Before the exit Borderlands 3 There is very little left: the release will take place on September 13. And although seven years have passed since the release of the last license plate, the reckless spirit of the “border” remained the same. In BL 3, the developers collected all the best that was in the previous parts, but in the unprecedented scale of the scale: instead of the Gazillion of Variations of the guns, now they promise the basillion, the game world has grown to several planets at once, and this time there are as many as two. But, even if you did not follow the news, or this is your first acquaintance with Borderlands, it does not matter – all the key information about the ambulance you will find in the text below.

Commander Lilith needs your help
The plot of Borderlands 3 starts seven years after the events of the second part. A new threat hung over the world: some Gemini Calipso founded the cult “Children of the Storage”, where thousands of psychos and bandits from all over Pandora and neighboring planets come in without exception. A sister named Tyerin is the central figure of the cult: she is a popular streamer in an echo-network (it is there that she recruits new cultists), and even a siren. But her brother Troy is an ordinary person, but with a bunch of augmentation and a huge combat prosthesis instead of a hand. For some reason, the twins are convinced that the contents of the storage belongs to them by the right of birth; It is in the search for new and new alien treasures that they send members of their cult. But, of course, the old team of scarlet raids, led by Lilith, will do everything to stop the villains. It is for this that she collects a new team of storage seekers.

There will be four on the release of the main characters:
- The operative Zane is misleading the opponents and controls the battlefield thanks to his tactical skills: a holographic copy flying the Drone of the Str 4 and the protective dome;
- Amara siren is able to inflict great damage with the help of its supernatural abilities: for example, a phase blow hits the area around the heroine, the capture stops enemies, and the throw flies in a straight line, knocking down everything in its path;
- MOUZ is a veteran of war and a pilot of the mechanical exocostyum "Iron Bear", which the heroine can tune to taste and call directly on the battlefield;
- Z4LP-robot hunter; Three pets at once at once: Skag, Spider-Moura and Monkey, each with his own separate complex AI.

Unlike the previous parts, where all the heroes had uniform trees of pumping with three branches of improvements, in Borderlands 3, the development of the character will become much more individual. If earlier there was only one active skill of the class, now there are several of them – you can choose and equip the one that is needed at the moment. Zeyn has two slots at once for active skills: you can simultaneously use, for example, a hologram and a protective barrier. The same thing at the MOUZ, but in fact it does not pump herself, but her “bear”: he can put one type of weapon on his hand – an iron fist, a minigan, a rocket launcher, a rail, a flamethrower or a grenade launcher. In addition, one or two strengthening of the active skill are equipped in additional slots, which impose additional effects on the main skill.
In words, all this can sound rather confused, but the developers have prepared a visual example in advance-the Bilds online designer on the official website of the game. To open an interactive pumping tree of any of the heroes, just click on his or her name in the list above.
This is how one of the trees of the skills of the MOUZ looks like. Right – empty slots for skills and augmentation
Pandora (and not only) in the porthole
For the first time in the history of the series, you can travel through several planets! The seekers will begin their adventures on their native Pandora, after which they have to visit Prometheus (Atlas’s futuristic homeland, which was occupied by Malivan), Eden 6 (jammed refuge of the Jacobs clan) and Athena (the sparsely populated and so far the most mysterious planet where Apparently, the secret of sirens and their superpowers are hidden).

We will move between locations on our own ship "Shelter 3", which part-time serves as an intra-game hub-just like a flying city in the second part. Most of the key NPCs live in Shelter-3: here you can meet Lilith Siren, the gunsmith of the Marcus, ready to poke you as many guns and grenades (but no returns!), Dr. Patricia Tannis, hunter Sir Hammerlok, auto mechanic Ellie, an unforgettable bartender of Moxy and, of course, a talkative piece of iron. This time we will even have a personal cabin, the interior of which depends on the chosen character; Additional decor items for your room can be found during the passage. Moreover, in a cooperative you can go to visit the cabins of the Sopartians.

Shoot. Lutai. Shoot the loot?..
Weapons in the Borderlands series are procedurally generated on the basis of hundreds of spare parts pre -prescribed by developers from a dozen manufacturers. Thanks to this, Borderlands 2 had tens of millions of possible variations of weapons – and in the third part we have already promised billions. Of course, it will not be possible to check this in practice, but it is worth waiting for a wide variety of arsenal.
True, the new manufacturer is only one – the same cult “children of the storage”; There are guns that do not need to be recharged – instead they need regular cooling. In addition, new features have added new features that were not before: that there were no before:
- “Dal” now has several ways of firing: automatic, semiautomatic device, bursts, etc.;
- "Hyperion" supplies its weapon with a digital shield, which is revealed when aiming;
- The Atlas produces mainly weapons with self-assembled ammunition;
- During reloading, the Tedim guns can fly into the enemy as a rocket, start rushing around and firing at everything in a row or even transformed into a robot and run on small legs;
- Bullets from the trunks from the Jacobs are ricochet;
- The weapons of “Malivan” now can switch the type of natural damage: there is a choice of fiery, shock, radiation, corrosive and icy;
- Explosive shells from the Torrg guns learned to stick to the surface and explode when the detonator presses;
- The Communists from the "Vladov" added a sub-barrel module to the weapon: it can be, for example, a mini-racetrack or a second barrel for a minigan.
The appearance of the guns is very different depending on the manufacturer
In battle, not only an expanded arsenal will help, but also a new movement system. Now in Borderlands you can make tackles, jump over the fences, pull up on high ledges and even throw explosive barrels into the opponents: for this you just need to kick the barrel towards the enemy and shoot at it.
And where the customization of ground technology became wider: in the third part, not only coloring changes, but also running elements plus weapons. From a conventional jeep on the wheels, you can make a car on induction thrust with a pair of machine guns on board – but in order to get spare parts, you will have to steal the enemy equipment.
And, of course, what a “borus” without a cooperative? As in the previous parts, the entire plot (as, of course, and endheim-content) will be possible to go to the company of up to four people. But in Borderlands 3, the developers “switched” several key cooperation mechanics. Firstly, now each player will receive a unique lutus of his level, so that he will no longer have to argue with the Sopartians about who will get the “legendary” that has fallen from the boss. Secondly, all members of the group will apply significant damage in the coop-regardless of what their pumping level Tropical Wins sister sites they have. Thirdly, if you are a lover of the classics and the old rules of the “boards”, both previous functions can be turned off and continued to play the old fashioned way. And, fourthly, on the console versions of the project there will be a split-scrinal: you want-go a couple with a friend from one sofa.
On the day of the release of Borderlands 3 will appear on PS4, Xbox One and PC exclusively when buying via Epic Games Store. But in Steam the third "Bord" is worth waiting only in six months. But Tim Suini himself confirmed that those who bought the project in EGS will be able to calmly play in a cooperative with users from Steam.
