Borderlands 3 is an action role-playing first-person shooter video game developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. It is the sequel to 2012's Borderlands 2, and the fourth main entry in the Borderlands series. Borderlands 3 was released on 13 September 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. A Google Stadia port has been confirmed for a later release date.
Players complete quests and side missions, in single-player or multiplayer, as one of four classes. When killed, enemies may drop weapons and gear which can be equipped. New abilities are unlocked as the player gains experience. Unlike previous games, the levels of Borderlands 3 take place on multiple planets. The plot is centered around stopping the cult-leading twins Troy and Tyreen Calypso from harnessing the power of the alien Vaults spread across the galaxy.
Borderlands 3 is a loot-driven first-person shooter. Players, either playing alone or in parties up to four people, make a character from one of four classes available, and take on various missions given out by non-playable characters (NPCs) and at bounty boards to gain experience, in-game monetary rewards, and reward items. Players can also gain these items by defeating enemies throughout the game. As the player gains level, they gain skills points to allocate across a skill tree. The game introduces four new playable characters: Amara, a "Siren" who summons ethereal fists; Moze, a young "Gunner" who rides the mecha Iron Bear; Zane, an "Operative" with a variety of gadgets; and FL4K, a robot "Beastmaster" who summons creatures to aid in fights. Unlike previous Borderlands games where each character had only one unique skill that operates on a cooldown, each character in the new game can unlock three unique skills, though only one (or in Zane's case, two) can be equipped at a time, greatly expanding the number of potential character builds a player can make. - เกม
Hey guys! I'm sure this video is a surprise to a lot of you! I'm coming back to TH-cam to make regular content :) Borderlands 3 is the first game I want to cover, but we'll be exploring other games this fall too. If you have any recommendations on how to make the video better, this is the first one so I'd love to hear them! Thanks so much for watching and thank you for your continued support!!! See you on the next one
Welcome back bro!
It's great to see you back on TH-cam! :)
I’m so happy you are doing Boarderlands now man. Welcome back bro!
So glad to see you back JV. You were keystone in my FO4 days. Tips and tricks... your forte! Stay excited!
JV2017gameplay welcome back!!
DO NOT choose which weapon you use by their level; some guns absolutely shred, but have a very low level! Instead, use the Handsome Jack target to the left and below of Marcus’s ship on Sanctuary. This way, you can simulate how a weapon works and feels!
He's right I'm level 45 and I got a level 22 smg 46 x 3 damage, 100% bonus and it's a 66 clip shreds level 45s
until you get to lvl 72 at least
"Mouthpiece, the very 1st boss you face"
Sad shiv noises
I thought everybody did all missions in this game no kidding, side missions should never be skipped first playthough, they are so quirky and fun most of the time! and ofc: great rewards!
and I think most if not all side quests give you a red text equipment
I think a few people recommend skipping the side missions till you finish the campaign since they scale with level. Then after the campaign you can come back and do them to help grind from 30 ish to 50 and get better loot
I try to do every side mission I can find, and complete all of the challenges and explore every map, except collecting the typhoon chests. I'm about 40 hours in and have only just finished the Maliwan-Atlas story bits.
Actually, the rewards are usually fairly sup-par for the first playthrough given the speed of leveling and the short replacement time. TTK goes down significantly for most weapons as you level beyond them
I like to do the play thru and some side missions but usually the first play thru, then on the 2nd I like to do all side missons.
Lots of good tips, but the vehicle-as-fast-travel-point is a game changer, man. Massive big ups and shouts out for that one! Subbed.
I’ve never rushed through a Borderlands game, constantly exploring checking anything and everything. It’s both essential and fun and very rewarding. Some great tips, especially the fast travel.
Same
Every single mission. Every crew mission. 100% the region. No other way to go. So nice to always have the good gear that you get, it adds to the narrative of the story immensely, and keeps you a solid level or two above everything but the bosses.
I did a few (maybe 3-4?) throughout my first playthrough and had 0 issues with xp or getting guns.
@@techjunkie133
Right i haven't even 100% ONE zone and im still cutting through everything like hot butter
It’s been 7 years.... I’m slow playing every moment , up to and including checking out posters and stuff on shelves etc.
Tip #11 - When you first access a new map, even at the very beginning of the game, search out the 3 Typhon logs and the chest afterwards. If you wait, and go through the story like I did, the levels of the loot from the Typhon chest will be stuck to the low level of the enemies on the map. I got to lvl 27 thinking "I will just go back and do all of these extra things towards the end of the game". Bad idea with the Typhon Logs, unless you want Lvl 7 stuff at level 25-35.
Unless you're on mayhem 3 in which case it's fit to the players current level.
Hey man! I’m confused by your statement. Should I grab the Typhon Logs immediately or wait? They don’t scale to level, is that what youre saying? I’m in only the second major area and haven’t grabbed one yet so I just wanted clarification on that. Appreciate it!
