14 DAY TRIAL // Borderlands 3 fans rejoice, as developer Gearbox has just announced the game's first campaign DLC, Moxxi's Heist of The Handsome Jackpot will be launched on December 19. Three other DLC packs are in development for Borderlands 3, and all four are included in both the Season Pass and the Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition.
If you haven't played Borderlands 3 yet, you can check out the game for free on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for a limited time from November 21 to 24.
Moxxi's Heist of The Handsome Jackpot is designed for characters who are at least level 13 but will automatically scale up so that higher-level Vault Hunters can find a challenge and appropriately powerful loot. Keep in mind that in order to access this content, you'll need to have unlocked Sanctuary III, your home base in space that you reach at the end of the campaign’s prologue.
In the first campaign add-on, Moxxi recruits you to seize control of a derelict space station built by the infamous Handsome Jack back when he was still President of the Hyperion corporation. The place is crawling with multiple models of deadly Hyperion Loader Bots, as well as lunatic looters who’ve been trapped on board ever since Jack’s death.
The new galaxy destination is packed with unique zones, a crew of eccentric characters, thrilling campaign missions, hidden secrets, and strange happenings via fresh side missions and Crew Challenges.
Of course, the upcoming DLC features never-before-seen enemies and larger-than-life bosses, as well as all-new Legendary weapons and gear. Players will also be able to expand their collection of cosmetics with even more customization items, including Vault Hunter heads and skins, weapon trinkets, an ECHO Device skin, and new emotes.
On a side note, Gearbox announced that Borderlands 3 will get another free content update before its first DLC drops in December. Both Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite and Mayhem 4 are being introduced in this next patch, giving veteran Vault Hunters more ways to put their skills to the test.
Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite is a brand new raid-style challenge tuned for coordinated co-op parties of four max-level characters, with restricted respawning to make your opposition that much deadlier. The all-new Mayhem 4 puts a spin Mayhem Mode by removing all player penalties and instead of applying just two random modifiers: one that applies a bonus to players and one that applies a bonus to enemies.
