Gameplay [edit]

Borderlands 3 is a first-person loot shooter. Players, either playing alone or in parties of up to four people, make a graphic symbol from i of the four classes available, and have on various missions given out by non-playable characters (NPCs) and at compensation boards to gain feel, in-game monetary rewards, and reward items. Players can likewise gain these items by defeating enemies throughout the game. As the role player gains level, they gain skill points to allocate beyond a skill tree. The game introduces 4 new playable characters: Amara, a "Siren" who summons ethereal fists; Moze, a young "Gunner" who rides the mecha Iron Bear; Zane, an "Operative" with a variety of gadgets; and FL4K, a robot "Beastmaster" who summons creatures to aid in fights.^[iii] Different previous Borderlands games where each character had only i unique skill that operates on a cooldown, each character in the new game can unlock three unique skills, though only one (or in Zane's example, two) can exist equipped at a time, greatly expanding the number of potential character builds a thespian can make.

Borderlands 3 shares the aforementioned cadre loop with previous games effectually taking on missions, defeating enemies, and obtaining loot from fallen foes or special chests, most oftentimes in the form of procedurally generated weapons to vary in damage, range, ammo capacity, and other special perks, giving the game "over 1 billion guns".^[4] Perks tin can include elemental effects, such as dissentious the foes with fire, ice, or electricity, or may possess alternative firing beliefs, among other visual differences.^[5] In Borderlands two, some weapons had "slag" elemental, which coated the enemy for a short period and made them extremely vulnerable to a subsequent elemental attack from a different element. Slag weapons have been replaced with radiation; the coating and subsequent vulnerability remains the same as slag, only radiation impairment will likewise hurt enemies over fourth dimension on its own and can potentially spread to other enemies.^[6] The in-game manufacture of the guns also plays a larger role in the type of perks a weapon can have. Tediore guns can be thrown when empty and create additional effects, Atlas have tracking bullets to hunt down enemies in cover, and Hyperion can take shields that absorb harm and use that for other purposes such as healing as well as having a opposite recoil mechanic.^[5] Other randomly-generated items include class modifiers, grenade modifiers, shield kits and relics. When playing with others, Borderlands 3 's boodle tin can exist generated on a per-server basis, meaning that players must split up the loot, but new to the serial, players can likewise have loot generated on a per-role player basis and then that each player gains the same loot, scaled for their character level. This option as well exists for the enemies seen in game; by default enemies but scale with the role player-character'southward level that is operating the server, but when enabled, each actor sees enemies that match their private levels.^[7]

Besides graphic symbol skills and weapons, role player-characters accept new combat maneuvers and abilities, such as crouch-sliding influenced by the mechanic in Titanfall and Apex Legends, and wall-mounting to climb up over short heights.^{[5] [8]} Players and their enemies can take cover behind short barriers which can be destroyed later continued weapon onslaught.^[5]

While the game starts on the planet Pandora, the player early on gains access to a spacecraft, Sanctuary III, which serves equally a central hub between missions, and is used to gear up destinations for new planets where possible Vaults have been identified. While aboard Sanctuary III, players can manage their inventory, recover guns they had left on the field, redo their skill tree, purchase new guns and upgrades, and take on optional missions.^[5] Borderlands 3 has integration with Twitch streams; viewers tin explore the streamer's inventory and skill tree, and special chests in game volition offer the opportunity for viewers to receive the same gun/item that the stream finds via way of a Shift Code they tin enter into their own game, scaled accordingly for their character'due south level.^[9]

Gearbox creative manager Paul Sage estimated that players will spend about 35 hours through the main quest line along with some side missions.^[10] True Vault Hunter Way, a type of New Game Plus, allows players to replay the entrada later on finishing it with their leveled-up character, fighting more difficult enemies for a chance of better loot. The Badass Rank system from Borderlands 2 will exist replaced with a Guardian Rank system, which, past finishing smaller challenges throughout the game, allows players to gain buffs that persist beyond all their characters.^[11] Borderlands iii will include new post-game challenges. "Circles of Slaughter" found on various planets have players attempt to fight through difficult waves of enemies for higher quality of boodle. While downed players can be revived by teammates, if all player-characters die, the match is over and any potential rewards are lost. "Proving Grounds" are a type of raid that must be first discovered by finding hidden markings across the game'southward worlds. Once discovered, players attempt to defeat all enemies across three areas within 30 minutes to complete the claiming and earn their rewards.^[12] A further "Mayhem Manner" randomizes several of the game's campaign elements to farther increment the challenge to the thespian.^{[xi] [thirteen]}

It was as well felt that the game'southward endgame options were "shallow" at-launch, and that its overall writing was not every bit practiced equally the "pitch perfect" Tales from the Borderlands, and "[read] like teenage tiffin table improv circa The Spy Who Shagged Me."^[62]
