Borderlands 3 – Biggest update yet released, including photo mode

By

Gearbox has released the biggest update yet for 'Borderlands 3' released, which includes, among other things, a photo mode. Furthermore, it is now available the Bloody Harvest event

Also included is the new Bloody Harvest map, complete with fire-breathing Rakk-O lanterns and a pit of blood-soaked streams where you'll face and defeat your first enemies. These enemies aren't instantly dead, however, but immediately return as ghosts. You'll need to be quick, precise, and skillful with your weapons to finally send these paranormal beings to their doom. Of course, they're not entirely defenseless and will try to obscure your vision with a spooky fog. The reward at the end is Hecktoplasm, which you can exchange for a new character in Sanctuary 3.

Furthermore, a boss fight awaits you against Captain Traunt, also known as Skeleton Captain Haunt, who returns with new and gruesome abilities. If you can banish him back to hell, you'll be rewarded with, among other things, an ECHO Device skin, a weapon trinket, new skins for each Vault Hunter, a global weapon skin, and much more.
