Borderlands 3 was probably one of the most successful comebacks in recent years. With the well-known loot hit and some fresh ideas, the shooter was able to convince both players and critics. And there was and still is a lot of content to discover post-launch. Stupid only if the updates not only bring new content but also lots of new bugs and glitches into the game.
After a huge fan outcry, an update was released a week after the last patch to take care of the catastrophic error. The patch is Available for all platforms since April 30th at 9:00 p.m..
What are the problems?
Actually, the last patch of April 23 as part of the Borderlands 3 content offensive was intended to turn the endgame in the form of Mayhem 2.0 and add the 80s event Revenge of the Cartels. However, some mistakes crept in, and they were tough. At times, Borderlands 3 was even called "unplayable". Among other things, players complained about:
- Strong FPS drops in battles
- Guns drop with the wrong values
- Certain weapon skills don't work
- Sound bugs such as effects from opponents that continue after their death
- Reset vehicle settings and discovered areas
- Game crashes when trying to store weapons
These are just a few of the recent bugs. In a long Reddit thread about the new bugs and glitches, numerous players complain about the last patch, and more and more are added. With more and more abstruse bugs, the users line up in the list, but the new patch now seems to put an end to this. The team writes on the official website of Borderlands 3:
"We have released other hotfixes that temporarily disabled two resource-intensive chaos modifiers, border issues and the drone ranger, which has improved stability significantly. Fixing reported issues is, as always, at the top of our list. Also Today’s adjustments to drop quotas and the frequency of anointing are used to implement community feedback. "
In addition, you can send your problems to the developers via the email address available on the website if the new update still doesn't fix them. Gearbox definitely responds to the harsh criticism from fans. According to the developers, you should remain in the main menu until you see a sign that the hotfix was applied so that you can be absolutely sure that the patch worked
What new content is there?
In addition to the hopefully numerous bug fixes, the developers of Gearbox have also added some new content. For example, the Loot the Universe event started last week, in which the game sends you on weekly missions on temporary missions on which you can shoot massive legendary loot. It is part of this event from May 1st on the planet Promethea, where you can expect a lot of trigger-happy opponents and even more rare weapons. The Promethea mission is available all week until May 7th, then on to Eden-6.
In general, Borderlands 3 doesn't seem to get tired of entertaining its players with new loot and other absurdities. Because it looks like the current event will probably not be the last. In our article, we explain how you can even help real scientists with their research by playing the loot shooter.
