Vault Hunters around the world are preparing for the release of the Borderlands 3 Bloody Harvest event, Gearbox's Halloween-themed limited time update for its looter shooter, which goes live later today; Thursday, October 24. 

While Gearbox hasn't revealed the official live times for event just yet, the Bloody Harvest Challenges have already become available to view in the game's main menu on PC in specific territories. 

The set of 15 challenges, as outlined by YouTuber Menthex, are an easy way to earn all of Bloody Harvest's unique loot, with new rewards for completing certain tiers of the temporary tasks.  Here's the full list, and what you need to do to fulfil each one:

Ranking the best Borderlands games, from Common to Legendary

As you can see from the Bloody Harvest Challenges alone, there's a lot to dig into with this year's Borderlands 3 Halloween event from Gearbox, alongside the lasting loot, cosmetics, and currency that you'll be able to accrue from progressing through this list. 

It's hopefully not too much longer before the full event itself goes live in tandem with these challenges, as the Bloody Harvest vendor, Maurice, can also be found wandering Sanctuary, though the NPC can't yet be interacted with for trading in any currency for loot. We'll keep you informed here on GamesRadar+ as soon as we hear anything more.