@@Theleastofusofficial they do not scale to level. Seriously though, with most of them, it's more trouble than it's worth anyway. Unless you have to have 100% of everything, I would do them only if they are in your path. Some of them are a pain in the ass
I guess from the Fallout series onwards I am a born wanderer I love to explore open maps the same goes. In the Droughts, I was lucky to discover the Typhon logs, three of which are scattered throughout the area. When you get all of them it opens a highly valuable chest which more often than not has two purples and two blues (sometimes it varies). I is definitely worth exploring and doing those side quests.
Your not by yourself sandbox games have freedom an satisfy curiosity they rule😁
Thanks for the tip, Diana. I was in Athenas before I realised this. Hopefully your comment will tip someone off earlier than me. Subbed to your channel.
Ya I'm taking my time doing everything that pops up before story missions. That's my OCD kicking in hahaha.
Anyways I'm having a blast playing. Lvl 10 now and just beat mouthpiece. Happy gaming !
Wow! Didn't know that you could melee the barrels! Thanks for the tip.
Just got BL3 the other day and the barrel thing is clutch
I played 12 hours of borderlands 3 this weekend and I had no idea about the fast travel, that first tip alone made watching this video worth it! Great video ❤️ thanks for the tips
This was my first boarderlands game and I'm only a quarter into the game and I'm enjoying so much that I'm thinking of buying the handsome jack collection.
Wen the 3rd one first dropped I grabbed the first one for $20 (cuz I'm new to the borderlands world) and I really enjoyed it. The 3rd one I bought over the holidays, and I'm liking it as of right now...not loving it. But I'm sure that'll change with more level-ups and time.
If you get the gist of the story (there are vaults, they want to find, bad guys are in the way), don’t bother with the first. It’s basically a beta for 2. If you’re enjoying 3, 2 is a must. The price for the handsome collection is worth it just to get all the dlc for 2. Presequel seems like a huge dlc for 2 rather than its own game. But two is so fun, so charming, so necessary. Gameplay in 3 is better but actual game, world, characters, etc will never be topped from 2. Do it!
1st one has best dlc 2 is pretty cool
I play until im a decent enough level and gear to do the boss fights, if im too low i go back and farm side missions and explore more.
I did not know u can fast travel to vehicles game never told me that.
Nathan I just opened the map and saw the car so I clicked. Gotta click on everything my man!
I just played the mission it does tell you lol
i have over 100 hours in this game and just learned this mechanic through this video lmao
It does tell you, it's just easy to miss
And this whole time I've been running back to mine lol
Playing this for the first time in Oct 2020. Thank you for your help! I don't speed through any game, it takes me several months to finish games because I don't play them all of the time. I usually play at night or in the morning and doing home or car projects during the middle of the day. Love the Backpack info because I pick up everything and search for everything everywhere.
I am a compulsive explorer. I enjoy that aspect as much as the killing/progression aspect. I always explore extensively but I will do side missions just to keep me leveled up enough to handle the playthrough. I like saving the majority of the side missions for second runthrough for the increased LVL of the item rewards. But explore I will.
Very good video. Nice voice, no overly loud music, to the point. I have now subscribed. Thank you.
Excellent tips. Thanks! I do the side missions and explore before I tackle the bosses.
These are helpful to know, can’t wait to play it after work. Thanks JV.
Just learning borderlands. Thx! Me and my boy play together. Very overwhelming at 1st. Were going back and forth on just exploring and doing quest we can reach.
I'm taking my time, and I'm enjoying everything about Borderlands 3!
Hey JV! Really glad to see you passionate about this game! I have enjoyed the whole borderlands series so far and have been following your content for over 3 years now and it’s great to see you enjoying playing games. Thank you for sharing your experiences and keep up your hard work. It is appreciated!
1st playthru,new to series,the immersion into the comic world for this old ass is amazing! Balls deep fun!!
Playing through now, and i can't help but do the side missions. It's fun listening to the characters interact with the world.
Pleasure seeing some new content on TH-cam from you, JV! When I grab BL3 I'll definitely be methodical and get every side quest. The completionist in me couldn't have it any other way!
I'm completely new to the game and franchise, and I find myself doing every single side mission as well. Not only to get more familiar with the game, but because it's just a ton of fun. Really enjoying the loot aspect of the game and all the different weapons. It's kind of overwhelming managing my inventory because of it, haha. Anyways, great video and thanks for the tips.
Not even 3 seconds in and i subbed , your voice is clear and very easy to understand. Ty!!
One of the best Tips vids I've come across. Excellent work, clear, good info, good suggestions.
