Can You Play as Krieg in Borderlands 3?

The hype is real, and it’s time to dive into one of the most intriguing aspects of Borderlands 3. Krieg, one of the most beloved antagonists in the Borderlands franchise, has been getting fans excited with his first-ever appearance in the series – and the question on every Borderlands enthusiast’s lips: Can you play as Krieg in Borderlands 3?. To answer this question straight-up: No.

The Psycho in Psychoreaver

Back to the roots, psycho-inclined fans knew all too well that a solo playthrough with Krieg the Psycho, our favorite lovable mass murderer, would be amazing, but alas, developers, Gearbox Software and publishers, 2K, have confirmed that we will not be able to play as Krieg himself.

Krieg Not Among the Playable Classes

In Borderlands 3, the four vault hunters – Moze, Amara, Zane, and FL4K – are the only classes playable from the start of the game. All character classes have their exclusive unique abilities and play styles, making the game replayable and offering a level of customization. Still, Krieg’s incredible brutality and eccentricity (to say the least), makes us wonder what makes Borderlands 3 less thrilling without his presence behind the trigger.

Reunions and DLC? The Future of Borderlands?

Rumblings among fans hint at revisiting the Borderlands roots – perhaps through DLC missions that would allow us to tackle the Psycho Krieg (and maybe even Pandora once more) in one more thrilling ride. Unfortunately, no official word about additional DLC or a freeplay Krieg has emerged… yet. Though the possibility of spin-off content, like Pyscho Krieg’s Fanfic Tales of Moresome Madness, always hangs in the balance .

Enter Psycho Krieg and Fantastics Fustercluck!

While we have seen Krieg in cameo roles, like in Skag Dogs episodes in Borderlands 3 – we can venture into his world indirectly, exploring the Psycho Realm (Psychoreaver missions included) through the Krieg DLC, offering fans a deeper dive into this enigmatic character.
Let us assume control other character classes, like Bandit, Hunter, Trapper, or even Merc – not Krieg itself – to further solidify our bond and exploration of this twisted land.

Psychology

In this realm_Psychoreaver assembles the remnants of both playable characters, Maya with Krieg’s personalities entwined (no official quote confirmation provided in response to our request yet*). In this regard_the Psychoreaver’s powers are enhanced while the other playable Borderlands 3 characters still participate in their respective quest, but there is never official confirmation that Krigereacts in any more scenarios of this type to see how they would grow stronger together, but his primary role is as enigma and enforcer.

Conclusion: While we enjoy traversing Pandora, encountering numerous characters, and immersing ourselves in both their stories and the setting with the new DLC from Psycho Krigel, we ultimately face the truth: It doesn’t matter how all-seeing or all-Knife-wielding, if we don’t go home with a Kriet who is as much** (see the previous section)
