受膏效果調整

隨著最後一次等級上限提升登場，我們認為現在是改變目前最有效之受膏效果戰略的好時機。我們發現有幾個不分角色的受膏效果經證明能成為所有角色與配點的首選。在我們今天帶來變更之後，我們希望看到角色專屬的受膏效果能成為最有效組合，與先前相比，將為發展其角色技能樹及主動技能的玩家帶來更多獎勵。我們預期玩家會對此議題做許多討論，因此我們會密切留意玩家社群的意見。若有必要，我們會再對這些變更做更進一步的調整 。

武器調整

我們對能在更高混亂等級和兩個「激鬥」任務中取得的一些裝備做了調整。我們的目標是從「混亂4」到「激鬥！馬立萬秘密設施」到「混亂6」再到「激鬥！庫衛者破口」提供階梯式的遊戲體驗。套用這些變更後，玩家在遊玩這些內容時應該會感受到裝備威力漸漸提升。以下裝備的殺傷力皆獲得提升：

「混亂4」裝備

• 克雷德的EM-P5
• 坦克人的護盾

「激鬥！馬立萬秘密設施」裝備

• S3RV-80S-EXECUTE
• 月之火
• 凱布的資產
• 重分者

「混亂6」裝備

• 反流
• DNA
• 多次點按

「激鬥！庫衛者破口」裝備

• 擲網者
• 環球者
• 煙霧
• 光速手榴彈模組

• 更新了「雪橇」傳奇級神器，以提供預期的滑行獎勵
• 更新了魔女「死神的祝福」職業模組上的物品卡，以準確表示加成
• 為「槍、愛情與觸手怪」追加內容中的諸多裝備指定專屬的來源

以下裝備現在有了專屬來源：「芙拉瑪騙局」、「內行人」、「瑟里爾凱勒」、「奧瑞丁」、「火炬」和「老神」護盾，及每個職業模組。祝大家獵寶愉快！

• 重新平衡了傳奇武器的掉落權重

對傳奇裝備掉落率的調整，代表著相較於其他武器類型，狙擊步槍的掉落率不會變得太高

• 提升了所有魔王掉落的戰利品數量
• 提升了主遊戲和資料片中魔王掉出職業模組和神器的機會
• 提升了職業模組與神器出現在試煉之地試煉寶箱中的機會
• 提升了玩家從試煉之地試煉寶箱中獲得傳奇獎勵的機會

若玩家以最快時間完成試煉，他們現在應該擁有除外觀物品之外的所有傳奇獎勵（外觀物品的掉落將不分稀有度）。

• 提升了寶庫卡片寶箱獎勵的伊利錠數量。

我們一直在觀察社群使用伊利錠的方式，也同樣認為寶庫卡片寶箱提供的伊利錠數量太少。所以我們把獎勵的伊利錠數量提升至500。

• 提升了「殺殺不息」魔王掉落的伊利錠數量

上週，我們為試煉之地試煉職業模組和神器提供了更為可靠的終局刷寶處。本週，我們提升了「殺殺不息」魔王掉落的伊利錠數量。每個魔王（大屠殺之星3000中僅為「赤雨」）將掉落額外500伊利錠給玩家作為獎勵。

• 提高了完成寶庫卡片挑戰的獎勵經驗值
• 擴大了副本魔王快速傳送站周遭區域，確保所有玩家都能啟用
• 移除了鑽石軍火庫護之盾池中的傳奇「坦克人的護盾」和其他混亂4+裝備
• 移除了鑽石軍火庫之混亂衝鋒槍池中的「P2P網路人」

移除是暫時的，之後還會出現！

• 降低了寶庫卡片「超級士兵」的護盾加成

這只是暫時方案，用以解決玩家有時會利用某些角色技能創造出意想不到的額外護盾堆疊的問題。我們目前正在尋找長遠的解決方案，屆時數值將會恢復。

上週，我們調降了玩家以混亂等級遊玩時的戰利品整體掉落率，多數社群玩家都非常認同此一改動！我們也看到了一些社群玩家對職業模組等裝備掉落率太低以及神器更難找到所表達的疑慮。這些疑慮很有道理，我們完全理解，並也認為應提高玩家獲得這類裝備的整體機會。我們一方面希望確保傳奇裝備的特殊性，一方面想讓大家投入的時間獲得回報。我們將持續觀察，並在未來進行微調。

我們也打算將「槍、愛情與觸手怪」追加內容裡的遊戲世界掉寶移至專屬來源。

• 提高了試煉寶箱出現職業模組和神器的機會
• 提高了在稀有寶箱中找到傳奇裝備的機會

其他Hotfix

今日的Hotfix將於台灣及香港時間凌晨3:00在所有平台釋出。若要套用Hotfix，只需於主選單等待「Hotfix已套用」符號出現即可！若玩家遇到任何問題或想提供意見，請提交回報單至support.2k.com。

• 調整了玩家使用混亂等級時的世界掉寶機率

• 防止神器在玩家於「歡樂大奪殺」裡達到27級解鎖之前掉落。
• 提升了傳奇裝備出現在庇護所三號黃金寶箱中的機會。
• 降低了在混亂6及更高層級中使用混亂調整的被動技能所造成的傷害。

啟用混亂調整的被動技能在傷害概覽中造成了極大的波動，且這些波動遠遠超過了正常的傷害範圍。針對這些波動所做的平衡調整會消除配點多元性，並強迫玩家使用非常固定的配點。這與我們不斷追求的多元性目標不相符，因此我們做了更進一步的適當調整與變更。

• 實施特務「承諾」技能最高兩層疊加，使之與相似的技能相符，防止過多疊加。

此技能的設計宗旨與贊恩的其他擊殺技能相同，均為疊加兩層。去年秋季發現可以疊加更多層時，我們決定放任不管，因為當時並未造成太大的問題。但為了實施之後的內容平衡調整，我們認為有必要將疊加層數限制為與原始設計相同。

• 將槍手「火爆浪子」的傷害加成從75%降低至50%
• 提升了魔女的「次元投影」和「次元重擊」技能造成的傷害：
• 次元投影 - 投影傷害提升5%
• 「解脫」加成提升5%
• 「殘響」加成提升10%
• 「濕婆之舞」加成傷害提升10%
• 次元重擊 - 重擊傷害提升10%
• 「破裂」傷害加成提升至35%
• 「墜落」加成提升至10%

我們根據社群提供的意見提升了阿瑪拉主動技能的傷害，以彌補一些特定裝備被削減的傷害。我們將繼續密切注意她，並在後續做必要的變更調整。

• 將庫衛者技能「創始者」的傷害加成從25%降低至10%

武器調整

上週，我們得知一些玩家對裝備是否已套用增益感到困惑。現在為大家帶來好消息：若你已經套用了Hotfix，就能夠得到增益。這些武器的變更並不會顯示在它們的物品卡上！

魔女「殘餘」技能造成的傷害高出我們的預期。此技能只應影響槍械和技能傷害，但我們發現，它也為近戰、滑行和重擊增添了未列出的加成。因此我們處理了這個漏洞，並且對由此漏洞獲益的一些裝備做了調整。

• 移除了魔女「殘餘」技能未列出的近戰、滑行和重擊傷害
• 調整了「魚拍」手榴彈模組造成的近戰傷害
• 降低了「白象」神器的黏性手榴彈傷害加成

新內容

• 新增對「設計師加強版」的支援

- 新增了四棵專屬每位寶庫獵人的技能樹 - 新增了「歡樂大奪殺」 - 新增了多重宇宙最終型態外觀給擁有季票的玩家

• 新增了混亂11

開發師說明：混亂11就是未啟動任何模組的混亂10。在此混亂等級中，遊戲世界掉寶的品質與數量皆減半。混亂10裝備會在混亂11裡掉落，所以在此等級不需要重刷任何裝備。你可選擇用混亂10快速裝備你的角色，或用混亂11在沒有模組的情況下慢慢裝備角色。

• 更新受膏效果以支援四棵技能樹

開發師說明：除了更新受膏效果以支援四棵技能樹，我們也改變了受膏效果的啟用方式，使其不會在錯過啟用時依然啟用。魔女不再能用「假裝掌握」來啟用受膏效果，獸王也不再能用伽馬爆發的同時仰望天空觸發受膏效果。我們會監控這些改變對角色和其配點的影響，並會在未來視需要進行調整。我們的目標是要確保沒有寶庫獵人因受膏效果啟用而獲得不公平的優勢。

• 新增14項全新主動技能傷害受膏效果

開發師說明：我們針對所有技能樹新增了全新系列的主動技能傷害受膏效果。現在所有寶庫獵人的主動技能都有受膏效果來提升他們的輸出傷害了。

一般

• 移除了敵人的混亂等級裝備
• 新增了支援最終型態角色的外觀至新生復活站
• 更新了一些載入畫面訣竅讓玩家看得更懂些

配對

我們希望藉由以下變更改善所有內容類型的配對時間。在此提醒各位玩家，你永遠都可透過社交選單進行配對。

• 將歡樂大奪殺納入配對
• 將試煉和殺殺不息結合成單一配對池
• 處理了在「激鬥」地圖配對的玩家會被安置到不同配對池的問題
• 更新了配對池，未來配對池的建立僅會考量混亂模式是否啟用，而不是替每個混亂等級建立一個配對池

角色

特務贊恩

藉由今日推出的修補程式，我們對贊恩的技能樹和職業模組做了幾項改動。我們這麼做是希望增加技能樹的多元配點性，同時也希望藉此移除專注配點在單一職業模組的依賴性。作出這些改動時，我們決定應該將一些特定技能移至原技能樹的不同位置。

為了套用這些技能改動，贊恩玩家必須在將技能樹更新為新配置後，儲存/離開他們的角色。原本配置給四項已交換技能的技能點數，會在玩家第二次載入角色時由系統退還。若玩家沒有足夠點數可解鎖先前已配置點數的高階技能，必須在使用這些高階技能前先重新配置退還的技能點數。

技能樹變更

殺手樹

「死神將至」是一個非常強大的被動技能，比巔峰「殺紅眼」的效果要強上許多。這感覺似乎強弱倒置了，所以我們交換了這兩項技能的位置，讓它們能更加適當地代表各自的價值。請記得，這些變更需要玩家儲存/離開你的角色後才會正常運作。

• 交換了死神將至和殺紅眼在技能樹上的位置
• 新增了擊殺技能加成+15%至殺紅眼

臥底樹

如同殺手樹，此樹的中階被動和巔峰技能強弱錯置了。此變更可讓玩家從護盾獲得更多的值，而透過防火牆獲得的屏障則會換到樹較下層的位置。請記得，這些變更需要玩家儲存/離開你的角色後才會正常運作。

