You'll come up against Killavolt in Lectra City, when you get to the end of the aptly named "Kill Killavolt" quest for Moxxi. He can be a right pain in the backside though, so follow our Borderlands 3 Killavolt guide for some tips.

Captain Traunt

Captain Traunt is the boss at the end of the Athenas planet, and he's a combination of all three types of heavy enemies; incendiary, corrosive, and shock. You have to fight him in an enormous courtyard with a number of smaller enemies spawning throughout the fight, so our Borderlands 3 Captain Traunt guide has some helpful tips for you.

Katagawa Ball

Skywell-27 is a fantastic planet to run around and explore, but right after Rhys sticks it to the man and blows up Zanara, ol' Katagawa – who you've only heard on your comms until this point – emerges in control of an enormous death sphere. Called the Katagawa Ball, it can prove to be a seriously tricky fight if you don't know exactly what to do. Our Borderlands 3 Katagawa Ball fight has a number of tips you can use to get through it.

Give me a game and I will write every "how to" I possibly can or die trying. When I'm not knee-deep in a game to write guides on, you'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging balls on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Manager, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
