What is new in Borderlands 3 update 1.22?
NEW CONTENT INCLUDED IN DIRECTOR’S CUT:
Added support for the new Raid Boss: Hemovorous the Invincible
- Hemovorous has made her lair behind a previously sealed door on Pandora, and Director’s Cut is your chance to go toe-to-pincer with this monstrous enemy!

It will cost 500 Eridium for your group to open the door, giving you the opportunity for new loot if you succeed.

Added Behind-the-Scenes Content
- A new menu option is available to Director’s Cut owners! Explore a gallery full of concept art, storyboards, lost maps, and footage from throughout the game’s development—including a very special animatic for Maya that wasn’t able to make it to Borderlands 3.
