Borderlands 3 Goes Western in Latest Story DLC

The next two DLC packs for Borderlands 3, which are developed in part with Gearbox Studio Québec (@GearboxQuebec), were revealed in an episode of The Borderlands Show this past week.

The first is a new multiplayer challenge titled Takedown at the Guardian, the second is the third major story DLC titled Bounty of Blood.

Takedown at the Guardian Breach - June 4, 2020

Takedown at the Guardian Breach is a new challenge that scales to the number of players in your party but is meant to for a full party of four levelled-up Vault Hunters. Together you’ll undertake a reconnaissance mission to the planet of Minos Prime to locate the source of a mysterious Guardian signal. Along with new enemies, low-gravity platforming sections, and environmental puzzles, you'll have to overcome both a miniboss and a final boss encounter. You'll be rewarded with a host of new items, including themed weapons, gear, and collectable cosmetics.

Bounty of Blood - June 25, 2020

Bounty of Blood features an all-new setting, only here your Vault Hunter will interact with a new cast of characters as an unseen narrator commentates your adventure. You'll travel to the harsh desert planet of Gehenna to claim a bounty on The Devil Riders, a vicious gang of bandits that’s been terrorizing the small town of Vestige.

Bounty of Blood also features several gameplay additions, like the customizable JetBeast hoverbike that'll help you traverse the open plains quickly and can be outfitted with artillery like dual machine guns and mortar weapons. You’ll also find four brand new interactive objects that will aid you in combat and exploration. The Traitorweed, for example, can temporarily turn enemies into allies when shot, while the Breezebloom will boost your Vault Hunter to great heights so you can reach otherwise-out-of-reach areas. And of course, there'll be loads of new loot to chase after, including plenty of Western-themed weaponry.

In addition to the above announcements, Gearbox also shared a piece of concept art for the fourth campaign add-on. Looks trippy!
