The new Borderlands 3 DLC called Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot comes out on December 19, where players can take on the challenge that Moxxi presents them.
Your client, Moxxi, asks you as the player to take control of the space station built by Handsome Jack.

So even if users are for example level 30, they can still take on a challenge. What is important to know is that players must have unlocked Sanctuary 3, otherwise it is not playable.
The expansion includes new legendary weapons and cosmetic items, as well as a new skin for the Echo Device. Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot is the first of four dlcs and is part of the Season Pass and the Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe edition. The dlc will be released on December 19.
In addition, a free content update is also being released. This adds a new challenge: Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite. This is a raid-style challenge for co-op parties with four characters of the maximum level.
Other changes that the update entails are that bosses have their own lottery, making it easier for players to collect legendary items and items. The maximum for Bank Space is also being increased from 50 to 300.
