Welcome to video game Valhalla! For anyone cooped up inside, now is the best time ever to tackle your backlog. Those games which have been gathering digital dust in your Steam library, Xbox Game Pass subscription or your PS Plus collection that you were totally going to play as soon as you’d mastered not dying in Dark Souls. The thing is, for all the options I have on my plate at any given time, I’m more content to dig deeper into a favourite game.

Not only can you help medical researchers map the human genome and provide vital research in Borderlands Science, you can earn some amazing rewards to help push your vault hunter crew to the next level.

I think it’s safe to say that Borderlands 3 was a hit. The core game was an addictive grind of loot ‘n shoot fun that sold five million copies in the first week, the DLC has been a welcome extension of the formula and the fandom is very very happy right now. A pity the same can’t be said for the people who made Borderlands 3, as it looks like all their hard work has resulted in them being absolutely stiffed come bonus day.

What begins with a disaster ends with love, sandwiching in a meaty filling of guns, conspiracies and Wendigo testicles along the way in Borderlands 3: Guns, Love and Tentacles. Not a bad way to spend a weekend, when you’re officiating the union between beast and melee attack. I now pronounce you man and knife.

…Still not you! HA! I never get tired of that joke or being able to deliver disappointment so early in the week. A couple of weeks back we got the chance to give away one of the superb Cable Guy Claptrap figures courtesy of the fine folks over at GameFinity and Koodoo. As per Highlander rules, there could be only one winner and that lucky chap is…

Sir Alistair Hammerlock and Wainwright Jakobs are finally tying the knot, and they want you to come celebrate their upcoming nuptials on the ice planet of Xylourgos. Its frozen wastes have thinned out all but the most vicious wildlife, and the eerie town of Cursehaven – where you’ve all agreed to meet – is located beneath the colossal carcass of a fallen Vault Monster.

One thing that could draw players back to Gearbox’s colourful loot ‘n shoot extravaganza? Pure maths! Vault hunters in Borderlands 3 are currently capped to a level 50 character build, one that will soon be expanded on with an increase of an entire three levels come February 13.

This right here, is the Borderlands 3 Claptrap phone and controller holder. In the box, you get a fine replica of the motor-mouthed mascot of the Gearbox franchise, lovingly recreated in resin and sporting a true to character finish. And more!
