Axton In Borderlands 3: How To Find The Commando

Quick guide on finding Commando in Borderlands 3!

Axton in Borderlands 3 is something that many players have been looking forward to since before the game came out in 2019. He’s been a fan favorite of Vault Hunter since his introduction in the second game of the Borderlands series.

Many players, myself included, expected him to appear in the base Borderlands 3 game as an NPC, in much the same way that the original Vault Hunters made an appearance in Borderlands 2. But alas, this never actually happened.

Key Takeaways
  • Axton The Commando did not make an appearance in the Season 1 Pass for Borderlands 3 but it changed in Season Pass 2.
  • The new mode added called the single-player battle royale mode was commentated by none other than the commando himself Axton and Salvador the Gunzerker.
  • With a hilarious set of dialogues, these 2 make a huge difference in gameplay making it far more enjoyable and entertaining.
  • There is no way to meet these 2 commentators as they are just present in the form of voices.

To find Axton, particularly in the Arms Race mode, you don’t physically encounter him as a character in the game world. Instead, Axton serves as one of the narrators alongside Salvador in the Arms Race mode. Here’s how you can experience their presence:

  1. Play Arms Race Mode: Axton and Salvador serve as commentators in the Arms Race mode, a single-player Battle Royale scenario introduced in Season Pass 2 of Borderlands 3.
  2. Collect Loot and Stay Alive: In Arms Race, your objective is to collect loot while surviving against hostile enemies. Throughout the mode, Axton and Salvador will provide commentary on your performance and actions.
  3. Listen to the Commentary: While playing Arms Race, pay attention to the humorous commentary provided by Axton and Salvador. They offer insights, jokes, and feedback on your gameplay as you progress through the mode.
  4. Enjoy the Entertainment: While you don’t physically meet Axton in the game, his presence as a commentator adds entertainment and humor to the Arms Race mode. Appreciate the witty banter and commentary provided by Axton and Salvador as you navigate through the challenges of Arms Race.

If this doesn’t interest you, may I suggest that you look outside Earl’s door for a unique vending machine instead? This is the only shop in the game that sells Anointed Gear, which are some of the best weapons in the entire game.
