Borderlands 3 Endgame Content Detailed; Proving Grounds Showcased at ONL

Gearbox certainly isn’t being shy with revealing new details on its highly anticipated looter-shooter Borderlands 3. During Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, Paul Sage discussed yet more details on Borderland 3; this time, its endgame content, which included a new game mode called Proving Grounds.

The developer is bringing back Circle of Slaughter –a wave after wave survival mode in which the longer you survive the more loot you get.

There’s also news on an all-new mode called Proving Grounds in which players discover Eridian writing, decipher coordinates, and then take a mission with different objectives, including optional objectives that reward with greater loot.

There will be six different proving grounds in total, as well as all sorts of endgame content including Guardian content. Sage says that Gearbox will be revealing more details on that throughout this week at Gamescom.
