Chapter 6 - Hostile Takeover | Borderlands 3 | As Moze, Walkthrough, No Commentary

Borderlands 3, a first-person shooter released in 2019, continues the franchise’s legacy of cel-shaded graphics, dark humor, and prolific loot. Players assume the role of one of four new Vault Hunters, each with unique abilities, on a quest to stop the villainous Calypso Twins and their Children of the Vault cult from exploiting alien Vaults across the galaxy. The game expands beyond the familiar setting of Pandora, introducing diverse new planets and enemies, all while maintaining the series' signature blend of shooting and RPG progression, characterized by an endless supply of procedurally generated weapons. Chapter 6, "Hostile Takeover," transports players to the bustling, yet embattled, urban environment of Promethea. The core objective is a race against the Calypso Twins to reach a Vault, requiring an alliance with the Atlas Corporation. However, Atlas is itself under siege from the hostile Maliwan corporation, and the player is immediately thrust into the conflict. Beginning at a suggested level of 12, this mission is significant not only for advancing the main story but also for unlocking the crucial class mod slot for character customization and power progression. The mission opens with a journey to Promethea via a drop pod, facilitated by the returning character Ellie. Upon landing in the Meridian Outskirts, a distress signal leads the player to Lorelei, an Atlas officer facing overwhelming Maliwan forces. Lorelei becomes the player's primary guide through the initial stages, directing them to contact Atlas CEO Rhys and providing a vehicle to navigate the war-torn Meridian Spillways. This journey involves engaging with Maliwan forces, including destroying specific hover wheel technicals to retrieve vital information, a task highlighting the mission’s focus on overcoming Maliwan resistance. A major turning point in "Hostile Takeover" is the liberation of the Watershed Base. This objective involves clearing a path through the Meridian Metroplex, breaching the base's defenses, and eliminating the Maliwan presence within. Securing the base allows the player to establish contact with Rhys at Atlas HQ and receive a new, faster vehicle, the Cyclone, essential for traversing the city's sprawling environments. The narrative then introduces another familiar face: Zer0, the enigmatic assassin from Borderlands 2. Teaming up with Zer0, the player infiltrates and secures a Maliwan weapons depot, battling advanced security bots and repelling counterattacks. This section culminates in the acquisition of a Holoblade Upgrade, which the player trades with Zer0 for a unique Hyperion sniper rifle, the Null Pointer. This transaction provides a powerful early-game weapon and reinforces the connections between characters and the wider Borderlands universe, with even player characters like Zane having specific dialogue referencing his history with Zer0. The mission's climax involves confronting Gigamind, a powerful AI responsible for stealing Atlas data. Located in the Halcyon Spaceport, Gigamind presents a significant boss fight, requiring players to exploit its weaknesses by targeting its head and back, especially when its front shield is active. Defeating Gigamind yields its Gigabrain, a crucial item that the player utilizes to bargain with Rhys. Returning to the now-secured Watershed Base, the player contacts Rhys one final time and inserts Gigamind's Gigabrain into a Gigareader, completing the "Hostile Takeover" mission. This victory not only secures a vital alliance for the Vault Hunters but also sets the stage for the next chapter, "The Impending Storm." The successful completion of this mission also unlocks the "Rise and Grind" side quest, offering a brief moment of levity after the intense corporate warfare, and makes a previously inaccessible red loot chest within Gigamind's arena available, rewarding players for their perseverance. "Hostile Takeover" effectively introduces players to Promethea, establishes the conflict with Maliwan, and integrates returning characters, all while providing significant character progression rewards.
