FRESH GUNS:
Borderlands 3 features bazillions of guns, courtesy of the same reputable manufacturers that Vault Hunters like you have been trusting to tool them up since forever. 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.

MEET THE FAMILY:
Out to save the galaxy in Borderlands 3 are four all-new Vault Hunters, each more customizable than all their counterparts from previous games combined. Moze is a gunner who can digistruct and pilot a mech. Amara is a siren who can summon and smash enemies with ethereal fists. FL4K is a beastmaster whose pets prey upon bandits. And Zane is an operative who uses gadgets to cause chaos on the battlefield.

  • Moze as THE GUNNER: When Moze needs backup, she digistructs her mech - Iron Bear - for a sucker punch of additional firepower.
  • Amara as THE SIREN: A confident, capable brawler with the ability to summon ethereal fists, Amara uses her Siren powers to smash her enemies.
  • FL4K as THE BEASTMASTER: FL4K lives for the hunt. So do the loyal beasts that follow their master's every command. Their preferred prey? Unsuspecting bandits, those poor suckers.
  • Zane as THE OPERATIVE: Specializing in battlefield gadgetry, Zane is extremely proficient at slipping into combat, creating chaos, and sneaking back out as if he were never there.

IT'S NOT THEIR VAULT:

Your enemies in Borderlands 3 represent the very worst that this untamed corner of the galaxy has to offer. Psychos, skags, and super badasses of all shapes and sizes will do everything in their power to stop you, and they're smart enough to seek cover, to support each other, and to coordinate their attacks. Look out!

JAKOBS:
Deliver devastating critical hits to enemies' soft-and-sensitives, then joy-puke as your bullets ricochet towards other targets.

mfg-jakobs.jpg


TEDIORE:
Toss your gun like a grenade to reload, then watch it pursue a nearby enemy as a fully loaded version digistructs in your hand.

HYPERION:
Aim down the sights to take cover behind your weapon-mounted shield and keep your finger on the trigger for increased accuracy.

mfg-hyperion.jpg


TORGUE:
Switch between regular and sticky-projectile fire modes. Stickies do more damage if a bunch of them detonate on the same target.

DAHL:

Toggle between alternate fire modes depending on your play style, your predicament, and your predilection for bonus damage.

CHILDREN OF THE VAULT:

It's interesting they haven't mentioned dlc characters yet. I'm guessing we will get some of the original vault hunters but I'm wondering if we'd get to play as some of the characters we haven't yet like Tina? I want Marcus personally. Give him a skill where we can fire guns or useless mods at enemies or combine them into some Pandora's gun like dmc4.

I honestly think these are the best looking vault hunters yet.

I just need to know if Maliwan can make shotguns. I need to know if comical gore from BL1 is returning. And, I need to know if alien tech is also returning from BL1

Character design in this game is the best of the series so far. Loving all the different play style possibilities with the guns too. Can't wait for this.

On one hand, I like that this game seems to have bucked almost every recent trend from the past 5+ years, and is sticking true to the series formula.

On the other hand, this looks like a super standard sequel to a Borderlands game.

I'm excited to try it, but I have a feeling it doesn't have the biggest budget in the world. Or Gearbox was just so shook by Battleborn, the mandate from day one was "make a Borderlands game, and that's literally it"

I hope we can lay to rest now the notion that the game just looks like Borderlands 2.

Anyway, fuck yeah Jakobs.

New direct feed screenshots. I feel this is the first time I can say Gearbox have absolutely nailed the aesthetic they've been going for since the original. You can already tell how much work PBR is putting in.

I really hope it ends up being cross play across ps/xb/pc. Fortnite and soon Dauntless will be 2 games on EGS that are full cross play/account across all 3.

If BL3 ends up being the first HUGE AAA cross game for all, I'll shell out the big bucks for the more expensive editions.

And people were legit saying this looks exactly like BL2, lmao.

Seriously though, I was going to play Fl4k but I'll try him later. I'm definitely starting with Amara.

Wait a minute... The BL3 Collector's Edition doesn't include the game? My store says it doesn't... Hm looks like it's only at this store -_-

And I wish the 2 badguys were actually in the playable characters team :(

The Siren seems even worse than BL2's Siren which was a massive step down from BL1's Siren

Damn, it's so much cleaner looking, looks like it could be a graphic novel. Hoping it looks like this on ps4 pro not just pc.

Hoping for a meta gag where someone says "they dont feel real anymore" and they turn off his coloring and they're just black outlines. Which is easy to do based on their engine tech demo years ago

It hurts me but I can't drop 330CAD on collectors no matter how much I want to.

Am I crazy or does the Super Deluxe seem like a great deal based on previous BL DLC?

Hopefully a 60fps reveal trailer is indicative of consoles. BL2 does a great job hitting it on Pro with boost mode.

This looks AAA as fuck. Nothing indicates a low budget. Take Two has extremely high expectations for BL3 so I doubt funding was an issue at all.

Might want to wait on that reaction. Each character has multiple action skills so I can't see her being worse. Amara even has Phaselock too so she should definitely be more well rounded than Maya. Seems likes mix of Lilith and Maya from what I've seen and read so far.

Damn, it's so much cleaner looking, looks like it could be a graphic novel. Hoping it looks like this on ps4 pro not just pc.

I'm sure it will look great, but I doubt it will be 60fps. It's basically open world. PS5 patch will be 60fps next year.
