Battleborn

Battleborn is a first-person hero shooter set amid a fight to protect the universe’s last star from a mysterious evil. Players take on the role of one of a large roster of heroes, each with their own weapons, powers, and playstyle. Players can team up for story missions or compete in online team battles. Modes include defending and attacking bases with minions, guiding minions toward an incinerator, capturing map objectives, and collecting Varelsi masks while fighting increasingly tough enemies. Heroes level from 1 to 20 during a mission or match, unlocking choices in their Helix skill trees. Persistent hero ranks unlock augments and skins, while Command Rank advances the player profile and grants loot usable by different heroes.

Choose a distinctive hero, level up during missions, and battle with a team to defend the universe’s last star.
