Guardian Rank
Guardian Rank is part of the Borderlands 3 end-game content. This is an ongoing progression system that allows you to keep leveling up your Vault Hunters. By defeating enemies you can gain experience points that allows you to level up your Guardian Rank. When you level up you earn a Guardian Rank Token. You can use this to increase your character’s stats and unlock perks. This is a great way to boost your Vault Hunter, however, a portion of the community would like to turn off their Guardian Rank. This way the community can create challenges and events where everyone is on an equal playing field. Another benefit of disabling Guardian Rank is that “the number crunchers” can dive into the boosts each perk provides. While this might only be 1% of the community that does that. It is that 1% that influences the other 99% on what the best weapons and character builds are.
