Borderlands® 3 ‘Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck’ Campaign Add-on Revealed

Borderlands 3’s fourth add-onlaunches September 10, along with a free level cap increase. See the official reveal trailer now!

Say goodbye to sanity as you know it, Vault Hunters! Borderlands^® 3’s fourth campaign add-on – Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck – launches September 10. Take a peek inside the mind of a psycho by catching the official reveal trailer now.

Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck dares to ask: what makes the bloodthirsty psychos of Borderlands so uniformly deranged? Brilliant scientist Patricia Tannis believes they’ve been driven insane by the knowledge of a mythical place she calls “Vaulthalla,” and the key to uncovering this legendary location lies within the mind of Krieg, the most badass psycho of them all. So naturally, Tannis is sending you on a mission into Krieg’s chaotic mind in search of clues. Only by surviving the perils of Kreig’s twisted inner world can you reap the rewards of Vaulthalla.

Help both sides of Krieg’s dual psyche process his traumatic memories by blasting his inner demons to bits, and try not to succumb to lunacy inside Krieg’s fractured mindscapes as you:

• Journey through the many demented vistas of Krieg’s psyche, where anything is possible and likely very violent;
• Experience the world as Krieg sees it, including his perception of fan-favorite characters like Maya – the light of his twisted life;
• Overcome a vast array of life-threatening manifestations that Krieg’s mind conjures up;
• Expand Krieg’s mind and Tannis’ research in surreal side missions and Crew Challenges;
• Score powerful Legendary weapons and gear that will still work outside of Krieg’s consciousness, according to Tannis;
• Acquire brain-busting cosmetic items, including Vault Hunter Heads and Skins.

Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck is included in the Borderlands 3 Season Pass, though a copy of the base gameis required to play.

Not a Season Pass holder? Don’t worry – September 10 also marks the arrival of the next level cap increase, which will be free to all Borderlands 3 players. The cap will increase by five levels, making 65 the newest highest level for gear and player characters. Not only is this the largest single level cap increase since launch, it’s also the last planned level cap increase – at least for the foreseeable future.

Also, don’t forget the ongoing Borderlands 3 Anniversary Celebration continues through September 10. A new mini-event will be activated each week to celebrate one full year of total mayhem. Still to come: Mayhem Made Wild offers all Easy modifiers in Mayhem Mode and will run from August 27 through September 3. Then from September 3 through 10, enemies will drop more in-game cash during the final mini-event: Making It Rain.

Featuring a truly free-form blend of weapons and powers that will turn you into a superhuman god of the battlefield, OUTRIDERS is an aggressive, intensely brutal RPG-Shooter experience that challenges you to define your playstyle and master the synergies between your powers, class builds and equipment. Play alone or team with up to two other players and create deadly combinations as you journey across the dangerous and hostile planet of Enoch.

“The Techomancer is an exciting and flexible class that can be built as anything from crowd control focused support, to a high-powered artillery heavy damage dealer. They’re a great addition to any team of OUTRIDERS”, said Bartek Kmita, Creative Director at People Can Fly. “Co-op in OUTRIDERS is an intense and challenging experience that allows for a great variety of team synergies and power combinations. Players will need to truly master their team tactics in order to take on the toughest challenges in the game”.

LONDON, ONTARIO, CA – August 26, 2020 – Canadian developer and publisher Digital Extremes is thrilled to present Warframe® players with its third open world expansion, the grotesque and the beautiful Heart of Deimos, available for free on PC, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One today. Heart of Deimos for Nintendo Switch is still in the certification process and will be available later this week.

Heart of Deimos is a trifecta of incredibly rich Warframe content. The expansion offers the Cinematic New Player Introduction directed by Dan Trachtenberg, the incredibly deep customizable Helminth System for mid- to end-level players, and a densely packed, story-driven open world in which all players can team up, fight, level up, and explore an alien-infested moon.

By answering the intriguing Entrati faction’s distress call, Tenno can delve into the new Deimos story Quest to discover the trouble beneath the surface of Deimos and unlock 2020’s second Warframe, the imaginative, community-designed, gender-neutral Xaku. Players can pilot upgradeable, customizable, powerful mechs (“necramechs”) to blast through hordes of new Infested enemies and they can blaze across the landscape on Infested K-Drives (“Velocipods”) that now combine hoverboard mobility with shooting firepower for a whole new combat dynamic. And, with today’s update, both Necramechs and shooting on K-Drives immediately will be available in all three open worlds. 

For more details on Heart of Deimos, visit www.warframe.com/deimos.

Download Heart of Deimos on Warframe PC, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One now for free, and later this week on Nintendo™ Switch.
