The Gearbox game will help the scientific community to continue studying both physical and psychological illnesses.
Science and video games can also go hand in hand. Gearbox and 2K Games have announced a new initiative that will be channeled through Borderlands 3, the latest game in this crazy saga of unbridled action. Borderlands Science is the bet that the study has built in order to help scientific research, as the company has announced. Thus, a minigame has been added that allows the player to contribute by earning ingame rewards.
The researcher Mayim Bialik is the protagonist of the video that you can see on these lines. As he explains, when playing the Borderlands 3 minigame, data is sent that scientists can analyze later. It is a kind of puzzle game in which the user must complete levels. Bialik claims that cataloging the data is complicated because computers make small mistakes in classifying DNA sequences.
This initiative will allow a better understanding of these errors, which will lead to a better understanding of the functioning and composition of the human body. In summary: the research may focus on learning more about diseases such as obesity, diabetes or depression. To access, just go to Sanctuary III.
Borderlands Science has already hit one million puzzles completed in # Borderlands3! Run over to Tannis ’Lab on Sanctuary III to join in…. for SCIENCE!

Borderlands 3 has released its second expansion
The season pass includes four expansions that expand the history of the video game. After the publication of The Moxxi Blow to Jackpot the Handsome, it was the turn of Arms, love and tentacles: the wedding of Wainwright and Hammerlock, which came out on March 26. As its title suggests, the marital bond has a lot of love, but also of arms and violence. Regarding future expansions, the company has not yet revealed details: "What's coming for Borderlands 3 looks good with its third and fourth expansion, and we are excited to be able to tell you more about them later," the study said.
Borderlands 3 is available on PS4, Xbox One, PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) and Google Stadia.