• 交換了「自信就是實力」和「防火牆」在技能樹上的位置
• 提升了「自信就是實力」的槍枝傷害

雙面間諜樹

有鑑於於膠帶模組的發生機率升高，這對近距離作戰的贊恩可是一場災難。現在玩家不用怕手榴彈發射時會被意外炸倒了。

• 膠帶模組現在賦予贊恩對自己武器和手榴彈所產生的傷害免疫

職業模組

潛入者

• 全面升級了護盾的能力，無論主動技能在何時啟動護盾都能在擊破前補充

看見死神

此職業模組一直以來都過於強大，所以我們從模組中移除了部分的力量。為了緩和這個變更，贊恩殺手樹的「殺紅眼」被動技能已獲得了增強，讓所有玩家無需使用此職業模組便能有效獲得額外傷害。

• 降低了主動技能傷害加成

魔女阿瑪拉

特定類型傷害會意外地影響到遭魔女次元抓取的其他敵人。此變更可防止這種互相影響，但此技能在其他方面則未作變更。先前的Hotfix並未完整處理所有已發現的問題，而此解決方式即是一個更為強大又永久的方案。

• 更新了「共享羈絆」，此技能未來僅能向敵人輸出武器和近戰傷害
• 在次元重擊後可增加武器或近戰傷害的武器受膏裝備，現在會適當增加傷害
• 更新了「Muse」職業模組避免其獲得額外的傷害模組

獸王FL4K

• 寵物現在可從全球手榴彈受膏裝備中獲得傷害加成
• 處理了使用「拉剋獸出擊」主動技能和「清點人數」被動技能造成連續暴擊時，「拉剋獸出擊」沒有適當獲得充能且冷卻時間遭重設的問題回報

ECHOcast更新

• 新增了對次世代主機Microsoft Xbox S/X和Sony PlayStation 5的支援。
• 為Twitch ECHOcast新增了對4棵技能樹的支援
• 為Twitch ECHOcast新增了對歡樂大奪殺的支援
• 觀看在遊玩歡樂大奪殺期間使用ECHOcast的直播主時，物品欄、技能樹、庫衛者等級標籤皆會隱藏。「稀有寶箱」活動也會停止並由「汲取器突破」活動取代
• 遊玩歡樂大奪殺時，會出現一個新的地圖標籤，並會產生一個標註重要地點的遊戲內地圖。這些重要地點包括：

- 玩家位置 - 重生點 - 汲取器位置 - 魔王區域 - 死亡圓圈大小、位置和狀態之間的時間

• 替ECHOcast新增了一個新的歡樂大奪殺活動：汲取器突破！

此全新的ECHOcast活動會針對歡樂大奪殺制訂出合情合理的設定，給觀眾贏得直播主物品的機會！在歡樂大奪殺中，玩家必須帶走掉落的裝備才能在該遊戲模式外使用該裝備。此活動讓觀眾有機會贏得直播主在遊戲模式中遊玩時及打敗魔王後帶走的物品。

Hotfix

這些變更將在台灣及香港時間凌晨4:00在所有平台生效。若要套用Hotfix，只需於主選單等待「Hotfix已套用」符號出現即可！若玩家遇到任何問題或想提供意見，請提交回報單至support.2k.com。

特務贊恩的變更

今天我們對贊恩的被動技能與職業模組帶來了一些變更。強化過武器之後，我們開始檢討職業模組對寶庫獵人配點多元性帶來了哪些影響。調查過社群意見後，我們做了以下變更讓贊恩於遊戲終局之後有更多職業模組可用。今日變更的大多數被動技能強化，皆為職業模組所用且先前表現差強人意。我們已經為贊恩規劃了更多的變更，將透過未來的hotfix及修補程式釋出。

技能變更

冷槍難防

• 提升了加成傷害

此技能只為切換武器後的第一發子彈提供額外傷害。此加成在本質上會較不常出現，因此我們大幅強化了其傷害。有了此變更後，我們很期待能看見圍繞小彈匣武器、狙擊步槍等武器而製作的新配點。

膠帶模組

• 手榴彈的冷卻時間減半

我們發現此被動技能的價值因每個手榴彈間的冷卻時間而受限，因此我們將其冷卻時間減半。玩家將需要隨時留意冷卻時間和自己所裝備的手榴彈模組，才能發揮此被動技能的最大價值。 

宛若鬼魅

• 提升了忽略子彈的機率
• 提升了每個啟用主動技能的加成

疊加的加成只會在每次贊恩的主動技能啟用時發生。這在遊戲後期相當不常出現，因為玩家通常都有更長的主動技能持續時間。我們以那種遊玩風格為考量進行了此變更。 

電光魔術

• 提升了傷害加成

此技能的傷害取決於瞄準贊恩與贊恩複製人的敵人數量，因此有時較難預測。為更準確地平衡此不一致性，我們強化了傷害加成。

冰冷復仇

• 提升了霜凍爆發造成的傷害

一點都不痛

• 提升了傷害減免

為鼓勵玩家考量能移除元素傷害的配點，我們強化了這個傷害移轉。

職業模組變更

防凍劑

• 提升了受到冰凍傷害期間的移動速度

指揮家

• 提升了傷害加成

此職業模組的傷害加成取決於玩家所剩的主動技能持續時間。在例如電光魔術等技能中，此傷害可能感覺相當不一致。我們提升了傷害加成來讓其提供更為可靠的傷害。

劊子手

• 提升了數據加成

玩家建議稱，作為擊殺技能所提供的數據加成不夠強，無法感受到其價值。我們大幅提升了這兩者。

科技精英

• 提升了重設SNTNL無人機冷卻和持續時間的機率

此職業模組的設計宗旨在於提供一種讓贊恩的無人機能近乎永久運轉的方式，但在只有5%機率重設冷卻與持續時間的情況下，效果並不夠一致。我們提升了此狀況發生的可能性。

新內容：

• 增加了對《邊緣禁地3》第四款戰役追加內容「狂匪克里格與驚奇瞎搞之旅」的支援
• 等級上限提升5級，成為65級

一般

• 為手槍、霰彈槍、衝鋒槍、突擊步槍和手榴彈增加了2個SDU升級，同時為庇護所三號上失物招領機增加了2個擴展SDU升級
• 處理了多人遊戲中「補充彈藥」提示會一直停留在用戶端玩家畫面中的問題
• 玩家職業圖示現在會顯示Steam和Epic Games Store PC跨平台玩家的資料相片

混亂

• 在玩家啟用「殺手」並在近戰中殺死一名敵人時，他們現在有機會從「殊死一搏」狀態中恢復
• 玩家透過配對加入遊戲時，不再會變更混亂模組
• 為帶有「爆發」或「反射」的護盾增加對混亂傷害調整的支援

• 阿瑪拉的「共享羈絆」增益現在僅會向敵人輸出槍支和近戰傷害

• 獸王的「清點人數」被動技能不再會阻止「拉剋獸出擊！」造成暴擊時獲得適當數量的充能
• 獸王的「支配」技能在持續時間內會一直傷害動物類型的目標
• 在敵人受到濺射傷害或是元素持續傷害時，獸王的「疊加機器人」職業模組不再會重設它的傷害疊加提升
• 獸王的「友善機器人」職業模組現在會提升寵物的傷害
• 槍手的「沉溺彈殼」被動技能現在會向鋼鐵熊霸的兩支武器套用獎勵傷害，而不是只有左邊武器

遊戲品質上的新變動

製造儀專屬的傳奇發射模式

• 製造儀現在具備了名為「傳奇」的副射擊模式，可花費250伊利錠生成1至3把傳奇武器。你可像操作其他武器一般切換至此副射擊模式，並能在發射時能看見紫色效果。

可在老鳥獎勵販賣機購買任務獎勵

• 玩家現可在庇護所三號瘋厄爾門外的老鳥獎勵販賣機購買於先前任務中獲得的獎勵。在任務完成後，任務獎勵會自動新增至商品池中，讓玩家使用伊利錠購買！

可在販賣機購買傳奇裝備

• 我們根據社群意見重新平衡了販賣機商品，現在於各類型販賣機將有少數機會買到傳奇裝備。我們也將罕見（綠色）稀有裝備自「今日推薦物品」商品池中移除。

寶箱和狠角色獎勵調整

• 無論是在寶箱裡找到的獎勵，還是狠角色敵人掉落的獎勵，兩者品質皆已稍微強化，目的是為了確保寶箱能提供獎勵性和興奮感，讓玩家打敗艱難敵人後得到適當激勵。

專屬戰利品池調整

魔王的專屬戰利品池已徹底翻新，希望能營造出更可靠和更令人滿意的刷寶體驗。大多數魔王會掉出兩件裝備，當然也有例外。為了達到這個目標，我們啟用了下列魔王的復活功能，並重新調整了他們的裝備，使掉寶更平均。

• 砂石車
• 送葬者
• 碎肉
• 屁股咬和松露嚼
• 希嘉
• 羅納
• 雷克斯
• 馬克斯
• 亞契‧羅威
• 血光仙子
• 受膏者穆多克
• 阿提米斯
• 阿波羅
• 波波大王
• 納舍國王
• 受膏X2
• 受膏X3
• 受膏X4
• 阿札莉亞
• 普斯頓中尉

受膏效果池調整

為了進一步改進刷寶體驗，我們檢視了受膏效果池，並發現部分受膏效果對社群的吸引力不如我們的預期。考量到受膏效果池的深度，我們移除了下列21項受膏效果。目前任何具有這些受膏效果的裝備皆能正常運作，但此次更新後掉落的裝備將無法套用這些受膏效果。

• 在空中時，暴擊傷害提升了25%
• 在空中時，傷害提升了30%
• 在空中時，射速提升了20%
• 在空中時，準確度與操縱性提升了75%
• 在滑行時，傷害提升了40%
• 在滑行時，準確度與操縱性提升了50%
• 在滑行時，射速提升了25%
• 在滑行時，可累積能量補充部分的護盾值
• 當主動技能啟動時，略微減少所有受到的傷害
• 當主動技能啟動時，受到傷害值的250%將會作為電擊傷害反彈至攻擊者身上
• 主動技能結束時，暴擊傷害會短暫提升25%
• 主動技能結束時，製造一個傷害鄰近敵人的賽博尖刺
• 主動技能結束時，生成一個長達數秒的治療池
• 主動技能結束時，射速及裝填速度會短暫提升11%和26%
• 主動技能結束時，武器準確度與操縱性會短暫大幅提升

• 離開鋼鐵熊霸後，會有5秒鐘時間不消耗彈藥
• 使用次元重擊後，受到的傷害會減少20%，移動速度則提升12%
• 使用次元抓取後，武器準確度與操縱性會大幅提升

掉寶率說明

為了改善魔王戰的刷寶體驗，這次更新針對幾個魔王進行微調，但是大多數魔王的掉寶率沒有改變。在縮減專屬戰利品池並移除21項受膏效果後，我們決定先觀察變動帶來的影響再看看未來可以怎麼做調整。

穩定度

• 處理了在分割畫面下可能發生當機的情形
• 減少了使用多種元素攻擊敵人時因造成傷害而產生的拋射體數量，並將拋射體彈跳次數限制為4次。 

我們調整了拋射體在傷害事件中的生成方式。我們發現在玩家進行遊戲時，若生成過多元素拋射體會造成穩定度下降與效能問題。這是因為一些武器生成的拋射體數量超過了遊戲效能所建議的。遞迴、航母、熊狸、鉛彈槍和其他武器皆會受到此變更影響。我們將持續觀察玩家使用這些武器的方式，再看看未來可以怎麼做調整。

