Borderlands 3’s upcoming Takedown at Maliwan’s Blacksite is a free end-game raid

Though they by no means as soon as use the phrase “raid”, I’m deploying it to speak about Borderlands 3’s upcoming Takedown at Maliwan’s Blacksite. It’s a brand new chunk of looter-shootering coming in November, and a free and everlasting mission for individuals who have accomplished the principle game. It’s a high-level space with robust enemies and managers, and bespoke loot to seize. It sounds awfully like a raid to me.

It was introduced throughout the Borderlands Show, which is over 90 minutes lengthy and due to this fact actually not one thing to be writing up earlier than lunch. Luckily, there’s a blog to peruse, and I’ve kindly linked to the particular space within the video beneath after they begin chatting about it.

It will solely unlock when you’ve got a full playthrough underneath your belt. It’s balanced for four-player groups at degree 50 and above, and takes place in a secret Maliwan lab. It’s filled with high-specced elemental enemies, together with new invisible troopers, and a cool boss mech known as “Wotan the Invincible”, which sounds very overpowered to me. I hope it’s only a title. New enemy variants exist on larger issue ranges as nicely. To reward gamers courageous sufficient to tackle Maliwan’s secret troops, the loot is tuned to drop a few of the finest shields you’ll ever see in Borderlands 3. That’s good as a result of if there’s one factor my coop buddy retains telling me it’s that I ought to cease dying on a regular basis.

It’ll be the primary of many Takedowns. Each one is trying to be 30-40 minutes to play, so it’s lengthy, but additionally not a dedication, and so they’re constructed to be replayed. It’s out on Nov 21.
