10 Recent Video Game Levels That Made You Rage Quit

2. Borderlands 3 - Slaughterstar 3000

Some of the hardest levels in gaming are optional. The 'Circle of Slaughter' is a mission in Borderlands 3, and also one of the 'Circles of Slaughter' arenas, which is available upon completion of the main game.

The rewards for completing this arena is high, but at the cost of a gruelling gaming experience. The level involves fighting waves of Maliwan dickheads (their words), before fighting two bosses. Even on lower difficulties this is a challenge for even seasoned Borderlands players.

The main criticism of this level is that it is much too long, with some attempts lasting hours. Running out of ammo is also a constant factor, which is critical to a game based on the mechanic of shooting everything that moves.

Enemies will take much more punishment than usual. They are also ruthless, able to potentially down a player in one hit.

These arenas are very co-op focused, so trying to complete it on solo on the hardest difficulty will stretch players to their breaking point.

Like most wave based levels, failure means starting from the beginning, so if this happens, maybe it's best to leave this alone for a while.
