Borderlands 3 Director's Cut Brings New Raid Boss, Vault Cards & More

Gearbox's Borderlands 3 Director's Cut DLC will bring a new raid boss, new vault cards, and much more. The Director's Cut is a follow up to the Designer Cut DLC that launched back in November. Like its predecessor, the Director's Cut DLC will be adding hours of content for dedicated Borderlands 3 fans.

Borderlands 3 released late in 2019, and Gearbox (who was recently purchased for $1.3 billion, by the way) has been steadily releasing new content for the looter shooter. The Designer Cut was the first DLC from Season Pass 2, (following an also jam-packed Season Pass 1) and brought with it a new, standalone game mode: Arms Race. Arms Race alone added on hours of extra content and gives vault hunters chances to find legendary loot, and that is not mentioning the other additions included the Designer Cut.

Now, a new Borderlands press release has announced several more new add-ons via the new Director's Cut DLC. The post starts by introducing a new raid boss, "Hemovorous the Invincible: a gargantuan Varkid who drops some of the best loot in the game (provided you can actually kill her)." Hemovorous is poised to be one of the more challenging bosses in Borderlands 3, as the press release notes, "her fearsome strength scales with both your character level beyond 35 and your active Mayhem Mode level." Hemovorous' lair is tucked away behind a locked vault on Pandora that requires 500 Eridium to open, but the rewards for defeating her sound more than worth it.

Outside of the Hemovorous raid, the Director's Cut DLC also adds a series of story missions centered around Ava attempting to solve several paranormal murders. The missions will send players back to several planets to investigate the strange happenings while Ava documents the findings in a serialized podcast format. The Director's Cut also introduces Vault Cards, "three new challenge-based progression tracks that will unlock a bevy of themed cosmetics plus some supremely powerful gear that scales to your level." The first vault card launches with the Director's Cut, while the other two will release at some point later this year.

The DLC does not release until March 18, however, players can bide their time with the return of Broken Hearts Day, a seasonal event set to run from February 11 to February 25. Rewards include recolors of last year’s cosmetic rewards and two Legendary weapons (vault hunters can opt out of the event’s effects if they want). The press release concludes with a new SHiFT code, "WSCBB-BFCZZ-WX56Z-RJJBJ-S3WCW," which can be redeemed from now through February 28. Players on next-gen consoles can also indulge in the new four-player split-screen mode that was recently released. For fans of Borderlands 3, the next few weeks will be packed with content and meaningful things to do, but the codes have expiration dates so vault hunters should get on that while they can.
