Borderlands 3 Hotfix: Legendary Weapons Nerfed, Full Patch Notes Released-September 2024

Sep 16, 2024 4:24 PM

　　Gearbox has released the latest hotfix update for Borderlands 3, and the patch is out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The hotfix is primarily aimed at balancing certain legendary weapons--effectively nerfing some of the best weapons, but it also implements a few bug fixes as well. Here's what's new and different.

　　"After looking through the data, we found that some pieces of Legendary gear were greatly outperforming others and felt they were limiting builds instead of increasing them," Gearbox writes in the full patch notes. "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."

　　The patch notes list massive buffs and nerfs for several legendary weapons across all gun manufacturers and several grenades. The most notable changes are to Flakker and Butcher--both shotguns are currently some of the best guns you can find in the game, dealing out tremendous amounts of damage with very few penalties.

　　Hidden among the many bug fixes implemented in this latest patch is a change that many Borderlands 3 players are likely going to enjoy seeing: a modification to shield boosters so that they now auto-pickup. Some shields, when damaged, cause boosters to drop that either buff or debuff your shield in unique ways. Since launch, you've had to individually loot these boosters off the ground--which is incredibly difficult to do in the midst of a hectic firefight. And once the fight is done, you have little need for the boosters. So automatically picking up the boosters is a very welcome change.

　　We've listed the remaining weapon changes and bug fixes below.
