Borderlands 3 (Windows)

Borderlands 3 is the long awaited sequel to the prominent looter-shooter Borderlands 2.

Placeholders#

Leftover Vehicules#

In "Covenant Pass" can be seen four unused vehicules out-of-bounds on the far north-west corner of the map.

Those four vehicules are named respectively asː

  • Vehicule_Technical_2
  • Vehicule_Technical_BarbedWheels_2
  • Vehicule_Technical_6
  • Vehicule_Technical_7

Versions Differences#

Gearbox used 'Pre-Release' versions to showcase specific parts of the game to the public during events. Despite those builds being close to the official game launch, some small differences can still be spottedː

  • The interface was slightly moving while performing some action in-game such as running or jumping.
  • Some legendary weapons had their red text missing or replaced with the 'temp' label.
