Borderlands 3: What is Mayhem Mode?

Several reviews have confirmed that it takes around 30 hours to complete Borderlands 3's main story. For those looking to do a little more stuff after the game is over, Gearbox Software has got that in mind. It added an additional mode for players to engage after completing the campaign, called Mayhem Mode.

This mode is something you can only access once you have completed Borderlands 3. When you find yourself aboard your ship, Sanctuary 3, you will be able to use a console to access the Mayhem. You can choose three levels, but my advice is to start at the beginning and work your way up to the last. At the last level, enemies can kill you on the spot. So what do you get for your problem and how hard can it be? Well, this guide is here to help you find out.
