Ever since the release of Borderlands 3 back in September of last year, fans have welcomed the franchise back with open arms. Though, Borderlands is a series that has always provided for its fan community by way of DLC campaigns, online events, and Shift codes being handed out like candy. However, the in-game event happening right now has begun to make several waves within the Borderlands community.
Borderlands 3 is the most recent entry in the Borderlands series and is the first game in the main series to come out in the last five years. Since its release, it has been met with widespread success, especially among fans of the series. The new four playable characters have also been met favorably.
As previously stated, Borderlands is widely known for its additional content. There have already been multiple DLC campaigns released for Borderlands 3 already, but there are also in-game events happening right now that players can take advantage of. Primarily the Door Busters event as part of the Co-Op Loot Drop happening now until April 30th.
Essentially, how Door Busters works is that so long as the player is in a Co-Op game, each vendor will have a legendary item available for purchase. Marcus' Munitions vendors have a legendary gun, the Ammo Dump vendors have a legendary grenade, and Zed's Meds vendors feature both a legendary shield and class mod. This applies to both online Co-Op and local Co-Op.
Part of what makes the Borderlands community so dedicated to the franchise is how active the developers are in terms of giving fans new content to experience. In fact, shortly after Borderlands 3 was announced, 2K and Gearbox announced new DLC for Borderlands 2 that would bridge the gap between the two games. The last DLC campaign pack prior to that was released back in 2013.
Though, part of what made Borderlands 2 such a huge success was how much it varied from the first Borderlands. Every part of the main game reinforced what came before it and continued to expand upon the initial foundation. This largely came in the form of the DLC campaigns for Borderlands 2. So far, the DLC campaigns for Borderlands 3 have been well received, but nothing has quite reached the same heights as Borderlands 2. Hopefully, the subsequent DLC campaigns will feature that same level of creativity and ingenuity.
Borderlands 3Â is available now for Windows, Stadia, Xbox One, and PS4.
