Borderlands 3’s first major premium DLC pack,Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot, launches soon and Gearbox is ready to share more information about it. On the monthly The Borderlands Show talkshow a variety of new content was shown. First, there came a brand new launch trailer forMoxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot. After that, The Borderlands Show hosts and friends released a solid 13 minutes of new gameplay forBorderlands 3’s newest DLC.
Gearbox released avideo showcasing the first 11 minutes ofMoxxi’s Heistnot too long ago, but this new footage is chock full of new gameplay that was either cut from the original video or expands on it. It also helps that this new gameplay features 4-player co-op, so not only canBorderlands 3players see more character classes in action but they can see the interaction and difficulty involved in taking a full squad into the Handsome Jackpot.

New gameplay shown includes an odd man with a pencil-thin mustache doing live broadcasts over theHandsome Jackpot’s monitors, the first meeting with a masked NPC who is both familiar and not, and a mission the involves finding dead fish to make the casino stink. The video editor cut all of the big story moments that the players experienced except for the introduction of the one NPC. For those worries about spoilers, there are only very small ones in the gameplay.
The new trailer may have actually been more interesting than the 13 minutes of new gameplayGearboxpreviously shared. It starts with a funny holiday-themed stop-motion video and then does a lengthy montage showcasing new features fromMoxxi’s Heist. These include teasers for new story missions and side quests, new enemies like the mimic slot machine, new loot including vault hunter heads and skins, and more.
