Volledige details omtrent Battleborn onthuld

De partijen 2K Games en Gearbox Software hebben besloten alle details omtrent MOBA Battleborn met de wereld te delen. Er zijn bijvoorbeeld zes multiplayer-modi en in het progressiesysteem zijn er drie takken te definiëren. Daarnaast zijn de Battleborn-helden te verdelen in drie categorieën, namelijk Attackers, Defenders en Support.

Story Mode
- Play Solo: Complete missions to unlock the next one.
- Play Co-Op: Three episodes are displayed for players to vote on regardless of whether or not they've unlocked that map in solo.
- Be Right Back: You can't join a match that's already in progress HOWEVER, you can rejoin your team if you've been disconnected from the game.
- Find Friends: Jump out to the homescreen to party up with friends or search for random teammates, then get cracking on the next S
- Story episode. When searching for random fellow co-op players, you'll be matched with others who are similar to your own skill level.
- Hardcore Mode: When things get tough, make it tougher! If you're up for a challenge, flip on Hardcore mode and jump into Story episodes for extra loot.

Competitive Multiplayer Modes
- Incursion: Take out the enemy's two Spider Sentry Drones before they get to yours.
- Capture: It's a classic capture-and-control showdown between two teams of heroes but more badass!
- Meltdown: Each team marches waves of minions to their death, and scores points for every minion who throws themselves into the incinerator. The team with the most scrap metal, wins.
- Skill-Based Matchmaking: Queue up in regular Competitive Multiplayer matches to be matched with and against similarly skilled players.
- Map Counts: Each mode has 2 maps with many more coming after launch.
- Private Matches: Get some practice in with private competitive matches. Customize team sizes from 1v1 through 5v5 or toggle the unique character requirement off.

Progression Systems
- Helix: During a single Competitive match or Story episode, each level you gain activates a new Helix augmentation opportunity. A character's Helix resets at the beginning of a new match or episode.
- Character Rank: Each character ranks up the more you play them, up to rank 15. The Character Rank levels persist across all modes, and this experience never resets.
- Command Rank: Command Rank persists across all modes and all characters played. Every Competitive match and Story episode grants XP towards your player Command Rank.

25 Badass Battleborn Characters
