Moxxi’s Heist Of The Handsome Jackpot Arrives For Borderlands 3
I am more than ready for more Borderlands 3.
Feeling lucky, Vault Hunter? Well good news: Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot, the first paid campaign add-on for Borderlands 3, is now available on PC, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One. Handsome Jack’s once-opulent space station casino is a must-visit for Vault Hunters in search of new adventures, new enemies, and of course, new loot. To see the brand new launch trailer, just click right here.
After seven years on lockdown, Moxxi has asked for your help in seizing control of The Handsome Jackpot as the ultimate act of revenge against her villainous ex, Handsome Jack. He’s long-dead at this point, but the former Hyperion CEO still makes his presence felt and isn’t going to give up his eponymous casino without a fight. In order to get past the casino’s formidable defenses—like an army of Loader Bots and various factions of stranded casino-goers—Moxxi’s recruiting a team of highly skilled oddballs to take over from the inside. For more details, please refer to this blog.
Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot is the first of four paid campaign add-ons that are included with the Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition and Season Pass. The add-on is also available for individual purchase for $14.99, though you will need to own a copy of the base game to access the add-on content. In order to reach The Handsome Jackpot, you’ll need to have gained access to the good ship Sanctuary III by completing Episode 5 of Borderlands 3’s main story campaign.
In addition, 2K and Gearbox Software today announced a series of Borderlands 3 content drops coming to Twitch, available for free with your Twitch Prime membership. Our first drop is available now, with the Caster Blaster weapon trinket and three Golden Keys up for grabs. To learn more about how the program works and what’s still to come, please refer to this blog.
And just in case you missed yesterday’s announcement, Borderlands 3 is also getting special holiday discounts! For a limited time, the Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition, and Super Deluxe Edition—which includes access to all four forthcoming campaign add-ons as they are released—will be available for up to 35% off on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, the Epic Games store, and Google Stadia*.
