Description

Test your mettle against the most fearsome of all Varkids. Her name has long been whispered in blood-soaked legend; now Hemovorous the Invincible has awoken. This colossal raid boss has made her lair on Pandora, and only the fiercest big game hunters have a chance of kicking her chitinous butt in the pursuit of top-tier loot. Better bring some friends to this fight and be ready to get caked in Varkid guts—it's going to get messy!

Meanwhile, Ava is convinced she has a lead on some potentially supernatural slayings and has decided to document her findings in serialized podcast form. Consider yourself her gun-toting co-host as you investigate strange happenings on Pandora, Promethea, Eden-6, and Nekrotafeyo in search of answers (and loot) with the help of some familiar faces.

In the Director’s Cut, Vault Hunters can scour the galaxy to solve a string of murders, score loot with three new Vault Cards, and enjoy never-before-seen insights into the development of Borderlands 3. You can also peruse Borderlands 3's beginnings, bloopers, and cut content with a compilation of behind-the-scenes selections. And that’s not all! You can also explore a gallery full of concept art, storyboards, lost maps, and footage of Borderlands 3 from throughout its development.

Included in the Director’s Cut are three Vault Cards, which are your ticket to upcoming bundles of themed loot! The Vault Cards can be activated and leveled up to unlock a bevy of cosmetics plus some supremely powerful gear. When multiple Vault Cards are available, you'll have the option to select which one you want to be active.

This content requires Borderlands 3 to play and is included in Season Pass 2.

What's New
  • Go toe-to-pincer with Hemovorous the Invincible, a gargantuan Varkid raid boss who drops some of the best loot in the game (provided you can actually kill her)
  • Visit new locations on multiple planets to investigate a series of seemingly paranormal murders and help Ava launch her Mysteriouslier podcast
  • Enjoy a collection of behind-the-scenes content from Borderlands 3's development, including concept art, storyboards, clips, and more
  • Work your way through three Vault Cards featuring themed loot and powerful gear! Collect tons of added cosmetics, including new Vault Hunter Heads and Skins, weapon skins and trinkets, lively emotes, ECHO Device skins, and room decorations to display proudly aboard Sanctuary III

It saddens me that no matter which company I look into, all of them keep pushing for shady, predatory and anti-custumer practices. I played Borderlands 1 on PS, played Borderlands 2 on PS and loved it so much I actually

So we have now a Directors, Designer etc cut. Really they try to milk the playerbase dry with low effort content. It feels like content just cut from the game solely to sell it here. The main game is already totally

you're buying stuff that should've been in the game since day one like a raid boss and a cutscene that would make a unlikable character not so unlikable also some side missions, really a waste of money

For the price the additional content isn't worth the asking price. I feel as if this content should have been included in the Seasons Pass but Gearbox games has a bit of a reputation for nickle and diming games post

The jazz tracks on the Mysteriouslier questline are marvelous pieces of work. Alas even here the game fails to deliver with having Ava babble with her annoying voice and nonsensical dialogue. If I hadn't gotten this for