一般

• 包含了「草莽大鏢客」戰役追加內容的額外支援語言
• 處理了已探索全部具名地點後，獎盃/成就有時仍處於鎖定狀態的問題
• 回溯授與獎盃/成就給達成要求的玩家

• 處理了在「草莽大鏢客」劇情資料片中重新啟動遊戲後，武器飾品會從收藏中消失的問題
• 處理了噴氣獸迫擊砲會造成兩次傷害的問題

混亂模式

• 處理了獸王寵物炙炎蜘蛛蟻在發動噴濺攻擊時，意外地多次受到混亂傷害調整的問題
• 提升了混亂模式中寵物傷害調整幅度

在變更炙炎蜘蛛蟻的噴濺攻擊後，我們想確保玩家在混亂模式裡使用其他寵物時，不僅能樂在其中且還能造成可觀的傷害，所以適當強化了寵物傷害。

• 處理了特務的數位分身和O.P.Q.等特定武器互動時，會多次受到混亂模式傷害調整的錯誤
• 處理了槍手的鋼鐵熊霸和Minesweeper等特定職業模組互動時，會多次受到混亂模式傷害調整的錯誤

我們在傷害設定中發現了一個現象，這會讓特定裝備和技能組合有機會造成過度傷害，我們認為這些組合與遊戲其他部分不一致，所以制定了更符合我們預期平衡目標的解決方案。

• 處理了在混亂模式中，槍手和特務在使用不同職業模組時，意外地受到等級提升傷害的問題
• 處理了玩家受到混亂模組的技能傷害調整時，受膏裝備「當主動技能啟動時，持續觸發造成X傷害的晶球」錯誤調整的問題

• 處理了在使用莫茲的自動熊霸時，榴彈發射器沒有在啟動「不銹鋼熊霸」被動技能期間造成額外傷害的問題

特效

從玩家社群的反應來看，上個修補程式帶來的「草莽大鏢客」和混亂模式的所有修改調整讓大家都玩得很開心。玩家們採用及互相分享的各種光怪陸離的不同配點一直都讓開發團隊笑個不停且樂在其中。我們對這些改動為整體遊戲帶來的豐富變化性感到高興，也希望這能鼓勵大家重新審視一些之前沒有好好瞧瞧的技能、配點和裝備。由於現在還處在改動之後的初期，我們將繼續觀察玩家的反應並聽取社群提供的意見，然後再處理那些可能過於強大或威脅到玩家多元化遊玩方式的配點。

• 等級上限提高了3級，現在為60級

• 新增了混亂層級的車輛傷害調整
• 更新了數個被動技能，讓其能更妥善配合混亂層級傷害

上述的傷害來源現在都會根據所處的混亂層級來調整其傷害。考量到不同的技能和裝備會與不同類型的傷害互相連動，因此每種傷害類型也會經過獨特調整。這是個重大的變更，我們會持續注意社群的反應意見，並據此調整裝備、技能或傷害調整來確保多元配點的蓬勃發展。為配合此次調整，有數個被動技能經過更新，使用不同形式的傷害，以避免它們有不妥當的調整。

• 將技能傷害新增為職業模組中可骰出的數值

職業模組現在可以骰出額外的技能傷害加成。搭配基礎的混亂等級技能傷害調整，我們預計以技能為中心的配點將在混亂模式後期成為更可行的選擇。

• 替手榴彈模組新增混亂層級

手榴彈模組會像武器一樣在混亂模式中掉落，並附加取得裝備時對應混亂層級的額外傷害。

• 變更了「殘餘」、「火爆浪子」、「一視同仁」、「己所不欲」和「共享羈絆」的傷害來源，以解決它們在更高混亂層級中出現「雙衰退」和不當調整的問題

• 進一步提升近戰和主動技能傷害

武器調整

我們正在考慮全面調整製造商和武器類型，使武器之間在基礎層級上更加平等。我們仍在監控傳奇裝備之間的平衡性，但想先處理數類武器，好增加它們在武器配點中的使用機會。

所有手槍將得到微弱提升，包括雅各伯斯手槍得到最低限度的強化、馬立萬手槍得到最大限度的強化。由於敵人生命值池已增加，低彈匣容量武器，比如手槍，已變得沒那麼受歡迎。全部手槍的傷害提升，將會增加在配點中裝備手槍來匹配其他武器選擇的機率。

我們還提升了所有泰地沃衝鋒槍的傷害，因為我們相信投擲武器爆炸造成的傷害應該是循環不可或缺的一部分。然而，與使用其他衝鋒槍射擊敵人相比，投擲武器是不切實際的。在滿彈匣時投擲與射擊之間的取捨將更戲劇化。

寶庫之子、達爾和雅各伯斯突擊步槍的傷害已提升，好匹配一些弗拉多夫突擊步槍。我們會讓玩家先嘗試其他製造商的改動之後，在全面評價弗拉多夫突擊步槍。

最後，我們增加了傳統多子彈霰彈槍的傷害。海比力昂、馬立萬和雅各伯斯全都得到傷害提升。和高射速武器相比，一些此類霰彈槍的表現不佳，而現在它們可以造成更大傷害。

• 提升所有製造商手槍的傷害
• 提升泰地沃衝鋒槍的傷害
• 提升寶庫之子、達爾和雅各伯斯突擊步槍的傷害
• 提升海比力昂、馬立萬和雅各伯斯霰彈槍的傷害

• 重新平衡了混亂層級7、8、 9和10的敵人生命、護盾和裝甲的混亂數值

混亂層級7、8、9和10的生命、護盾和裝甲數值加成已減少。混亂10的加成現在已從12500%降為10000%，而層級7至10的降幅也已適當調整。

• 做了一項變更，現在只有主機玩家可以選擇或套用混亂模組的改變
• 處理了要你命9000、克拉肯、沃坦和艾斯塔有時不會生成混亂層級裝備的問題

• 混亂模組「暴民心理」和「連鎖幫眾」無法再同時變更啟用
• 混亂模組「地板就是岩漿」的發射頻率已下降，它所承受的傷害也不再計算入內，從而幫助玩家留在戰鬥之中
• 混亂模組「連鎖幫眾」現在會於玩家接近時產生光束，並在玩家遠離時消散，藉此讓它們的發射頻率下降
• 最佳化了混亂的戰鬥時間更新

上述四項變更是為了要讓「混亂2.0」執行地更加順暢，我們也將繼續監控「混亂2.0」的效能並在未來做出調整。「夥伴系統」和「無人機騎警」混亂模組將繼續進行測試，不會在這次更新回到遊戲中。

若要套用Hotfix，只需於主選單等待「Hotfix已套用」符號出現即可！若玩家遇到任何問題或想要提供意見，請提交回報單至support.2k.com。

• 將「卡特爾集團的復仇」受膏裝備增添至裝備的永久掉落池中
• 處理了曼塔柯爾和剋拉嘶的尖刺忽視贊恩屏障的問題
• 重新平衡了「激鬥！庫衛者破口」敵人一次生成的數量

武器調整

如上面的修補程式說明所述，我們已調整了混亂層級7以上的生命值、護盾值和裝甲值。在這部分的變更中，我們需要調整裝備來適當反映這一點。隨著更高混亂層級的敵人生命值、護盾值和裝甲值下降，會讓玩家覺得目前所擁有的裝備能更有效率地擊敗更高層級的敵人。衝鋒槍已經成了最受歡迎的武器類型之一，所以我們將此次更新的重點放在該武器上。我們認為這些改變搭配上難度調整是令人可以接受的。在接下來幾週，我們會觀察玩家的反應予以見並在未來做出必要調整。

武器強化

就衝鋒槍類型武器的相對深度來說，適用的衝鋒槍數量感覺起來不夠多。因此，幾把衝鋒槍會在本週提高殺傷力。

• 提升了婊子的武器傷害
• 提升了鐵臂帥哥傑克的武器傷害
• 提升了獻身的武器傷害
• 提升了死雲術的武器傷害
• 提升了海嘯的武器傷害
• 提升了十加侖的武器傷害
• 提升了開膛手的近戰傷害加成

開膛手的近戰傷害加成不足以激勵其執行預期循環，我們已強化了近戰攻擊的傷害。

• 提升了征服者的武器傷害

強化了征服者的基礎傷害，以及滑行時的加成傷害。如同開膛手一般，在此次更新之前，滑行加成的效能不足，導致它的核心循環沒能得到使用。

• 提升了征服者滑行時的加成傷害

現在，開膛手和征服者在接受了自己的獨特循環後，攻擊應該會十分有效。

武器弱化

我們發現有幾個裝備效能過強或沒有按照原設計運作，進而意外迫使玩家們獨斷地使用它們來建構技能，這種情況也會讓玩家略過隨著混亂層級上升而成長的機會。透過調降這些數值並處理這些資料，玩家應該能使用其他裝備來體驗遊戲。

沙鷹

我們發現沙鷹會製造出過多粒子系統，進而產生效能相關的問題。同時，它也會對其他狙擊步槍產生過多傷害。為了處理這個問題，我們做了下列變更。

• 提升了射擊耗彈，自2升至3：我們提升了武器發射的耗彈量，所以玩家必須在彈藥管理上更加三思而行。透過新增至「卡特爾集團的復仇」的額外SDU，玩家應該還是能多少用上這把武器。
• 移除了2個拋射體：如上述所說，此武器的效能成本過高，所以我們移除了每次射擊中的兩個粒子系統。這個變更也會移除武器的部分傷害輸出。
• 提升了準確度擴散：為了彌補失去拋射體的差異，我們擴散了攻擊模式的範圍，所以它的攻擊範圍仍會涵蓋相同區域。
• 降低了拋射體有效時間：連續射擊中過多的粒子系統會對效能造成重創，所以我們已降低了拋射體有效時間。
• 提升了拋射體速度：讓武器保持戰鬥效力依舊相當重要，所以為了抵銷拋射體有效時間的降低，我們必須提升速度。套用這些變更後，這把武器的效力和先前相同，甚至更具有反應性。

黃餅

我們在黃餅身上發現了一個不太妙的問題，這個問題可有效地為它增加100%的額外傷害，遠遠超過我們的預期輸出。我們會在今天修正這個問題。

• 變更了傷害數值：黃餅套用了不正確的傷害數值，大幅超過了它的預期傷害值。我們將使用預期數值來改變它。
• 減少了分裂拋射體傷害：由於各個分裂拋射體也同樣效能過強，我們將會降低其傷害值。

