Top 10 Gameplay Tips for Borderlands 3
- Match your elemental damage to the enemy health bar. Fire (Incendiary) works well against red health (flesh), Shock demolishes blue health (shields), and Corrosive melts yellow health (armor).
- Prioritize buying Storage Deck Upgrades (SDUs) early on. Visit Marcus on Sanctuary III to increase your backpack and ammo capacity, as you will quickly accumulate tons of loot.
- Equip weapons with varied ammo types. There are only six types of ammo, so using a diverse loadout ensures you don’t run out of all your ammunition in a single firefight.
- Use Fast Travel from anywhere on the map. You no longer need to find a Fast Travel station; simply open your ECHO map and select any previously discovered point or your vehicle.
- Always check for alternate fire modes on your weapons. Many guns have a secondary firing mode, often changing the elemental damage or turning the weapon into a grenade launcher.
- Crawl during Fight For Your Life (FFYL). When downed, you can move to get a clear shot at an enemy for a Second Wind or crawl toward a teammate for a revive.
- Do not get overly attached to early legendary weapons. Because regions are level-locked on your first playthrough, gear quickly becomes underpowered, so feel free to use your cool drops.
- Complete side quests as you progress to stay properly leveled. Side missions provide valuable XP and unique gear, helping you avoid being under-leveled for the next main story area.
- Don’t ignore the ping system, especially in co-op. You can quickly mark enemies, loot, or a location for your teammates by pressing the designated ping button.
- Check your in-game mail often via the Social menu. NPCs frequently send you reward weapons or gear via the mail system after completing certain quests or challenges.
