What Happens After You Finish BL3 Story?
Finishing the Borderlands 3 story campaign marks the beginning of a new journey in the world of Pandora. While the main narrative comes to a close, the game offers a wide range of activities, side missions, and content to explore. In this article, we’ll dive into the world of BL3’s post-campaign content and uncover the exciting things you can do after finishing the story.
Unlocking Proving Grounds
After completing the main campaign, you’ll unlock several Proving Grounds, time-based challenges that pit you against three waves of enemies. Each Proving Ground is unique, offering varying difficulty levels and enemy combinations. These challenges reward players with exclusive loot and bonuses, making them a great way to earn high-end gear.
Additional Activities and Side Missions
In addition to Proving Grounds, there are side missions that become available after finishing the campaign. These quests scale to your level, providing an exciting way to earn experience and rewards. Side missions include:
• Missions that reward chests with valuable loot
• Hunts for specific enemies, such as boss-like targets
• Harmless Wastes – a series of mini-games and puzzles that yield rewards
True Vault Hunter Mode and Mayhem Mode
After finishing the campaign, you’ll gain access to two additional playthroughs:
• True Vault Hunter Mode: A new, harder playthrough with tougher enemies and better loot. Each level in True Vault Hunter Mode has a different difficulty, making it challenging to overcome.
• Mayhem Mode: A unique difficulty setting that shakes up enemy behavior, weapon functionality, and overall game balance. Mayhem Mode adds a new layer of strategy to combat, as players must adapt to these changes.
Leveling Up Your Vault Cards
Each Vault Card has a unique set of rewards, including 24 themed cosmetics and four pieces of Legendary gear. Leveling up your Vault Cards unlocks more rewards, with no cap on the maximum level.
Why is BL3 so Big?
At its core, Borderlands 3’s massive size is due to its:
• Thousands of surface textures: Every surface, from walls to crates, features high-definition images that create a realistic game world.
• Unmatched replayability: The game’s vast size, coupled with its randomly generated levels and loot system, ensures that no two playthroughs are the same.
Starting Mayhem Mode
When diving into Mayhem Mode, start on a lower level (e.g., level 1) and work your way up as you earn more experience and loot. The higher the level, the more challenging and rewarding Mayhem Mode becomes.
Do Missions Scale in BL3?
No, in BL3, side missions do not scale to your level after finishing the main campaign. Instead, players must explore the world, find, and complete these side quests to earn experience and rewards.
Summary
In conclusion, after finishing Borderlands 3’s campaign, you’re left with a vast world to explore, numerous activities to enjoy, and multiple playthroughs to discover. With Proving Grounds, side missions, True Vault Hunter Mode, and Mayhem Mode, the post-campaign experience is more exciting than ever.