高森

高森擁有比預期更為強大的力量，因此也讓它成為衝鋒槍首選。透過今日的變更後，高森在主要的爆炸傷害加成上，應該仍然能提供足夠的傷害，只是不會擁有過去那種規模的威力。

• 提升了準確度衡量：它的準確度可讓玩家造成精確瞄準傷害，接著透過增加的爆炸傷害來最大化傷害輸出。我們增加了準確度衡量來追求更精準的爆炸傷害加成。
• 提升了最大準確度：在全自動模式時，它的攻擊範圍非常緊湊，因此再一次讓它擁有了超出我們預期的最大傷害值。我們適當提升了準確度最大值。
• 減少了暴擊傷害：此武器提供的爆炸傷害會讓暴擊頻率增加，所以我們會略為調降它的暴擊加成。
• 降低了基礎傷害：有鑑於高森主要有兩階段傷害，首先是最初的子彈，接著是爆破子彈，這種攻擊方式會比典型衝鋒槍提供更多的傷害。我們將調降基礎傷害來更準確調整它的雙重傷害特徵。

受膏裝備強化

遊戲中有幾個受膏裝備未提供足夠的數值，因此讓它們無法有效供玩家使用。為了增加配點的多元性，我們將強化幾項受膏裝備。

• 空中受膏裝備：我們提升了空中受擊傷害、暴擊傷害和射速受膏裝備的效率。同樣地，空中受膏裝備也有一個錯誤，為了持續改良這件受膏裝備，我們已經將該錯誤修復。我們特別好奇玩家們會在「激鬥！庫衛者破口」中使用哪一種配點。
• 滑行射速：它也有一個錯誤，這個錯誤造成它無法提供預期的加成；我們會透過本次Hotfix解決這個問題。
• 為了讓更多配點能多加利用這類型的受膏裝備，許多受膏裝備已經過強化。無論是射速、下2個彈匣加成傷害和濺射傷害都提升了傷害值。

自動熊霸有效火焰傷害：此傷害獲得了更顯著的強化，讓鋼鐵熊霸的

• 處理了死亡時混亂模式有時不會獎勵現金、伊利錠或經驗值的問題
• 處理了用風暴和火焰風暴傳奇武器開火時有時不會生成元素魔法球的問題
• 將具有非角色指定元素暴擊受膏零件的武器中「受膏槍手」不準確文字移除
• 在桑科和斯洛特的物品池中增加蒙古王火箭發射器，並提升它的傷害
• 修改了《激鬥！馬立萬秘密設施》中魔王和小魔王、沃坦及女武神小隊的專屬戰利品池
• 提升了《激鬥！馬立萬秘密設施》中魔王和小魔王的專屬戰利品池掉出超過一個傳奇物品的機會

我們透過今天的Hotfix稀釋了沃坦專屬戰利品池。之後，馬立萬秘密設施護盾只會從女武神小隊專屬戰利品池掉出，而馬立萬秘密設施武器只會從沃坦專屬戰利品池掉出。此改變不會影響這些敵人的世界掉寶。搭配上允許一次可能掉落超過一個傳奇戰利品的改動，玩家遊玩該內容時應能獲得更輕鬆、更穩定的刷寶體驗。

感謝所有已加入「卡特爾集團的復仇」活動和體驗過「混亂2.0」的玩家！我們一直在密切觀察大家的反應，並且發現在4月24日的修補程式推出後，遊戲出現了一些穩定性上的問題。因此，我們再釋出了另一個Hotfix暫時停用2個太耗資源的混亂模組：「邊境問題」和「無人機騎警」。目前遊戲的效能和穩定性已獲得大幅改善。我們將繼續努力處理玩家所遭遇的各種問題。今天釋出的Hotfix將更進一步根據玩家社群的回饋調整掉寶率和受膏率。若玩家遇到任何問題或想要提供意見，請提交回報單至support.2k.com。

• 處理了「混亂模式」中傳奇物品的掉落率
• 處理了「混亂模式」中受膏裝備的掉落率
• 在卓識星上啟動「宇宙尋翻天」活動
• 降低了O.P.Q系統突擊步槍的次要射速，以防止由於槍手技能所生成的大量無人機而引起的遊戲穩定問題

Characters

• Buffs for Moze, the Gunner

During our investigations into Moze’s viability, we determined a handful of changes that we were unable to include as a hotfix and are now included into today’s patch. Specifically, we’ve made some changes to allow a few of her skills to regenerate health, or her shields. We’ve also increased the damage output of a few skills.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR MOZE, THE GUNNER:

As we mentioned during last week’s hotfix, we are continuing to work on improving the Gunner’s survivability and Iron Bear's viability in higher levels of Mayhem. This week brings another set of hotfixes to Moze’s skills based on our investigations. The below notes list the numbers as they will be changed on the skill descriptions.

• Explosive Punctuation: Increased the cooldown rate awarded to 8%
• Hammerdown Protocol: Increased the damage output to 600% and reduced the reload time
• Click, Click…: Increased damage bonus from 12/24/36% to 20/40/60%

Update Notes

New Content:

• Added support for Borderlands 3 campaign add-on: Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock
• Level Cap increase - New Max Level 57

Here it is! Two capstones, everyone! We’re excited to see what interesting new builds everyone creates with these additional skill points!

• 3 New Guardian Rank skills and Guardian Rank Increase

Here are the first 3 new Guardian Rank Perks! In the Enforcer tree we’ve added “C’mon and Slam,” allowing you to use the slam at any height. This should make slam gear a lot more interesting. For the Survivor Tree, you can now enable “Too Angry to Die,” allowing any damage you do to enemies in Fight For Your Life to slightly extend your down time. Finally, in the Hunter tree we added “Harmageddon,” where additional damage is done to enemies that have received multiple static effects.

• New campaign add-on Game Menus that will allow players to start the campaign add-on with an auto-leveled character

You can now immediately jump into new DLC content right from the menu! You’ll start the game with a character leveled up to where the DLC content would be unlocked, and you can start right in the new content.

• Support for the ECHOcast update and new Moxxtail Events

Viewers can show their appreciation for their favorite streamers with Moxxtail Events, which let you convert Twitch Bits into in-game beverages that provide the streamer with various limited-time buffs. We have a full explanation of how they work in our Moxxtail Events guide, so be sure to check that out if you want to dabble in some Borderlands 3 mixology.

Stability

Performance

• Optimization improvements
• UI Optimizations

General

• Gear lower than level cap no longer drops when player and enemy characters are each at level cap

We saw the community feedback here and agreed that seeing gear below the level cap, when at the level cap, was not an ideal experience. Characters at max level should no longer receive gear at a level lower than their character through chests and drops from enemies that are also at the level cap.

• Added the ability start a campaign add-on with an auto leveled character
• Added support for more Guardian Rank perks
• Re-balanced game stage regions starting from about Act 2 on to better follow the player growth

Based on data and community feedback, we have adjusted the leveling experience post-Act 2 to better ensure that enemies are properly leveled to players as they move into the second half of the game. This change will only impact characters created after this patch is live.

Hotfixes for Guns, Love, and Tentacles

In order to prevent confusion when players load up Guns, Love, and Tentacles, we’ve identified some potential issues and have been able to pre-emptively put out hotfixes related to them. Make sure that your hotfixes are applied to benefit from the weapon buffs and to prevent the following from occurring. Check that the “Hotfixes Applied” sign at the main menu is active before loading into the game.

Addressed a concern that creating a new game to skip to the add-on content would grant the players class mods they were unable to equip

Guns, Love, and Tentacles Weapon Adjustments:

Soulrender

• Increased Soul Render Damage

Anarchy

• Corrected the Item Description and Red Text to show in the correct area

Oldridian

SF Force

Serryul Killur

• Addressed a reported concern that the Siren’s Fist Over Matter skill was sometimes not working as intended if it was not in the hosts’ view
• Adjusted the collision at the stairs in Quietus Pike to prevent players from sometimes sinking into the ground after destroying the second vine door
• Changed the Operative’s Cool Hand skill description to show the correct values
• Addressed a reported concern that Tyreen would occasionally re-appear after the cutscene during “The Great Vault”

• The first time players launch Borderlands 3 after the update through Epic or Steam, they will be asked to choose a Gearbox Software SHiFT Display Name. This name is displayed in-game when playing with other players. You can change your display name at any point in the Account Details tab of the Social Menu.
• Added backend functionality for Gearbox Software SHiFT Matchmaking so players can play with both Epic and Steam users
• Added functionality to use the player’s SHiFT Display Name to find and join friends playing on PC regardless of platform

Menu Changes

• Added two new buttons to the Roster Tab of the Social Menu
• "Find SHiFT Friend" allows you to enter the exact SHiFT Display Name you’re looking for to add as a friend or block
• "Manage SHiFT Friends" allows you to view all current SHiFT friends and game invitations
• All friends will have an icon to indicate if they are a friend through Gearbox Software SHiFT or your PC platform (Epic or Steam)
• Added additional pages to the SHiFT tab of the Social Menu

• Added “Friend Sync” toggle to give players the option to sync friends from Epic and Steam to Gearbox Software SHiFT
• Added “PC Cross-Play” toggle to give players the option to be included in PC Cross-Play matchmaking pools (when toggled to “Off”, players will only be paired with other players on their current PC platform)

Note: Currently, players are still only able to send mail to players on the same platform. This will be changed in a future patch.

Additional Fixes

• Addressed a reported concern that scrolling functionality was sometimes not available in Vending Machines and item cards were sometimes not staying on the screen

General

• Addressed a reported concern that was causing Typhon to sometimes be a potential blocker in “Shadow of Starlight”
• Addressed a reported concern that the Jabbermogwai was sometimes not dropping loot at the correct rate

Characters

We're looking to go over each of the Vault Hunters to identify any inconsistencies in gameplay. Some of these concerns will have to be addressed via patches, but for issues such as incorrect values being listed, we’re able to adjust in hotfixes.

• Removed the Gunner’s “General Winter” minigun damage penalty and Cryo penalty.
• Adjusted the Gunner's “Exploding. Bullets.” skill to match the current damage output, which was sometimes higher than stated on the skill description
• Addressed an issue with the Beastmaster’s “Furious Attack” skill where it was sometimes rounding its values and making the skill description and damage output appear inconsistent
• Addressed an issue with the Beastmaster’s “Hunter’s Eye” skill where the skill description was sometimes showing values from incorrect fields

Location Re-Balancing

This adjustment will only affect new characters as we continue to improve and balance progression. We'll first implement this change on Friday, March 13 for PC players on Steam and Epic; players on all other platforms (PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Stadia, and Mac) will receive these improvements in a patch coming later this month.

We found that new players were consistently entering certain areas over-leveled for the content they were playing. This occasionally trivialized those areas, as enemies were sometimes much weaker than intended for that point in the game. We also found that some side missions later in the game were largely ignored because of these balance irregularities. These balance changes bring the enemies up to the average level that we see players hitting in these locations.

• Various areas and side missions on Nekrotafeyo should now match the average level of players
• Enemies in The Anvil should now match the average level of players

Vault Hunters:

UPDATE NOTES

New Content

Broken Hearts Day Event

Maurice, your sentient Saurian shipmate on Sanctuary III, is continuing his study of humanity's customs, and has taken an interest in our strange courting rituals. To help him understand the emotional rollercoaster that is Broken Hearts Day, you'll need to blast the floating hearts that are popping up over baddies' heads all over the galaxy. Maurice will reward you with sweet Broken Hearts Day loot for your trouble, including two level 53 weapons: Terminal Polyaimorous and Wedding Invitation!

