After years of fans asking for it, Gearbox Software finally caved and brought players another chapter of explosive action in Pandora’s universe. Borderlands 3 tasks players with stopping the “Children of the Vault” who are intent on finding the rest of the Vaults beyond the planet of Pandora.
That means you’ll have to use your various, unique character skills and abilities to turn the tides of battle and plow through any enemies that stand in your way.
There are vehicles to use to get around faster, upgrades to make you more formidable, and of course, there are more guns than you can shake a stick at. And that’s a lot!
Simply put, Borderlands 3 is more of everything that fans knew and loved from the previous titles, with all the trimmings added on top in the form of new features to keep players happy.
To help you explore Pandora and beyond and reach the end of your adventure, as well as succeed in Borderlands 3’s end game, we’ve put together this guide wiki. Everything from the basics right through to what to do in the end game, weapon rarities, and manufacturers can all be found below. So, let’s dive in.
