This page of the guide toBorderlands 3includesa set of tips for beginners.
We focused on potentially problematic issues and mechanics that haven’t been well explained in the game.
Don’t start quests when your level is too low.
If possible, don’t take part in missions that have a recommended level higher than yours.
InBorderlands 3, the main quests are particularly long.
make a run at look for activities that are relevant to your current level.
Focus on the quests only after the reach the recommended level.
those for quest givers or secrets.
attempt to reach everywhere to have a given map colored almost entirely in blue.
The game may initially block access to some areas on the map.
you might be blocked by, e.g.
an energy barrier or a closed door.
The Item Score does not always correctly reflects the item’s value.
InBorderlands 3,each item is described by the Item Score parameter.
make a run at test a new weapon before getting rid of the previous one.
There is always a risk that something can disappoint and cause great discomfort while using a weapon (e.g.
ammunition consumption is too high and too fast).
When that happens, you could shoot one of the minions running around for an easy Second Wind.
This will allow you to return to the fight without having to start the whole battle from the beginning.
If you notice such an enemy, then have a go at focus on attacking it.
Don’t let this enemy escape.
A successful kill will be awarded with a lot of loot.
You will get a lot of credits and items.
In Borderlands 3, it’s possible for you to perform slides…
The most important use for this action is to avoid enemy fire.
Opponents will have to aim more carefully to shoot the hero who began to slide.
Slides can also be useful for solving minor puzzles.
…and ground pound
Another interesting move available to all characters isa ground pound.
you could use itby pressing the crouch button while you are in the air.
The main use of this move is to deal damage to enemies located on the lower shelves.
It is worth remembering that inBorderlandscharacters don’t receive fall damage.
you’re free to jump down even from on the edge of a cliff.
Ground pound is also useful in solving environmental puzzles.
Similarly to slide, it is required to, e.g.
enter one of the locations that are part ofBad Receptionside quest.
In addition, information about the current mode is displayed in the lower right corner of the screen.
The picture above shows an example of a rifle with activated grenade launcher.
The differences between shooting modes don’t always have to be as radical as in our example.
Changes may concern, for example, whether the gun shoots short bursts or in an automatic mode.
Regardless of the circumstances, we recommend always checking both modes.
For some weapons equipped with scopes, pressing the button fire mode may change the image zoom.
This can be useful, for example, when you are fighting at short or long range.
Each of the Action Skills has a separate development tree, and the choice of skills is never final.
Read more about skills in theCharacter Developmentsection.
Some weapons have their own shields
Some of the weapons may haveWeapon Shield Capacityinformation in their descriptions.
This additional protective shield works independently from the one used by the main character.
It can be activatedby holding the aiming button.
This is a useful feature thanks to which you could get an increased protection.
you might only absorb those attacks that hit the shield.
When you reach one of the Ammo Dump machines, you canpress the Refill Ammo button.
You don’t need to bring up the vending machine’s menu to buy ammunition.
Watch out if your ammunition supplies have been exhausted.
Before returning to the machine, it is worth looking for small crates, which often contain ammunition.
This will allow you to limit overall costs of buying ammunition.
The game allows you to track quests and quickly switch between them
Borderlands 3makes tracking quests easier.
you might also pop kick open the log and snag the mission you want to set as active.
From now on, the main map and the mini-map will display its markings (e.g.
places you have to visit).
An even more convenient method is touse the left and right buttons on the controller’s d-pad.
This allows you to quickly switch between the quests in the log.
give a shot to choose weapons that can deal damage from different elements.
Some weapons can deal damage from two different elements.
You pick the attack punch in by pressing the button for changing the firing mode.
It is good to have at least one such weapon in your inventory.
you’re free to take part in these challenges through careful map exploration.
Their markers will appear on the map as you explore it.
The Crew Challenges include the dead Claptrap parts, audio logs and unique vehicles.
Each challenge is rewarded with XP, credits and eridium (premium currency).
In addition, always take a stab at reach all Typhon Logs.
Inside a large container you will always find a lot of valuable items.
