Borderlands®: Mister Torgue's Arena of Badassery™ is an officially licensed, cooperative board game for 1 to 4 players, in which you and your fellow Vault Hunters must defeat the hordes of bandits, skags, and other challenges that Mister Torgue throws at you to prove that you are Ultimate Badasses.

Ultimate Vault Hunter Pledge Arrives!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Dec 16, 2021 at 01:17:09 AM

Greetings Vault Hunters!

It's hard to believe, but we're heading into our final week! It's time for the Ultimate Pledge!

Here's what it includes:

  • Mr. Torgue's Arena of Badassery Core Game
  • Skags at the Gates
  • Robot Revolution
  • Monster Fight Club Objective Pack
  • Monster Fight Club Obstacle Pack
  • Borderlands Object Pack
  • Acrylic Token Pack
  • Loot-splosion! Supplement
  • Best Minion Ever 
  • Badassasaurus
  • All Free Stretch Goals!

One important thing to note on this pledge is that it does NOT include The Ravenous Wattle Gobbler or Steve the Psycho. That is because we wanted to honor our early backers who are getting them free for supporting the campaign early. So if you were not an early backer and want those two add-ons you will still need to add them to your pledge in the pledge manager.

It's also jam packed with incredible extra savings! How much savings? You're saving $55 from just pledging for the add-on separately and over $235 from retail, and that's just an approximate because we're not even counting all the free stretch goals you count all of the free stretch goals!

 It also includes our last three optional add-ons.

The Borderlands Object Pack brings you unique 3D models to spice up your arena even further as you battle through the arena looting and murdering. 

Defeat Captain Flynt and expand your collection of bandits with the Best Minion Ever bounty pack!

And of course, BADASSASAURUS! This model is so big we have to include its own massive unique hex arena for it. This enemy that is the pinnacle of badassery it fills four hexes and is almost 6" tall when fully opened! In addition to the Badassasaurus model it includes Piston, a unique hex arena, printed scenarios and game cards. 

Also, just to be extra clear. The Ultimate Vault Hunter pledge includes every stretch goal that True Badass receives, as shown on the True Badass pledge and unlocked stretch goals.

More Loot With Social Stretch Goals!

We're getting close to a couple of milestones on our social media accounts so we thought it would be fun to offer you some free Loot to push us over the top!  When we reach each of these goals we'll give 5x Legendary Loot Cards to True Badass and Ultimate Vault Hunters!

New Free Models Too!

The last week features plenty of free models to unlock still as well. We recently saw Axton making some last adjustments to his Saber Turret, and it seems like we'd be remiss if we didn't make a trip to the moon...

Guard Skag Unlocked!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Dec 16, 2021 at 01:14:26 AM

Greetings Badasses,

Happy Tuesday as we unlock FL4K's first companion model, the Guard Skag!

Awww what a cute little bandana. FL4K's Guard Skag is free to all True Badasses.

As we write this, we're zooming in the Boxing Champ Claptrap, as we make our way to Gaige and even more miniature goodness.

International Shipping

We've had lots and lots of inquiries about international shipping. We know that shipping costs these days can make it difficult to pledge and are doing everything we can to find shipping options that as affordable as possible. To that end, we’re talking with a number of fulfillment partners about the shipping of your pledge rewards. Some of them are companies we’ve worked with before, and some of them are ones recommended to us by other companies that have delivered successful Kickstarters of their own. 

We know that these days there are many, many Kickstarter fulfillment services out there and we are committed to exploring as many of them as we can to ensure that our backers receive the most reliable and affordable shipping.  To that end, we’ve already received some recommendations from backers based on services that they were pleased with in the fulfillment of other campaigns they backed. 

So we thought we'd open it up to everyone. If you've been happy with a fulfillment service and want to recommend we look into their services as a potential option, feel free to let us know in the comments below.  We would love to hear any of our Super Backers recommendations from past campaigns. (Please be aware that we will be making the final determination for fulfillment partners and that a recommendation does not guarantee they will be the chosen solution.)

