Borderlands 3: Broken Hearts Day Seasonal Event Guide

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and Borderlands 3 is joining in the fun with its Broken Hearts Day event! Whether you’re spending the day with someone special or flying solo, this seasonal event brings plenty of fun and rewards. The event runs from February 13 – 20, so you’ve got plenty of time to join in the festivities!
How to Earn Broken Hearts in Borderlands 3
The goal of the Broken Hearts Day event is to break hearts—literally! Hearts will appear above enemies, and your task is to shoot them before the enemy is defeated. If you kill the enemy first, the heart will disappear, so be sure to focus on breaking them. Once a heart is broken, you’ll trigger a buff, which could be one of the following:
- Sizzling Lover: Explodes, dealing corrosive damage.
- Burning Desire: Explodes, dealing fire damage.
- Bro Love: Temporarily converts enemies into allies.
- WrongEventError0285743: Releases ghosts when destroyed.
- The Big Muscle: Temporary health buff.
- Looty Boi: Explodes into a pile of loot.
Every heart you break is added to your total. Once you reach the required amount, you can claim your rewards from Maurice.
What Rewards are Available During the Broken Hearts Day Event?
Maurice has a variety of seasonal items available for you to unlock during the event. The items can be unlocked by completing specific heart-breaking milestones. Here’s what’s up for grabs:
- “ECHOcardiogram” ECHO Skin – 10 hearts
- “Cosmic Romance” Weapon Trinket – 25 hearts
- “Terminal Polyaimorous” Legendary Maliwan SMG – 50 hearts
- “Heartbreaker” Vault Hunter Skin – 75 hearts
- “Wedding Invitation” Legendary Jakobs Sniper Rifle – 100 hearts
To unlock everything, you’ll need to break 100 hearts. If you focus on fighting human enemies like bandits, this should take about 1.5 hours.
Legendary Weapons in the Broken Hearts Event
The Terminal Polyaimorous is a Legendary Maliwan SMG that you can unlock by breaking 50 hearts. This SMG can switch between Incendiary and Shock elements, making it a versatile choice for your arsenal.

The Wedding Invitation is a Legendary Jakobs Sniper Rifle you can unlock at 100 hearts. Its flavor text reads, “Will you be the rest of my life?” The weapon enhances accuracy and handling when your Action Skill ends.
That’s all you need to know about the Broken Hearts Day event in Borderlands 3. It’s a great opportunity to get some sweet rewards and enjoy a fun, limited-time event. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the game, this event is a perfect excuse to jump back in!
