Borderlands 3

Description

Borderlands 3, a vibrant and chaotic first-person shooter released in 2019, is the fourth main entry in the popular looter-shooter series developed by Gearbox Software. Known for its distinctive cel-shaded graphics, irreverent humor, and near-endless array of procedurally generated weapons, the game allows players to step into the boots of one of four unique Vault Hunters on a quest to stop the fanatical Calypso Twins from seizing ultimate power. The gameplay blends fast-paced shooting with RPG elements, including skill trees and character abilities, and encourages cooperative play as players traverse various planets, each with its own environments, enemies, and challenges. Within this universe, the side mission "Malevolent Practice" offers a glimpse into the disturbing experiments conducted by Troy Calypso. Initiated by speaking with Sir Hammerlock on the planet Eden-6, the mission takes place within the confines of The Anvil, a former prison. Hammerlock reveals that Troy is using his old prison gang members as subjects in his twisted quest for power, creating formidable foes known as the Anointed. The core of "Malevolent Practice" involves searching for clues to locate Hammerlock's missing associates. The search begins with finding an ECHO tape near a stone block. Further exploration leads to an encounter with an Anointed Duo, providing insight into the Anointed's creation – prisoners warped by Troy's failed experiments. Anointed enemies are tough, often featuring high health, teleporting abilities, and immunity to cryo damage. Defeating the Anointed Duo and collecting a clue from one of them pushes the investigation forward. The hunt for clues continues, leading to Anointed X-4, a boss located on a platform. Upon defeating this Anointed and retrieving the third clue, players proceed to search Dean's cell for the final clue, another ECHO recording. Finding Dean triggers the appearance of the Anointed Alpha, the mission's boss. This armored enemy presents a significant challenge with its barrier summoning and laser attacks. Defeating the Anointed Alpha allows the player to interact with a console, freeing Dean and completing the mission. The rewards for completing "Malevolent Practice" include experience points, cash, and the unique Jakobs pistol, the Dead Chamber. This pistol boasts a special reload buff, increasing its damage at the cost of accuracy, making it a situational but potentially powerful weapon, particularly at close range where its ricocheting bullets are effective. Its unique reload animation and flavor text also offer subtle nods to other media.
