Following the previous DLC, "Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot" and "Guns, Love and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock," Gearbox and 2K Games are set to release the third DLC for Borderlands 3 on June 25th, titled "Bounty of Blood: A Fistful of Redemption".
The DLC will launch across all platforms, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia, and is included in the Borderlands 3 Season Pass, as well as with the Super Deluxe Edition of the game.
However, before all of that, Gearbox will unleash a new new endgame gauntlet, "Takedown at the Guardian Breach," which will launch as a free content update on June 4th.
In "Takedown at the Guardian Breach," Tannis wants to send you on a reconnaissance trip to the planet of Minos Prime so you can track down the source of a mysterious Guardian signal. Upon arrival, you’ll be besieged by a sect of rogue Guardians who have split off from their brethren and have irrevocably transformed Minos Prime. Along with hordes of new enemies, you’ll have to overcome a miniboss and a final boss encounter, similar to the structure of the first Takedown. Should you survive, you’ll be rewarded for your heroic efforts with a host of new item drops, including themed weapons, gear, and collectible cosmetics.
In “Bounty of Blood: A Fistful of Redemption," your Vault Hunter will be interacting with a cast of characters you’ve never crossed paths with before, all as part of a story being shared by an unseen narrator.
You’ll travel to the harsh desert planet of Gehenna to claim a bounty on The Devil Riders, a vicious gang of bandits mounted atop fearsome beasts. The Devil Riders have been terrorizing the small town of Vestige, and you’ll have to team up with the locals if you want any hope of administering some frontier justice.
"Bounty of Blood" will also feature a customizable Jetbeast hoverbike, which is half jetbike, and half creature, that’ll help you traverse the open plains of Gehenna in a hurry. It can be outfitted with artillery like dual machine guns or mortar weapons. There’s also a slew of interactable objects found only on Gehenna that will aid you in combat and exploration, such as Traitorweed, which can temporarily turn enemies into allies.
More details will be revealed at a later date. In the meantime, check out some concept art the latest episode of The Borderlands Show, which provides world-first looks at both "Takedown at the Guardian Breach" and "Bounty of Blood".
