The Borderlands Show has begun
Gearbox have announced, through the first episode of ‘The Borderlands Show’ that this October will see Borderlands 3 get spooky, with the Bloody Harvest event, check out the show below.
Everyone can take part in Bloody Harvest when it goes live in October, as it's the first of many free updates and events you can expect from Borderlands 3. For the duration of the event, any Vault Hunters who have departed Pandora for the first time and started exploring the far reaches of space aboard Sanctuary III will start to encounter Haunted enemies around the galaxy. These Haunted enemies are your key to accessing a new event-specific map, but watch out—the Ghosts that rise from the bodies of slain Haunted enemies will do their best to scare you to death. Coming into contact with one of these aggressive apparitions will induce the new Terror debuff, which partially shrouds your vision in a mysterious mist and weakens your gun handling, accuracy, and spread. As you explore the ghost-infested galaxy, you'll earn Hecktoplasm that can be turned in to Maurice, your scaly new pal who's taken residence aboard Sanctuary III.
Should you survive these blood-curdling battles, you'll come face to skull with the Baron of Bloody Harvest himself. If you've been braving the many planets of Borderlands 3's story campaign, you might remember facing off against Captain Traunt, a gigantic Maliwan heavy soldier with some killer elemental attacks. He's back, albeit a bit bonier, as Captain Haunt, complete with some spooky new powers. Any who dare to enter the domain of this monstrous, bone-headed boss should be ready for one hell of a fight.
