Borderlands

Today we will release an update for Borderlands 3, which will be live on all platforms by 12:00 PM PT.

The update contains these quality-of-life features: 

• Players are now able to create a Max Level Character from the main menu once they have beaten the game and have at least one max level character!
• Added an option to auto-sell gear based on rarity from the main menu:
• This auto-sell feature automatically sells gear below your set rarity when picked up. Cosmetics will not auto-sell.
• A note for Mission Gear: Once a mission has ended, any mission reward items offered as a pickup could be automatically sold if auto-sell is enabled. Before completing a mission, the auto-sell option can be set to "None" to avoid possibly losing a mission reward.
• On Steam Deck: Increased font size of text in the Options Menu.

As a borderlands fan I see this as a W

Edit: there is a teaser with a trailer tomorrow.

Last time I checked, wonderlands endgame was terrible. Huge lack of dedicated drops, stupid rare drop chances for anything decent, and like 100 chaos chambers. Idk if anything has been fixed, but I do want to play the game. The gameplay and story imo were great, just the endgame sucked from what I remember. And also, are there any mods that fix the endgame problems if they are still a thing?

After many rumors and leaks , today it has finally been announced that Borderlands 3 will be coming to Switch this year. The official account of the game on

Fantastic value at 60USD

NOTE: Please backup your saves before attempting any of this as it involves modding your game files and that always poses a risk of data loss if things go wrong. Also, there may be some differences between original and remaster that I'll mention.

So the Knoxx DLC is notorious for being a driving simulator and BL1 DLC not having any fast travel stations except for the starting areas makes farming very tedious. Fortunately, there are ways around that on PC:

The "simple" way for Crawmerax and the Crimson Lance Armory

• Download the Essentials Mod by LegX

Remaster/Enhanced version: https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlandsgotyenhanced/mods/7

Original version: https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlands/mods/34

• Extract the WillowGame folder into your installation directory with the same existing folder: eg. a default Steam install should be in \Steam\steamapps\common\BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\

• Go to save data location eg. \Documents\My games\Borderlands Game of the Year\WillowGame\Config

• Open WillowEngine.ini. Search for DefaultGlobalsDefinitionName=gd_globals.General.Globals

• Replace it with DefaultGlobalsDefinitionName=gd_globals_custom.General.Globals

• Launch game

• Open Pause menu -> Options -> Mouse and Keyboard -> Keybindings -> Bind Fast travel to Craw/Knoxx Armory to whatever button

Notes: If you travel with the bind and are done with the area make sure you save quit instead of just traveling to it again as that will not save your current progress\

Also binding Fast Travel UI lets you fast travel from anywhere which is a big QoL improvement.

The manual way for Ajax (and Craw/Knoxx if needed)

• Go to \BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\CookedPC\DLC3\Maps

• Copy dlc3_gondola_p.umap

• Go to \BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\CookedPC\Maps\Arid

• Paste dlc3_gondola_p.umap

• Rename Arid_SkagGully_P.umap to something like Backup_Arid_SkagGully_P.umap for safekeeping

• Rename dlc3_gondola_p.umap to Arid_SkagGully_P.umap

• Launch game

• Fast travel to Skag Gully

• You should spawn within 1 minute of Ajax as shown here

• For Lance Armory and Crawmerax Repeat with dlc3_uberboss_p.umap for Crawmerax and dlc3_lancedepot_p.umap for Armory which can also in found in \BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\WillowGame\CookedPC\DLC3\Maps

Another map you can replace is 'Arid_Cave_P.umap' which corresponds to The Lost Cave. You can use any map as a replacement but those are just the ones I've used before.

Note: the gondola file for Ajax may only work for the remaster or there may be a better one to use for the original if you search the large .umap files for yourself and try each one you might be able to find one that spawns you right in front of his area in the original version of BL1

Genvid Entertainment and Gearbox have announced Borderands EchoVision Live, an interactive streaming series. It's a community-led game where players decide how a story unfolds, similarly to something like Twitch Plays Pokemon.

Twitch does Tales I guess? Not sure who asked for this but who knows it could be cool

Spotted by Gematsu, the Film and Publication Board of South Africa published its classified list of games for April 2023. It includes a listing of The Borderlands Compilation: Pandora's Box for PC and consoles.

Facial expressions are hard. I know.

Borderlands 1 is punishing when you're underleveled and you need to be diligent with sidequests to avoid being underleveled at all times. Abusing a glitch with the Merchant of Death challenge allows you to get 20k XP on demand which is a significant chunk until the late game and can be used throughout the playthrough if done properly.

Steps:

1. Have at least 150k (Guide for early money) and the Merchant of Death challenge not yet completed (Sell 1200 items)

2. Empty your inventory as much as possible (ideally all minus your equipped slots)

3. Go to a health vending machine

4. Purchase as many 'Minor Healing Kits' as you can

5. Sell the kits (Do not buy them back)

6. Repeat until 1199 items have been sold (Check the challenge progress in menu under Cassette icon -> Challenges/Medal tab)

7. Purchase 1 more kit

8. Sell the kit

9. Buy it back (Otherwise you won't be able to repeat the challenge)

10. Pause menu -> Exit (quitting to main menu while saving progress)

11. Re-enter game and repeat steps 7-10

[Note: when you load into the game you need to wait at least 30 seconds before you save quit for the game to force a save. Otherwise, your progress won't be saved if you quit out again too early]

When you buy back the last item needed to complete the challenge, the challenge itself goes back to being at 1199/1200 after you have already gotten the 20k XP which is what allows you to do this over and over again each time you save quit and re-enter.

Bonus: How not to wreck your hands doing this

If you're on PC, you can avoid spamming the enter key 2400 times by installing AutoHotkey and using this script:

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

Shift::
Send {enter 15} 
return

This makes your Shift key do 15 instant Enter presses (you can adjust that number to match your free inventory space). Doing this can let you get to 1199 much faster than manual and takes less effort.

You can use the DLC Fast Travel station in Fyrestone to go to the T-Bone Junction map, farm the 2 accessible chests and sell the loot to buy the max SDUs for each weapon type and start the game with max ammo. This also helps you set up for the Merchant of Death glitch which lets you get a lot of XP on demand throughout the playthrough.
