Borderlands 3is just weeks away at this point, but that didn’t stop Gearbox Software from appearing during the Opening Night Live presentation at Gamescom to show off more of the game. This time around, Gearbox discussed theBorderlands 3endgame, giving players an idea of what they will be able to do once they wrap up the main story quests.
As confirmed at Gamescom 2019, theBorderlands 3endgame will feature a few key activities. One of the main endgame activities is the returning Circle of Slaughter mode. First seen in the originalBorderlands, Circle of Slaughter is a wave-based mode where players take on hordes of enemies in exchange for various rewards.

Besides Circle of Slaughter, theBorderlands 3endgame will also be composed of a new feature called Proving Grounds. Proving Grounds are special areas that players can find by deciphering alien messages and acquiring coordinates to their locations. Upon arrival, players will have a set of objectives to complete, and if they complete them all, they will have a chance at getting some of the game’s best loot. Gearbox said that there will be seven Proving Grounds forBorderlands 3players to play through at launch.
And finally, the third piece to theBorderlands 3endgame puzzle is the Guardian Rank. Similar to the Badass Rank fromBorderlands 2, the Guardian Rank inBorderlands 3lets players improve their character’s stats by tackling a huge list of challenges.
