After celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Borderlands with several events such as the Rare Spawn Hunt, Gearbox Software has released new trailer for the next event for Borderlands 3, Bloody Harvest. The event starts later this week on October 24 and will run through December 5. To participate in the Bloody Harvest, players will have needed to progress far enough in the story to have unlocked Sanctuary III.
Originally announced in September, the Bloody Harvest event has players traveling to a new location called Heck by taking on new Haunted enemies and collecting Hecktoplasm. Haunted enemies cause a Terror debuff that reduces the field of vision and makes aiming more difficult. Once they are in the new area, players will also have to fight Rakk-O-Lanterns and go toe to toe with Captain Haunt.
Rewards for Bloody Harvest include new cosmetics, a new ECHO device skin, a global weapon skin, a new shield, a new grenade mod, and two new weapons, one of which is called the Fearmonger. Unlocking these items is done by completing a new set of challenges that are exclusive to Bloody Harvest. Cosmetic items are unlocked by completing a certain number of challenges. Enemies in Heck will drop gear that is only available during Bloody Harvest. Other weapons will also play with the Terror debuff.
Bloody Harvest is actually part of Gearbox’s 10-year anniversary which began this month. Every week, a new event took place in Borderlands 3. The first event was Bonus Boss Loot where most bosses have an increased chance to drop Legendary Loot. Rare Spawn Hunt had more Rare Spawns appear more often with an increased chance to drop better loot. the week 3 event was called Show Me The Eridium provides cosmetic items and Anointed weapons in exchange for your Eridium stash. Mayhem on Twitch increased the drop rates for Anointed gear and included an additional Twitch related component to the event.
