Artifacts in Borderlands and Relics in Borderlands 2 are powerful items of Eridian origin that bestow special effects on a player's character. Artifacts grant Elemental Damage and bonuses for a specific class Action Skill; Relics on the other hand are not class-restricted and may or may not be tied to a specific type of elemental damage. Apart from being powerful and sought-after items, often earned as quest rewards, Artifacts and Relics are significant because of their ties to the Eridians. Sirens are said to thrive off of Eridium ore, a material known to the ancient alien race of Eridians that produced these items. It is unclear if more about these connections will be made known in Borderlands 3, or if Artifacts, Relics, or a similar item will be found in the new game.

Each Vault Hunter in Borderlands represents a distinct class. Each class has its own strengths and weaknesses, and follows a unique progression path called a skill tree. When playing with others, classes can take on certain roles, like that of a tank or a healer. In Borderlands 3, players may swap between three skill trees per class.

Mayhem Mode is a new mode introduced in Borderlands 3. Mayhem Mode is activated upon the completion of the main story of Borderlands 3.
Players are taken to a mysterious terminal aboard Sanctuary III that can enable three difficulty levels: Mayhem 1, Mayhem 2, or Mayhem 3. Taking on one of these Mayhem Modes ups the ante on risks and rewards across all worlds: enemies get increased health, shields, and armor, while you get bonus cash, Eridium, experience gains, and chances for better loot.
Mayhem Mode applies Mayhem Mods to any planet you visit, which force you to adapt to new playstyles and combat approaches in response to a random selection of modifiers.

The planet Promethea was first exploited by the Atlas corporation, who was able to reverse-engineer alien technology present on the planet to make advanced machinery and weapons. The planet is now a futuristic metropolis. In Borderlands 3, the Maliwan Corporation has taken over the Atlas Corporation settlement in cooperation with the Calypso Twins. Their motivation for doing so is currently unknown, but it has drawn the attention of the Crimson Raiders, who are actively seeking recruits.