I did BL1 and BL2. I've always done all the side missions possible before moving onto the main story. I'm in no rush to finish, just enjoying the game. At my lowly level 15, I'm not seeing many legendaries though. I haven't done any farming yet, maybe on the next planet.
I've been seeing the you have mail thing in game! Never found it or thought of it being there. Thanks! Answered a lot of dumb questions I've had.
Awesome video! I just got BL3 and these tips will be very helpful. The last tip really helps because I always stressful trying find which gun is better. I know that the guns had scores, but I didn’t want to assume that higher meant better. Normally I did damage x fire rate for dps, then compare the other stats and perks.
Thank you for the tips. This is my first BL game and I was so lost.
Yea mee too i stay stuck on side missions and areas just looting and farming weapons its soo fun i havent even started the story too much soon as i open a new area i explore every part of it
This was very helpful to me. Having some difficulty but you helped me decide what to toss and what to keep. I'm trying to speed through main mission. But I'm starting to do the side missions to level up so that main mission will be more of a breeze. Thanks much.
I'm excited to explore the new environment. No rush to play through to the finish.
Tip 1 use the Cheddar grenade for backpack space upgrades if you can tolerate losing a grenade
Tip 2 pay attention to the numbers, I've been running an eridean barrel shotgun for ten levels 17-27+ because it does 500burn per second
Great to hear you again matey 👍🏻👍🏻
Great tips! Thanks.
Sometimes when there I need to drop an item to pick something else up, it helps to remind myself that while leveling up, it doesn’t take long to find something much better anyways, so rather then sitting there stressing and trying to decide. Just drop something and move on.
Yes that’s also a great point! I’m starting to do that more too
Yes that’s also a great point! I’m starting to do that more too
Subscribed after the vehicle fast track info. Terrific to know. Very helpful video. Thanks.
I dont do too much sightseeing, but i gather up alot of side missions, and hammer them out all at once, then i continue with my main story :D find alot of fun stuff this way, and i feel like im not rushing, and enjoying my self.
I’ve been really enjoying some of the side missions to the point where I’ve had to remind myself that I wasn’t currently doing the main missions. Loving the game. Not loving the pc lag and glitches. Excellent video btw. Definitely earned a thumbs up from me!
I have two level 10 characters and I had no idea about the manufacturer mail thing I am so glad I watch this show. Thank you so much I was already subscribed but you have just reminded me how good you are to have around
You’re so welcome Brad!! Thanks for sticking around man 😊
Great video. I just bought my copy of your game yesterday and already loving it. Fantastic tips. You just became the 2nd channel I've subscribed to ever. Keep up the great vids and I look forward to all of our journeys thru this game.
Hey guys, so I was fortunate enough to catch BL3 in the PS store on sale and with that, I got the magical epic ultimate upgrade package. I am taking my time and loving the story. I'm definitely struggling with understanding weapon specs and how to utilize their features. I can't wait to go full blown crazy in fights once I've got the moves down. Thanks for the Intel!
I've been focusing on Story missions for the 1st couple planets. Wanted to get to the Ship. Unlocked 3rd weapon slot and Mod Slot.
I’m a Far Cry player and recently played Crackdown, and my husband recommended this for me and I absolutely LOVE it. I usually take my time and try and hit everything in the game while simultaneously playing a main quest for every 2-3 side missions I do.
But the advice about the guns was very helpful since Farcry is limited on weapons compared to this game!
Thanks for this video. It was very helpful. Im looking forward for your series/guides on this wonderful game.
Just bought the game yesterday and your video helped me out very much ! Awesome video, thanks !
Thanks for this video and tips. Very helpful. I’m playing the game on easy with side missions. Once through I’ll play on regular mode straight through.
This game is so much fun (and thankfully not a grind) why blow through the side missions just to get done? I’m enjoying the ride. Thanks! Subscribed for sure.
I am just CRAWLING through my first time with Fl4k. I'm having so much fun finding all of this stuff out myself, discovering every last bit of each map, and every hidden chest. It's been so fun, but I'm still at the very early stages of the game.
Super useful guide ! Answered most of my questions in the game and made me discover new stuff
Welcome back its good to see you're videos again.
Taking my time, getting all crew challenges in each area done as I go, and making Iron Bear a bad@$$. Learning to navigate the challenges screen was a pain, but once you get the hang of it, you can level pretty fast and spend a lot less time running back and forth, plus get some pretty nice weapons and shields.
Don't forget to do crew missions (like the first vault Hunter recordings and dead claptraps) as the vault Hunter has a loot box on almost every level with special items in it...
Thanks for the video , never played borderlands before but friend’s finally convinced me.
Thanku for your articulate style !!! great info,no unneeded fluff...cooleness !!!
Awesome video. Been seeing a lot of the same 10 things you need to know and this actually has many many things I haven’t seen yet.
