About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for explosive action and the characteristic chaos of Borderlands, now on your tabletop! In Borderlands: Mister Torgue's Arena of Badassery!, you and your friends take on the roles of fearless Vault Hunters, diving into Mister Torgue's insane arena. The goal? To face off against hordes of skags, bandits, and psychos in breathtaking cooperative combat. The game offers the flexibility of one-off battles, packed with 'explosion-splosions' and 'loot-splosions', or an epic campaign where your Vault Hunters evolve between games.
Between scenarios, you can visit vending machines to acquire more powerful gear, upgrade your character with unique skill trees, and equip legendary weapons, ensuring you're even more 'BADASS' for the next challenge. But make no mistake, Torgue's arena is not for the faint of heart: the campaign culminates in a brutal confrontation against a Final Boss, a true Murder-Machine that will do everything to turn you into a tasty snack for the skags. Do you and your team have what it takes to emerge victorious and prove you are the 'Ultimate Badasses'?