Event Toggle

For the Vault Hunter who already has everything, or prefers their gameplay to be more straightforward, you can now disable the Broken Hearts Day Event in the main menu. This highly requested feature will be included for all future seasonal events as well.

Skippable Cutscenes

With this patch, you can now skip all cutscenes in the game, whether you've seen the cutscene before or not, during solo play or by the host of your party during multiplayer! Simply press any key during the scene and you'll be prompted to confirm the skip.

Level Cap increased to 53

The level cap has been increased to 53, providing everyone with 3 more skill points to aim for! We are looking forward to seeing what interesting combinations the community finds with their additional skills and will have more to talk about in the future concerning level cap increases and character growth.

True Takedown Mode

We're introducing True Takedown Mode to the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite. As of this patch, there will be a way to re-enable the original version of the Takedown scaled to 4 players. Future Takedowns will also launch with both modes enabled.

The default setting keeps the Takedown scaled depending on how many people are in your party. To turn back on 4-player scaling, toggle the new switch to the right of the Takedown door.

Guardian Ranks

You are now able to turn off individual Guardian Ranks or the whole system! If there are any perks that aren't playing nice with your builds, you can now disable them! Furthermore, for those who want to enjoy a vanilla leveling experience, you have the ability to disable the entire system. This includes both stat bonuses and all perks.

When the patch goes live, the Guardian Rank system will be turned off by default, giving you a great opportunity to look through your perks to see if there's anything new you want to try! Note: while the Guardian Rank system is turned off, you will not be able to gain ranks.

Stadia

With this patch, Stadia is now caught up to the other platforms! Stadia players can now access Moxxi's Heist of The Handsome Jackpot, fight through Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite, and take advantage of the QOL improvements that were included in previous patches.

In a February update, we will include a new switch to re-enable what we call True Takedown Mode. True Takedown Mode will restore the Takedown to the 4-player experience that it launched with for extra difficulty. Once implemented, a lever activating True Takedown Mode will be located on the right side of the door leading out of the airlock at the beginning of the map.

RARE SPAWNS AND DROP RATES

Once the Farming Frenzy event is over, we are implementing a permanent change to the Rare Spawns and Drop Rates. After analyzing play patterns, we are permanently increasing the spawn rate for these enemies and have buffed their drop rates and their Anointed chance to be on par with bosses.

RARE CHEST RICHES EVENT

When the hotfixes roll out today before 3:00 PM PST, a new event will be activated! During the Rare Chest Riches Event, which runs until February 13 at 8:59am PST, all Rare Chests will drop rare loot at an increased rate, so you're more likely to receive Legendary items any time you open one. This increased drop rate will also apply when you watch a Twitch streamer open a Rare Chest, assuming both of you have the ECHOcast Twitch Extension enabled. Any rewards you score while watching streamers will be waiting for you in your in-game mailbox the next time you play Borderlands 3. In case you haven't done so already, click here for a step-by-step guide to linking your SHiFT and Twitch accounts so you can receive ECHOcast rewards. The Rare Chest Riches event will also apply to the Stadia version of Borderlands 3.

• Addressed a reported concern with itemcard and hotfix sometimes not showing information correctly
• Addressed a reported concern that Judge Hightower was sometimes not dropping items from his dedicated item pool
• Adjusted the balance of Fabrikator, Freddie, ST4NL3Y, Constructor, Tony Bordel, Tricksy Nick, and Third Rail to provide a greater challenge

Developer note – We noticed that the bosses in the Handsome Jackpot weren't providing players with a satisfying challenge. We'll be monitoring these bosses and make adjustments as needed in the future.

• The ION Cannon now has a 5 second reload and consumes at least 6 ammo per shot

The Ion Cannon is a strong weapon and we don't want to change that, but it's a little over performing. We've increased the reload time and made it consume more ammo but left its damage unchanged to still provide a strong burst of damage.

• Added collisions to prevent the Gunner from sometimes becoming stuck in Meridian Mercantile
• Added collisions to prevent players from sometimes escaping the map in various locations
• Increased the radius of the New-U station at The Arrogant Approach

Increased Anointment Effectiveness for the Operative, Gunner, and Beastmaster

In looking at the bonuses from Anointments, we felt that some were not providing enough of a bonus. We've increased the bonuses on the Anointments below.

Moze the Gunner

• While Auto Bear is active, deals 75% (from 20%) bonus incendiary damage
• After exiting Iron Bear, the next 2 magazines will have 125% (from 40%) bonus incendiary damage
• After exiting Iron Bear, gain 160% (from 120%) increased Splash damage for 18 seconds
• When entering and exiting Iron Bear, nova damage increased

Zane the Operative

• While Barrier is active, Accuracy is increased by 60%, and Critical Hit damage is increased by 70% (from 30%)
• While SNTL is active, gain 100% (from 50%) of damage as bonus Cryo damage

FL4K the Beastmaster

• When exiting Fade Away, nova damage increased
• After using Rakk Attack!, gain 50% (from 25%) critical hit damage for a short time

• Addressed a reported concern that FL4K's Furious Attack was sometimes not applying bonuses to pet damage as expected
• Addressed a reported concern that Rakkcelerate was sometimes not applying the cooldown modifier as stated on the skill's description
• Addressed a reported concern that Cheap Tip's total weapon shield capacity was sometimes not appearing in the tooltip on the item card
• Addressed a reported concern that The Arbalest of Discipline was sometimes spawning with just shields

Anointed Enforcer

We found an issue where Anointed Enforcer's immunity abilities would sometimes cause them to be more difficult than intended. We have lowered their health temporarily as we investigate further and find a permanent solution.

• Temporarily lowered the health on Anointed Enforcer

Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite

Thank you everyone for your patience as we work on the scaled Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite event. We were unable to bring it to you during New Years, but we are looking to start the event next week!

From January 16 to January 30, you'll be able to look forward to a slightly easier Takedown as you aim to grab as much of that loot as you can! If you've wanted to experience Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite but were having a hard time making progress or finding a party, this is the perfect opportunity to jump in and wreak havoc on Maliwan's most elite soldiers and robots. After January 30, we're bringing the event back up to its intended difficulty level.

Matchmaking Improvements

We've made some changes to the backend to improve the matchmaking experience in Borderlands 3. We've also moved the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite matchmaking option in the Social panel forward. The Takedown matchmaking service now won't transition players into the Takedown until a full party of four players have been found. We believe players would prefer matchmaking take a little longer in order to enter the Takedown with a full party. We'll be monitoring this change and will adjust as necessary.

Hotfixes

• Decreased the shields and armor on Maliwan Deathspheres in the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite

The recent patch improved the navigation of the Deathspheres in the Takedown. As a result, these enemies have become much more difficult to track and hit. To balance this change, we are lowering their armor and shield values.

• Addressed a reported concern that Terror was sometimes not dropping his loot when re-running Agonizer 9000
• Addressed a reported concern where loot could sometimes fall through the floor surrounding the Agonizer 9000
• Addressed a perceived progression blocker where enemies would sometimes not spawn immediately for the objective "Kill Traitors" in the mission "Porta Prison"
• Addressed a reported concern that Zane's "Trick of the Light" skill was sometimes reporting lower bonus damage values in its description than what it was awarding
• Addressed a reported concern that Moze's "Desperate Measures" skill sometimes wasn't awarding the damage bonus to Iron Bear's Right Gun

The next patch will be coming later this month and will contain the first DLC, Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot! It will also address reported concerns that we have seen in the last patch, including Guardian Rank and additional vending machines in Skywell-27.

Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot will be available to players on December 19 who have purchased the Season Pass or the Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition.

At the end of the month, look forward to spending the new year with Maliwan in Borderlands 3! In a time-limited event, the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite will be scaled depending on the number of players in your party. You'll be able to play solo or with a party of any size to score all that sweet Takedown loot!

• Addressed a reported concern where The Butcher could occasionally experience excessive recoil

Update Notes

New Content:

Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite

Lorelei has recruited the Vault Hunters to destroy a top-secret weapon Maliwan has been developing at their Blacksite. You and your squad should prepare for an extreme challenge because this content is balanced for four players at level 50. You can gain access to the Blacksite via a mission found on Sanctuary III after completing the main campaign with that character.

Takedowns feature special rules not found in the rest of the game! Respawning is disabled, so make sure you and your co-op partners get Second Wind or you'll spectate until the team wipes. If you do die, you're not out permanently! Die during the first half, you'll get to rejoin your team if they defeat the Valkyrie Squad. If you're out the second half, but your team manages to defeat Wotan The Invincible, you'll get to respawn to enjoy the rewards you didn't completely earn!

Make sure your squad is in the session before you throw the switch inside the Air Lock, or anyone who joins after the switch is thrown joins as a spectator!

Mayhem 4

Mayhem 4 is here for players looking for the toughest challenge in the game! Mayhem 4 adds another increase to enemy health, increases the loot drop chances, and adds a set of new Legendaries! Because the health value greatly increased, Mayhem 4 also slightly adjusts the random modifier system. Mayhem 4 will only roll one positive modifier for the player and one enemy bonus modifier. We want players to try different builds without severely hampering their ability to take down enemies in Mayhem 4. Note that Mayhem 1-3 are unchanged.

In addition to increasing enemy health and adjusting the modifiers, Mayhem 4 contains new Legendary weapons and class mods for players to hunt. These new pieces of gear will contribute to new builds and new ways to kill enemies!

To support Mayhem 4, we changed the Mayhem station slightly. Players will activate Mayhem through the center pillar and increase or decrease Mayhem levels by using the pillars on each side. Looking forward, we will monitor the challenge of Mayhem 4 closely. We're working hard on Mayhem 2.0, which will add brand new gameplay additions to Mayhem Mode in the future. Until then, we hope you enjoy the challenge and new loot!

Bank Expansion

All characters now begin the game with 20 bank slots instead of 10. The existing Bank SDUs will give everyone a total of 100 available spaces. An additional 10 Bank SDUs are available to purchase in Marcus's shop on Sanctuary III using the in-game cash currency, each awarding 20 spaces, for a grand total of 300 total bank spaces!

Dedicated Loot Pools for Bosses

All bosses have been updated with new loot pools that give them dedicated Legendary items to drop. Players can now discovery which bosses drop their favorite gear and more easily farm their favorite items. Let the hunt begin!

Additional Vending Machines

The following environments have received additional vending machines. They can typically be found before bosses or the mid waypoint in larger environments:

• Athenas
• Atlas HQ
• Lectra City
• Jakobs Estate
• Voracious Canopy
• Tazendeer Ruins
• The Pyre of Stars

Target Dummy

Players can take out their aggression, or test their gear, on a Handsome Jack target inside the shooting range on Sanctuary III.

