What this game is

Borderlands 3 is the flagship looter shooter from Gearbox Software: the first time you fire a pistol, the second time a rocket-launcher shotgun with acid damage, the third time a rifle that shouts insults when you reload. More than one billion generated weapons is not marketing exaggeration, but honest math of stat combinations.

Choose one of four Vault Hunters: Amara strikes with fists from another dimension, Moze summons the giant battle mech Iron Bear, Zane juggles gadgets and creates decoys, FL4K goes into battle with loyal pets. Each character has three independent skill trees with dozens of build options.

The story spans several planets: Pandora, Promethea, Eden-6, Athenas, each with its own visual style and enemies. The main villains, the twins Tyreen and Troy Calypso, are part of the series story, but the game is fully accessible to newcomers with no knowledge of previous parts.

Co-op for up to 4 players online with independent loot: everyone gets their own weapons, no one is left out. Six story and gameplay DLCs (Season Pass 1 + Season Pass 2 + Director's Cut) significantly expand the campaign. Russian text and subtitles are official, there is no Russian voice-over.

A co-op looter shooter with billions of weapons. Four Vault Hunters against galactic villains, solo or in a team of up to 4 players.
