On Wednesday, Gearbox Software introduced Borderlands 3 as part of an event revealing the gameplay. special stream presentation, bringing a ton of new light on the long-awaited sequel. You can watch the feed again via the link above, but keep reading to get a breakdown of game details and changes made by Gearbox during the event.
To start with, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford and Creative Director Paul Sage noted that everything we saw was in Unreal Engine 4, but the transition did not lose Borderlands' iconic style – neither the inclusion of Claptrap to launch the film. procedure. This story revolves around a new faction on Pandora, a cult called the children of the vault. Lilith, the mermaid of previous games, leads the Crimson Raiders and tries to investigate the cult.
New characters and weapons
Speaking of mermaids, the demo featured Amara, the siren warrior. After a visit to a fast charging station to check customization options, Amara is up and running with a new useful route tool. Safe hunters can now sprint-slide or jump over ledges.
New chest hunters also have a variety of new combat tools. Firearms sometimes offer several firing modes, such as a Vladof pistol that can switch between semi-automatic mode or a series of "micro-missiles". Similarly, some elemental weapons can switch between elements. The demo also showed that the cover was being destroyed and that explosive cannons could be propelled to the enemies during melee attacks. In addition, environmental hazards can be affected by items such as oil fires or water conducting electricity. You can also revive NPCs, and the favor goes both ways.
In the story, Amara quickly makes fun of the cult leader, Shiv. He captures Claptrap, forcing you to take a shield and engage in a melee battle with him. Gearbox has promised bigger bosses that will also require more coordination. Once Shiv was removed, Lilith appeared and explained that she was looking for a key that would lead to chests on other worlds.
We also took a closer look at Amara's skill tree. It's very similar to other Borderlands games, with three tree-branch skills and a powerful action skill. Each character can choose an action skill to equip, besides Zane, who can equip a second in retreating grenades. Amara's three action skills are Phaseslam, Phasegrasp and Phasecast. In the demo, they selected the AOE Phaseslam ability. This time, some skills will also have optional increases and modifiers, such as an electric Phaseslam.

Cooperative
From there, the demonstration is passed to the cooperative game. Each receives his own stream of loot, and a level balancing tool allows everyone to fight his enemies and receive loot at his own level. This feature is called "Instancing looting," according to Gearbox. If you prefer that it works like the old Borderlands games, you can disable these options and play using the "Classic Mode" setting.
The co-op partner chose to play Zane and Gearbox also unveiled their own skill tree. He can make a digital copy of himself called Digiclone and exchange places with her at will. It can also create a Sentinel autonomous robot or invoke a barrier shield.
During the game presentation, Gearbox introduced a new feature that makes Borderlands 2 disposable guns a little more useful. Now, when they are thrown away, they can have strange properties. A pistol became a bouncing ball that hurt the enemies during the impact – and was also responsive. Another became a turret, a third one turned into a research rocket.
In cooperation, the partners went to the sacred recruitment center of the sect to hire another chief, Mouthpiece, responsible for the propaganda operation "The Children of the Tomb". Faithful to its theme, its weapon is healthy and, once defeated, players receive a unique pistol that draws sound waves. At this point, the demo presented a brief introduction to the main antagonists, the Calypso Twins: Troy and Tyreen.
Sanctuary And Prometheus
Finally, the demo unveiled Sanctuary, your customizable home away from home. Sanctuary is a ship that jumps between planets and serves as a base. You can show off your favorite weapons, collect loot that you may not have been able to recover before, go to Moxxi's bar, open Gold Key chests, chat with Tannis, or do business with merchants like Marcus. and Crazy Earl. Hammerlock has its own trophy room, where your most important achievements are highlighted, and Maya also goes out the door.