End Game Character Balance

For this patch, we adjusted many passives involving companions such as Iron Bear, Digi-Clone, and FL4K pets in general. We wanted to increase their viability for later levels of Mayhem while also targeting some passives that were underperforming compared to some others. Iron Bear saw increases to the base scaling and additional bonuses were added through passives and augments. We allowed some of Zane's kill-skill bonuses to stack up to two times, increasing their output under certain conditions. FL4K pets also saw some increases over level to their damage so that they didn't feel underpowered for Mayhem Mode. We are currently happy with the variety of Amara's builds, but we are always monitoring feedback and will adjust if necessary.

Moze

• Iron Bear Damage increased per level, to a total of just under 150% at max level
• Desperate Measures now gives Iron Bear the bonus too

Hotfix Notes

Hotfixes are separate from the update and applied at the main menu when Borderlands 3 is connected to the internet. Unlike updates, hotfixes are not permanent—they are temporarily stored in memory during the game session and lost upon exiting Borderlands 3. To ensure that you receive hotfixes, make sure that your system is connected to the internet when Borderlands 3 boots up and hang out on the Menu screen until you see the background change (right now, you're looking for pumpkins)!

• Addressed a reported concern that the Legendary Maliwan "Recursion" ricochets sometimes failed to target ghosts
• Adjusted Rampager's item pool to allow for specific Legendaries to drop
• Addressed a reported concern that "Boom Sickle" sometimes showed incorrect part text.

We still have a lot of things that we're working on, including additional performance and stability updates, Mayhem updates and 2.0, skippable cinematics, and more. As always, we appreciate the feedback and support we've seen from the community. If you experience any issues with Borderlands 3 or today's patch, please submit a ticket to support.2k.com.

Fixes

• Addressed a reported concern that players would experience their screen shaking while in a party when one player used Bear Fist
• Addressed a reported concern with duplicated audio when Maya turns on the music in "Beneath the Meridian" when playing in a party
• Addressed a reported concern where players couldn't hear Aurelia's Holographic Doorbell answer the door
• Addressed a reported concern where some players were missing the waypoint when quitting out of the map or performing a save and load during the "Bad Reception" side mission
• Addressed a reported concern that the portal in Destroyer's Rift disappears after completing the mission "Divine Retribution"
• Addressed a reported concern that the Eridian structures were not resetting after player death during the Tyreen boss fight

Bloody Harvest

The Spooky Season is starting to fade from Borderlands 3! Starting with this hotfix, you'll start seeing less Haunted enemies until the event ends on December 5!

• Lowered the chance to see Haunted enemies outside of Heck.

Bloody Harvest Adjustments

Captain Haunt is a fun boss fight with multiple phases, but players were often skipping entire phases because Captain Haunt's shields were so low. We increased his shields to make the fight slightly more engaging for most players and dramatically increased the loot drop chance, so players are compensated nicely for defeating Captain Haunt.

• Increased Captain Haunt's chance to drop legendary gear
• Increased Captain Haunt's shields
• The Hecktoplasm drop rate from Ghosts has been increased
• Ghosts drop 2 Hecktoplasm
• Badass Ghosts drop 3 Hecktoplasm
• Loot Ghosts drop 5 Hecktoplasm
• Loot Ghosts now drop more loot
• Loot Ghosts have an increased the chance of dropping Bloody Harvest specific legendary gear

Terror Anointments

Following what we’ve seen and heard from the Community and the fading Halloween season, you’re going to start seeing less Terror anointed parts dropping from regular enemies. Bloody Harvest enemies (including Ghosts!) will be picking up the slack, so if you are hunting to make a spooky build you know where to look!

• The chance for Terror anointed parts to drop from regular enemies has been decreased.
• The chance for Terror anointed parts to drop from Bloody Harvest enemies has been increased.

Fixes

• Anointed enemies are no longer immune to Cryo damage.

Note: Although they can be slowed by Cryo damage, they cannot be frozen.

• Addressed a reported potential progression blocker for "It's Alive" with the Abomination bot.
• Addressed a reported potential progression blocker if players quit the game at a certain point in "The Guns of Reliance"
• Addressed a reported issue that Explosive Gunpowder barrels where not showing effects when shot.
• Explosions created by enemy Badass' weapons have a much quicker explosion effect to reduce screen clutter

We found that Badass enemies with heavy weapons were creating too many explosion effects that lingered on the screen, hindering the player's view at times. We are going to make a larger change to their weapons in the patch but wanted to shorten the explosion particle effect to dramatically lower screen clutter.

Fixes

• Addressed reported collision issues in various maps
• Raised the Eridian chest out of the dirt near The Terradome
• Made a modification to prevent certain players from escaping out of the Slaughter Shaft
• Addressed a potential progression blocker for "Footsteps of Giants" mission when fast traveling to a vehicle
• Removed an incorrect text description for the Legendary Sniper Rifle Stalker

No change has been made to the gameplay of the gun, only the text has been removed.

• Addressed a potential progression blocker during the "On the BloodPath" mission
• Addressed a reported concern that Emperor Spiderants were causing the screen to shake infinitely
• Addressed a reported concern where Rachael the Anointed's beam attack was not properly visible on all settings
• Addressed a reported concern that Troy was not spawning with his pistol
• Fixed a typo on mission text for "Blood Harvest: The Rebloodening"

Weapon fixes

Tediore E-Tech Shotguns were set to the wrong value and were corrected, resulting in a damage increase for all Tediore E-Tech Shotguns.

• Tediore E-Tech Shotgun Damage increased by 50%

Bloody Harvest – Happy Halloween!

As you play Borderlands 3 today, you'll notice it's even spookier! Haunted enemies are everywhere!

For TODAY, October 31 ONLY – You will see a drastic increase in the number of Haunted enemies!

It's a great day to work on those Bloody Harvest challenges, Vault Hunters! After today, the rates will go back to their normal values. In the coming weeks, you will start seeing more standard Anointments on your gear as the spooky season begins to fade from Borderlands 3.

Anniversary Event

We hope you all enjoyed the Mayhem on Twitch Anniversary event! After listening to community feedback during the event, we are making two changes to Mayhem Mode:

The chance of receiving a weapon penalty as a Mayhem modifier will continue to be reduced at the same rate as the Mayhem on Twitch Week.

The drop rate for Anointed gear has been increased.

Marking Gear as Trash/Favorite on PS4

After downloading last week's patch, some players on PS4 reported that they were unable to mark their guns as trash or favorite while in the inventory menu. We are working on fix for this and intend to implement it in the next patch.

Turning Off Guardian Rank

We have heard that some of you would like the option to turn off Guardian Rank. We're currently looking into how that can be achieved and intend to be able to provide more information in the future!

As always, if you experience any issues, please submit a ticket to support.2k.com. We're listening to your concerns and look forward to seeing everyone's feedback from this week.

Hotfix Notes

As stated in last week's stream, this week's changes focus less on weapons and more on fixes across the game. We are gathering data, reading feedback, and working toward improving all aspects of the game. Please keep submitting bug reports to support.2k.com!

Weapons

Flakker

• Now consumes 1 ammo instead of 5.

Fixes

• Addressed a reported bug with "Space-Laser Tag" which prevented some players from progressing to the next objective
• Atomic has been modified to no longer become invincible, as has been reported under certain conditions

• Increased checkpoint sizes of New-U stations in multiple locations
• Included a modification so that Zane's Digi-Clone will no longer spawn into the cage in Slaughterstar 3000

Those are a lot of notes to take in, and we're still hard at work addressing reported issues in Borderlands 3. But given that we're just about a month out from Borderlands 3's launch, we'd like to take this opportunity to outline our plans for future updates, including some of the community's most frequently requested changes. There can always be unforeseen challenges when working on patches and hotfixes, so we'll keep you posted on more concrete release timings as these updates continue to progress. Here's a look at some of the things we're working to implement in future patches.

Performance and Stability

Game performance and stability continue to be our top priorities. The first fruits of that labor will be released in our upcoming November patch, with various improvements game-wide. We've also been hard at work improving the game's stability and more improvements in this regard are expected to be included in the November patch. Performance and stability will continue to be an ongoing effort with more fixes rolled out with each upcoming patch.

The Bank

Expanding the bank has been the most consistently requested feature by the community. We've heard you loud and clear and the ground work for expanding the bank has already started. The first of several planned expansions will coincide with the release of Takedown at Maliwan's Blacksite. Expect a significant bank expansion that will more than double the existing space. Additional expansions to the bank will continue to be rolled out over future releases.

Dedicated Loot Pools for Bosses

Several of you have stated a desire to find gear more easily in the game. To do that we are updating the loot pools (the data that determines what in-game items drop) to ensure that more specific gear drops from bosses. That means you'll be able to go to a specific boss to get the specific gear you're looking for. We're working out which bosses get which gear right now and expect this to be ready as part of the November patch as well.

Character Buffs

In the late stages of the game when Mayhem Mode is active, we've found that player companions (Moze's Iron Bear, FL4K's pets, and Zane's Digi-Clone/SNTL) are reportedly not performing as well as we had expected. To address this, we're looking at how to adjust damage according to the relevant skills and gear. The goal here is to make sure we have as many viable character builds as possible.

Additional Mayhem Levels and Mayhem 2.0

Mayhem Mode has been a fantastic addition to the Borderlands world. After receiving some great community feedback, we've been hard at work on a significant revamp that will introduce a host of improvements over several upcoming updates.

The first update will be released as part of the Takedown at Maliwan's Blacksite and includes the first new Mayhem Mode level, Mayhem 4. Expect a significant challenge when it debuts, with tougher enemies that reward players with highly synergized character builds. A new batch of Legendary gear will also only drop while in Mayhem 4 to reward those players who are truly up for the challenge.

Longer term we have plans to overhaul Mayhem Mode with more UI support, new Mayhem Modifiers that change gameplay more dramatically, Mayhem playlists, new rewards, and additional levels of Mayhem to work through. We're excited about Mayhem 2.0 and we'll talk more about it when we get a little closer to its release.

Vending Machines

Marcus heard the outcry for more vending machines, so we're airdropping in some more across multiple maps. Expect new ammo and health vending machines outside of a few boss arenas and a few in some of the bigger environments. Below are the locations where the new vending machines will be appearing:

• Athenas
• Atlas HQ
• Skywell-27
• Lectra City
• Jakobs Estate
• Voracious Canopy
• Tazendeer Ruins
• The Pyre of Stars

Skippable Cinematics

We're currently investigating the best way to approach letting players skip cutscenes. This is much easier said than done. Under the hood, the game may activate critical events based on cinematics. In order to make sure mission progression isn't negatively impacted, we need to inspect each cinematic and make sure those events still work correctly. We have a few ideas on how to tackle this problem and expect to have a solution soon.

Target Dummy

Need an easier way to test your gear? We're going to add a target dummy to the shooting range on Sanctuary III! We feel this is the best location since your bank is also on the ship. This way you can manage and test your builds on Sanctuary III without having to travel anywhere else. You can expect to see this sometime in December.

The Future

The list above is only a high-level look at what some of our teams are working on. Stay tuned as we continue to add more information and additions to this list. We here at Gearbox are excited about where Borderlands 3 is heading, and we look forward to showing you all the content that's still to come!

