All 6 mini-events in Borderlands 3 Anniversary celebration

Developer Gearbox has announced it will celebrate the release of Borderlands 3 with an anniversary event with six unique mini-events. Each mini-event will last for a week, giving players six full weeks to enjoy improved loot drops, more legendary weapons, and additional challenges in the Borderlands 3 world. The first event kicks off on July 30, and the anniversary celebration ends on Sept. 10.

While the event celebrates the game’s first year, you can expect Gearbox to release additional loot-based events for players to have the chance to earn a variety of powerful legendaries to take on the toughest challenges.
