Test out Your Skills in Challenge Gauntlets
Looking for a challenge? Prove your skills as a Vault Hunter by taking on Borderlands 3's Challenge Gauntlets. Each Arena comes with their own set of difficulty and enemies for you to conquer.
Increasing Level of Difficulty
Arenas come with multiple rounds that increases in difficulty. They are level locked, requiring players to go through each round first to get to the highest one. The higher the level, the tougher the enemies will be.
Restarts Round when You Die
Dying in an Arena will remove all of your earnings and restart your progress for that round. Wiping out doesn't take you back to Level 1 of the difficulty.
Great Loot Awaits at the End
Conquering an Arena will reward you with great loot! This includes XP, Money, and some pretty sweet Guns and equipment.
Proving Grounds Challenge Arena
The Proving Grounds is a new Arena Gauntlet introduced in Borderlands 3 that's completely different from all previous ones. This gauntlet has a set limit that will require efficiency and skill.
Defeat Enemies & Boss within Set Time
Winning a round in the proving grounds will require players to not only defeat all enemies and its final boss, but also do it within a set time. The faster you complete a round, the better the rewards will be.