Digi-Clone Unlocked!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Dec 14, 2021 at 04:25:24 AM

Greeting Vault Hunters,

We hope that you've been having an epically badass weekend. We definitely have here, as we've unlocked Zane's Digi-Clone!

This obviously isn't the final sculpt, though it's often hard to tell Zane apart from his digi-clone in the chaotic firefights of the arena. You've unlocked the digi-clone and it is included free to all True Badass pledges.

We're very near a second unlock today as well. The one. The only. Boxing Champ Claptrap! As we head towards the champ we've also revealed another stretch goal --

We have a few stretch goals to unlock between the champ and the Fireant Centurion, but we're positive FL4K would like their second sidekick! Once unlocked, the Fireant Centurion will be free to all True Badasses.

Bandit Gallery

We thought it'd be nice to start taking a closer look at some of the badass sculpts that you'll be getting with your pledge. Let's take a look at a few of the enemies you'll be shooting.

It seems only right to start of with some PSYCHOS! Here we have two normal psychos and in the center a friendly suicide psycho. He would like to show you his grenades.

Next up, we've got one of the two Marauder variants, the Badass Psycho who's looks like he's about to club you something good, and our third (of four) psycho poses.

We really wish the Goliaths would leave their helmets on. We know it's rude to stare, but it's just hard not to. Best to shoot it instead.

We'll finish up this update's gallery with the final psycho pose as well as the "Headshot" psycho, who was a free unlock for all the True Badasses.

Last Day For Free Steve

Don't forget that tomorrow is the last day to get Steve the Psycho for free. So if you know any other Badasses that want in on the carnage be sure to let them know!

FLAK Unlocked! Gaige Spotted!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Dec 14, 2021 at 04:24:05 AM

Greetings Vault Hunters

It's always a good day when you unlock a new Vault Hunter to join the hunt.

FL4K has been unlocked and they're ready to cause some mayhem! FL4K, of course, has three badass sidekicks and we didn't forget them and all of their models are now in the stretch goal line-up with the addition of the Jabber! 

Let's bust-up some Claptraps, grab a Centurion and get FL4K a Jabber!

BIG Miniatures Gallery

Borderlands has some BIG enemies, and while we may not be able to fit the likes of The Warrior or a Rakk Hive into the box, we still have a few big models that are fantastic centerpieces to your collection and dominate the arena.

Skags are dangerous. They're even more dangerous when they can swallow you whole. Skagzilla towers over lesser skags and vault hunters alike. We recommend some heavy ordnance to deal with him.

In the game Psychoreaver is a delicious hallucination that looms above the entire battlefield. We wanted to capture that with an absolutely massive sculpt. The crow's cage on his flail barely even reaches his knee!

Of course, the Vault Hunters have a big kid of their own with Iron Bear. This badass mecha is ready to unleash some brutal destruction.

Gaige Wants to Play Too

Did you really think we'd forget Gaige? Pffft. We should just blow you to smithereens for such a thought.

She's on her way!

What a Week!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Dec 13, 2021 at 01:25:07 PM

Greetings Vault Hunters!

It's hard to believe, but it's already been a week--and what a week it's been! You've managed to unlock so many cool items that we had only hoped to be able to do for this first outing into the Arena of Badassery. We've said it before, and we'll say it again, "thank you for making this an incredible campaign!"

Today we've unlocked models Zane's STNL and Barrier skills.

We're looking forward to the energy effects our hobbyist backers will be painting on that barrier's canvas! Speaking of painting, we recently added a great painting tutorial of Claptrap to our front page, but here it is for you to check out.

We've sent some models off to other painters and will be sharing their content with you as well when it is released.

PAX UNPLUGGED

New Stretch Goal

We're well on our way to unlocking Cluck-Trap, so it's time to reveal a new goal --

FL4K gets their first sidekick with the Guard Skag! We're sure this adorable(?) companion will help you achieve victory in the Arena!
