Borderlands 3 – Bigger Level Cap, Skippable Cutscenes, & New Seasonal Event!

Gearbox reveals upcoming February 13th update featuring Bigger Level Cap, Skippable Cutscenes, and a New Seasonal Event (Broken Hearts Day)!

Other minor additions with this upcoming update can be found here. Let’s give you a quick rundown on the 3 key additions which are Level Cap, Skippable Cutscenes, and Broken Hearts Day.

Bigger Level Cap

The Level Cap will be increase from 50 > 53, not a big jump and there is a reason for that. Gearbox feels as if adding enough skill points to fill each tree, Borderlands 3 would be boring.

If everyone had enough skill points to fill up all 3 trees, everyone would be overpowered and there will be no balance at all.

Skippable Cutscenes

Skippable Cutscenes is pretty straight forward, you can skip cutscenes. Now this a really useful addition for those of us who don’t want to watch the opening campaign trailer each time we make a new character.

Broken Hearts Day (Valentine Event)

Broken Hearts Day, the valentine’s event that gives you a Legendary SMG & Sniper upon completion of milestones! RNG will bless your enemies with 7 different perks upon death, such as explosions or even turning them into allies.

Maurice will be tracking how many hearts you’ve broken, and he will send you mail with rewards attached after breaking certain numbers of hearts. Here is the list of rewards you will receive after breaking certain numbers of hearts in the event:

10 – “ECHOcardiogram” ECHO Skin
25 – “Cosmic Romance” Weapon Trinket
50 – “Terminal Polyaimorous” Legendary Maliwan SMG
75 – “Heartbreaker” Vault Hunter Skin
100 – “Wedding Invitation” Legendary Jakobs Sniper Rifle
