About Battleborn’s Story Operations
Story Operations are new missions that got added to the game as paid downloadable content. These DLC missions are included in the Season Pass.
These cooperative missions take place after the events that took place in the Main Story Campaign. Each Story Operation will deliver a unique story and a fresh gameplay experience.
These DLC missions are highly replayable and their storytelling is structured in a different way. In contrast to the main story episodes – which told 1 story in different ways each time you played it -, the Story Operations will tell 1 story over the course of 10 playthroughs.
These Story Operations are a bit shorter than the missions from the main campaign because Player Feedback indicated that they were too long as they consumed a good hour in order to complete a single episode.
Difficulty Settings
The Story Operations don’t follow the difficulty settings from the main story campaign but will scale dynamically based on the number of Ops Points you collect. The more Ops Points you collect, the higher the challenge will become.
You will gain 5 Ops Points each time you complete the mission with a maximum of 50 Ops Points at the start of the mission. This means that the Story Operation will become more challenging over the course of the story as you progress through the 10 Playthroughs.
You can gain additional Ops Points by completing Side Quests and opening 10 randomly hidden loot chests throughout the mission. You can gain up to 100 Ops Points by completing all playthroughs and collecting all additional Ops Points tasks.
| Source | Ops Points | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Replay Mission | +5 per Playthrough | 50 |
| Side Objectives | +10 per Side Objective | 40 |
| Hidden Chests | +1 per Loot Chest | 10 |
| Max 100 |
Mission Star Ratings
At the end of each mission, you will be rewarded a star rating. Each mission has its own threshold for these star ratings:
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Diamond
Guide: How to maximize your score inside Battleborn
Legendary Gear
Each Story Operation comes with its own unique legendaries you can collect.
The final boss in each Story Operations has one specific legendary gear assigned to them.
The legendary effects on these items have special conditions, as these can only be triggered in the Story Operations. That means that the PvP won’t immediately have Pay-to-Win gear. But while these legendary items are limited to the story operations, they do have great potential.
Commander Faction Packs
You will be rewarded with a Commander Faction Pack each time you are able to complete a Story Operation with 100 Ops Points. The type of Commander Pack is based on the faction of your character.
Commander Faction Packs are the Badass versions of the normal Faction Packs that are available in the Marketplace. They are both limited to the loot pool of their respective faction but the Commander Faction Packs have a higher chance of dropping Epic and Legendary Gear.
Commander Faction Packs provide a good chance of getting Legendary Gear and each Story Operation comes with its own unique legendaries you can collect.
Rewards
With each Story Operation also come a few new challenges that will reward you with new skins, taunts, and titles. Check out each of the Story Operation pages to find out which rewards are obtainable in that mission.
