• Choosing your Character

  In Borderlands 3 there are four playable characters; Amara, Moze, Zane and FL4K, and each of these Vault Hunters possess distinct skills, dialogue and modes of progression. It is vitally important that you know exactly what each one entails before you make your pick. It is therefore advised that you research both the starting and later abilities of each character before making a decision.

• Use the Mini-Map

  The world of Borderlands 3 is vast and filled with region-specific quests, audio logs and other hidden goodies. Use the mini-map as a guide to ensure you have not missed out on anything. The mini-map will fill in areas you have explored as you pass through them.

• Fast Travel

  As in previous Borderlands games there are Fast Travel stations scattered thoughout the areas and planets you will visit.In Borderlands 3 they are not the only means of warping around as you can now teleport instantly from anywhere to previously discovered Fast Travel stations anywhere in the galaxy or your most recently used vehicle, all via the map in your ECHO device.

• Elemental Weapons

  When facing the various enemies your choice of elemental weapons can make a huge difference in the damage you deal them. There are five elemental damage types in Borderlands 3. These are Incendiary, Corrosive, Shock, Cryo, and Radiation.

  The first three types are most effective when matched to an enemy's colour-coded health bar: Incendiary damage tears through Flesh represented by red health bars, Shock decimates Shields shown as blue health bars, and Corrosive will melt through Armor denoted by yellow health bars. With the exception of Cryo all elemental damage will deal a decent amount of damage-over-time.

Borderlands 3 Cheats and Tips
• Equip Class Mods

  Class Mods are class specific pieces of gear which when equipped will grant you a variety of bonuses. These bonuses come in the form of points on skill trees which enable you to access abilities and buffs that you have not invested Skill points into.

  You will recieve your first Class Mod once you have left Pandora and defeated the boss, Gigamind in the Hostile Takeover story mission. If you find any Class Mods before then, you should store them for safekeeping in your Player Bank found in Sanctuary III's Crew Quarters.

There are several ways in which you can do this; you can digistruct a vehicle at any Catch-A-Ride station, hijack bandit drivers, or search for the purple models that appear on your minimap on some planets.

  If you can reach these custom vehicles and successfully drive them to a Catch-A-Ride in one piece, Ellie will reverse-engineer their modifications for use in your own car collection.
