Borderlands 3 Will Not Have Loot Boxes But Cosmetic Microtransactions Sneak In

Borderlands 3 Will Not Have Loot Boxes But Microtransactions Sneak In Anyway

During the live stream dedicated to Borderlands 3 gameplay reveal, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford was on hand to announce that the game will not have loot boxes. Borderlands 3 will not allow you buy weapons, gear or any other item that affects the gameplay for real-life currency.

Cosmetic items and DLCs will still be purchasable with real money.

“We’re selling cosmetic items, but we’re not going to nickel and dime players,” said Gearbox’s Paul Sage in an interview with us. “DLC will come down the line, but the game won’t have anything excessive.”

Keeping purchasable loot boxes out of Borderlands 3 is part of Gearbox’s commitment and vision for the game. “We’ve made a commitment to the story, style, and design that our fans have told us loud and clear that they cherish and want us to preserve,” Pitchford said.
