Borderlands will be kicking off a month of celebrations in October. The party is simple: Rock up to revel in ten years of Borderlands, earn rad loot. Every week will have a different event, with various prizes up for grabs. Here’s what the schedule looks like according to Gearbox.

Despite Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford claiming that Baker “turned down” the role, new information has come out that Gearbox refused to work with his union.

After a few weeks of coasting on hotfixes, the first proper Borderlands 3 patch has arrived and is ready to begin fixing some of the issues that have been plaguing players.

Borderlands 3 may have a campaign whose main appeal lies in an ever-increasing power fantasy and chance to respec yoself before you wreck yourself, but Gearbox is looking to add a little variety to the spice of life that is the latest sequel to the OG loot ‘n shooter. Such an event kicks off soon, as the latest Borderlands 3 livestream revealed more details on the upcoming Bloody Harvest event that’ll add some spookiness in October.

Borderlands 3 may be a braindead story of already dead on arrival memes and a cast that is largely forgettable (Save for Tannis, I still love you for being my socially inept spirit animal), but it’s easily the most satisfying power fantasy of the year thanks to its amazingly tuned gunplay and a sophisticated flow of action that picks up the juvenile slack.

There’s no denying that Bungie’s Destiny took plenty of inspiration from Gearbox’s best franchise, albeit in a way that allowed them to put their own spin on the quest for guns, power and refunds. So naturally, a good couple of years after Destiny launched, Borderlands 3 had to make a sly reference to the game which followed in its footsteps.

There’s a load of fantastic guns in Borderlands 3, ranging from assault rifles which can vomit out low yield nuclear grenades when their bullets make an impact to rocket launchers which spit out flaming skulls of destruction with every pull of the trigger, but finding them requires some proper effort on your part. Or you could just say bugger that and farm an exploit.

Borderlands 3 is out, and while the game has a myriad of problems including sometimes iffy performance on PC and consoles (don’t even try playing split-screen yet), it’s undeniably fun. There are great quality of life improvements, the gunplay is frankly phenomenal and the game has more already outdated memes and pop culture references stuffed into it than 9gag.
