About Borderlands 3

Borderlands 3 poster

The shooter-looter that defined the formula comes roaring back in Borderlands 3, stuffing bazillions of guns into a brand-new, mayhem-fuelled adventure. You take on the role of one of four fresh Vault Hunters, each with deep skill trees and heavy customization, blasting across new worlds to save your home from the galaxy's most ruthless cult leaders. As an action FPS with RPG systems, it plays just as well solo as it does with friends on PC.

The story pits you against the fanatical Calypso Twins, who aim to unite the bandit clans and seize the galaxy's ultimate power. Only a thrill-seeking Vault Hunter has the arsenal and the allies to stop them, and while each hero can cause plenty of chaos alone, together they become unstoppable.

Loot remains the beating heart of it all. Every firefight is a chance to score new gear, and the guns get gloriously absurd, from firearms with self-propelling bullet shields to rifles that spawn fire-spewing volcanoes and weapons that sprout legs to chase down enemies while hurling insults. Beyond Pandora lie entirely new worlds, each with its own hostile environments and enemies to tear through.
