What does "event" mean

My guess is that it's a time limited Halloween event with some textures replaced with pumpkins and such.

It sounds like it'll be a yearly themed event just like Overwatch has. Themed stuff to do that's only available for a few weeks around Halloween. No idea if that means completely new areas/enemies/quests just for the event, or if they'll just throw pumpkin heads on the psychos and call it a day. Still, I'd expect a bunch of Halloween themed cosmetics; maybe some unique guns but they probably don't want to lock anything too gameplay affecting inside a timed event. We'll probably get Mercenary Day around Christmas and a handful of other events throughout next year.

The cynic in me can imagine that a deal was struck to cross promote Borderlands 3 in Fortnite in exchange for time limited content so people would be less inclined to wait for the Steam release.

I think the only time Fire has been super good was in the Zombie Island DLC.

It's also good in the Commander Lilith DLC. Literally burns right through those massive plant-monster health-pools.

Guardian ranks look nuts. Every character can get Salvador's Overkill skill. Also if it stacks then C-C-Combo looks like it could be nuts with an infinite shooting Moze build.

Mayhem mode looks cool but the Mayhem 3(and maybe even Mayhem 2) modifiers could completely cripple specific builds.

Specifically:
The box include 5? vault keys we have not seen before that we probably find in the game

To be fair it seems reasonable to infer there would be more vault keys.

Isn’t the premise that you’re racing the calypso twins to a bunch of vaults on several planets?

I think most of us were expecting four or five Vaults like in a BioWare game, though, not more than fifty.

As someone who hasn't been paying attention, how does the gun customisation work? Do you break down existing guns to get their parts? Are they unlimited? Can you add special redtext parts?

Is there any customization besides skins? anything else would kinda destroy the entire gameplay loop

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
I don't know, stuff we've seen lets you examine a gun with a breakdown of components, it might just be making it easier to figure out the system.

Oh right, when I saw the breakdown thing maybe I took it too literally. I thought it was a strange inclusion.

Am I a rare breed in that I bank guns that just look cool or that I had a good run with even if they're useless for future encounters?

Stop me if you already knew this, but in 2 every gun and shield, uniques and legendaries too, were randomly generated from a range of parts and part of the grind was learning what parts were what and not just getting X, but getting X with a, b, and c part on it so it was a 'perfect' X.

This new feature looks like it will make it easier to check what parts are on a piece of loot in search of that 'perfect' one. Of course now there's a gently caress ton more parts any given thing can have, yay RNG :smith:

Not at all, that's half my bl2 bank on any given character, if I'm honest.

Have you accepted The Void as your lord and savior?
Nothing in the PAX rundown is bad, though it's kind of a wash if they don't evolve from BL2's loot setup. It's really cool that there's more modes and they're going back to normal DLC after loving everyone on TPS. On the endgame side, though, adding more events doesn't fix the problems with loot/progression.

Which edition are folks getting? I figure I should pull the trigger on a pre-order. I don't imagine id be saving much compared to a separate season pass, and u think the other stuff is all cosmetic?

I found out you can buy it from the 2K store instead of epic -- though you still download it from epic -- so I'm going with that option, since my friends all want to play it now. I might go with the season pass version, haven't decided yet

That's interesting, any word if I can transfer my characters from the windows edition to the steam one? Like how accessible save files are in Borderlands 2/1?

Not sure, but it may be more locked down than BL1/2/TPS because BL3 will ship with Denuvo DRM, according to the Epic Store page. I'm hoping we'll be able to transfer stuff over though. At the very least, Epic and Steam players will be able to play with each other.

Isn't Denuvo ridiculously easy to crack and bypass nowadays?

It's probably just to stop piracy for the first couple weeks, so hopefully it won't be an issue. And yeah, it's usually broken within hours.

I'm planning on waiting for the Steam release too. This game looks great but it will be even better next year after some patches and dlc. It's not like there's a shortage of games to play in the meantime. I just got a free copy of Celeste!

Though to be honest I probably would have waited without the 25% off I got for it at GMG.

Don't judge me.
The Presequel having such lacklustre DLC and season pass made me avoid preordering DLC with any game, and this goes double for a new Borderlands game. So just the normal edition for me.

I got the Deluxe edition without the season pass from Amazon, I'll get the pass later on, I'm not overly fond of paying for phantom content.
