Takedown at the Guardian Breach Arrives For Borderlands 3

Looks like more action ahead for the Vault Hunters

The game’s latest free content update provides a demanding, high-level challenge for all players. Plus, a new patch modifies Mayhem Mode 2.0, Borderlands 3’s end-game leveling system.

Takedown at the Guardian Breach – a new endgame gauntlet designed to put your skills and gear to the ultimate test – is now available as a free addition to the Borderlands® 3 base game. To see the brand new trailer for Takedown at the Guardian Breach,

This new Takedown is an extreme challenge that scales to the number of players in your party but is intended to push a full party of four leveled-up Vault Hunters to the limit. Together you’ll undertake a reconnaissance mission to the planet of Minos Prime to locate the source of a mysterious Guardian signal. Upon arrival, you’ll be besieged by a sect of rogue Guardians who have irrevocably transformed Minos Prime.

Along with new enemies, low-gravity platforming sections, and environmental puzzles, you’ll have to overcome both a miniboss and a final boss encounter. Should you survive, you’ll be rewarded with a host of new items, including themed weapons, gear, and collectible cosmetics. For screenshots and other assets, please visit newsroom.2k.com.

Today also marks the beginning of Phase 1 in the Borderlands 3 development team’s plan to fine-tune Mayhem Mode 2.0, Borderlands 3’s end-game leveling system. Phase 1 focuses on Mayhem Level stat scaling and gear changes but also brings with it several quality-of-life updates.