This week's Borderlands 3 hotfixes adjust Legendary gear across all manufacturers. Our goal with Legendary gear is to enable a large variety of playstyles and builds for all characters. After looking through the data, we found that that some pieces of Legendary gear were greatly outperforming others and felt they were limiting builds instead of increasing them. In addition, some of the damage output of Legendary gear limited the growth in combat engagements for the future so we tuned everything to an acceptable median. We expect all Vault Hunters to be able to create amazing builds and we want to support that with more ways to grow and reach those power levels.

Weapon Hotfixes

Maliwan

• Westergun damage increased by 25%
• ASMD damage increased by 28%
• Cutsman damage reduced by 25%

Tediore

• Ten Gallon damage increased by 8%

Vladof

• Sickle reload speed increased by 25%
• Faisor damage increased by 15%
• Infiniti damage increased by 40%
• Magnificent damage increased by 25%
• Jericho damage increased by 40%
• Lucian's Call accuracy and handling reduced
• Lyuda Critical Damage Bonus decreased by 30% and made a modification to address a reported bug that an extra bullet was spawned in the center

The Lyuda's functionality is to split the projectile from 1 to 3 after a certain distance. It was reported that the original projectile was never destroyed in the process of splitting so 1 projectile actually became 4. Addressing this concern effectively removed a full shot's worth of damage which auto-corrects the base damage of the weapon. Since we increased all sniper rifle critical damage bonus in a previous hotfix, we reduced some of the critical damage bonus on the Lyuda.

Torgue

• Try-Bolt damage increased by 25%
• Alchemist damage increased by 25%
• Devils Foursum damage increased by 13%
• Flakker now consumes the full magazine when fired and damage is reduced by 33%

Flakker was greatly outperforming other shotguns due to the number of projectiles and the high rate of fire. We initially believed the resulting projectile spread would cause most of the explosions to miss the target, however this turned out to be false, so we reduced the projectile damage and allowed the weapon to only fire once per magazine. This change encourages players to capitalize on different stat bonuses to maximize the weapon's damage output.

• Laser-Sploder rocket projectiles spawn interval increased by 0.4 seconds

Jakobs

• Maggie damage increased by 35%
• Hellwalker damage reduced by 8%

Hyperion

We found that a couple of the Legendary Hyperion weaponry bypassed the Hyperion manufacturer playstyle too easily making their bonuses greatly outweigh the penalties. The Butcher was drastically outperforming all metrics and we chose to reduce the damage in order to keep the fast fire rate.

• Conference Call damage increased by 15%
• Crossroad accuracy reduced and it now fires 3 projectiles instead of 4
• Butcher accuracy reduced and damage reduced by 25%

DAHL

• Vanquisher damage increased by 20%

Children of the Vault

• Skeksis damage increased by 15%
• Linoge damage increased by 20%
• Pain is Power damage increased by 25%

Atlas

• Ruby's Wrath damage increased by 10%

Grenades

Hex and Firestorm were calibrated to the wrong grenade modifier. These two grenades were envisioned to specialize by applying elemental DoTs to targets. Instead they were resulting in large amounts of damage and the elemental DoTs were minimal. We realize this is a drastic change on both of these grenades, but we did not want to remove the spectacle of the grenade (number of grenades spawned, number of targets hit, etc.) and focused on allowing their core identity to be emphasized instead of them continuing to just be high damage grenades.

• Hunter-Seeker damage increased by 25%
• Hex grenade damage reduced by 70% and duration reduced to 3 seconds
• Firestorm damage reduced by 70%

Artifacts

It was reported that the Legendary artifact, Elemental Projector, had a bug resulting in the max value being displayed at 183% instead of the actual max value of 113%. Therefore, we addressed the discrepancy and reduced the max value to 90%.

• Elemental Projector damage max roll reduced to 90%

Vault Hunter Adjustments

The current state of Moze's Iron Bear, Zane's Digi-Clone, and FL4K's pets have made players focus on other elements besides those Vault Hunter's fundamental action skills in the late game. While longer term solutions to scaling their damage is explored, we have boosted the health of Iron Bear, the Digi-Clone, and the pets to make them more viable. We will have more to say about long term solutions for these characters in the future.

• Iron Bear: health increased by 50%
• All pets' health increased by 50%
• Digi-Clone: health increased by 100%
• Addressed a bug with Salvation where grenades were giving life-steal

Fixes

• Psychos will now use their True Vault Hunter Mode name in True Vault Hunter Mode
• Removed the optional Rare Spawn missions from Galaxy Progress
• Addressed a reported bug where Completely Sane Sid didn't always become hostile when using FL4K
• Addressed a reported bug where Ratch would not properly spawn during "Ratch'd Up", which potentially blocked completion of that side mission
• Included a modification so Lilith would continue to move toward the door in Shiv's confession chamber during "From the Ground Up"
• Lowered the chance for a weapon to drop from the Pachinko machine
• Included a modification so that Zane's Digi-Clone will no longer spawn into the cage in Cistern of Slaughter
• Shield Boosters were modified and are now set for autopickup
• An addition was introduced so Eridium chests are no longer listed as Red Chests in the ECHOcast extension

This week's Borderlands 3 hotfixes address some player character passive abilities, gear balance, and some quality-of-life issues across the game. We're watching the character builds that players are creating and are looking through all the different gear available to make sure that there is something for everyone. This week, and in the coming weeks, there will be further adjustments to gear with the hopes of creating even more build types. Our goal is to adjust some of the less-used Legendary gear to bring them to the same level as some of the more popular options.

In addition, we are addressing reported bugs and are hard at work continuing to address other performance concerns. Thank you so much for your feedback and support. Please continue to submit any bugs you run into at support.2k.com.

Vault Hunter Adjustments

Amara

We addressed a concern that Alacrity was only rewarding players one point worth of bonuses even if the player put in more than one point. In addition, we wanted Phasegrasp to be more accessible to all weapon types and play styles, so we doubled the range to grasp an enemy.

• Putting points into Alacrity now awards a reload speed bonus per rank
• Phasegrasp can now be used on targets further away and the cooldown is now instantly returned if a player misses

Moze

The Bloodletter class mod was creating some overwhelming synergies for Moze so we increased the delay and decreased the recharge rate of the shield to compensate. This should help encourage the intended use of this class mod, which is to heal shields manually, not automatically. Means of Destruction’s re-trigger delay was adjusted again because the change limited other builds beyond creating infinite grenades. The infinite grenade bug will be addressed in a future patch but we wanted to enable other builds that use Means of Destruction so we dramatically reduced the re-trigger delay to a reasonable number.

Bloodletter Class Mod

• Increased the Recharge Delay by 150%
• Reduced the Recharge Rate by 50%
• Addressed a reported bug with Close the Distance so the Action Skill Augment will now deal the intended Shock Damage
• Means of Destruction now has a re-trigger delay of 0.3 seconds

FL4K

The Leave No Trace change last week to FL4K was to forcefully inject the functionality of a cooldown into the ability. However, the value that was added was never the intended the value. We dramatically lowered it to retain the promise of the ability but with a cooldown that still allows players to gain ammo without dramatically removing a core aspect of a weapon’s gameplay loop.

• Leave No Trace now has a re-trigger delay set to 0.3 seconds

Zane

• Death Follows Close will correctly update several kill skills after unlocking this ability

Weapon Hotfixes

• The Lob's projectile tick damage is now 60% of base damage (up from 20%) and projectile speed decelerates faster to increase chances of hitting the same target multiple times
• Creeping Death damage increased by 200%
• Carrier damage increased by 60%
• Gunerang damage increased by 20%
• All Sniper Rifle Zoom Levels have been slightly reduced
• Long scopes on Jakobs, Children of the Vault, and DAHL Assault Rifles have also been slightly reduced

Anointed Parts:

• When Zane swaps positions with his Digi-Clone, the damage gained is increased to 130% (up from 75%)
• When FL4K hits a target with Rakks, the target now takes 100% increased damage (up from 50%)
• The Anointed part "Increased damage vs Badasses" no longer heals the player and now correctly adds bonus damage to Badass enemies

Fixes

• Pain, Terror, and Agonizer 9000 have been adjusted to have an increased chance to drop higher quality loot
• Addressed a reported bug with Dynasty Diner that could potentially halt mission progress for some players
• Addressed a reported concern that some players fell through the floors in various boss arenas
• Modified enemy spawn level discrepancies reported in the later parts of the campaign

We noticed that some enemies were spawning at lower levels than expected in the later parts of the campaign. Players should no longer see enemies that are dramatically lower levels than other nearby enemies in certain areas.

Stability

• Addressed a reported issue where an infinite loop could occur when hitting the Guardian Rank experience ceiling

General Fixes and Improvements

• The Hollow Point Guardian Rank skill no longer damages allies
• Hollow Point Guardian Rank skill has been re-enabled
• Addressed a reported issue where some players were unable to unlock the Ultimate Vault Hunter achievement on Xbox
• Addressed a reported issue where mouse functionality may have been lost when hot joining a friend's session on PC
• Addressed a reported issue where some players' inventory would not be saved in their bank

This week's Borderlands 3 hotfixes, which will be live on all platforms by or before 3:00 PM PDT today, contain some player character balance changes and address some player reported concerns regarding enemy behavior.

Our goal is to make sure all three Action Skills for each Vault Hunter are viable, but we have noticed some skills have been outperforming others. To encourage more build diversity, we made some adjustments to FL4K and Moze this week.

We also looked at a few boss fights and made balance changes to make their combats more enjoyable. Finally, we went over some enemy behaviors that could have affected mission progression and adjusted some attacks to happen with more frequency.

Vault Hunter Adjustments

FL4K

Rakk Attack! is great for constant damage output, especially when paired with Anointed gear. The base skill still seems to be lacking, so Rakk Attack! now has a guaranteed status effect on any enemy that it damages. Leave No Trace was returning much more ammo than intended, and we have added a re-trigger delay to keep its ammo return within expectation. Barbaric Yawp has an increased bonus, as we didn't feel that the amount of investment had an equal payoff. In addition, we felt that FL4K's pets were demanding too much attention, which was interfering with players trying to stand still for any length of time, so we disabled the ability for them to move you around.

• Rakk Attack! status effect chance as been increased to 100%.
• Leave No Trace now has a re-trigger delay of 2 seconds.
• Barbaric Yawp stat bonus increased by 100%.
• Pets no longer push around player characters.
• "Touch Pet" prompt is now a lower priority and should no longer interfere with looting or vending machines.

Moze

Infinite Grenades is not an intentional build for Moze—even if it is hilarious. To lower the power (and spam) of this build, a re-trigger delay has been added to the grenade portion of Means of Destruction.

• Means of Destruction now has a re-trigger delay of 2 seconds.

Miscellaneous Changes

• Adjusted the balance of Gigamind, Katagawa Ball, and Billy the Anointed

These three boss fights had concerns with their health and shields that made their combat loops more difficult than we intended. Gigamind had a little too much health, so that was reduced slightly. Katagawa Ball will no longer regenerate its shields; we found that while players contended with the adds during the fight, it would unfairly regenerate its shield, negating the players' progress. Finally, Billy had 25% of his health removed; we agree that this fight often dragged on needlessly. We will be monitoring each of these bosses and may make further adjustments in the future.

