Like your own boss fights, Borderlands 3 To be continued. Today, Gearbox revealed details about Director’s Cut, an upcoming DLC for the looter-shooter released on March 18.
Director’s Cut will add a series of recurring challenges called Vault Cards, concept art, storyboards and something that players have been asking for a long time: a raid boss.
Like Crawmerax, the Invincible from the first game, this new attack boss – a gigantic, fire-breathing voracious called Hemovorous – also has the suffix “the Invincible”. Do you know that door on Pandora that has been locked since day one? Hemovorous lives behind this. You will need to put 500 Eridium at a time to unlock the door and start the fight.
THE Director’s Cut The DLC also adds side missions based on the story. One, with the rising siren Ava, focuses on a series of interstellar murder mysteries. Apparently, the narrative is done as a podcast, as if Serial it hadn’t been in vogue for seven years.
Director’s Cut is the second part of Borderlands 3pass for season two, which sells for $ 30 and includes last fall Designer’s Cut DLC. Season pass owners also receive a set of bonus cosmetics that are not available on individual expansion purchases. (You can pick up the Designer’s Cut little by little for $ 15.)
G / O Media can receive a commission
Gearbox initially described Designer’s Cut as a “roguelike experience”, which is just kind of what it is. THE Designer’s Cut The DLC sends you to a new area – the snowy Stormblind Complex – and clears your cargo. You need to acquire new equipment and fight waves of enemies, while an invading storm restricts the map, with the aim of defeating a boss (relatively easy). You can extract any equipment you win at multiple kiosks around the map, allowing you to maintain it permanently. Anyway, it’s more of a real cooperative battle than a roguelike, but hey, what are the terms?
The return of the seasonal Broken Hearts Day event also runs from tomorrow until February 25th. Broken Hearts Day is brilliant in its simplicity. Color-coded hearts float around the world. Shoot them. Get the loot. As most Borderlands 3 events, you can activate or deactivate it, but it’s not clear why someone would actively deactivate something that grants an entire rainbow of Skittles loot.
Since it hit the shelves 18 months ago, Borderlands 3 has received four additional campaign expansions, all of which were part of the first season pass. And then, out of nowhere, Gearbox announced the second season passed last fall. Like any of the boss fights in the game – including, presumably, Hemovorous the Invincible –Borderlands 3 to be continued.
In addition Borderlands 3, Telltale’s Tales from the Frontier will return for digital showcases on Xbox One, PS4 and PC on February 17th. A hiccup: the relaunched version of the game will no longer contain those screens at the end that compare your choices with those of other players.