First time I'm playing BL3, your video was very helpful thanks
I used to fast travel from anywhere in the previous 3 borderlands games lol... You just quit the game and rejoin, it dumps you right next to the fast travel station at the start of the level. I'm glad the made it official now tho
Thanks, that was super helpful.. i"m taking my time too, exploring around having fun
I'm actually planning on doing most of the side quests later when I unlock mayhem more and/or True vault hunter mode. That way the quest rewards will be more to my level and it may even help me level to level 50 and get gear closer to level 50.
Thanks for these tips, new to the Borderlands series, this really helped out! Just subscribed!
Thanks! I didn’t know you can melee barrels. I just assumed they would blow up and kill me like in pretty much every shooter I’ve played 😂
Thanks dude for the tips very helpful for me
I’m loving the game , the guns and sound effects are awesome in surround sound . I’m taking my time as I have RL, work Gf so I’m lucky to get an hour in unless I get a few hours freed up .
The mailbox is also where you'll receive Moxxi weapons when you give her enough tips, she no longer hands them directly to you as she did in BL2. And the pre-order/deluxe loot does match your level when you redeem it, so depending on what it is you may want to wait until reaching a higher level before doing that.
Thanks for the helpful tips!
Get to see you back bro!
Having a lot of fun with this game. On level 20 got the extra content. I am doing all the side missions except the electric man. I am going to go back to him now. hopefully I can beat him. thanks for the help
Hey! Great video bro! I just started playing BL3 and this was some nice info 👍! Looking forward to more videos 😄!!
New to BL and enjoying it solo so far. However it's a heavy game. Alot of variables to consider. This guide is very helpful for me being at the beginning. Thanks!
Hey me too any tips and how you liking it ?
I do everything and really enjoy the game. the side missions give the game so much playability. I forgot how much fun Borderlands can be. Borderlands 3 = Chill Fun - Call of Duty = Anger & Try-Hard Frustration.... Nice vid and looking forward to others.
I am doing my second slide through a quarter of a man's 2 and then even though I did get borderlands 3 when the game was launch. I'm gonna go back and complete all thecide missions. Cause I don't think I did it on the first time. Good information in the video of my friend. Very good.❤
I've played both BL 1 and 2, I have 4 hours on the new one, I just realized the new fast travel thing. Kill me.
10h here lol
I found out about the fast travel thing after finishing the story... and the DLC...
So about 70hrs...
4 hours? I have played borderlands 2 for 144 hours so far, maybe even more since i messed up some saves and sometimes had internet problems... and as you know there is no such a mean of fast travel in BL2, you need to move through ALL of the level to get to fast travels.
Great beginner video tutorial, best one I've seen so far.
So glad I could help!! 😊
Some great tips there, thanks!
Yay! Welcome back JV!
Great video sir thank you. I do all side missions I explore every inch of the map but that's because I'm old grew up playing Dungeons and Dragons and you always poop every room all the time. I didn't know about the Fast Travel I couldn't make it work thank you. If they teach you how to do it apparently level 7 is before that teaching. Looking forward to more videos sir
I’m tackling all the side missions too... more XP, loot and story.
I'm new to borderlands. I just found your channel, thank you. Just subscribed even though they're 4 yrs old they're helping me. Lol!! Very informative.
I'm late to find this video but still learned about punching barrels, I was afraid to melee them in case they just exploded so this bit of info will be useful.
Thanks dude. This was helpful.
Nice video. Good info.
Thanks 👍😎
This is a big hell and I'm new to borderlands franchise but with these tips I should be able to progress faster
TY Javee, nice tip video! Keep it up yo~
Great video JV!
Thank you. This is helpful.
been awhile since I checked out your stuff! great to be back!
Welcome back 😁
Thank you for this! Just bought the game and this will be very useful!
Thanks so much for the video!
Here's what I did upon getting the game. I played through the first three hours with every vault hunter. Basically i got to sanctuary. Level 10.
It gave me a good idea of which character i wanted to play first. I went in thinking Zane was gonna be my guy, turns out its Fl4k.
Also, when i go back to play the other characters, i dont have to go through that 3 hour tutorial again.
Cluckery Duckery how do you switch between characters?
ManiacalMedic i just started a new game with each one. But, using the safe in your room on sanctuary, you can trade items and guns back n forth between all of your characters.
I didn't know about the fast travel thing. Thanks :)
I thought it was like the old games.
Great tips! You should make more BL3 vids
Thanks, you were very helpful.
I have done every side mission and all DLC's for Borderlands 1, 2 and TPS and plan on doing the same for Borderlands 3.
Didnt know you could melee barrels at the enemy. Good stuff.
all very nice tips... thanks!
Thank you friend you help me a lot!!!
I just picked up the game on the PS store sale today. Coming back to this franchise after many years now. Played only the first Borderlands game. Looking forward to it.
