Borderlands 3has been a big commercialsuccessfor Gearbox Studios. The game soldtruckloads of copiesin its first few days on store shelves. And the team has steadily been following that up with a free, post-launchcontent drip feedthat’s helped keep players interested. On the latest episode of TheBorderlandsShow, the studio pulled back the current on the next package of content. TheTakedown at Maliwan’s Blacksitewill task players with taking on one of the gun manufacturer’s most heavily-guarded facilities.
Unlike seasonal events, these new Takedowns are permanent additions to the game. The only requirement is to finish the main campaign; however, Gearbox stressed that you might want to load up on full Legendary loot before trying to tackle these challenges. These Takedowns are geared around you having a squad of four, high-level Vault hunters, so don’t expect to waltz through on your own. Of course, public matchmaking will be available, so if you don’t have a team you run with, you’ll still be able to fight through the content.
Maliwan Blacksitefeatures an all-new map and three bosses to take down. Importantly, there will be exclusive loot to the Takedown. Vault Hunters can find some of the best shields in the game and new cosmetics as they mow down Maliwan soldiers. The mode will take about 30-45 minutes to complete, so don’t expect to hop in-and-out too quickly. Hopefully, these are bigger and better versions of the Borderlands 2 raid bosses. Those were always fun to take on with a team, and fleshing them out seems like a great idea.
Borderlands 3is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. TheTakedown at Maliwan’s Blacksitewill come into the game on November 21. Gearbox is also currently running a Shift code promotion to get some spooky character heads for Halloween.
