Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandsfans have learned a fair bit about what the game will have to offer in recent months. All six of theplayable classes inTiny Tina’s Wonderlandshave been detailed, while gamers have also received an extensive look at the spin-off’s character creator. New mechanics like spells and melee weapons have been detailed, while fans have gotten a look at the fresh HUD and altered manufacturer names that will appear in the game.
However,Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandsfans wondering how the endgame would work have been waiting patiently for some news. Fortunately, Gearbox has finally delivered, highlighting the Chaos Chamber through a trailer and an extensive blog post. Based on the description of the mode, it could keep gamers coming back for hours on end, providing some excellent sources of loot and randomly generated rooms to fight through.

How Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands’ Chaos Chamber Will Work
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandsis designed to be highly replayable, and it seems poised to succeed in this area more so than theCircles of Slaughter, Trials, and other replayable mission types Gearbox has introduced over the years. Players will follow the same structure every match, which sees them clearing out three dungeon rooms of enemies and fighting a mini boss. They then clear out three more rooms before battling a final boss, making for six regular fights and two boss encounters in total. Each Chaos Chamber will take between 20 and 30 minutes to clear.
After a dungeon room that does not end with a boss fight is cleared, players will have two portals that allow them to choose what they see next - similar to how players pick objective portals inCall of Duty: VanguardZombies. Players will only have three lives to reach the end of a Chaos Chamber, though even if they fail, they will keep all the loot they secured along the way. According toGearbox, there are over sixty level layouts, and with players only seeing 1/10 of them on each run, it should take some time for the mode to get repetitive. Further, players can see up to three different enemy types in each room alongside some traps - adding some variety once again.
Chaos Chambers provide players with Moon Orbs, a currency that allows players to re-roll Enchantments (Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands’ version of Annointments) on gear. While this currency is used outside the Chaos Chamber,Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandsfanswill be able to collect Crystals from smashable dice in the dungeons. They can also be collected from optional objectives that appear in the dungeons. These side objectives task players with protecting and destroying statues, defending a certain area, and feeding a living orb some souls.
As for what players do with the Crystals, they serve a few purposes. First, collecting more Crystals ensures that gamers get more loot at the end of a Chaos Chamber, so players should be thorough and make sure they get as many as possible on each run. Players can also spend them on Blessings, which provide buffs like more critical damage, and Curses, which provide more Crystals but raise the difficulty. Essentially, Curses activate effects like those seen inBorderlands 3’s Mayhem Mode, as Gearbox detailed a familiar effect where enemies deal more damage when close together.
At the very end of a Chaos Chamber, players will be able to interact with a rabbit statue of their choosing, a clever offering to the dungeon’s creatorTiny Tina. These rabbits will puke rainbow bile and gear in exchange for Crystals, with players able to choose exactly what loot they want due to the icons on the statues. The gun icons will provide loot from one specific category of weapons, while wearable gear icons will provide Rings and Amulets. This should make grinding for specific items much less tedious, as players can limit the loot pool to a specific category.
Chaos Chamber also includes an end of match stat screen that letsTiny Tina’s Wonderlandsfans see how they did in their run, while Featured Runs are weekly challenges that always feature the same room and side mission layouts. Players can compete to finish the mission quickly and to see who can get the most Crystals, checking to see where they rank against otherTiny Tina’s Wonderlandsplayers. With this neat social feature and a thought-out approach on the part of Gearbox, Chaos Chambers could end up being some of the best endgame content intheBorderlandsfranchise.