• Bloated Rakks no longer spawn so many Rakklesnakes
• This change should make the Cistern of Slaughter in particular much more fun.
• Adjusted the cooldown values when they are displayed for Zane's skills
• Amara's Glamour will now turn enemies on each other, as described in the Action Skill.
• Modified the loot spawn for Sera of Supremacy
• Spiderant Emperors occasionally wouldn't drill back out of the ground, which created a potential progression blocker in the Proving Ground of Survival; we have adjusted this and the issue has been addressed
• Resolved an issue that could have prevented enemies from spawning while in Devil's Razor
• Lavender Crawly's physics were adjusted to prevent them exiting the world like a popped balloon
• Further safe guarded Apollo from being launched out of world as well
• The Rampager will no longer enter an idle at state at inappropriate times
• Saurian Slingers attacks were addressed
• Guardians now use all their attacks in Playthrough 2
• Guardian Wraiths now reliably use all their ranged attacks
• NPCs in the Slaughter maps were reported to sometimes attempt to automatically revive players in the arena. Going forward they will no longer attempt to revive players.
• Minimized the glow effect when opening Eridian ammo chests, can more easily see the ammo inside when opened

This week’s hot fixes target weapon & enemy balance, player characters, and adjusting chances of specific unique drops. Billions of guns were fired and after collecting some data, we wanted to balance some weapon types and weapon manufacturers. These adjustments are intended to even the playing field and increase build diversity for all Vault Hunters. Speaking of build diversity, Zane has received a gadget upgrade and we’re excited to see players create more unique builds with him! Many Crew Challenge enemies have specific loot drops but we received reports that some were not dropping them. We have made some modifications so they now have an increased chance of dropping their unique gear in addition to any other gear that may drop!

Weapon Hotfixes

Sniper Rifles

Sniper rifles deal high damage but felt a little cumbersome to use in certain scenarios. This change will increase their overall damage and increase usability in more combat engagements.

• Critical Damage increased by 20%
• Fire Rate increased by 15%
• Time to Aim Down Sights (ADS) reduced by 15%
• Time to Equip reduced by 20%

Pistols

Jakobs and Torgue Pistols were outperforming other manufacturers, dealing damage to groups of enemies at a much higher rate than other pistols. This change keeps their identity intact but reduces overall group control. TEDIORE, DAHL, and Children of the Vault Pistols have manufacturer penalties that affected their overall damage. Increasing their overall damage will overcome some of the penalties while retaining their unique gameplay style and feel.

• Increased damage on all TEDIORE Pistols by 15%
• Increased damage on all DAHL Pistols by 15%
• Increased damage on all Children of the Vault Pistols by 20%
• Reduced damage on Jakobs Pistols by 15%
• Reduced damage on Torgue Pistols by 10%

Maliwan Manufacturer

Maliwan weapons had reduced overall damage because they applied elemental DoTs at a rate and damage greatly above other manufacturers. This effect was toned down before launch, but the overall damage was not sufficiently adjusted to compensate for the reduction in elemental DoTs. We’re adding back some of the overall damage and making the weapons faster so elemental builds can really take advantage of Maliwan weaponry.

• All Maliwan Weapon Damage increased by 25%
• All Maliwan Weapon Fire Rate increased by 20%

Atlas Manufacturer

Atlas weapons relied on a game loop that we felt gave players a greater advantage when used correctly. Turns out the loop is not used if the damage doesn’t compensate for the time to set up. So now damage on Atlas weapons should facilitate players using them in general on top of feeling badass when they take advantage of Atlas technology.

• All Atlas Weapon Damage increased by 25%
• Miscellaneous Adjustments

The Jakobs Assault Rifle change was to differentiate the Assault Rifle from the pistol as more of a mid to long range powerhouse. Since the Assault Rifles have low mag sizes compared to other Assault Rifles, they’re getting a slight increase to overall damage to compensate. DAHL SMGs had their Fire Rates adjusted down before launch but their damage was never sufficiently increased so they should feel more appropriate compared to other SMGs. And the Vladof Heavy Weapon damage has been increased to share in the full Heavy Weapon treatment.

• Jakobs Assault Rifles Damage increased by 20%
• DAHL SMG Damage increased by 10%
• Vladof Heavy Weapon Damage increased by 25%
• E-Tech TEDIORE Shotgun Damage increased by 50%

Legendary Modifications

We’re going to be making a larger, comprehensive Legendary gear pass but we have included the following changes. King’s and Queen’s Call were modified to lower the fire rate. The weapon has a limited burst shot count so overall feel of the gun isn’t dramatically affected.

• King’s and Queen’s Call Fire Rate reduced by 50%
• Firestorm and Storm base Charge Times were reduced to 1 second (down from 2)

Graveward

Graveward’s beam attacks did not properly scale based on level so at higher levels, the two beam attacks hardly phased players. Players will find his attacks to be more lethal now. In addition, Graveward is a very large enemy and is too easily susceptible to elemental damage unlike the other large bosses. Elemental damage on Graveward is now greatly reduced but to compensate, Graveward’s overall health was reduced.

• Attacks of Graveward now scale based on level
• Reduced overall health by 20%
• Increased resistances to Elemental Damage
• Elemental Chance Resistance increased by 70%
• Elemental Resistances increased by 30%
• Elemental DoT Duration taken reduced by 30%

Miscellaneous Changes

• Hollow Point Guardian Rank has been temporarily disabled. We plan on addressing this further in a future patch.
• Vault Hunters should no longer scream when affected by a DoT while shields are active.
• Vending Machines will now be restocked with higher quality “Items of the Day”.
• Adjusted a visual concern on Maliwan Shotguns with Cryo Element.
• Legendary loot drops have been balanced throughout the game. Crew Challenge enemies will drop their intended specific loot, and some enemies like Troy and Rampager will be a bit more stingy and no longer drop Legendaries every kill.

Vault Hunter Adjustments

Zane

Zane’s gadgets were great at providing additional utility but lacked impact as players leveled up. We increased the Digi-Clone damage with all equipped weapon so the skill can scale better with players as they get to higher levels and harder content. The Drone requires a lot of player involvement to take full advantage of its damage output and increasing the base damage as well as the augments will greatly increase the Drone’s versatility and reward players even more for using it effectively.

• Digi-Clone Damage Increased by 38%
• Drone Damage increased by 50%
• Cryo Bullets damage penalty removed
• Drone Rocket damage increased by 50%
• Almighty Ordnance Rockets damage increased by 75%

Amara

• Guardian Angel health restoration reduced from 100% to 50%
• Glamour damage penalty reduced from -30% to -10%

FL4K

Guerillas in the Mist’s bonuses greatly outweighed its penalty to the base skill. We don’t want to remove the playstyle completely, but the overall damage output had to be slightly adjusted because it was outperforming other builds. We’re monitoring the changes and may make another change to the ammo return in a future patch.

• Guerillas in the Mist duration reduced from 8 seconds to 6 seconds
• Guerillas in the Mist Critical Damage Bonus reduced from 50% to 25%

Performance

• [PC Only] Reduced the amount of texture streaming that was occurring when aiming down sights.
• Addressed a reported concern where certain users with a lot of people in their friend's list saw more frequent hitching.
• Implementing General stability improvements.

General Fixes and Improvements

• Addressed a reported issue where KillaVolt's Shield Storm attack does not disable the tiles around KillaVolt, resulting in the entire floor being activated (oops).
• Addressed a potential progression blocker in the mission "Footsteps of Giants".
• Addressed a reported issue where Guardian Rank had the potential to become non-functional and/or the player could potentially lose Guardian Rank tokens into the negatives.
• Modified vending machines so it will now sort items by rarity.
• Console FOV is now set to 75 by default. This will not affect players who have already started the game.
• Special prompts for particle text (Tediore guns, "critical", "immune") are now properly localized.
• Addressed a reported concern that certain players experienced where their vehicle's boost could continue into the next map.
• Addressed a reported concern with "Porcelain Pipe Bomb" where it set off multiple explosions when colliding with objects.

This grenade was never meant to explode multiple times. All enemies in the Borderlands universe are now safe from being instantly melted by radioactive poop.

This update contains the first batch of performance fixes. It's far from exhaustive, but we wanted to address issues and concerns with changes that were ready and tested out as soon as possible while the team continues active investigation and work on additional performance improvements for upcoming patches.

Fixes

• Yellow paint has been added to Ambermire to mark a more obvious path to complete the Sabotage Crew Challenge.
• The New-U Station in front of the Halcyon Suborbital Spaceport (used during the "Space-Laser Tag" Mission) in the Meridian Metroplex now has a larger activation range.
• The New-U Station in front of Titan's Gate (used during the "Atlas, At Last" Mission) in the Meridian Metroplex now has a larger activation range.
• The first Guardian a player runs into during the "Beneath the Meridian" mission is no longer over-leveled.
• The Eridian chest by the Grotto in the Jakob's Estate is no longer invisible.

Balance Updates

• Eridium crystals in Voracious Canopy grow less frequently.
• The amount of loot drops have been scaled down in Mayhem Mode.
• Torgue shotgun sticky damage has been reduced.
• E-Tech shotgun elemental damage has been reduced from "flesh off your bones" to "a lot".
• Chupacabratch dropped too much of his hard-earned loot.
• Adjusted spawn rate of Loot Tinks in Mansion. They're special again.
• Removed pain-sounds from Troy for his boss fight.

Hotfixes are applied at the Game Menu when you start the game. To ensure that the hotfix has been applied, go to the in-game menu and see if "Updates are available" is showing.

We know players have enjoyed a lot of our unique items and might be worried about the changes to Mayhem Mode. Mayhem Mode will still greatly increase higher rarity drop rates across all the worlds in Borderlands 3. The changes made in Mayhem Mode today, specifically on Chupacabratch and Loot Tinks, were made to spread some of the glory of loot explosions to the other areas and other enemies to hunt. We want Vault Hunters to hunt for unique items across all the worlds. That is the core promise of Mayhem Mode. The targeted adjustments seek to keep the grind fresh while still retaining an increase to unique drops for all parts of the game. We will be closely monitoring the changes to make sure players are still enjoying all the unique gear in the game.

In between the larger patches that will continue to expand and improve the game—the first one of those coming next week—we're able to make more minor adjustments via these hotfixes to improve and fine-tune your experience at a quicker pace. We'll continue to roll out these incremental improvements while evaluating gameplay data and identifying necessary balance adjustments, and will be keeping record of all patches on our site.

We are hard at work investigating issues that have been reported, including performance concerns and potential major bugs. Hot fixes generally are used to make balance changes and are handled by the design team. Additional reported concerns may affect other teams which may require that changes are made in a true content patch/title update. Together the Borderlands 3 teams are working tirelessly to release various patches or updates as soon as possible, however, we didn't want to wait on balance changes just for the sake of appearances. Thank you for your continued support.
