Battleborn Update and New Hero

Gearbox has released their weekly update notes for theBattleborn, their chaotic shooter/MOBA as well as some new information regarding new Heroes that players can appoint for battle.

Pendleswill be coming in the next couple months as the 27th Battleborn hero and will be free for everyone and unlockable with 47,500 credits earned in-game. He can also be unlocked instantly using one hero key, which are included in the season pass, which will save you time if you’d rather not grind in game for the credits. No word on his official abilities just yet but we will update his wiki page when they are available.

Don’t fall for his youthful charm — Pendles is literally a cold-blooded killer. Originally from the ocean world of Akopos, Pendles did as most adolescent Roa do and left home to experience galactic cultures, and enjoyed murdering those cultures so much that he never went back. Upon finding out that people would actually pay him for his hobby, he became a freelance assassin for anyone with even the smallest of grievances. Despite misgivings toward his moral code, Ghalt eventually decided that it would be more dangerous to have him off the team than on.

In addition to the game’s first majorupdate, Gearbox also released some hot fixes for the week. They are as follows:

Versus

Ghalt

Gear

Before Pendles, players will have access toAlani, the first of the new post launch character on May 31st. She will be available for immediate unlock by any players of the PS4 Open Beta. Her theme is water and her abilities should add some fluidity to the playing field. Get it?

Battleborn has been out for less than a month, but players can already take advantage of some deep discounts, often finding it for less than 40 USD at retailers on all platforms. Releasing so close to Blizzard’sOverwatchhas created quite the competitive environment for the new hero shooter genre. If you decide the price is right, we have a wiki with everything you need to know about theHeroesall prepped!
