Pick from four fresh Vault Hunters and travel to new worlds to stop the Calypso Twins, cult leaders who want to unite the bandit clans and seize the galaxy's greatest power. Borderlands 3 is a shooter-looter RPG, and guns are a big part of the draw, with a huge variety to find along the way.
Each Vault Hunter has distinct abilities, a deep skill tree and customization options, so the game plays differently depending on who you pick. You can play alone or team up with friends in co-op, online or over LAN. Gearbox Software developed it, and it has full controller support. It suits players who love loot, irreverent humour and shooters.
