Shortly after the Steam release of Borderlands 3 (), fans are already getting supplies from the crazy loot shooter. With the DLC "Guns, Love and Tentacles: The Wedding of Wainwright and Hammerlock", the developer provides the community with the second DLC. The first DLC for Borderlands 3, Moxxis Heist of the Handsome Jackpot, was released a few months earlier.

If you still need tips on the first Borderlands 3 raid Maliwan Takedown, we recommend the linked guide. Our general Borderlands 3 tips & tricks are also very helpful for beginners and pros. The appropriate Borderlands 3 builds for Beastmaster FL4K, Borderlands 3 Amara builds, Borderlands 3 Moze build s and builds for Agent Zane in Borderlands 3 will help you to quickly complete the story of the DLC.

What are the new features of Borderlands 3: Guns, Love & Tentacles?

For the release, you can expect the story of the engagement party of Sir Alistair Hammerlock & Wainwright Jakobs. The two lovebirds have chosen the ice planet Xylourgos as their destination and want you to join them at all costs. In the icy wasteland of the planet, completely new, previously unknown dangers await you.

Besides some bloodthirsty beasts and mutated occultists, a whole clan of bandits is after your life. In the course of several new side missions you will meet many new bosses and characters, who will provide you with new equipment, weapons and legendary objects.

In the following list you will find an overview of all the new features:

New planet: Xylourgos
New city: Fluchheim
New characters (NPCs)
Numerous new enemies and bosses
Many new side missions that will introduce you to the crazy stories of the townspeople
New equipment
Numerous epic and legendary weapons not previously available in the game
Powerful class mods
New cosmetic items, such as heads, skins and room decorations
Old friends from past Borderlands parts
Eight new trophies

The special highlight is the level-less access all characters have to the DLC's content. Even newly created characters can jump right into the content by skipping the first 13 stages and completing the campaign until interplanetary travel is unlocked.

Which old friends will come into play with guns, love and tentacles?

The DLC marks the return of a community favorite that is especially familiar to fans of Borderlands 2 (): mechromancer Gaige. She came into the game as a playable character with the "Control Pack" add-on for Borderlands 2.

In the new Borderlands 3 DLC, Gaige takes on the role of the wedding planner who, together with her robot friend Deathtrap, organizes the dream couple's party and wants to make it a success.

How do I defeat the boss Wendigo?

The fight against Wendigo takes place in a cave. Before you remove the red vines to the cave entrance, replenish your ammo and health points at the vending machines to the left of the entrance. As soon as you jump into the cave, the battle begins. Wendigo's high health and mobility make the fight difficult.

His large body makes him look even stronger, but also brings a high hit range. This allows you to hit accurately even with shotguns at medium range. The boss doesn't use shields or armor and is effectively hit by fire damage . You can learn more about the elemental effects in our Borderlands 3 tips guide.

Alternatively, use cryo or normal projectiles. Sniper rifles and rocket launchers are not suitable for this fight. Wendigo's need for cuddling regularly drives him too close to you, making these weapon types inefficient. With an assault rifle, SMG, shotgun and pistol, you'll be well equipped.

Be sure to eliminate all enemies, as they will block your escape routes during his flame breath and cause additional damage. Avoid the breath at all costs. Watch your health at this stage and counter with your action skills if you run low. The projectiles have a very long range.
