History Awesome / Borderlands3

* Claptrap clears his quest, proof that he's a treasure hunter even without [=VaultHunter.exe=].
* The marriage itself.

* The upcoming ''Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock'' marks the return of Gaige!

* The reveal that Carnivora, a bandit themed traveling carnival, is a 20 thousand ton building-sized tank. That you then chase by car. And bring to a stop. [[HolyShitQuotient And fight your way through.]]

*** Vladolf has a second weapon underbarrel or extra function, in addition the their previous gimmick of high rate of fire.

** The first gun you get compared to previous games. A white grade pistol usually is just a BoringButPractical peashooter that fires bullets, nothing more. Now? The first gun has [[{{MacrossMissileMassacre}} Zip-rockets]], tiny rockets fired in rapid succession. ''Every'' manufacturer now has a unique trait - some have multiple - compared to simpler gimmicks of previous games:
*** COV - replacing Bandit/Scav - eliminates reload by pulling ammo directly from your inventory instead of just a big mag
*** Jakobs now do something on critical hit (most commonly ricochet to another enemy) instead of just having high raw damage

*** Maliwan now swap between 2 elements instead of just one with high elemental chance, as well as having a charge time and - depending on the weapon type - function differently (shotguns are more shockwave guns, firing directed energy, some weapons function as lasers).

*** Vladolf has a second weapon or function underbarrel.
*** Atlas, a new weapon manufacturer, fire tracking smart bullets that home in on a painted target.

* The new weapons for the game include the Burger Cannon which shoots burgers and the Gungun which shoots out guns for your fellow players.

* The second cutscene (not Marcus's voiceover/exposition), showing off the new vault hunters. 4 new vault hunters, with a new system for abilities, the choice of 3 different abilities instead of 1 (or in Moze's case 3 choices for her 1 ability, her ability is [[{{Mecha}} Iron Bear]] but she can equip 2 of 3 weapons), Gearbox needed to show them off. And show them off they did. Set to The Heavy's "On the Line", the four vault hunters crash a COV's little victory party, showing off [=FL4K's=] pets and Rakk Attack!, Zane's digi-clone, barrier, and drone, Moze's [[{{Mecha}} Iron Bear]] with a flamethrower, and Amara's Phase-grasp and Phase-slam. The characters barely have 2 minutes on screen to make an impression, but it's pretty clear they're badass. Highlights include:

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NG3HwDD40M FL4K's character trailer]], where not only do we get to hear their voice for the first time, but we're introduced to a badass, nigh-unstoppable hunter of the most dangerous game.

** Amara dodging a bullet and Phase-grasping the shooter in one fluid movement.

** [=FL4K's=] Skag using a Tink [[{{GrievousHarmWithABody}} to kill 2 people]].

* The reveal that Carnivora, a bandit themed traveling carnival, is a 20 thousand ton building sized tank.

* The FinalBoss is not only against the Destroyer, the final boss of the first game, but also against Tyreen, who has fused with it to become mobile... And you can take it down in ''[[CurbStompBattle seconds.]]'' Not bad against someone who [[SmugSnake always claimed she was a god.]]

** [=FL4K=] sending his Jabber and Rakk Attack to yank out the driver and gunner of a 4th vehicle

* On the way to the first Vault, you drive the Project DD Technical. Nothing fancy about the car itself, but Maya hitches a ride and tunes into some nice rock music as she grabs and throws any giant mines you come across.

* BALEX navigating his new mecha-body straight into a boss's invincible shield to destroy it. The boss was responsible for putting him in a Teddy Bear.

** When the boss shows up again, BALEX wastes no time isolating her to a hard drive and suggests she gets installed into a toilet. [[FateWorseThanDeath Marcus immediately offers his aid]].

* The reveal that the Carnivora, a bandit themed traveling carnival, is a 20 thousand ton building sized tank.

* Katagawa spends most of Sky-well 23 blowing up Rhys's favorite stuff with a [[KillSat Kill Sat]] and gloating about his space yacht the Zahara. So it's super satisfying to see Rhys use that same laser to blow the Zahara out of the sky.

** Amara dodging a bullet and Phase-grasping the shooter in one fluid movement. And not even bringing out a gun yet.

* In a gameplay demo/trailer, the beginning of the game was shown, showing off new mechanics. The fight with the first mini-boss, a Badass Psycho named Shiv, is pretty cool, but the way he's defeated is by Amara punching a barrel (which in previous games used to be immovable explosives) at him and blowing it up in his face. It's a great and badass way to show off the new mechanics.

* After freeing Claptrap, he sends a signal to Lilith... and her entrance is a sight to behold: a flaming portal opens up in the sky, and Lilith flies out of it and slams into the ground. She stands up, and we get a ''beautiful'' CallBack that fans will instantly recognize, along with an all-new title card:
--->'''Lilith:''' [[{{Catchphrase}} 'Sup.]]\\
'''''Lilith'''''''': Commander of the Crimson Raiders'''
* The battle through the Holy Broadcast Center, if only for its implications. New guns that still retain the feel of old times, improvements to co-op, the beautified combat... if there was anything to say "''Borderlands'' [[HesBack is back]]", this is it.
