Borderlands 3

Play as one of four Vault Hunters on a journey across multiple planets to pursue Vaults and stop the Calypso Twins and their cult from claiming a powerful prize. Fight enemies in first-person combat, collect weapons and gadgets, and customize your character through distinct abilities, skill trees, and gear. Each Vault Hunter supports different playstyles, with room to refine a build as you progress. Explore varied environments, take on missions, and gather stronger equipment from combat.
