Unraveling the Toughest Challenges in the Borderlands Universe

Highlights

Borderlands games are not as easygoing as they may seem, with challenging missions and gameplay twists that can frustrate skilled gamers.

Borderlands 3 presents a captivating mission that combines two raids, challenging players to confront formidable bosses and navigate treacherous enemies.

In Borderlands 2, players encounter thrilling missions such as Capture the Flags and The Death Race, where triumph hinges upon strategic thinking and unconventional tactics.

Every RPG challenges its players with difficult missions, spanning from the infamous helicopter quest in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City to the epic encounter with Gna, the Valkyrie Queen, in God of War: Ragnarok. While some franchises have been criticized for unrealistic difficulty scaling, successfully completing a game's main questline should never be a walk in the park. Borderlands, known for its humor, has a history of testing gamers' skills, with certain missions that even dedicated fans struggle to conquer.

At first glance, the Borderlands games may appear lighthearted due to their humorous dialogue between characters. However, seasoned players understand that beneath the surface, these games incorporate heartbreaking narratives and gameplay elements that can prove frustrating even for the most skilled gamers. The most challenging missions within each installment may vary depending on a player's abilities and technical knowledge, but the Borderlands community can unanimously agree that certain quests demand exceptional finesse and pose significant obstacles to overcome.

Borderlands 3 - You. Will. Die. Over and Over.

Continuing the saga of the first Borderlands and its battle with Crawmerax, players now face a new formidable foe in Borderlands 3 - Hemovorous the Invincible. This epic showdown was anticipated to be a fight for the ages. However, what gamers did not expect was for the mission to feature not one, but two raids in one. Enter Vermivorous The Invincible, the second boss in this quest, bringing an additional layer of challenge. As if that wasn't enough, players must also be on the lookout for the dangerous Varkid larvae, capable of inflicting significant damage if not handled with caution. Hemovorous boasts an impressively massive health pool, turning this boss battle into a three-phase fight that requires unwavering courage and skill.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - The Bestest Story Ever Told

Taking place between the events of the initial two Borderlands games, The Pre-Sequel delivers captivating moments throughout its storyline. Among these moments, the final boss battle against the Sentinel stands out as truly exhilarating. Defeating the regular Sentinel is already a formidable challenge, considering its status as a formidable Vault Monster. However, The Bestest Story Ever Told takes this challenge to the next level by introducing an upgraded version of the Sentinel known as the Invincible Sentinel. Players must endure a two-phase battle against this mighty foe, while also contending with the menacing Guardian minions who unleash devastating projectile attacks.

Borderlands 2 - Capture the Flags

Borderlands 2 - Tier 3 Battle: The Death Race

The mission in Borderlands 2, known as "Capture the Flags," symbolizes the tenacious battle that awaits players. This challenging mission takes the Vault Hunters on a journey to commemorate Brick by strategically raising flags on the map using generators. However, they must defend these crucial mechanisms against relentless attacks from nearby bandits, making it one of Borderlands' toughest challenges.

The Death Races in Borderlands 2's DLC mission are incredibly perilous, requiring players to strategize creatively in order to increase their chances of success. Any mistake while behind the wheel spells instant failure, making it necessary to explore unorthodox routes around the racetrack as the only means to secure victory.

Borderlands 3 - The Circles of Slaughter

The Circles of Slaughter, a battle mode reminiscent of a last stand, showcases the exhilaration of gunfights as it challenges players to withstand relentless waves of enemies with sheer determination and skill. Unlike typical gameplay, Borderlands 3 introduces formidable Badass class enemies and enduring trials that push the limits of players' stamina.
