Hostile Takeover | Borderlands 3 | As FL4K, Walkthrough, No Commentary

Borderlands 3 is a first-person shooter with RPG elements, developed by Gearbox Software and released in 2019. It is the fourth main installment in the Borderlands series, known for its unique cel-shaded art style, humor, and extensive loot system. Players select from four Vault Hunters, each bringing distinct abilities, and embark on an interplanetary quest to stop the Calypso twins, cult leaders bent on exploiting mysterious Vaults scattered across the galaxy. The game expands on its predecessors by introducing new mechanics like enhanced mobility, a vast array of procedurally generated weapons, and cooperative multiplayer gameplay. Within this expansive universe, "Hostile Takeover" stands out as the sixth main story mission, set on the planet Promethea in the Meridian Metroplex. Designed for players around level 12, this mission marks a significant turning point in both narrative and gameplay. The story centers on the Calypso twins' attempt to open a Vault on Promethea, prompting the player to ally with the Atlas Corporation, a powerful megacorporation locked in conflict with Maliwan forces. The mission tasks players with combating Maliwan operatives, protecting civilians, and reclaiming the Watershed Base. Gameplay in "Hostile Takeover" combines intense combat, vehicle segments using the new Cyclone vehicle, and tactical objectives. Players receive guidance from Atlas operative Lorelei and coordinate with CEO Rhys while confronting Maliwan enemies such as the fiery Pyros and security bots. A highlight is the infiltration of a Maliwan weapons depot alongside the enigmatic Zer0, culminating in the acquisition of a Holoblade upgrade that enhances Zer0’s combat abilities. The mission’s climax features a challenging boss fight against Gigamind, a cybernetic villain controlling a powerful mech. Success relies on strategic positioning—attacking weak points on Gigamind’s back and head while maintaining mobility—and effective use of high-damage weapons. Defeating Gigamind yields critical data called the "Gigabrain," which advances the storyline. Importantly, "Hostile Takeover" unlocks class mods, enabling players to customize and specialize their Vault Hunters’ abilities further. It also introduces the Hyperion sniper rifle "Null Pointer," tied to Zer0’s color scheme, adding to the player’s arsenal. Upon completion, players are rewarded with experience, currency, and a trophy marking a key milestone. Overall, "Hostile Takeover" enriches Borderlands 3 by deepening the narrative involving Atlas and Maliwan, introducing fresh gameplay mechanics, and setting the stage for the escalating conflict with the Calypso twins. It exemplifies the game’s blend of humor, action, and loot-driven progression, making it a memorable chapter in the Borderlands saga.
