Vault Hunters can now experience Borderlands 3's Halloween-themed Event--Bloody Harvest--filled with new maps, a new boss, a new Legendary weapon, and new Terror gameplay mechanics, among others.
In a blog post on PlayStation 4's official website, Gearbox admitted that Bloody Harvest is the first event they have done in the studio, and they explained the behind-the-scenes of creating it, which was planned way back in December 2017.
First Event Ever
Now, the Event is live, and Bloody Harvest includes temporary tasks that players have to fulfill in order to acquire rewards that will contain new and unique loot, which they can use in the future even after the Event drops.
A few of the tasks include killing 20 loot ghosts (An Eye for Quality Hecktoplasm), kill 500 ghosts in the mayhem mode (Chaotic Good Cleric), kill haunted El Dragon Jr (El Campeon Fantasmal), solve the pumpkin puzzle (Easy as Pumpkin Pie), and equip three Bloody Harvest loot simultaneously (Pumpkin Spiced).
The complete list of tasks is available at GamesRadar, or you open Borderlands 3 and check the menu.
Finding Maurice
However, Bloody Harvest doesn't automatically happen when you start the game, even when you have downloaded the most recent patch.
According to PCGamer, you need to find Maurice, a Saurian that you can locate wandering around Sanctuary III.
Once you find Maurice, the NPC will be giving you a repetitive task of defeating Haunted enemies all over the universe to acquire enough Hecktoplasm, and once you have enough, Maurice will open a new portal for you to a new place called Heck, where you can fight new enemies like undead Maliwan soldiers, or the evil Captain Haunt.
You might also want to keep an eye on Maurice in the future as he will be your guide to future Events that will be published by Gearbox.
Based on a report by Express, the event will run until Dec. 5 and is available on all platforms that Borderlands 3 is on.
Legendary Shotgun
Besides Bloody Harvest, fans are also excited about the return of a Legendary weapon: the Conference Call Legendary shotgun that was featured and loved in Borderlands 2.
You can find the Legendary weapon on the planet Promethea at the large Atlas building, which is in the north of your map. Trigger a boss fight with Katagawa Jr. and defeat him, then check the loot that he drops.
If you're lucky, you can get the weapon; if not, quit to the main menu and resume the game to trigger the boss fight again until Katagwa Jr. drops the Legendary shotgun.
