twitch and activate the Echo extension then you have to watch some dudes stream BL3 FULL SCREEN, it won't work without it, and you get to get his Legendaries that he finds while you're watching it.

It's pretty complicated and I don't really want to watch someone else play for hours at a time. Maybe run in on your laptop while you play yourself. Idk

[Phrankoff]

Ok boyos I figured out this Twitch thing. So you have to go to your Geabox website and have an account. Then make a twitch account (free) then go to Gearbox and LINK the accounts. Then in Twtich, link them again. You download this extended ECHO app. Once you get that set up you refresh.

Once that happens you get to pick 1 item from every RED CHEST , then that gets sent to your mailbox in the game ready to use.

I am currently watching a guy called MADMAXS. He is farming Lillith's Chest over and over. So this dude played for 3 hours straight farming bosses then jumped to this Lilliths chest farm. He is just rerunning it for us to get legendaries.

The scrolling chat also makes this pretty fun cause you can troll and talk **** to people. Its pretty fun

Meh. I just want to play. Might be passing this one and continuing the Moze trek.

Side note, totally didn't even think about it but all of the bonuses you get for buying the super deluxe version (cheddar shredder grenade, butt stallion grenade, happy fun ball grenade, and the water guns...all legendary) scale to the level you went and claimed them at. Should've totally waited until i was 50 again to claim them. Fuark.

Guess ill start amara next. LOL.

[Phrankoff]

yeah well I'm working from home so popping in and out to get free legendaries is fun. Plus I have my xbox on farming chupacabra

my brain is everywhere right now

good looking out on that twitch channel. ez leggos while at work lol.

[Phrankoff]

f-cking aye. Like butts in a barrel

[Phrankoff]

Sup boyos. I have officially become addicted to twitch for now. I have infiltrated 2 ppular channels and one notorious channel.
I have received ultra dope legendaries from streamers for free just for clicking a few buttons and I got an anointed, fire Lyuda to cuck graveward to bits.

I farmed for recurring hex but could not get this. Also, the new best grenade is the Storm Front. I have 3 sets of them, all the same. They're pretty much like recurring hex but during spamming them they drop nades to the ground that don't move and blow chit up

[Phrankoff]

Is this thread still broke broke?

EDIT:

Hey it actually works. I have been trying to post several times on several computers and it says it's 404d.

Anyway whats up guys? There have been some MAJOR announcements for the future of Borderlands 3.

How about that event drop? Anyone get the legendaries yet? To be clear, there are 3. Grenades, a shotgun and a shield.


The first big DLC will be in November and it will come with some upgrades.

-Bank expanded over double it's current size with plans to make it bigger as we roll along
-SKippabke cut scenes are currently being worked on
-Gearbox intro audio was nerfed, lol
-Biggest news of all..... MAYHEM 4!

Those are a lot of notes to take in, and we're still hard at work addressing reported issues in Borderlands 3. But given that we're just about a month out from Borderlands 3's launch, we'd like to take this opportunity to outline our plans for future updates, including some of the community's most frequently requested changes. There can always be unforeseen challenges when working on patches and hotfixes, so we'll keep you posted on more concrete release timings as these updates continue to progress. Here's a look at some of the things we're working to implement in future patches.
PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY

Game performance and stability continue to be our top priorities. The first fruits of that labor will be released in our upcoming November patch, with various improvements game-wide. We've also been hard at work improving the game's stability and more improvements in this regard are expected to be included in the November patch. Performance and stability will continue to be an ongoing effort with more fixes rolled out with each upcoming patch.
THE BANK

Expanding the bank has been the most consistently requested feature by the community. We've heard you loud and clear and the groundwork for expanding the bank has already started. The first of several planned expansions will coincide with the release of Takedown at Maliwan's Blacksite. Expect a significant bank expansion that will more than double the existing space. Additional expansions to the bank will continue to be rolled out over future releases.
DEDICATED LOOT POOLS FOR BOSSES

Several of you have stated a desire to find gear more easily in the game. To do that we are updating the loot pools (the data that determines what in-game items drop) to ensure that more specific gear drops from bosses. That means you'll be able to go to a specific boss to get the specific gear you're looking for. We're working out which bosses get which gear right now and expect this to be ready as part of the November patch as well.
CHARACTER BUFFS

In the late stages of the game when Mayhem Mode is active, we've found that player companions (Moze's Iron Bear, FL4K's pets, and Zane's Digi-Clone/SNTL) are reportedly not performing as well as we had expected. To address this, we're looking at how to adjust damage according to the relevant skills and gear. The goal here is to make sure we have as many viable character builds as possible.
ADDITIONAL MAYHEM LEVELS AND MAYHEM 2.0

Mayhem Mode has been a fantastic addition to the Borderlands world. After receiving some great community feedback, we've been hard at work on a significant revamp that will introduce a host of improvements over several upcoming updates.

The first update will be released as part of the Takedown at Maliwan's Blacksite and includes the first new Mayhem Mode level, Mayhem 4. Expect a significant challenge when it debuts, with tougher enemies that reward players with highly synergized character builds. A new batch of Legendary gear will also only drop while in Mayhem 4 to reward those players who are truly up for the challenge.

Longer term we have plans to overhaul Mayhem Mode with more UI support, new Mayhem Modifiers that change gameplay more dramatically, Mayhem playlists, new rewards, and additional levels of Mayhem to work through. We're excited about Mayhem 2.0 and we'll talk more about it when we get a little closer to its release.
VENDING MACHINES

Marcus heard the outcry for more vending machines, so we're airdropping in some more across multiple maps. Expect new ammo and health vending machines outside of a few boss arenas and a few in some of the bigger environments. Below are the locations where the new vending machines will be appearing:

Athenas
Atlas HQ
Skywell-27
Lectra City
Jakobs Estate
Voracious Canopy
Tazendeer Ruins
The Pyre of Stars

SKIPPABLE CINEMATICS

We're currently investigating the best way to approach letting players skip cutscenes. This is much easier said than done. Under the hood, the game may activate critical events based on cinematics. In order to make sure mission progression isn't negatively impacted, we need to inspect each cinematic and make sure those events still work correctly. We have a few ideas on how to tackle this problem and expect to have a solution soon.
TARGET DUMMY

Need an easier way to test your gear? We're going to add a target dummy to the shooting range on Sanctuary III! We feel this is the best location since your bank is also on the ship. This way you can manage and test your builds on Sanctuary III without having to travel anywhere else. You can expect to see this sometime in December.
THE FUTURE

The list above is only a high-level look at what some of our teams are working on. Stay tuned as we continue to add more information and additions to this list. We here at Gearbox are excited about where Borderlands 3 is heading, and we look forward to showing you all the content that's still to come!

Hey you buttery buttholes...

New Maliwan Takedown launches Nov 21.

Shift key: k9w3t-bjz59-b9shb-6b3jt-t9cff for Halloween Heads

Borderlands 4 BASICALLY confirmed. A fan wrote in a question about an all out Vault Haunter War...will that be addressed? The guy caved and said we won't see the war in this DLC or any DLCs for Borderlands 3. =X

[freeburn]

Anyone tried any of these terror builds? I haven't really cause my build is just too strong with amara.
