About this game

Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite is a free downloadable content release for Borderlands 3. It is the first in a planned series of Takedowns, special endgame missions designed to challenge up to four players at the level cap.

Borderlands 3 is a first-person looter shooter set seven years after the events of Borderlands 2. Players select one of four new Vault Hunters and travel across multiple planets to stop Troy and Tyreen Calypso, twin cult leaders seeking to harness the power of alien Vaults scattered throughout the galaxy. The game features procedurally generated weapons, cooperative multiplayer for up to four players, expanded skill trees with multiple action skills per character, and new traversal mechanics including sliding and mantling.

Seven years after the defeat of Handsome Jack, twin siblings Troy and Tyreen Calypso have formed the Children of the Vault, a violent cult built from Pandora's bandit factions. The twins, both Sirens born conjoined, seek to absorb the power of alien Vault monsters across the galaxy and open the Great Vault, a prison containing an interdimensional creature called the Destroyer. A team of new Vault Hunters, recruited by the Crimson Raiders and their leader Lilith, must pursue the Calypsos across multiple planets, forging alliances with old friends and new while racing to prevent the twins from unleashing a force capable of consuming the universe.
