Today, I would like to introduce you to some of the essentials of Borderlands 3 that will be of great help to the gaming experience. Here are 9 tips to help your friends enjoy the game. No spoilers!
1. Equipped with a variety of weapons to avoid running out of ammunition
While there are as many as a billion guns in Borderlands 3, there are only six types of ammunition: pistols, assault rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, and heavy weapon ammunition. In order to ensure the amount of ammunition to carry and avoid running out of ammunition in a pinch, please enrich your weapons. For example, even if you particularly prefer two pistols, it's best to use one and keep the other in your backpack. Do not equip two pistols at the same time, as the ammunition will quickly run out. After leveling up, be sure to ask Marcus on Vault 3 to buy some storage slots to upgrade and increase the amount of items you carry.
2. Use fast movement anywhere
Like previous Borderlands series, Borderlands 3 has fast-moving stations in the region and planets, but its functionality is different! In this game, players can teleport from anywhere to a previously discovered fast-moving station via a map in the Echo device, or even to a recently used vehicle. Of course, it is also possible to teleport to a fast-moving station on other planets. Once you've found a fast-moving station in the Galaxy, you can teleport directly there without having to return to Vault 3 first.
3. It is important to choose the correct elemental damage type in battle
To face different types of enemies, you need to use the right elemental weapons. The right weapon can blow an enemy to pieces, but the wrong weapon can make the enemy bleed. Borderlands 3 has 5 elemental damage types: Fire, Electric Shock, Corrosion, Freezing, and Radiation. The first three damages can deal the highest damage to enemies with the same color as the stamina bar: red for burn flesh fire damage, blue for electric shock damage that weakens shields, and yellow for corrosion damage that can dissolve armor. With the exception of Freezing, all elements can deliver considerable sustained damage.
Frozen and radiation weapons are not specifically aimed at an enemy, but they are still very useful. Frozen weapons can slow down enemies and eventually freeze into ice cubes. It works well when you need to set fire to an enemy individually or limit melee enemies. Radiation weapons can expose targets to radiation, creating a ranged poisonous mist that deals sustained damage and affects nearby enemies. Irradiated enemies will explode when they die, dealing aoe damage at the same time and have a chance to inflict radiation damage on nearby enemies. This creates a chain of radiation that exposes large groups of enemies to radiation.
4. Equip class mods to get more skill options
Class mods are class-exclusive equipment that provides various bonuses when equipped. Usually these bonuses come in the form of skill tree points, allowing you to earn various abilities and buffs without spending points, or to increase the upper limit of a full skill. It's important to note that you can't equip a class mod until you've completed a specific mission on Promethea. If you've started a career module before, you can drop them in a locker in vault for crew room No. 3.
5. Move your position in a desperate fight
After entering the Death Penalty State, successful completion of the kill will save you from the edge of death. But sometimes in a desperate fight you may get stuck in a poor position and not be able to aim at nearby enemies to shoot. In this game, after entering the state of death, all the vault hunters can crawl in order to complete the "comeback" self-rescue with a perfect blow. Friendly NPCs can also save you, and crawling towards nearby friendly characters increases the chance of survival.
6. Use the new Mark Target action to show yourself
Whether you're playing with a voice-chat-enabled friend or teaming up randomly in a multiplayer game, communication is always the key to success. The new Mark Target command in this game will add relevant icons to your goal, so that you can perfectly express points of interest in cooperation. This command is useful when having your team gather mobs, highlight ammo boxes, mark loot chests, or temporarily mark interesting points in your scene.
7. The vehicles encountered are all owned by you
You can explore Borderlands 3 on foot, but take a ride to quickly reach the mission location or point of interest. You can build vehicles digitally at the hitchhiking station at any time. If arrogant robber drivers get too close, they can quickly hijack their vehicles. Some planets even hide some haunted vehicles that appear as purple models on the minimap; if you find these custom vehicles and drive them intact to the hitchhiker station, Ellie can reverse-engineer their modifications so you can use them later. If you need to drive quickly out of the car or rush up the ramp to take off, remember to press the controller lb/l1 key or the left shift key of the keyboard to accelerate.
8. Check your email to receive a weapon manufacturer loyalty reward
Weapon makers throughout Borderlands look forward to your visit, and they're also keeping a close eye on your achievements in Borderlands 3. Once you reach certain milestones using the weapon manufacturer's equipment, you have a good chance of receiving the brand loyalty rewards they offer, which are issued through the in-game mail system. Open the pause menu and go to the "Social" section and click on the "Mail" tab to see the rewards you've earned. Weapons obtained through the Vault Insider Program will also be obtained through the mail system.
9. After completing the main quest, you can also continue to challenge the Restless Infinite mode
On the journey to stop the evil Calypso siblings, they will also encounter a large number of side quests. They have independent storylines and memorable characters that will provide additional experience points and useful loot. If you accidentally miss some missions on the go, and then you are already at a high level, these tasks have lost their challenge significance, and you don't have to worry! When you turn on Restless Infinite Mode, the entire universe will match your current level, making all missions challenging. If you want to test your courage, turn on Restless Infinite mode and head to the Trial Ground and Massacre Round Robin Arena. Once you've cleared the main storyline, You'll unlock Restless Unlimited Mode, so check out the Pax Game Show Unveiling Event for details.
In Borderlands 3, there is still a lot of content to explore for yourself. And these essentials can help you get ahead of the curve in the battle against the Hidden Son.
